Gods & Monsters [Dramatized Adaptation] #1, Part 2
The Book of Azrael (Part 2 of 2) [Dramatized Adaptation]
World Ender meets Ender of Worlds...
A thousand years ago, Dianna gave up her life in the deserts of Eoria to save her dying sister. She called upon anyone who would listen, not expecting a monster far worse than any nightmare to answer. Now she does what Kaden asks, even if that means securing an ancient relic from the very creatures that hunt her.
A King thought long dead and long forgotten.
In the old world his name was Samkiel. In the new world it is Liam, but one title remains true throughout time. He is the World Ender, a myth to his enemies, a savior and King to those loyal to him. After the Gods War, he locked himself away, hiding from the world. He denied his crown and responsibilities, leaving the very ones who needed him most to deal with the fallout of the death of their homeworld. Now an attack on those he holds dear sends him back to the one realm he never wished to visit again and into the sights of an enemy he thought imprisoned eons ago.
Now enemies older than time must put aside their differences and work together in hopes of saving both their world and every realm in between.
Adapted from the novel and produced with a full cast of actors, immersive sound effects and cinematic music!

Not writing two separate reviews. All my thoughts are in part 1 🖤

The dramatized adaptation of this audiobook is soooo good! I finished part one and immediately got this second part because I needed to finish the story!
Diana and Liam are really going through some things in this second half! A budding romance, being hunted by Kaden, being betrayed by allies, and now trying to stop the apocalypse of the universe! It was and emotional and anxiety inducing 😂
The narrators again were so perfect and the emotions shown in their performances had my emotions all over the place! It ends on a cliffhanger that had me shocked and saddened. When it ended, I just sat there for a second just trying to take everything in 😂 I hope they make the dramatized versions of the other books soon because I needed them now! 😭

Seriously questioning my life’s choices. Pulled an all nighter the night before Thanksgiving because I simply just could not put this audiobook down.
Graphic Audio is definitely the way to go. I loved it, my review stands the same as part 1. The only thing to add to this review is that I did not see that ending coming. As much as I want to jump into book 2 I’m going to wait for the graphic audio to come out because I’m obsessed with the narrator’s voices and how well they portray their characters. It is the only way I will be recommending this book from here on out.

(Same review as part 1)
The Book of Azrael by Amber V. Nicole
Gods and Monsters, book 1
Graphic Audio, full cast including Gabriel Michael and Marissa Clay as MMC and FMC
The whole cast did a great job with this performance! For those not familiar with Graphic Audio, the book is performed with different narrators for each voice along with sound effects and music! It's a great time and the narrators really bring these charters to life and give them so much emotion! And I am on a quest to listen to everything thing Gabriel Michael has narrated, so there's that!
Dual POV, enemies to lovers, mental health rep, morally grey FMC, will do anything for sister, slow burn turns spicy, god MMC who just wants to be left alone, they are both powerful, gods and vampiric shapeshifters, banter, betrayal, monsters, high stakes, touch her/him and find out, both jealous and possessive, so much betrayal, cliffhanger!
Dianna does whatever is demanded of her to keep her sister safe. And as much as she hates who she is and what she has done, it is all worth it for Gabby. But when she runs into a new threat, everything changes and she turns on the one who has controlled her for so long. Samkiel was supposed to be gone, but now he is begrudgingly here and not happy about it. Dianna makes a new deal to ensure her sister's safety in return for helping him take down her previous master. But can she trust him as they scramble to reach a powerful relic before their enemies do?
This book is action packed and had me on the edge of my seat! I love that Dianna is strong and powerful but that she meets her match with Samkiel. As he does with her. Her banter and him learning it (he has not been around so is learning the modern world) is humorous and while a wanted to knock their heads together a few times, I adored their falling for each other! I also liked that Samkiel wasn't perfect and put together, but also had his own mental health issues to deal with. The ending had me staring at the wall and also scrambling to get to the next book!

