I am in love with this series and Emily McIntire's books.
I read Wretched first because it was the only book in the series I had at the time.
When I was finished, I went and bought the rest in the series.
I LOVED Wretched. It slapped me in the face with its goodness, and what did I just read-ness!
I love the woman villain perspective, and she is just such a bad babe!
I've never read anything like it, although I am just getting back on the reading bandwagon this year.
This book & series is certainly helping keep me on the wagon.
I like that the romance wasted no time, and got right into it.
Since reading Wretched, I've finished Hooked, Scarred, Twisted, and on Crossed Now.
Wretched still has my heart as favorite! Can't wait for Hexed! Can it be here already!?

Thus far, this book has had the best narrators of the series. Both voices finally match the characters perfectly, and their inflections and changes in tone to give voice to other characters are all strong enough to stand out, but not so over the top that they ruin the mood. I'd STILL like to see them voice the lines of their character in their opposing chapters; I just think it makes sense! But the performances were good enough in this one that I wasn't as bothered.
The audio does make the story feel slower in pace than the physical read, and overall it does seem like there is less action (but there is plenty of 'action' π) in this one, so there are moments where it is easy to zone out. But then, that's good when you're using the books to relax! And it's definitely an easy listen.
I guess I'm not as drawn to this one as the 'good boy/bad girl' dynamic isn't my favourite (I prefer the other way around). But still, the characterisation is good and I like the way it doesn't feel too stereotypical or trope-y, while still playing off of those things.
One more to go (Crossed isn't on the freebie list, sadly...)!
