Nemesis

Sterling Falls Rogues, Book 1

By: S. Massery

Narrated by: Michelle Sparks, Teddy Hamilton, Connor Crais, Aaron Shedlock

A new darkness is seeping into Sterling Falls, and I’ve drawn its ire.

When a masked stranger declares he wants our ruin—mine, my brother’s, the whole town’s—I hope he’s bluffing.

A series of escalating events later, and it’s clear the threat is very present.

It’s not only present, but it drags up old nightmares from my past.

To keep my beloved city safe, I need to find this masked man and eliminate the threat.

I can’t do it on my own, but the three men poised to help are the ones I am almost certain I can’t trust.

Kade Laurent, the elusive and thrilling newcomer, leverages Olympus to get close to me.

Reese Avery, a ghost from my past, brings with him the trauma I’ve tried to bury. But he says he’s here to make amends…

Saint Hart, the partner of my dead best friend, and I will never get along. Especially since I’ve been tasked with keeping him alive. At least, I was convinced we were going to be mortal enemies forever—until we hate-screw in my kitchen…

Now things are all messed up, and I don’t know who I can rely on.

All I want is peace, but with danger climbing around me, it seems I’m destined for the opposite.

Speechless

This book left me speechless and wondering what just happened! I loved the build up of the story line knowing there are two more books to come! Their chemistry with each other and the pull of wanting to hate each other and like each other is real! I can’t wait to see what the next one brings!!!

I love Sterling Falls books!

So I decided to tandem read and listen to this book at the same time. Hearing the character’s voices really added an element for me that I really enjoyed. I’ve been excited about this series since I read the last trilogy and this book did not disappoint. I like a good strong FMC and Artemis is that. Getting past trauma is not easy and there is a lot of of emotions swinging about due to that past drama. I am really excited to start book 2!

Fantastic!

This series and all books before are fantastic! Top notch narrators. That's what I love about this author. She gets the best narrators and it really brings the story to life!

Nemesis

Uuugggghhhhh so much! I hate how involved I was in this world. On to the next....

Part 1

To start, this new series builds off a previous one, Sterling Falls, from S. Massery. While I have not read that series yet, I wasn’t too lost in piecing together what had happened in those books. There is influence, but I feel like I was given enough information to figure it out and let the story of these characters take over.
Moving on - this is dark and has some heavy topics. Do not take that lightly. Artemis is dealing with a lot and I love her for that. Add in complicated relationships with Reese, Kade, and Saint, and she is in for a wholeeee lot. Their story continues in three more books, it's that much! This wasn’t as spicy as I have seen other S. Massery books, so I know that it is just starting up. But I am inexplicably drawn to it all.
