About this listen

He’s the most beautiful man I’ve ever seen…and the most dangerous. Eternally young and full of a brilliant passion that may ultimately be the end of me: my perfect Dorian Gray.

The painting that’s kept Dorian Gray flawless for over a century is beginning to fall apart, rotted by his life of reckless decadence. Desperate, he seeks out the only person who might be able to save him: a talented young painter descended from Dorian’s first love.

Baz may have the same magical gift as her ancestor, but she’s vowed never to paint anyone’s likeness again. Haunted by the memory of the terrible price her talent can exact, she swears she will not be swayed—not even by the seductive words dripping like venom from the lips of the most beautiful man she’s ever met.

Yet as Dorian tries to persuade Baz by any means possible, they become aware of a darker, deadlier magic awakening around them. Dangerous forces, long dormant, have been stirred by Baz’s presence…and are determined to have her no matter the cost. As tensions rise and desire flares ever-hotter, Baz and Dorian become trapped in a complex web of conflicting motives, messy emotions, and a growing, desperate passion that may well consume them both.

An addictive and truly original spicy New Adult retelling of The Picture of Dorian Gray with a magical twist.

Absolutely magical and gritty reimagining

The Picture of Dorian Gray was already a masterpiece of literature, but Rebecca F Kenney's reimagining brings so much more life into the story. I enjoyed every moment. The internal struggles of both Dorian and Baz felt so rough and raw. Baz, dealing with the fallout of a youthful mistake, swears to never draw a portrait again. Dorian is desperate to continue his life of debauchery and guiltless pleasure. They are drawn to each other despite their differing views and have to find a way to work together or stay apart. There are fascinating supernatural forces at work that add intrigue and destruction into their lives. This is an amazingly woven story that can be enjoyed on its own, but it is best when read after Beautiful Villain, Rebecca's reimagining of The Great Gatsby.

The narration was wonderful. Avery and Alexander were perfect voices for Baz and Dorian.

My new favorite of RFK's books!

I absolutely loved the story. Dorian's painting is deteriorating, and he is desperate to show Bez, who is a descendent of Basil (the artist who created his original portrait) why he needs to have another portrait drawn in hopes of saving his life. While Dorian shows Bez the finer things money can buy, Bez teaches Dorian the beauty of the things money cannot buy. The story is beautifully written. Being a native of South Carolina, it was so cool to listen to descriptions of places I know. They were so on point and so descriptive, I knew exactly what and where Rebecca was describing. The Celtic mythology tie in to the story thrilled my Irish heart, too. The narrators did a fantastic job. I plan to go back and listen to the first book in the series now. I certainly was not lost starting with Dorian's story, but I am now want the whole series. Can't wait for another installment!
