Consort of Pain by Eva Chase is a reverse harem paranormal romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Aletha George and Tristan James. This is the third book in The Witch's Consorts series.
I absolutely love Eva's books! I am really enjoying the relationship growing between Rose, Kyler, Seth, Damon, Jin, and Gabriel. I can't wait to see how it will progress over the course of the series. I liked getting all of their points of views throughout the book. It really brought the story to life.
The book ended on another great cliffhanger that left me begging for more. I can't wait to jump into the next book in the series Consort of Fire.
Tristan and Aletha did a great job on the narration. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.
I would recommend this series if you're looking for a paranormal romance, fantasy romance, or why choose romance.

Mutually assured destruction seems kind of anti climatic but I know they aren't letting it go. Nice that Rose has family that support and love her. Yay Gabriel for being the 5th consort. Let's see what happens next.

Every Saturday I'm looking forward to the next Eva Chase book. I've been quickly catching up with her work and I'm starting to get the feeling that I'm making progress. This is the fourth complete series I'm reading. Maybe I should take a break at some point from the Chase books. But, I'm gonna determine that after the next book. Maybe there was another reason that this book didn't do what all the others so far did.
My biggest problem was with the plot and with how it didn't really give the characters the chance to truly shine. I'm usually not someone who is bothered by a lack of plot, but somehow in this case a lot of character traits didn't properly shine through because the book lacked a certain direction. The characters were mostly on the run and although their dynamic was still amazing, it seemed that a lot of what they did was based on luck and less on the intelligence I like so much in these characters.
One of the things that bothered me, was that they were acting without thinking when it came to escaping. I understand they wanted to get away from their cells, but it was also THE place to gather information, to learn how big this thing was, to see where the weak spots were. Although they were doing some things to gather that info, it felt like maybe they had run away so far a little too soon. But maybe that's just me. I just couldn't shake the feeling that the way they were getting their info wasn't very effective.
However, the ending and all the promises for the next books made up for a lot. Although we also had a lot of new questions, we also got to see a little how big all of this was and we saw a glimpse of what was going on. That peaked my interest. So, I hope that the next book will be more to my liking again. I most of all hope that we get some more scheming, plotting and planning again. That was the element I truly enjoyed in the first two books. The mystery, getting new pieces of the puzzle and characters trying to to outsmart each other.
Who knows...next week?

Interesting continuation
I still think there should be more interpersonal issues, but clearly that’s never going to be the primary focus. The main plot moved in a new direction, which was good.
Spice: 4/5
Triggers: grief, torture, imprisonment

I just can’t finish these books. They are written fine but geez it gets pretty repetitive and doesn’t really answer much except she’s all powerful and oh yeah she can do anything! Except stop this and it’s just not going anywhere. Oh well, it was a free book from a friend *shrug*
