Oh my gosh!! Yes!!

I love this series!!! It's my favorite shifter series. I recommend it every chance I get. When I got the email that this book was on audio, I screamed and got it right away! I love Alaric. He's my favorite MC through the entire series! He's absolutely perfect. And Phoebe is amazing. I love their story, and having it brought to life was just what I needed. I've never listened to these narrators before. Both did an excellent job. I'll look for more from them. As with any new narrator, it takes me a few minutes to get used to them. By the end of chapter 1, I know I'd never be able to listen to anyone else be Alaric and Phoebe. Thank you, Vic and Kate, for being our Alaric and Phoebe. Vic, I think, has his own distinct voice, which is perfect. Kate actually gave me Ava Erickson vibes. I love Ava. I hope these two narrate the rest of the series.

loved it

I'm not normally an audio book listener, but this is so beautifully narrated and the story is really good as well.

Loved the narration of this story

I read this book years ago and was fortunate to listen to the audible version. It was fantastic! The two narrators were amazing and really brought this story to life. I hope the author has plans to have her entire series on Audible in the near future! AAAA++++

An Enticing Listen

This was an interesting story with very likeable characters. The exploration of feelings surrounding an abusive relationship was very well done and authentic.

There were several times that I wish the author had dug deeper into the story. A few parts felt a little rushed, opportunities I felt were missed, but then I think that about most books, TV shows, and movies. 🤣

As for the narrators, they were a fantastic duet with wonderful voices! My only complaint is I wanted a little more vitriol from Tanner's dialogue and a bit more heartbreak from Alaric in that one pivotal moment, but overall both narrators were wonderful to listen to! Bravo 👏 👏 👏

So good!

I definitely thought this was going to be your typical supernatural romance book, but I was wrong. There were constant surprises throughout the whole book. Vic’s voice is so soothing and I could listen to him read me the phone book. Kate does an amazing job conveying all the emotions throughout the book. Vic and Kate Fraser are 2 of my top favorite narrators. I could listen to their voices all day every day.
