Midnight Assembly

Golden Masters, Book 1

De: C.S. Solarys

Narrado por: Michelle Sparks, Joe Arden

From author C.S. Solarys comes a dark, slow-burn stalker mafia romance with enemies-to-lovers tension, forced proximity, and a dangerously obsessive, morally black antihero.

I am haunted by the legacy of a madman. My father is a brutal, vicious capo dei capi who’ll do anything for a profit he doesn’t need.

And I want no part of it.

I’ve spent all my life planning my exit, building an empire that will crush his, and everything is finally aligned for my takeover, until the stunning Scarlett Morgana Greene ruins it just by existing.

Loathing her is mercy.

She’s also my best friend’s girl and my current assignment in Aurea Dominorum—The Golden Masters.

My eyes are on her.

Always on her.

Even when I see her tripping and doing things she’ll regret, things no one else should see, I don’t shut the door or tell my friend to take care of his girl.

I press record.

She owes me in blood, and I will collect.

Torre Tall dark and broody ... then you went and got all mushy ... it was so cute! I do wish you stayed more grumpy but that's just me (something is wrong with me 😆)

Scarlett Oh I wanted to like you, I understand the whole secret society was thrust upon you but how many women would want that 😆 🤣 😂 jk

This is the first book of the Golden Masters Series performed in Duet by the great Joe Arden & Michelle Sparks. They did phenomenal portraying this college dark romance.

So ... I loved and hated this book well not the book the fmc. This is so my own fault though I just tend to hate the fmcs and it's quite rare when I do like one. This has no bearing on the great Michelle she's one of my favorite narrators lol. I wanted to strangle the fmc for most of the book lol and kick the mmc for letting her get away with so much. 😆 Man do I sound like a woman hater 😆 I promise I'm not

All in all i really enjoyed the book and to be very honest wanted it more dark ... I think this is more light gray to me. Fast paced, Story line was good, went a little fast at the end but I didn't mind it.

Will definitely keep going in the series!

Hooked and I LOVED it!!!!

I absolutely ate this book up!!! I listened to the audio and Joe Arden and Michelle Sparks put on such stunning performances! The story kept me entertained all the way til the end and I wanted more! It’s definitely dark, so check your triggers. I am super excited for the rest of the series!

Twisty

Joe Arden and Michelle Sparks narrating takes to a whole nother level. Because let's face it nobody can do unhinged male characters like Joe. Can't wait for the series to continue especially being narrated by Bluenose.

Dark and fun!

Torre has one job…to help Scarlett fall in love with Ry and survive her upcoming trials. Scarlett instantly hates him, but little do they both realize that they will be falling in love with each other. This slow burn is dark, twisty and zesty!

Great characters! Excellent storyline! I wish the author had delved more into the individual character stories! Otherwise it was amazing! Lots of spice and mafia-style darkness!

The audio actors were amazing! They made this book even more fun!

Tropes:
👿 Enemies to lovers
