This seems to have been written by a bitter incel. I'm bi and I'm down with learning to better seduce women and all, but from the gate, the writer seems to have a particular hatred for women. Unfairness, anger, wah! absolutely nothing he is saying about what women like has been true. I've in fact "red flagged" men behaving this way. It's not seduction, it's entitlement coupled with rage and misogyny. I'm upset I paid for this and didn't learn anything anything about actual seduction.

If you want a feel-good, fun, easy-to-listen-to romance, this is the one. The characters are fun, there's magic, sex positivity, and romance is celebrated among lovers of an advanced age. The only negative I have for it is the way the women's voices are presented by the male narrator. It isn't quite right and needs some direction. Otherwise, Xmas shenanigans for holiday readers.

Secret passages, poison, daggers, fires, rebelions, double crossings, and heaps of brutality are the back drop for an anachronisistic story of obsessive love. Beautifully written from two characters' points of view, the narration highlights this feature, making the story jump top life. Bonus: Don't miss the allusions to Hamlet/Lion King.

I love the protagonist, Ebony. Her whole family is so precious and I am happy to hear more of her origin story. The challenges she faces, the highs, the lows, and the depravity she deals with... it's with such grace too.

The voice actor does a great job communicating the necessary grace required to calmly formulate responses while under extreme stress. She does an excellent job of demonstrating the strength of family and their bond. The characters are wonderfully fleshed out by her voice.

I think the first book is the best, but I think that's allowable -- it's really fantastic.

Thought provoking. Interesting use of data derived from science. Makes me want to dig into the research myself to see what's there.

The story has me on pins and needles as I empathized with the protagonist and her growing conflict. I felt her emotions and felt charged to DO SOMETHING for her! So I kept listening. In some ways, if not the most important way, I identify with Ebony and her need and dedication to collect evidence and protect herself and her career. What a story of an every-day American hero making the world better for those to come.

It's also a reminder that we don't always know the adversity a person is facing and being an advocate and ally means listening and believing then doing.

I enjoyed this immensely. Gracie reminded me of myself in some ways and I got a lot from her self talk. The plot was sweet, at times anxiety-inducing, and ultimately very satisfying. I love the flawed, multi-dimensional characters, the very real mix of complicated feelings and difficult decisions, and the times when characters say and do things they later regret because they just read each other wrong. So much like life. Excellent performance by the narrator, too.
