5 Blue Roses
4 Blue Flames
A fantastical conclusion of one of the best LGBT dark paranormal fantasy.
KA Merikan knows how to write dark fiction. I love these authors. I listened to all their audiobooks available on audible. Not one of the books was a disappointment. Listening to this series was one hell of an emotional ride. The characters and the worldbuilding is absolutely colourful and dark at once. The balance between good and evil is solid, but the lines soon get blurred. I was emotionally invested with all the characters, since book 1 until book 5. I am truly able to re-listen to them in a year or so.
Book 5 is all about Laurent and his husband Beast. Beast is the Kings of Hell MC president. I don’t want to give too much away and spoil the nerve wrecking adventures of the Kings of Hell while they try everything in their power to stop Baal from breaking through the crust of the earth. We get to know Magpie on a more personal level. He gives Laurent and Beast an egg which is the center from which the plot sprang to life.
I frustrated by Laurent and almost hated him for treating Beast badly and for being selfish with his own needs. They have lots of drama while the world is literally coming to an end. Their love for each other survives the test and they realize they are stronger together and to trust each other.
I loved the whole series’ book covers. Its original and fits the characters and world inside.
I did not have to listen to the audio sample, because I know Joel Leslie and I knew the book will be great because I have listened to the previous 4.
Narrator: Joels’ performance was excellent! The action and all the emotions sucked me in and I felt a connection. It was FUNNY, HAPPY, SAD, EMOTIONAL, CONFUSING, IRRITATING, ANXIOUS and of course very sexy.
I recommend this book to anyone who likes dark, sexy, paranormal, motorcycle criminals with almost good hearts.
Happy Listening
