The Secrets We Keep

The Secrets We Keep, Book 1

De: Lily Wildhart

Narrado por: Maude Julien, Ryan Haugen, JD Tomlinson, Bradley Ford

I've spent the last two years playing the deadliest game of hide and seek.

My tormentor knows no bounds, and I'm done being his prey. In another new city, I'm hoping this is the place where I finally find peace and those parts of myself I've lost along the way. New name, new hair, new clothes…new me. I'm determined for it to stick this time, desperate for a quiet existence to escape the horrors chasing me. The last thing I expect to find is more of what I'm running from.

Violence. Murder. Manipulation.

Except here, three dangerous men have me in their sights. Instead of wanting to clip my wings and keep me in a gilded cage, they're offering me something I have long forgotten—Freedom.

When trouble comes calling, and nightmares crawl out of shadows... Don't you want the biggest monsters on your side?

The Secrets We Keep is a dark reverse harem romance duet intended for mature listeners.

Female voice is seriously lacking

I really enjoyed the story, enough that I’m planning to get the next book. However, I’ll be downloading it on my kindle instead. The female reader lacks any & ALL emotion. Everything is read in the same monotone voice, regardless of the gender of whichever character she’s reading for. Excitement, fear, anger & even the spicy scenes.. Everything sounded like the characters are bored out of their minds. During a spicy elevator scene, she reads “yes, that!” in a straight up deadpan tone. It totally caught me off guard & I had to rewind it, thinking maybe there was an issue with the recording & maybe it skipped a section & we were in a totally different scene. Nope.
One of the male characters was angry & shouting something & it sounded like he was rolling his eyes at the conversation instead of being really upset.
When she’s voicing the any of the male characters as they try to comfort the MFC, they all sound as if they’re a frustrated parent trying to lecture a small child. I was so irritated throughout the whole book.

YES! YES! YES!

If You’re a fan of dark, spicy, RH - you have found your new book friend! FYI if domestic violence is a trigger for you, SKIP this one. If you decide to jump in, fair warning you will not be able to put it down till the end. It’s that level good. Voice acting is AMAZING! Plot is off the charts. Standing ovation for this book.

Great story, meh narration

It isn’t often that I listen to an audiobook and feel like the story is what shone the most. Narration usually takes books to the next level and I just didn’t feel it with this one. They all have good voices, just not the voices I felt were right for the characters in this book.

Overall Loved IT!

ladies voices were giid but some of the guys voices made it a little hard to imagine the muscular men that should have been portrayed. Cliff hanger ending has me jumping to start the next book.

I loved the story

the story was great. I enjoyed it all. I do think that it would have been much better if it was a duet. If you are triggered by dv, trafficking then skip this one. But I enjoyed it thoroughly

Weak

This book had no flow no explanation. It was rushed and awkward. The characters had no flow and the development was relationships was disjointed suddenly and with no real connection.

BORING the first 7hours are of absolutely nothing

This book had so much potential. The first 7 hours were of absolutely nothing. Honestly, I put it on X2 trying to get to the meat of the story. The steamy parts seem as if they were written by an inexperienced college student. The typical "she's mine" "selfish and possessiveness" nonsense. Defiantly don't spend money on it and don't waste the credit.

Waisted time

This book had the potential to be good but it wasn’t. I found it anti climactic. It drug on, I only finished it because I had to pay for it. I’m not going to finish the series I feel like it will be predictable and lacking.

im back like 15 minutes after leaving my first review

*sigh* it gets worse, FMC just continues to get more stupid and annoying. this book is just pissing me off now, i don't even want to finish it anymore. total unrealistic bullsh*t, even for fiction. could've been SO so SOOO much better
