Por lo que pude ver por un mensaje al final creo que hay posibilidad de más historias en este mundo. It is in severe need of a diligent editor; there are several grammatical and spelling mistakes on top of things just needing to be revised for a better reading flow. Ps: vi prego, qualcuno fermi questi/e protagonisti/e che passano pagine e pagine a commentare il “membro” del loro interesse amoroso 😂 e quanto è lungo, e quanto è grosso, addirittura non riesce a stringerlo bene tra le dita 😂😂 e fa i confronti con quello dei suoi precedenti amanti. Speaking of Claims, the Claims aren't really explained: why does the town need Claims if the castle is sealed and Marius can't leave? The only people who get really substantial descriptions (of physical appearance only, I'll get to characterization in a sec) are Jak's mother and Marius.

Las escenas "spicy" de este libro son buenas, pero tampoco diría que es lo más HOT Y CANDENTE que he leído en mi vida. i honestly skimmed through a lot of the second half of the story because i lost any hope that it would get better. Or perhaps this is meant to say that Jak visualizing then executing is his personal style to cast the spell, like that's special to him. This could have been so easily avoided and I just can‘t understand the mind set of a person putting out a product that is so clearly a first draft. However the witch's curse also backfired, draining the magic from the coven down to a negligible level from then on.Jak, a boy born with power that the witches have not seen in a century, is their prophesied saviour. For years the town of Darkmourn has been sending "Claims" to Castle Dread to satiate the hunger of the Eternal Prince who resides within. It's implied that he is a powerful witch with a lot of knowledge and he takes his mission very seriously, that he was deprived of normal pleasures and dedicated his entire life to training, but it's all told to us rather than shown. I'm sad to say it was boring, predictabe, I didn't like the writing style, didn't care about the characters at all, and it's such a shame since I really enjoyed Cloaked in Shadow by the same author when I read it a few years ago. This is just something you have to get used to in the book, which admittedly gets easier the further in you go, because if nothing else it wears you down so much that you just accept your fate in this prose and syntax hellscape.

I've previously read a fair share of Ben's books and was looking forward to enjoying them in an audiobook form however the narration does not work with the story. For some reason, Jak just won't kill the coven, even though at the end it's implied that Jak and Marius go on a total murder spree at the end of the book. This story is so well narrated that at times I was almost able to ignore the complete mess that is made of this well conceived story for the want of a dedicated editor.Jak is not very likeable, though he has zero personality, so I would be surprised if any reader was able to muster any emotion towards him. If you are looking for some paranormal light reading, with a little bit of drama and action, it's for you. I have wanted to listen to/read Ben's books for a while because they sound interesting but the performance of this is just horrible. What I enjoyed was the idea of this book (a vampire + a witch who must kill him), there were some really good scenes in the middle of the book when the two MCs decided to get to know each other and the ending. There are characters or settings that get described fairly well while others get kicked to the side and just hope you don't notice.

I think this book either should've been longer or just spent a little more time in the editing stage because things come up or happen in this book that feel important but just aren't. Another sentence reads: "It would ruin the entire plan in a heartbeat if a candle etched with Mother's runes, or a pack of tarot cards would be found in my possession by him.Aunque puede parecer que todo sucede de forma rápida entre ellos, si se logra sentir esa conexión que hacen que se enamoren el uno del otro. But at some point, it starts to feel more like the author is just trying to tick off as many recognizable tropes and scenes as he can instead of focusing on just making a really good story. I'm not sure if it's just the story itself that's mediocre, or if it's the narrator's performance that makes it even more stiff than it has to. not every steamy fantasy novel needs to be 12+ hours but this is an instance where it’s lacking quite a bit of the important elements. It started off a bit weak but got a lot better as the story progressed and focused on our couple, Jak and Marius.
