Asymmetry: A Fate of the Fallen Standalone

By: R. Phoenix

Narrated by: Kenneth Obi

One fledgling vampire. One nearly powerless witch. Two underdogs in society. Will a chance encounter between two should-be enemies lead to anything but violence?

Until three weeks ago, Dorian was a human - one of those subjugated by the supernatural beings who now rule the world. He spent 10 years struggling to survive, but now that he's been turned, he needs to learn how to live. Problem is, there's a lot to learn but not much time to learn it in. Loneliness is far from the only problem, but it seems to be the most pressing.

Supernatural or not, Emery doesn't have a fancy family name to back up his standing in society. The most memorable thing about him is his red hair, not his magic, and he's had to throw in with those whose price for protection isn't low. Even though he'd never admit he's lonely, he's fascinated enough by his run-in with a brand-new vampire to not dismiss him despite the tensions between their races.

Can they cure their loneliness with one another, or will society prevent them from doing anything but wonder what might have been?

Asymmetry, Spoiled* and Anticipation*, the Need Trilogy, the Tamed & Trained Trilogy**, the Fate of the Fallen series, and Gifts can all be read separately from each other. Though they are all set in the same universe and there is occasional crossover, the timeline is ambiguous, and there are minimal spoilers across the books.

A sweet story in a dark world

I listened to this one in one day,the sweetness to it was a pleasant surprise and I hope to hear more from them. I love the world the author built for this series.

Love It!

This is such a sweet story and to have Kenneth Obi narration just makes in even better. Dorian and Emery shouldn't work but are just amazing together. I love every thing about this book. Having R. Phoenix and Kenneth Obi together just makes an amazing listen.

cute and quirky

It's difficult to do much with a novella that runs just over an hour, but this is entertaining and doesn't feel rushed. It was a fun and quirky story between a baby vampire and his dinner and I can see myself picking it up again when i'm looking for something short.

Kenneth Obi is a great narrator and has done an excellent job with these guys.

A cute story, in a dark world ~

This short story was really cute and sweet, something you don't usually see in this kind of dark world. Dorian is a "baby" vampire, who still know nothing about the supernatural world and about hunting his "meals". This is how he met Emery, a weak witch, he mistake for a human. They aren't really a couple, because we see only the beginning of their "relationship", but I think with time they would make a cute pairing. Dorian is really sweet and Emery is a little odd so exploring their dynamic as a couple would be really cool~

oooo

so... we switched narrators and i did like the last one but this one did even better imo... i love this narrator.. he always hits everything on the head.. their emotions.. their darkness.. the tiny bit of light that might exist in some of them still... it was wonderful

A witch and a vampire

This is a stand alone story in the authors Fate of the Fallen universe. Dorian is a new vampire, fumbling his way towards trying to survive. Emery is a witch without a lot of power. This is an unlikely friendship in this world, but they are drawn together. Its a short sweet hot story. And narration is terrific. Recommend

Very sweet boy meets boy story

This was such a well written novella, a unique take on boy meets boy from the wrong side of town story. Both Dorian and Emery are young and full of longing for something other than mere survival. I have read all the stories set in the Fate of the Fallen world and Asymmetry shows a different, a kinder and sweeter side of this dark and cruel world. The narration was very good and fit the story perfectly. I recommend this audiobook to readers who enjoy paranormal romance and like a great story.

Another wonderful story

This one was sweeter than the others but the tension was still there. The beautiful writing and the way the narrator captured it perfectly. I was captivated.

Asymmetry

A Fate of the Fallen Novella - And a total tease for us in the form of a short book. I NEED MORE.. *grabby hands*

This book was really adorably, cute, even though I’m not quite sure anyone else will see it that way…
I just really loved these characters so much. I found myself smiling at all of their interactions. In a world where they are really supposed to be enemies at the least, and fully hate each other at the most, how do a Witch and a Vampire form such and instant connection and bond like they do. They are both such cute characters, I could read more of their story for hours on end and not get sick of either of them.

Dorian, is a newly made Vampire trying to figure out his place in his new life, while trying not to eat everyone in sight. Emery the (Kind-of) Witch with very limited powers doesn’t know why he is so intrigued and drawn to Dorian after their first encounter. But he ends up following Dorian to see why they have the instant connection they do. Gawwwdd... This book was great. Seriously, everyone should read it. And while you’re at it… Get it in Audio too.

Audio – Kenneth did a great job making me fall in love with these characters even more than I already did. He totally gave us the perfect narration and voices to make these characters and their personality traits come across completely in this narration. I loved every minute of this one, and could listen to it over and over again.

Sweet but sexy

This story was a lot sweeter than some of Pheonix's other stuff in the Fate of the Falken but no less enjoyable! I really liked the sweet coupling of a witch and a vampire, two that are supposed to be enemies but click all the same. And you get to hear a little more about the world came to be with the supernatural taking over in the beginning.
