About this listen
DUET NARRATION WITH A BONUS CHAPTER!
SLEEPING BEAUTY x HADES & PERSEPHONE
Tarian Hadez—thirty-three, real estate mogul, mob lord, most eligible bachelor in New England, god. The god-part is an exaggeration. After all, if true deities existed, then the world would be a magical place, and it's really not. At least, my world isn't.
Calanthe Bloom. That's me. Twenty-four, college graduate drowning in debt, true crime addict, florist by default, single by design. Although not living my best life, I'm enthusiastically pursuing it. Especially, in my dreams, which, since a recent flower-delivery snafu, all feature none other than lethally private Tarian.
Oh, the things he does to me when I sleep.
Wickedly surreal.
Except . . . are they?
Enter a world of gods and monsters where dreams are made of flesh. My Dark Beast is a paranormal romance standalone brimming with spice and intrigue.
Content warning: strong language, sexually explicit scenes, graphic violence, Alzheimer's, alcohol drinking, abduction of an adult, addiction to "magical" drugs (off page), death of a loved one (off page).

I've been captured by a monster...and I just might let him keep me. One night out, one innocent conversation, and now I'm lying on the ground fighting for my life. No one realizes I'm missing. No one's coming to save me. Until a brutal winged beast eviscerates my attackers, saving me in a spray of blood. In one night I go from my mundane, unfulfilling life, to living in a castle with a monster who vows to claim me as his own. I know I should resist his forbidden embrace. But I'm irresistibly drawn to his darkness, and dangerously close to falling for this brutal beast. I'm playing with fire...

To grandmother’s house I go, though I want nothing to do with magic or my former life. Especially not after being kicked out of the Fairy Fine Arts Academy. But when I find a dangerous, heavily scarred wolf shifter in my grandma’s bedroom, the fragile human lifestyle I've built from scratch is suddenly at stake. Magic, chaos, and my past is charging at me like a raging ogre on pixie sticks. My grandma is nowhere to be found, and I’m being hunted.

The dragon king has finally found his mate: me. For centuries, every woman in my family has vanished on the night of her twenty-first birthday, then returned telling tales of being shamefully ravaged by a man who could turn into a dragon. Tonight he came for me. I fought, but he just tore off my clothes and spanked me until I was wet and ready for him. The brute didn't take me right then and there. He made me beg for it first. But even before he marked me as his, I knew he wasn't going to send me home after he mounted and claimed me.

In exchange for my father’s help in defeating their Unseelie enemies, I would wed Atakan the heartless. The Seelie prince loathed everyone, but none more than me. Throughout the years leading to our nuptials, each encounter grew more terrifying than the last as he demonstrated how he’d earned his infamous reputation.

It was supposed to be a quick mission. The only thing quick about it was how rapidly I failed. With only a month left to earn her missing feathers, twenty-year-old Leigh embarks on a trip to Paris to meet her newest project, twenty-five-year-old Jarod Adler, leader of the Parisian Mafia and the worst kind of sinner . . . a Triple. If Leigh can get Jarod to accomplish a single act of kindness, she stands to win 100 feathers, more than enough to complete her wings and ascend to Elysium, the land of angels.

I am an object of desire. My powers of seduction are my survival, my weapon, and my curse. I'm no stranger to obsession, but for the first time, I crave it. I love it when he watches me, follows me, hunts me. In the mortal lands, I was safe from him. Navigating a city of ruthless vampires to save my sister from the human slave trade was already treacherous. But with the ruling vampire lord's unrelenting focus on me, I fear his shadows might never let me go.

I was fifteen when the Death King came for us. With a mighty black dragon and the ability to command the dead, he raised an army of our fallen soldiers to fight for him—and conquered us in the night. My father, King Laurier of Scorpion Valley, couldn’t stop him. I tried to flee but came face to face with the man in black armor, the man who looked more like a god than a human. Instead of killing me, he chose to show me mercy… but it didn’t feel like mercy. Not when the next ten years of my life are spent as a slave in the Arid Sands, digging for Black Diamonds from sunrise to sunset.

