I literally have no words. This book pulls you all over the place and is so unlike any of Julie's other books. I'm confused, I have so many questions, but I'm also EXTREMELY invested in what happens! I'm glad we don't have to wait to long for book 3 though! I couldn't go another 2 years without answers lol. If you haven't already, reread book 1 before jumping in. There's so much info in both books. I'm glad I went back before starting this one. If you're a huge Huss fan, like myself, you will probably like this. It went in a totally different direction than I thought it would, but also a lot of ways it did. lol Too hard go explain, just listen.. like now!

I love everything about this book! The story, the plot, the narration. It takes all the traditional lore of Vampires and throws it out. She has written a completely original vampire story. It's refreshing. I can't wait to dive into book 2! This is my second listen as a refresh for book 2. so glad I listened again. There was so much that I forgot about. Give it a listen. it has everything and the spice is perfection as always!

These narrators are amazing! I had never listened to a book with either of them, so I was hesitant. but they absolutely killed it! This book was so spicy, but had a great story line. Step-brother alpha wolves going after their step sister that happens to be their fated mate. She has a very rough upbringing with a dad who was trying to sell her first heat. But these brothers are determined to keep her safe. They have lots of ups and downs, but get their HEA. Give it a read, it's a stand-alone so NO cliffhanger!

Stella Hunter is my favorite female narrator, her and Vanessa Moyen are usually an auto buy for me. Her performance was spectacular as always, Tor Tom however... not so much. His regular voice is fine, but voicing the female and other accents just pulls you right out of the story. This book may be better to actually read instead of listen.
Also it has some bestiality of a sort.. it's her mates, but in their animal form while she's in Vampyr form. That was a bit much for me and I usually like the smutty books. But that wasn't hot... just weird and gross lol. If you can look past that and it's free, then give it a go, but be warned it's like 70% smut, 30% story. The actual story line was very good. But it was made too long from all the unnecessary smut.. so listen at your own risk lol

I wish I hadn't waited! it's funny, a bit dark, some great plot twists and a hea... I shouldn't have expected any less from Joe and Maxine! They always narrate the best books. First book by Max Monroe and ill definitely be reading more by them! Highly recommend.. will definitely re-read later. binged it in a day! Listen now, if you love Joe and Maxine as a team, you won't regret it!

A "shifter" romance, where they NEVER shift!!

So this is supposed to be a paranormal romance, but it's really not. The whole world everyone is an Alpha, Beta or Omega, but they never shift.. Not once in 14 hours. The FMC is weak and whiney. It's mostly smut, which i normally don't mind.. but it's just her begging for their knot. I'm Glad it was a free book, I won't finish the series. It took 2 weeks to finish a book that I'd normally finish in 2-3 days. It's basically a contemporary romance with no twists or anything that keeps you engaged. I don't normally leave bad reviews. But I wanted to warn you not to waste a credit. if it's free still and you're bored and want some basic smut, give it a shot. Narrators did ok. I love Aiden Snow, he's why I finished it. The female narrators did ok, just overly dramatic and Breathy on the spicy scenes.

Pretty good story with lots of spice and great narration, but the FMC is pretty whiney and comes across weal and desperate a lot of the story. when both characters get their head out of their butt's the story gets better. overall a good read. spice is 4/5

Narrators ate top notch and the reason I bought the book. the story is pretty good, lots of twists, when I thought I had it figured it would twist another way. I binged it in about 4 days. has a nice HEA, but it's very dark in the middle. If you can't handle violent but consensual sex acts or mention of sexual trauma, then I'd steer clear. Narration is 5 stars, story is 4 stars because it's drawn out and a lot of repetition, spice is 3 1/2 stars. some graphic scenes but it's not the whole book. Also it's military based and deals with PTSD a lot.

The overall story was pretty good, I love Troy Duran, but his parts are few and far between. It took me like 3 1/2 weeks to get through this, I'd normally finish a series like this in under a week. I'm not sure if it was the way it was written or the females pronunciation, but words that are always abbreviated, she uses the full words and it kind or pulled me out of the story each time. like instead of saying "it's ok" she would say "it is ok" but with a pause between each word. if it was a descriptive part, she narrates beautifully. but if it's a quoting part, it's almost robotic. But really thats my only complaint. spice is decent, the story is good, I may have enjoyed it more if I just read the actual book.