I’ll be honest — I was a little confused at first by all the different names and types of creatures, but once I found my footing, the storyline completely captured my attention.
What struck me most was the sister bond. It was written so beautifully and felt so real. As an older sister myself, I connected deeply with Diana. Her protectiveness, her fear of losing the people she loves, and the weight she carries on her shoulders all hit close to home. I understood her in a way that made the story even more emotional and immersive.
But that ending though?!?! 😩😩😩

I’m in deep! This book, the characters, the true enemies to lovers has been amazing! I would recommend this to anyone, especially the graphic audio. I was listening to it when I went to bed and the minute I woke up. I just couldn’t put it down. It got it’s hooks into me and didn’t let go. The only thing I would say is that the GA isn’t available for all books yet, and it’s not a completed series (currently 4 books released).
Having said that, the slow burn, the tension, the development of the main characters relationship was top tier! There was action, plot twists, and that cliffhanger was not what I was expecting 👀
It’s a duel POV story and Samkiel (aka Liam) is played by Gabriel Michael, it took me a while to forget he wasn’t Xaden, but I have to say, he plays the character so well alongside the female lead Marissa Clay, and I lapped it up 🥵. Forbidden romance is one of my favourite tropes, and this delivered!! Run, don’t walk, to this series 😍

I’M SORRY?! IT CAN’T JUST END THERE!
If you can’t tell this book ends on a cliffhanger that twists so hard I’ve got whiplash. This book is a 10/10 read 5/5⭐️ and omg the emotions I went through reading it.
Diana and Samkiel 😭❤️.
“My little Diana.”
“Yes, your highness?”
This book wrecked me in absolutely the best ways and I will definitely recommend it to everyone now so they can suffer with me. Oh and book 2 as soon a as I can afford it, I’M COMING FOR YOU! The plots and twists had my heart in my throat and I fell in love with the characters right away. It’s one of those books that you can tell right from the start that it’ll be one of the best books you’ve ever read. Now I’ll just have to somehow emotionally recover from this.

I was completely surprised by what this book was about! My best friend, Melissa, suggested we read it together, and we both listened to the graphic audiobook while trying to follow along with the physical book.
These characters and the world the author created are amazing! Samkiel (the world ender) and Diana are absolutely incredible. This book wasn’t as dark as I expected, but I really loved it.
That ending was just amazing.
Let’s give the narrators a big shout-out! They do such an amazing job, making it feel like a movie in your ears.
It took me a little longer to finish because I didn’t want it to end. I can’t wait to read book 2. I highly recommend this book.

So after waiting a while to get part 2 - it was not hard to get back into however, I found it more boring. Usually the second half of the book is ramping up and unfortunately in splitting them up and me having to wait on Libby for part 2 - it seems to have lost its momentum.
Also I want to say that for a “god” world ender…. It doesn’t seem possible that other people should be able to get as close to him in fights or give him a hard time….. it should be impossible and these others somehow over-powered?
Nevertheless, similar to Many romantasy books the ending was just wild. It was like an oh shit. Oh damn moment. And as such I suppose I will have to carry on with the series.

Tyckte boken var ganska seg i början. Gillar inte urban fantasy jätte mycket men gillade ändå världuppbyggnaden. Bad ass huvudkaraktär och deras relation växte på ett positivt sätt för gillade inte riktigt den till en börja. Slutet vad 10/10. Om de inte hade haft det höga tempotet i slutet hade jag bara gett boken 3,5⭐️ men den får 4 bara för slutet och cliffhanger. Ser definitivt fram emot bok 2

The romance in this was the kind of buildup I prefer so that was my favorite part of this! Some people said this was insta-love but months do go by and it definitely wasn’t insta-lust. Looking for the book was an interesting plot line but I wish they did the ending differently. I’ll see how it develops in book 2!
Also some of the cutscenes reminded me of a video game which I’ve never felt in a book before!

I love that both the FMC and the MMC have their own POV chapters! This is amazing! It was NOT what I expected and far exceeded my expectations! The plot twists, character development, the magic system and world building, the enemies to friends to ?
I am now obsessed with Samkiel as a book boyfriend! Diana is a strong FMC and I am totally rooting for them!!

The graphic audio was just not my thing and the “World Ender” came across as anything but. I don’t know if it was the voice actor or the incessant background noise, but it was a struggle to get through this. I think I may try reading the book to give it an honest chance.

Ho. Ly. Crap. The ads online were so wrong about this book and because of those ads I thought the first half was horrible. Turns out this book is so much better than I could’ve expected and they really need to fix the advertising

I really enjoyed the Graphic Audio of this book. It was fast-paced with lots of action and compelling characters. Samkiel/Liam and Diana had great chemistry and I liked how their relationship developed. Quite the cliffhanger. Need to start the next book.

This book just isn’t doing it for me. The story is taking too long to get to the point.
