The Finisher

Dark Verse, Book 4

De: RuNyx

Narrado por: Wen Ross, Ramona Master

What happens when a beast of blood finds a bride of light in the land of death?

Growing up on the streets of Los Fortis, Alessandro 'Alpha' Villanova scrapped his way to the top, fighting for his very survival, losing everything in the process. The city that shunned him then is the one he rules now, albeit alone, as the king of a dark empire few know about.

Far from Alpha's world, Zephyr de la Vega has a normal life, a normal family, and normal drama. Her biggest problem is people trying to make her lose a few pounds. When a chance encounter puts her on Alpha's path, she makes a proposition that changes the course of both their lives.

As a killer goes on a spree in Alpha's city, taking apart his scarred empire corpse by corpse, and the Syndicate comes into play, Alpha and Zephyr's partnership evolves into something deeper, more enduring, and more powerful than either of them anticipated.

Evil ascends. Darkness descends.

A new order is born.

The Finisher is the highly anticipated fourth book in the Dark Verse series.It is not a standalone. Listening to the series in order is highly recommended.

Mafia Romance + Grumpy/Sunshine

This book follows Alpha & Zephyr and them finding their way back to each other.

I absolutely adored Zephyr and her love for Alpha, I also loved that she wasn't just this bubbly girl that gave and gave and gave without it draining her.

Their story broke my heart and because this series has a subplot throughout the series I can't wait until the final book comes out so I can finally get some HEAs

Loved!

I loved this book, it’s my fav of the series so far. I laughed hysterically all the way through

Amazing audio!

This book cannot be read as a standalone.
The audiobook are narrated by the amazing Wen Ross and Ramona Master.

I was expecting that this book was darker but no, it was mind blowing.
Zephyr loves Alpha for all of her life.
Alpha is the boss of the city and doesn’t remember her…
This is a :
- marriage of convenience (she pursues him)
- grumpy ass / rainbow
- mafia
- fight club
- amnesia (him)

Each book ends on a cliffhanger. This one doesn’t disappoint.

top series

If you love a dark romance, this series is where to go. I tried to eyeball read and it simply was not working for me. Once I started the audio I simply could not stop!

Love it

I love this audiobook, I already read the book but hearing it is another level

i love this story of old lovers memory lost and how they tangled into the other stories the ending shocked me!! such a good book

i love it all no dislike here i wish there was more how am i going to the last book already😭

Great voice actors and a great story

I am shook, the ending wild. But this audio was great I think the voice actors really captured the characters and gave a stellar performance!

I hate Ramona masters voice so much

Ramona master is such a crappy narrator. Her voice is annoying I suggest not listening to this one

Great Mental Health Rep

When I first read this series a year ago, this was the book I probably would have listed on the bottom of my favorites of the series. But, after this re-read, it just jumped into second place behind 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘌𝘮𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘰𝘳…

Ten years ago, Zephyr fell in love with Alpha, only for him to completely disappear without a trace. She finds him again, only to find that he has no memory of her. So she comes up with a plan to get him to marry her so that they can fall in love all over again. 🖤

I absolutely fell in love with Zephyr this time. She’s sunshine, she’s spunky, she blathers on when she’s nervous, but not everyday is sunshine and rainbows for her. I love the depiction of her down days. It is just so relatable, and it’s great to read about a character who can be so vulnerable, but still keep her heart open.

And our poor, damaged Alpha. He’s dangerous, he’s huge, and when his heart finally starts to crack open for Zee. 🥹

What this book is giving:
✅ Dark Romance
✅ Marriage of Convenience
✅ Second Chance
✅ Amnesia
✅ Mental Health Rep
✅ Zen 🖤
✅ ☀️ + 🌧️ = 🌈
✅ That ending 💔

Book 3 is just as good as the first 2!

This series is amazing. And being able to listen to audio means i don’t have to wait until after work. Love this series!
