Story
It’s really hard to pretend like life is normal when you’re staring a monster in the eyes, though he’s both tempting and irritating in his human form. I put my days as a hunter behind me, unable to cope with the death and pain anymore, to become an upstanding citizen and for what? To assist Lake, a man who claims he’s not a monster but keeps talking about me like I’m edible and–even worse–wants to woo me?

Story
Tyson Langley thinks the king in Franklin University Kings is in reference to him. Star lacrosse player and God’s gift to the female and male population, there’s nothing the spoiled jock can’t have. It’s impossible for us to be in the same room without talking crap to each other. But I also have a secret…as much as I despise Ty, I want him too. I revel in our banter and in never knowing what he’ll say next. I’ve spent too much time on the wrong side of the law for someone like Ty, though, and if I want to escape my past, he’s a distraction I don’t need.

Story
My whole life, I thought dragons were majestic, wise, and fearsome creatures. Not to mention fictional. It's been less than a year since that last belief was debunked. Dragons are real, they're now living among us, and I'm the lucky realtor who gets to sell a house to their leader. I just have to impress his representative first. No problem—I'm a professional. Except the dragon rep turns out to be the guy I hooked up with last night, and he's fast disproving everything I believed about dragons. Unless "wise" actually means "addicted to glitter."

Story
Julien Doran arrived in sleepy Maudit Falls, North Carolina, with a heart full of hurt and a head full of questions. The key to his brother's mysterious last days might be found in this tiny town, and now Julien's amateur investigation is starting to unearth things the locals would rather keep buried. Perhaps most especially the strange, magnetic manager of a deserted retreat that's nearly as odd as its staff.

Publisher's Summary
NYPD Detective Alec MacAidan has always been good with weird. After all, his life has been a string of the unexplainable. But when an injured man gives him cryptic clues, then turns to dust in front of him, Alec's view on weird is changed forever.
Cronin, a vampire Elder, has spent the last 1,000 years waiting for Alec. He'd been told his fated one would be a man wielding a shield, but he didn't expect him to be human, and he certainly didn't expect that shield to be a police badge.
Both men, strong-willed and stubborn, are still learning how to cope with the push and pull of being fated, when fate throws them another curveball.
Rumors have spread quickly of turmoil in Egypt. Covens are fleeing with news of a vampire who has a talent like no other, hell-bent on unleashing the wrath of Death.
Alec and Cronin are thrown into a world of weird Alec cannot imagine. What he learned in school of ancient pharaohs and Egyptian gods was far from the truth. Instead, he finds out firsthand that history isn't always what it seems.

This book was fantastic. The way Joel Leslie narrates is pure theatre. It is like listening to a play. Fully recommend.

May be the most perfect book read or written
I am not a fan of paranormal books usually and avoid them as I find my eye rolls hazardous to my health.
But I'm a big fan of NR Walker and have had many people tell me that Cronin's Key is one of their favourite books - so bowing to this author's brilliance, I decided to dip my toe into the paranormal waters once again and hope for the best.
I'm not sure if the decision to 'read' these books via the Audible first influenced my engagement or not, but now that I have also read the kindle version (and re-listened to the Audible again) I can say definitively that it doesn't matter. Paranormal or not, this is now in my top 5 books. Ever.
Certainly Joel Franklin's narration was once again outstanding and his depiction of accents in this book was simply brilliant. As soon as I heard Cronin's scottish lilt, I fell in love. It sounded like David Tennant whispering sweet nothings in my ear and I was lost.
But the story itself - completely original, deeply engaging and had me hooked from the first sentence.
NR Walker's use of historical events, places and people to embed within her vampiric tales was simply stunning. I now get a private glee whenever I see any of the depicted historical places, events or people and it immediately brings Cronin, Alec and the crew to mind.
There is everything to love in this book and nothing to detract. It may be the most perfect book written.

white men should not do non-white accents
i love NR Walker, who always manages to balance interesting, captivating stories with romance without the stories feeling heavily weighted one way or another.
i think Joel Leslie does a great job with white ppl accents, even his scottish is pretty decent.
However his "japanese" accent sounds like a racist trope and i found myself uncomfortable listening to it. his "arabic" doesn't really sound arabic either.
white men really need to stick to white ppl accents.

Horny human and apologetic vampire fight their urges for each other while the world is ending
What to expect:
A story heavily focused on fated soul mates (a rather a**holey human cop, and a permanently apologetic ancient Scottish vampire) and their unexpressible/repressed sexual attraction to each other, while there’s a small background threat of the world ending which they should be actively preventing. Expect a main focus of the story to be on meeting your soul mate and wanting to keep them as close to you as possible at all times.
Story: great start, very engaging, fast pace, and good potential for depth of character and world background. This is soon overshadowed by horniness and apologies. The interesting dynamic of the two main characters becomes two dimensional and tiresome as it devolves into codependence between a human adult (who behaves like a horny teen) and a possessive millenia-old vampire who can’t stop apologising for every small inconvenience to the human while growling possessively).
Performance:
I struggled with the ‘breathy/raspiness’ style of the narration for the main character. It stopped me from listening to this audiobook the last three times I tried to start it. However, after a few chapters I somehow adapted to it really quickly, so if the story seems up your alley, I would suggest persisting over the initial speed bump if the narration doesn’t work for you.
I will try the next book, as there’s some good potential here.
