I honestly don’t know if I would have kept going if I’d tried only visually reading the book. The humor in this is brought out so much more (and better) in Joel Leslie’s delivery of the lines than I think in the actual written word. It’s all in the delivery.
The two main characters, Felix and Lane, have the sort of “I hate that I kind of like you” attitude in the beginning with one another and Leslie not only pulls off their banter beautifully, but made me believe these two snarky lovers were perfect for each other.
Notice I don’t say they’re perfect. They aren’t. They’re a**h*les that are individually so far from perfect they couldn’t find it on a map, but together they make sense. I can see those two crazy kids really making a go of it, if Felix doesn’t get them both killed with his shenanigans.
I loved listening to this and will absolutely be checking out book 2, A Light in the Darkness, pronto.
Though Lane does have a POV chapter, Hidden in Darkness is mostly told from Felix’s POV. There’s plenty of action, humor, heat, and a HFN ending. Definitely check it out in audio for the best experience.
