Good world building but a long slow slog.

Twenty one hours is TOO long to introduce us to the characters and get to the central conflict of the plot. It was repetitive to the point of annoyance and I was bored waiting for something to happen.
As much as I love first person perspective - and in this book it worked well for the male characters - the female character’s omniscient, totally knowledgeable perspective contradicted the portrayed innocence of the actual female. She would have completely cogent arguments and conversations with herself, filled with insightful thought out opinions, and then answer every question with a stuttering “what?” It was tedious and didn’t mesh with the backstory. Not consistent at all.

Beautifully written, exquisitely performed. This is a dark world of broken sensual people. The sexual tension is felt through your whole body. The story is totally engrossing and you wait impatiently for the secrets to fall.

These books started out great. The first two were vibrant, exciting, and the characters developed exponentially throughout. Then book three… so much repetition! So redundant. So agonizing to slog through. So boring. The five MCs were built up as the most powerful and yet they are constantly overpowered for hours in the audiobook.
Nowhere in the first two books is Isadore self recriminating and simpering and annoying, yet here, that’s all she is. And they forgot the powers they had at critical times! It was so frustrating and not a good end to an enjoyable start.

What a great start! I was sad for it to end. This a well written, sharp, thrilling story with a great female character. FINALLY a FMC who actually able to defend herself!

Great start to another series written by one of my favorite authors! Stunich never disappoints.

This is a great beginning to story in a genre I love, however it veered into a stupid tropism I hate - people in the “elite security” realm not securing the people in their care. Puleessee! There are so many more scenarios that villains can capture mates than “no security at all”! I could capture someone in the setup described here!
I have already purchased the second book so I’ll continue this series - and I think it’s REALLY one book divided into two - but I’m already angry at the author’s manipulation of the story and the lack of heat in the writing.
I chose this book because of reviews and I’m terribly disappointed and unimpressed. It certainly doesn’t deliver what the genre promises.

I cannot stand AI audio! There is an art to read a book that is totally lost on a computer. The misreading is off the charts!

I really liked the story but the AI narrator was hard to listen to. I don’t think I’ll listen to another.
