Unhinged…GIVE ME MORE!

Hear me out:
Foster siblings falling each other! While clearly not a traditional love story, you can’t help but fall for Olivia and Malachi. Please read the trigger warnings because this story is amazing, but NOT for everyone. The depth brought to the characters in such a short period of time was wonderful. Leigh Rivers did beautifully giving us all the important information.
Olivia from the very start of meeting her new brother as children wants to love him and make him feel special. Malachi is a little bit different due to circumstance and is selective mute - and dealing with ASPD. He is obsessed with Olivia from the start. She is the only kind person to him in the world.
Onto the audio - one of my favorite things about this is the fact that Joe Arden literally sounds like he is signing as he is speaking when in the parts of the book he’s talking to anyone, for me that was just phenomenal. His inner monologue, his signing and actual speech are so distinguishable between the 3. It’s just extraordinary. Malachi story broke my heart, and that was 100% because Joe makes you believe it. Heather Firth, oh how I loved you as Olivia. You never wavered in your conviction throughout the story and you made listening to her side so enjoyable.

Amazing Duet Performance!

First off, you definitely pay attention to the trigger warnings on this one. It’s extremely DARK and has some taboo elements (foster siblings relationship, dubcon, violence, stalking, etc) that might be too much for the casual listener.

The performances from both Heather Firth and Joe Arden are A+++ here. Arden in particular delivers so much raw and desperate emotion as Malachi. I was hanging on his every word for the entirety of his POV. So glad we got to hear this as a duet too so we could get each narrator speaking their own lines even in the other’s POV.

Was the story perfect? No. Some plot elements didn’t quite work for me but I enjoyed the overarching tension and obsession vibes between the two MCs enough go along for the ride.

Highly recommended for the incredible performances and emotional storytelling!

Joe Arden is a king

🎧Audiobook Review🎧
Little Stranger
By: Leigh Rivers
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ / 5
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ / 5
Narrated by Joe Arden and Heather Firth
Joe Arden deserves all the awards and recognition for this. Him saying “no one ever chooses me” fucking broke me. I felt it in my soul. Heather Firth really just did a phenomenal job with the emotional range and her inner turmoil was very clear. Listening to them bring Leigh Rivers words to life was amazing. I’m so glad I did the audiobook so I could experience the extended epilogue! I really loved this story and I even made it through all the scenes with the spider. I actually felt a little sad when you found out what happened to his pet spider. So you know this is good writing if you can make this arachnophobe feel sad for a spider.
I absolutely hated the mother. I went in blind to the plot of the story and I did not expect the mother to be that abhorrent. I’m just glad Olivia had Malakhi to be there to protect her.

And this spice. It was spicing. It was a plenty and I loved all of it. ⛓️🕷️🪛🌶️🌶️🌶️ more please!

The ending made me wonder if we’ll get more of Olivia and Malakhi…I hope we do. Please 🙏
I think I’m done reading about spiders now. I’m gonna need a hundred showers to not feel like I have webs in my hair and the back of my neck isn’t itchy. 😂

The only downside is wish it was longer!

The authors dark disturbing creativity + the magic that is Joe Arden = deliciously dark story to devour.

Joe Arden was the perfect voice actor for Ky

Absolutely loved this book, and everything about it. Ky and Olivia belong together, that was destiny and I am so happy that they got their HEA! Hoping there’s a second one!
