Bones

The Dark Kingdom, Book 5

BONES
I got my name from breaking the bones of a kid who picked on my younger brother, but that’s only where it started. My black heart craves violence, and being a King gives me plenty of opportunities.

When a friend comes to me for help because someone he loves is in danger, I’m happy to do so. After all, my friends are few, and they are my family.

Once I have her, I do what I have to in order to protect her. She thinks she’s in hell, but this is child’s play compared to what she would have faced.

She’s an innocent through and through and completely off-limits. But that’s not enough to stop me from doing what I do best—taking what’s mine.

MIA
I was born into a deadly Mafia family, yet I’m a nobody. To the world, I don’t exist.

Shuffled from Vegas as a child and sent to Italy for my protection, I became invisible. Until they found a use for me. Now I’m a card my father can play. A chance to cash in on the family name to the highest bidder.

Taken from my home, I’m sold to a King. His hard blue eyes take no prisoners. He’s just another pretty face to hide the evil and in no way my savior.

Now I know what hell looks like because I’m living it. But just when I think I can finally be free, it all comes crashing down, and the King I thought would end me is the only one who can save me.

All I wanted was to be somebody, but now I wish I’d stayed the nobody.

Bones is the fifth book in The Dark Kingdom Series and can be listened to as a standalone. Due to mature content and themes, this audiobook is recommended for listeners aged eighteen and over. This novel may contain triggers.

BONES🤤🤤

Ugh this series had me in a CHOKEHOLD!! Having to wait to find out bones story til the last book was so freaking worth it!! 10/10 love this series

The male narrator?? YUM!

Oh gosh. Note I’m not sure which book is my favorite. Cross or Bones! I think Bones has now taken first place. I love how his character really developed here. He’s always been domineering. But here he also shows a softer side I think. And Grave and April’s storyline continues. And Mia! I’m just love her. She’s been so sheltered but is trying so hard to become her own person. I just loved this book. I’m also kind of sad the series is over. What about Nite? I totally see him with Jasmin in the future. Lol

Griping Story with Fantastic Narration

Shantel Tessier at her very best. Absolutely loved the duet performance of the narrators. Bravo!

My favorite of the series!

This book actually contained a good plot, a little suspense, and the spice was 🌶️🌶️🌶️. I agree with some that this narrator probably would have been better for Titan, but I still think he did a really good job, as did the female narrator. I loved both characters. Still wish it had been a little longer though. But definitely worth listening to.

Once you start you won’t be able to stop!

I couldn’t wait for these!!!! I have listened to ALL of them in a week so obsessed I’m gunna listen to all of them again.