Staying away from my lakeside hometown was the plan, but Mom died suddenly. Dad said she suffered a stroke after she dug up one of the ancient Native American graves in our backyard. Creepy, I know. Creepier still, there was no corpse inside the old coffin, only fresh rose petals. As we made preparations for her burial, unnervingly odd and beautiful newcomers poured into my small town. A coroner with emerald eyes and black hair, much too young for the job. An arrogant blond socialite, who lived to get under my skin. And a tattooed Native man, who wasn’t supposed to be alive.

Cassie was never able to experience the life that many take for granted, the freedom to dictate her own journey. No, her life had been spent sheltered, protected from an inevitable fate that would come for her regardless of what anyone could do. After her medical condition goes downhill, she is left with a few years of breath in her lungs and a choice: die alone, without ever experiencing what it truly means to feel alive and free; or to find that light, that missing puzzle piece, that feeling of not feeling so alone in her final days.

Story
Cassie was never able to experience the life that many take for granted, the freedom to dictate her own journey. No, her life had been spent sheltered, protected from an inevitable fate that would come for her regardless of what anyone could do. After her medical condition goes downhill, she is left with a few years of breath in her lungs and a choice: die alone, without ever experiencing what it truly means to feel alive and free; or to find that light, that missing puzzle piece, that feeling of not feeling so alone in her final days.

I used to be a cop, and now I kill people for fun. Yeah, yeah I know. Never admit to your crimes. But you don't know who I am. To you, I'm just words in a blurb.

Story
At Bloodwing Academy, blood is currency, but a dragon's legacy is priceless—and as dangerous as fire. I thought surviving my first year in Bloodwing's deadly halls would be enough. I was wrong. I accidentally woke a dragon—a creature of myth, of death, of fire. Now, every highblood house wants control over me and the dragon's legacy I carry. But here's the truth: I have no control. I'm bluffing my way through every encounter, trying to keep everyone from realizing that I'm not the one pulling the dragon's strings.

Narration 🎧🎧🎧🎧
This book was wild! I didn’t know how Olivia was going to cross a Hades/Persephone with Sleeping Beauty, but I’ll be damned…she did. Her world building is phenomenal. The mains get stuck in dreamland for a while and each time you go into a new dream it’s like a whole new world and the descriptions are incredible. And the story telling is just so so good. It is lengthy but honestly I don’t know what could have been eliminated. This was so good. Now I feel like I need to go back and reread it and I’ll probably pick up on so many things I missed the first time through.
The narration was so good. This is my first by these two narrators and I thought they did a stunning job. The narration style was interesting because it wasn’t completely in duet or completely in dual but it was like a mix of both.

I am already a huge fan of Olivia so when I saw thid audiobook I jumped at the chance and am thrilled that I did.
The narration was amazing! It's a combo style of duet and dual. Blair was phenomenal at changing her tone to match different characters. Zachary was such a perfect Tarian, his timbre made me melt anytime he spoke. They both made the spicy scenes jaw droppingly good.
The story really captivated me and I didn't want to stop listening. The dreamsharing setting was intriguing and I enjoyed how it played out. As always, I love Olivia's writing style and how she weaves these incredible tales. There are always comedic elements to break up the tension sometimes from the sassy FMC Calanthe. My favorite chapters were in Tarian's POV because how he thought and spoke just had me swooning.
Olivia knows how to write spice🔥Even though the scenes were brief, and they often got interrupted, the quality and steam factor were off the charts.
The world was one we already knew with a twist of immortal gods living in it as mafia-inspired families. The story had incredible mystery elements that kept me guessing. At times the family felt like they were on a soap opera and I ate it up and asked for more. The secrets and twists were nonstop! My mouth was agape the entire last third of the book as all the mysteries were revealed. I also wasn't sure that things were going to end well. Luckily for everyone, this book had a fabulous comeuppance with a perfect HEA.
great writing great narration kept me hooked!

The romance made me blush and kicked my feet like a school girl.
But I did not like the mystery part of it, I got confused a couple of times because of all the names. But yet again, I don’t like mysteries in general so I might just be biased.
Nice
