Confession time: I have many books in my Audible library that have been narrated by Greg Boudreaux/Greg Tremblay (two names for the same person) but I had not listened to any of them until I received a copy of The Twelfth Knight by Victoria Sue.

I loved this book so much when I read it (see original review below) but I’m having trouble finding the right words to describe how much more I loved it while listening to it. OMG – the voices Greg does for the many different characters in this story!

When I started listening to it I had so many other things I should have been doing but instead I became totally absorbed in the story all over again and listened to it straight through. This is somewhat unusual for me when listening to a book that I’ve already read. It’s especially unusual when it’s only been a couple of months since I read the book.

All I can say is – if you enjoy fantasy and/or books based on King Arthur’s Knights, one click this book or audiobook as fast as you can. It was truly amazing!

Below is my original review from October 2019:

I pretty much don’t read fantasy-based romance stories, and I have to be honest here… When Victoria Sue first announced that she would be writing books based on King Arthur’s Knights/Camelot, I wasn’t sure how I felt about that. But I have been doing beta reads for her for a while now, so when she asked her beta group to read this for proofing, etc. I couldn’t let myself say no.

OMG – she had me hooked nearly from the first paragraph. The Twelfth Knight is a fairly complex story. It does a lot of the world building that I’m sure will be needed in future books for the series, but I never felt like it was tedious information and it never caused the story to drag for me. In fact, it was just the opposite; it kept me enchanted with it.

Lance and his group were all Knights at Arthur’s Roundtable and they are immortal (you will learn why when you read the book). Each of them must find the other half of their soul in order to help save the world. The Twelfth Knight focuses on the relationship between Lance and Mel, who is Lance’s other half.

Mel’s life hasn’t been great ever since his beloved father died when he was ten. His mother became an alcoholic and drug addict which ended up with Mel in the care of family services at age thirteen. His experiences in the system weren’t good and he ran away at age fifteen. He did what he had to in order to survive.

Lance doesn’t want Mel to be the other half of his soul and he fights his feelings for quite a while. Mel is skeptical about everything that Lance and his friends tell him but it doesn’t take him long to accept it.

The world that Victoria Sue has created is really special. The way she blends the past with present day is great. We meet a lot of different characters in this book and I hope there will be books for all of them.

With The Twelfth Knight, Victoria Sue has once again proven to me that she is a masterful storyteller. I have no idea how she comes up with her ideas for stories but I hope she doesn’t run out of them any time soon. While Lance and Mel get a HFN in this story there are things that won’t be answered until future books.
