This is the first book I’ve read/listened to by J.L. Beck and C. Hallman. It is DARK. Possibly the darkest I’ve read/listened to so far. My heart broke for Aspen. I cried for her. I cannot get over what I’ve just heard. Quinton has a L-O-N-G way to go to earn my trust? Respect? Heart? Can I get over this beginning to get there? He did waver about how he and the others treated Aspen, somewhat. But let’s face it. He raped Aspen. Because this is fantasy, I’ll put it in a little box and set it aside for now. The rest of the storyline has me intrigued. I’m dying for answers. And that cliffhanger!!! It was brutal. The wait for the next audiobooks is painful. Trying to decide if I want to go read them first!
I want to add that at first, I almost turned the audiobook off thinking I was about to listen to a copycat story. I was grumbling in my head that I couldn’t believe how close this was to another series I’ve read. But it’s NOT. Not really. It became all it’s own shorty after it started. Glad I stuck with it.
Conner Brown and Zara Eden are excellent narrators. They were perfect for this book. Their performances made this audiobook roll like a movie in my head. So easy to listen to for longer periods of time!!
