This is how you end a duology. Beautiful Monster ate and left no crumb—a dark romance masterpiece.

Storyline was…decent but having the MMC kill an old, frail *innocent* homeless man who the FMC bought food for for hugging her in appreciation at being able to eat is not redeemable. She shouldn’t have ended up with him. Hurting/killing an old innocent man is just as bad as killing a dog imo.

I feel like I'm reading an Italian soap opera, and it's now just funny to read. It's giving trauma bonding. It's giving, is this love or do I have Stockholm syndrome?

Cruising for 4 stars as it was entertaining. Yes it's clearly labeled as a DARK stalker romance and that's kind of what you get. The stalking is all done in the past tense so I'm not sure that's accurate now...
Anyway, it's a well done audio book and and I'm stilling planning on listening to the duet after this.
However the ending had the thing I can't stand and since I was on the fence anyway I took a star off.

I listened to this duet with my Audible sub and the narrators made it hard to get through. They sounded like Darkwing Duck and Rosario Dawson, which wouldn't have been bad if she fit the character description, it was weird at best and distracting at worst. I personally don't take well to audiobooks but it's the only way I get pages in with my job now so don't take my word for it.
As far as the story itself...I tried. I was introduced to this author with the Blackthorn Elite series and while it's one of my favorites, I've had trouble with everthing that has followed. 'Little Mouse' bothered the spit out of me for one, I think we all know why. Christian and Sian were both trash. Christian for obvious reasons, like how did Sian miss ALL of the signs? Which leads to Sian who had koala smooth brain at all times. The senselessness of EVERYTHING was intolerable.
It wasn't just angsty emotional drama either, it was plot rush and poor character depth and 'shocking' revelations that fell flat. It's starting to look like one shouldn't push out so many books in such a short time. I'm starting to lose hope.
