Ready or Not: A Dark Romance

Hide and Seek, Book 2

By: Sheridan Anne

Narrated by: Sebastian York, Heather Firth

Her mind birthed the monster, but his wicked obsession set it free.

Just when forensic pathologist Harper-Rayn thought she had put her horrifying stalker behind her, a new threat is born from the depths of her trauma. More sinister and calculated than ever before.

This new stalker is as real as they come. Emerging not as a hallucination, but as a living nightmare, one that's been waiting for her longer than she could have ever known, watching from the shadows and anticipating his chance to strike.

The masked terror brings Harper's past to life, twisting her mind with fear and unease. He manipulates her every move, and as he watches her unravel, he leaves just enough doubt to question her own sanity. Is she going crazy? Losing her mind? And after everything she's already suffered through, who's going to believe her now?

No one… except the one man she should never want.

Her forbidden lover, her delicious step-uncle, Knight Slater.

Determined to unravel this twisted web of secrets, obsession, and betrayal, and put an end to Harper's suffering once and for all, Knight must face the impossible—even if it means sacrificing himself to protect the one woman he's ever loved—the one woman he should never have touched.

As the masked figure closes in, Harper will risk it all—not just her career and reputation, but a love that defies every boundary, to stop a madman who's determined to finish what her nightmares started.

Ready or not, he's coming for you.

Ready or Not is the second book in The Hide and Seek Duet and completes Harper and Knight's story. It is a pitch-black stalker romance recommended for mature listeners. Narrated in duet style.

omg knight

I loved this audible omgg it was amazing both books where hands down good

👍

I love the mix and the chemical relationship between the characters: humor, suspense, and spice, all in one shot.

Loved it

Book 2 did not disappoint. The stalker is back. No one believes her. The narration perfectly played the characters emotions. Sebastian and Heather were perfect at bringing these characters to life!!

Knight & Harper

(((Gasp))) This was a great book! The duet was fantastic and the plot(s) genius! I have so much I want to say, but don’t think I’m capable w/o spoiling. I actually read ahead and then went back to where I was & proceeded bcz I couldn’t handle the suspense. I think this book was better than the first. I cracked up in part of his book and then also got Epstein vibes in other parts - particularly when Knight starts digging and discovers the photos & where they were.

I also loved the side characters, especially Izzy, Diesel, Ace & the lady doc/surgeon. Anyway, a great read & I purchased the audio versions and the narration was done very very well.

WILD ride, green flag hero ❤️

The vibrator incident 😂😂😭😭😭😭
She has the BESTEST friend Izzy - everyone needs an Izzy. That girl is amazing and HAS OUR GIRLS BACK 🙌

Harper does not make the best choices sometimes, and I’m literally yelling into my kindle.

The mom is a piece of WORK. 😩

The narration was PHENOMENAL. Heather Firth literally killed it, her emotion was top notch, and had me tearing up more than once. 10/10 recommend for a WILD ride 🙌
