Reject Me

Immortal Vices and Virtues, Book 1

By: Kel Carpenter, Aurelia Jane

Narrated by: Teddy Hamilton, Michelle Sparks

"Markus Del Reyes, I reject you." He left me no choice.

I refuse to spend the rest of my life with my childhood bully for a mate. I may be a cursed shifter, incapable of shifting—but I wasn't desperate. Not till the Alpha Supreme cast me out of the House of Fire and Fluorite for rejecting his son.

Now I'm packless. Homeless. No longer under the protection of a House. Until the dark vampire king of Blood and Beryl turns his sights on me.

In return for protection from my former House, I have to become his fake mate. I'll be a queen and a fraud. It's a treacherous lie to live—and I find myself forgetting what's real and what's not with every stolen touch and heated kiss we share.

What starts as a business arrangement turns complicated when my heat hits, and the king insists on being the one to help me through it.

I've lost everything for doing what I know is right, but the greatest danger I ever faced was never losing my life . . . it was opening my cursed heart.

Contains mature themes.

Danni & Elias - PERFECTION!

I didn’t expect Reject Me - Immortal Vices and Virtues to be as good as it was! The story follows Dannka aka Danni, who starts off as a seemingly simple character but evolves into a fierce, elegant, and powerful lead. Her transformation is captivating, making her a standout FMC. Born on a cursed moon but blessed with her powerful wolf Nova.

Elias, a king in his own right, exudes strength, but it’s his emotional journey that truly stands out—he falls first and falls hard, desperately trying to resist the bond. Once Danni and Elias finally come together, they are an unstoppable force, and their love is nothing short of euphoric.

Teddy Hamilton and Michelle Sparks elevate the audiobook experience with their narration. Their range of voices captures each character's essence, while the pacing builds suspense. Every emotion, twist, and revelation is delivered with such precision that you can't help but be pulled deeper into the story. Bookmark chapter 26,28 and 30 - I cannot preach these enough!!!! 💋💋💋

If you're a shifter fan of powerful characters, thrilling romance and incredible spice - this book is a must-listen for you!

loved it

the whole story I loved it. I don't know where to begin. the twist and turns brilliant

Audio was fantastic!

I had started this series out of order so I decided I would redo it from the beginning so I could try and understand these different factions better haha. I will say this one and Worship Me, featuring one of the awesome side characters in this book have been my favorites so far!

I enjoyed this concept and liked the characters a lot. Dannika was great and her sister was hilarious haha. Elias really grew on me, I did roll my eyes with some stuff but I never wanted to shake him silly like some of the other guys in this shared universe haha. I thought we got some nice glimpses into the shifter part of the story, but it wasnt the overarching storyline. Dani is a beast, even if her wolf is different than every other wolf shifter. At the end....oh em gee hahaha. I won’t give it away but great job by the authors with that haha. I loved seeing the awkwardness fizzles out, seeing the two think about making things real, allowing their feelings to overtake them. I was annoyed with the miscommunication but I understand why they did that, couldn’t be an easy romance now could it haha. I thought there could have been some more on the page steam but it seems like all the authors were limited to theirs in this one. Maybe to make it more plot focused? But that is why I would give it a 4.5 stars instead of 5 because there were scenes that could have been on the page but was chosen not to.

The bigger plot, with Dani, Marcus, and his horrible father was done well. It was predictable about the confrontation but I liked some of the unforeseen little twists in this one. I liked seeing Elias step up, he was definitely a swoonworthy mate for her. I enjoyed some of the side characters in his world/faction, waiting to see if we get to know any of them in future books haha. I felt for Marcus and was annoyed with his persistence but I was happy to see him finally get his head out of his you know what. I know what happens to him but won’t say anything for those who havent read all these stories yet!

Overall good book, I enjoyed the narrators a lot. I have listened to the female narrator a bunch and she always does a great job. I have listened to the male narrator a couple times and really have no feedback for either of them, which is huge for me haha. I thought they both did a great job channeling their different characters, bringing out their emotion and making scenes believable, despite everything going on. I laughed, cringed, yelled, whooped for joy, and rolled my eyes and they helped with their performance making the rollercoaster of emotions come out! 5/5 for the narration, making me round up for the overall audiobook ❤️

Enjoyable PNR

I liked this story because it was easy to follow and there wasn’t any crazy world building like some PNR or Fantasy’s can have. I really loved the fierceness of not only the FMC but the other female characters. They were all strong willed and did cower to the Alpha dominant males. Great start to a series that will no doubt keep building up the next story. Michelle and Teddy were fabulous as always. This is a dual narration story and these 2 are great with opposite sex voices.

Great read

I think the ending could have been longer. Felt rushed with fight. I liked the surprise during the fight

Very good!

So much better than I had expected it to be! These authors are both new to me, so I was skeptical because books in this genre are either garbage or gold, rarely in the middle lol But these narrators are two of my absolute favorites so I figured it couldn't hurt to give it a try .... but WOW, I was hooked right from the beginning! I listened to the book in 1 day and in the end my only complaint is that the next book won't be available for a few weeks 🙃

Loved Female Lead Rejecting Mate!

Loved both narrators, they did an amazing job for each characters. I loved how the FMC rejected her mate after she gathered herself. The way things played out leading to her being banished as well as her ex mate. The MMC decides to put her under his protection under a condition that should be beneficial to both parties. The FMC held strong on her rejection to her ex mate as he still hadn’t accepted the rejection. Can’t wait for the next story.

DEVOURED!!!

You can not tell me I waited too long, kept this on my TBR, and just NOW realized how AMAZING this book was?! I finished this in one day! Seriously! It felt realistic, loved the strong AF female and the ever persistent vampire duo!!! It was sweet, “realistic” and I want more!!

No virtual voice . Thanks

This is actually a very good book. Very detailed the voices were wonderful. The story was great and I will put this in my library and listen to it again

A new way for Shifting!

The heroine was a strong female figure!
The love story was beautiful and was a forever one!
