This wasn't my favorite of this author's books. The characters and the whole dominant male thing just felt kind of juvenile to me. It wasn't a *bad* story, it was interesting enough that I finished it, but I don't think I'll continue the series. I think a better narrator could've camouflaged a lot of the flaws in the writing. She has a nice voice, but her cadence and tone felt too monotone and artificial.

Here are 15 words because I apparently can't leave a simple star review without it?

Overall, this story wasn't for me. The writing style is good, and this might be the best voice performance I've heard in *any* audiobook. I love a dark romance, and the steam in this one was excellent, but I think I've managed to find my line for dark. In the first book, the non-consensual nature of the "relationship" between the two MCs made me extremely uneasy, and in the second book, the human trafficking aspect and graphic rape scenes -- while feeling specifically not written to titillate -- added to my overall revulsion. I was not a fan of the way the relationship between the FMC & MMC progressed or where it ended up.

I finished listening to the duology. If I had been reading the ebook, I would've DNF'd it in the first book. (I did read the ebook of the Satan's Affair short, and didn't enjoy the graphic nature of that either, so I should've guessed.) I guess I can kind of see why others might rave about it, but nothing here was the kind of sexy I want in my literary entertainment. Like I said, it's well crafted, and the voice actors specifically are fantastic. It just went too far for me.

I can't just star books I've listened to anymore, so here's some text that I'm sure will be super useful to all the algorithms.

Entertaining series, but meh ending

(Kind of an overall series review)

While the series is a fun listen, the ending we get here left me feeling unsatisfied. The denouement is lackluster, the epilogue just kind of mentioning Hannah's work rather than showing us anything. I'd love if there were going to be another book, showing us how Hannah's dealing with her complex new role, and maybe with a why-choose relationship dynamic instead of the love triangle we currently get. I feel like Morrison really got the shaft. It also felt like the author tended to just cut off sections throughout the series once the characters were fine with the immediate purpose there (ex. after the action at Castle Abernathy, and after the vampire fight, they just kind of end up back home).

After listening to all four books, the narration is good, but as sometimes tend to happen with female narrators performing more "smoky-toned" male characters, Abernathy's "voice" is sometimes hard to hear, often getting muddled by road noise (as I usually listen during my commute), even when I have the volume maxed out.

But still, fun story. Just wish there were more of it.
