Ruin

The Beast King Brides, Book 2

By: Charlene Hartnady

Narrated by: Tristan James, Meg Price

What happens when destiny gets it wrong?

I’m a fae beast king. It’s preordained that I have to take a mate, and it can’t be just anyone. The universe will decide on my behalf. All I know is that my fated mate will be an enchantress of great power and that when the universe chooses her for me…I must obey. To fight the calling will mean my demise. I have come to trust the process. The Great Unknown would never steer me wrong.

Then I find her: Gabriella is everything I thought she would be and more. Beautiful beyond compare, terrifying, all-powerful… Unfortunately, she’s also tainted by great evil. Her father put his dark magic into her, turning her into something twisted and wicked.

I embark on a mission with her twin sister, Fallon. Together, we’re going to save Gabriella. We’ll find a way to bring her back. We have to!

Then I do something really stupid…I fall for the wrong sister. It happens without me even realizing it. The problem is that Fallon and I can never be together. Gabriella is my destiny. Apparently, the universe is an asshole!

Ruin is the second book in a series about monsters of all kinds. If you enjoy fated mates, forbidden romance, sassy heroines, and swoon-worthy beast kings who are almost untamable, then this is the series for you.

Good read

overall I left the book I love the story and I'm looking forward to continuing with this series however the male reader his female voice I didn't like it I didn't want to give it anything less than five stars but the male reader he needs to do better the male reader as a female character not good

Still loving the story

I am still loving the story. I was worried about which way it was going to go, but in the end I was satisfied. The male narration is still killing me. The surfer dude voice and whiny girl he does makes me laugh when it’s not supposed to be funny. It make me think of men playing women in Shakespeare. But the story is still to my liking. I will continue to book 3.

Worth the credit

This was a good book but a little warning while the female narrator is great the males is grating to say the least.

Good book but

The time to say no and protest is before the first time, not after several times. This book was hilarious thanks to Tristan and Meg. Their characters private thoughts were so funny. Interesting storyline and great narration. Looking forward to listening to the next book.

Good

This was a pretty good listen. My issue as always, was the narrator. Everytime he talked, it sounded like he was introducing a contestant on a gave show or telling you what prize you have won.
