good story

as usual I love the stories that Dante King puts out. but I do have one issue with this book in particular. at the beginning he calls his truck a dodge charger numerous times and it gets confusing. is it a truck or a sports car that mat drives?

Interesting and Not Expected

I wasn’t sure what I expected, though with the female on the cover I had expected an FMC. Nope. MMC. But it was interesting in that it was very heavy progression with a lot of “WTF if happening, I don’t know but Run!” And some figure it out in the way. Though the setup for a potential Harem was a nice twist. Overall, the narrator made it worth the read and I think I would have lost interest if it wasn’t for that. They made it engaging.

It's decent

I'm a fan of Dante's books, and while this new series had a decent start, I'm not sure if I'll stick with it. The TCG aspect of the story was what put me off the most, I thought I would enjoy it a lot more than I actually did.

Wonderful start slightly pulled down by graphic details.

Firstly, well done on the performance. Whenever there are more than one reader, especially when you have a male and female voices, a decent performance is expected and that is delivered here.
Second, the overall "magic system" is intriguing and an interesting enough to keep the attention. I found it to be entertaining and like to see more development of it in further books.
Lastly, why do I rate the story 4 stars instead of a full 5. We'll it's the graphic sex scenes. When you have a story and world that is as interesting as this you do not need to bring it down with blow by blow descriptions of sexual acts. Now the reason I gave this book an overall score of 5 is because there was only a few scenes and they only took up the last parts of their respective chapter.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book and will be getting the second one in the series.

I promise it's not just sex.

For this genre it's pretty tame on that front. There is a couple good chunks of action in this soup. Performances by Lewis and Rozalyn are top notch. I hope the surgery does some more work fleshing out this underground world of card murder.
