Slay Me

Immortal Vices and Virtues, Book 9

De: Jessica Wayne

Narrado por: Bridget Bordeaux, Jake Bordeaux

In No Man’s Circus, the Ringmaster controls everything–even me.

Every evening, I’m forced to perform. High above a crowd of supernaturals, I fly on my lyra. Never high enough to escape my captor.

And when the lights go down and the audience goes home, it’s just him and me.

I shouldn’t enjoy it.

This obsession he has with me.

But as a hybrid in a world where power is king, I’m nothing special. Except when his eyes are on my body.

He’s a beast whose strength is unparalleled, a creature who demands my obedience. But even as the twisted parts of me are drawn to him, I refuse to be broken.

He’ll have to kill me first.

Every audiobook is a guaranteed happily ever after with a satisfying ending and no cliffhangers. For mature listeners 18+ due to language, sexual situations, and violence.

the story was good

the story was good the narrators did amazing!! the book was engaging and interesting! the fmc wasn't a favorite of mine.

Enjoyed the circus!

I enjoyed this book in the original line-up from the IV&V shared universe, I thought the play on the circus in no-man's land was fabulous, I could imagine the acts and creatures involved. It made for an intriguing storyline.

I accidentally skipped ahead and listened to Covet Me before listening to this one so I met some of the characters already with one of the tasks in that book. I liked getting their background and the connections with the little cameos and connections in Covet Me. I was on the fence with the Ringmaster but he definitely pulled through and became a great character to fall for. He was so protective and feral when it came to his mate once he let his feelings take root haha. He tried to keep her at arm's length because of what he is and who would be coming for him eventually, he didnt want her to get hurt in the crossfire, but he learned he can't stop their mating bond and feelings (and the chemistry was done really well!).

I loved Liv, she was such a complex character and I loved how things happened with D and how the others treated her (her besties, not the horrible mean girl of the circus though, and the lions hehe). I liked all the other characters in the circus too, the security of the circus caught my eye (and they get their own love story that I absolutely ate up!). I will say I did see the bad guy coming, but not exactly how things went down but it was a good story nonetheless. This was my first from this author but I will be checking them out more now! The tension was done really well, I do wish there was more steam but that wouldnt have fit with the other books in this first run (they amped it up in the next series with the RH relationships). I do appreciate how well the author wrote the big baddie, how they weaved the abuse and how the creature treated Liv and the others in his horrible group. I felt for Liv and really liked her. I loved the ending of this book as well!

Narration was good for me, again the narrators do a lot in the audio world and one does a better job changing up their voices for the different stories and one doesnt. I would give them solid 4s for this one, I felt the turmoil, the hurt, the strength to try and not let their mating happen. I also felt the fear from the other performers with their contracts with D and how they felt caged and the sad deaths in the circus. I thought they did a good job performing the acts too, it was easy to imagine them in my head.

Overall good story, I thought it added to the shared world and was so happy to get book in the circus that I will be reviewing shortly haha.

Steamy Listen

Magic. Supernaturals. Dragon shifter. Oh my!
Where trust is hard to come by and realizing you aren’t defined by your past.
