Dark Alchemy: Catch 22

By: I. T. Lucas

Narrated by: Charles Lawrence

She was captured and enslaved. He was freed only to be conscripted. Both are trapped.

On an inescapable island, Dimitri struggles to break free from the compulsion enslaving his mind, even as the drugs he is forced to create for the enhanced ones tighten his invisible chains. Mattie hunts for any means of escape, collecting secrets and searching for cracks that don't exist. The bond growing between them is a risk neither can afford, and neither can resist.

Meanwhile, across the globe, Annani faces an impossible bargain that demands the unthinkable.

Welcome to Catch-22.

Outstanding

This series just gets better and better. I anxiously await book 106! Thank goodness I only have to wait until Saturday!!

Fantastic

Ms. Lucas does it again! Captivating but I noticed that each book installment is getting shorter. Previously an average of 50 chapters and now down to 38. The books are too short. I truly enjoy this series but I am now looking for a series that offers more reading and/or listening time.

I’m as hooked now as I was at book 1

This never gets old, repetitive, and somehow she never runs out of a storyline. The original characters are still active and engaged in a part of the story, while new people come in all the time, and spice and excitement in trouble, and trauma, all of which it’s taken care of. There’s no perfect character, but there are amazing ones and they are all in these stories.

9 hrs of congested headcold narration

Charles Lawrence should take the month off when he's that heavily congested. Painful to listen to
