Length: 13 hrs and 3 mins

Publisher's summary

On any day our paths would never cross. Then I was forced to go to the Ruthless Disciples. Every month they do something called the hunt. I didn't plan to ever attend an event, but I needed the money. I thought it was nothing more than an adult version of hide-and-seek.

I had no idea how wrong I was. Nor did I know I’d meet my worst nightmare that night: Andrew “Drew” Marshall, popular-as-hell football star and a Greek god among mere mortals. To anyone else, he would appear to be normal, a good guy. But that night I saw the cruel, dark monster hidden underneath. He was the epitome of evil, the leader of the Disciples, and I was his newest obsession.

This is a dark enemies-to-lovers romance with many triggers. It is a complete standalone that contains a happily ever after.

Not a standalone

Great book! This author never disappoints. Ends on a cliffhanger. Can’t wait to read the next one in the series

What a ride

The last 30 mins of this story took my emotions on the wildest ride. Need book 2 like, yesterday.

Great Read

Very interesting characters. It is a dark romance, but its not as intense as some of the other dark romance stories I’ve read, like God of Malice (also awesome read!😃) Story is excellent and I can’t wait for the next book!

She gets real stupid at the end.

I was into it for like 90% of the book, but the last bit was so dumb. Her thoughts and actions are so contradictory that I'm like, you clearly know what's happening, but you're still sticking around and dragging it out. It was super obvious too, so even if her thoughts and actions aligned, she'd still be stupid to not realize what was going on. It's a good book, but the ending just takes a really clever woman and makes her real dumb for drama or plot progression. Did not care for that.

oh wow. that cliffhanger.

I am in love with this book. I knew there was going to be a cliffhanger. But I did not see that end coming. I bought the next book, that was how good she cliffhanger it. this is a most read.

Looking forward to the next book!

I really enjoyed this book. I wish I noticed the 2nd book isn't on Audible yet or I would have waited so I could binge listen to both. I was a little worried I wouldn't like the book at the beginning because Drew sounded like a real tool. A real 80/90s textbook bully, but it got much better in time and I am sure the second book is going to be great. The narrators were fantastic. They're both new to me so I hope I hear more of them moving forward.

Loved the story

It kept me interest but the voices didn’t go with the characters in my opinion

Wow!!!

The narration was good, the women’s voice was a little deep but she acted out the emotions well. And the twist cliffhanger at the end was good I didn’t expect it! I can’t wait for the next book, oh and the smut was great!

The cliffy….

Amazing story that had me sucked in and hanging on to the edge of my chair till the very end…of course it was a giant cliffhanger that immediately has me running to read the second one, and waiting anxiously for the audio. Both narrators did an awesome job and portraying these deep and complex characters.

Great voice actor’s and great storyline

I went back and fourth from reading to listening. Def an unputdownable book and that freaking ending though? 😩 so sad wildflower audio isn’t out yet, so I’ll be binge reading the second book all night tonight!
