The Wasteland

Their Champion, Book 1

By: K. A. Knight

Narrated by: Hollie Jackson

The world ended, and with it, so did the rules.

I was stolen from my family and raised in the wastelands to the north. I did what I had to ensure my survival. I became the Champion, with my history carved into my skin for all to see.

Now, I spend my days drinking and hiding from my past, until four newcomers offer me a job I can't refuse. When my past and future mix, I must once again rise and fight. This time it's not for my freedom, it's for my happiness.

Contains mature themes.

Soo good!

I absorbed this greedily every single chance I could. Sex, Violence, wonderful word building! I am a Knight fan, so I am not surprised, but satisfied, even tho there's a cliffy and I am on to book 2. still not a waste of credit!!

loved it

what another great book by K A Knight! I love this author and her reverse harems! So glad I decided to try her! WOW what a great audio!

The never giving in to circumstances life puts you in rise above it!

It has action, revenge, love, sadness, and hope. I have laughed, cried, and just felt the overwhelming feeling from this entire series. Join in on the emotional journey with me all.

Love Hollie’s rendition of The Wasteland

Really enjoyed this audiobook! I had already fallen in love with these characters but it had been awhile since I had read this particular book and the audiobook does it so much justice. Let me first start off with the story. KA Knight makes you fall for Worth and her rough edges. We get to see her walls peel back a bit to let in her 4, maybe 5 lovers. She is so BA and totally owns everything she does (except when it comes to expressing her feelings hahaha). I loved her relationship with the guys and the side characters. I loved how she ended things with Major in this one (and what he did for the slave woman), on the fence about Dray when just looking at this particular book, not the series. Also her relationship with the older lady at the inn. She was amazeballs and hilarious. Now to her guys....SO MUCH SWOONING!!! I think Jax and Maxen are my favs, but Thorn and Drax are a close 2nd. I love the different dynamics and how each guy is still BA and no one is meek. They are all warriors, can kill someone easily, but are so perfect for Worth. Some are gentle, some allow her to take control, while others take control away from her. Perfect system ❤️ The cliffy at the end caused a little bit of heartache but thank goodness books 2 and 3 are out now too!

For the narration, Hollie does a phenomenal job. I was kinda taken aback in the beginning but she reined in some of the accents that were consistent and made it a great rendition. I think sometimes when the guys are excited/scared/etc. her voice wavers a bit because its hard to keep the accent at that point. Those are the only reasons I didnt give her a 5 star. It was more like a 4.5 star to be honest. She was already on my radar of narrators and this cemented her on my list of acceptable and go-to narrators. Great job, already listening to book 2 because I couldn’t just stop at 1 hahaha.

Definitely recommend this series and the books on audio ❤️

Perfectly created

Some people say the narrator was bad but I loved her! The story is violent, bloody full of sex and murder....Its fantastic! Well written and evenly paced, it's a series I will listen to again and again and I dont say that about many. If you are at all squeamish though steer clear.

Dark and disturbing

If you are into very dark reverse harem romances, this book is a must read. Or must listen, in my case. The narrator for this audiobook was great and drew me into the story, once I got over how distracting her accent was because it didn’t fit with the main character in my mind.

This is different from any reverse harem I have ever read because the main character is so emotionally detached. I like her and think she is a bad ass, and I look forward to the next book.

Just be warned, there is a lot of violence. I mean a lot. It’s graphic, bloody, and gory. So if you’re not into that, I recommend you pick a different book.

Such a strong, smart heroine!!

That was one of the best female lead characters ever! I can’t wait for more. I can not wait for the rest of the series on audio. Hollie Jackson did a fantastic job. Please continue to record the series!

Wonderfully brutal!

Where to start with Wasteland...hmm. This first book of the Their Champion series was amazing! It's my second book by K.a Knight (the first being Rage) and I'm so glad I discovered this fantastic author. There was the perfect amount of action, tenderness, and edge of your seat suspense. And the sexy times were 🔥🔥🔥! I was not expecting that ending and I'll be immediately buying the next one to see how things progress. I normally don't read post-apocalyptic books but this one drew me in. I wasn't sure I even liked Worth at first, but by the end I wanted to BE Worth. The men are absolutely drool worthy. And the icing on this hot and intriguing cake is Hollie Jackson's narrating. I wasn't crazy about Worth's accent at first but after a few chapters, it seemed perfectly natural and fitting for who Worth is. There's a reason she's one of my all time favorite narrators! I highly recommend this one, and I'm so hoping the last book of the series will become available soon. I'm sure I'll be dying at the end of book two, as well!
Tw - multiple mentions of rape, references to torture, and child deaths (not witnessed, just talked about, but could be disturbing for some readers...it's a dark and brutal world K.a.Knight has shown us)

Love it

Never disappointed. I Love K.A. Knight always a home run storyteller. A must listen to series

BEST SERIES HANDS DOWN - FOR ONCE A STRONG FL

This book is on par with TA White, as another reviewer mentioned the pacing is a bit rushed in the second half of this book without truly devoting time to each ML but frankly given it's a 4 part series it all ends up coming together beautifully. well written, good characters who are all strong and capable, just freaking fantastic start to finish. would highly recommend to anyone sick of the old traditional romance tropes
