Aurora's Angel by Emily Noon
4.0

Stumbled onto this one looking for more Abby Craden-narrated sapphic fiction in my quest to delve further into the audiobook realm. I mean really, that should be enough said about the audiobook, because I’m fairly certain Abby could make anything sound beautiful and sexy.

I haven’t read a lot of shapeshifter stories, but this one was interesting. The sexy scenes were hot, the settings were well described, and the side characters were interesting. It was long, and I figured out both of the mysteries fairly early on, but it wasn’t totally hit you over the head with it and overall I enjoyed it.

I don’t know what it looked like in print but there were parts where the dialogue felt stilted, and it got a bit repetitive, but I genuinely liked Evie and Aurora and they definitely fed off of each other’s energy. There was a bit of possessiveness from both sides that I don’t think I would have enjoyed in a real world setting, but I have a feeling that’s a genre thing with the whole animalistic beast side of the shapeshifting fantasy realm.
