Hot, hot, hot. I’ve been in a reading slump and was looking for something to snap me out of it. I was afraid that I would need to completely drop my obsession with smut and try a different genre since I just wasn’t enjoying it like I used to. Then I read this little gem!
PROs:
The male narrator’s voice, Troy Duran, was AH-MAZING. I could literally listen to that man read some dry, awful, disgusting book about baby poo and I’d still be fanning my face at how sexy his deep gravely voice sounds.
Plot was interesting. Pacing was good. I enjoyed the author’s writing style.
I only had two semi pet peeves with this book
1) The female narrator’s voice, Kelsey Navarro, was super irritating in the beginning. She tried to lace her voice with so much rebellious disdain that it really was over the top and annoying. However the more I listened the more I realized that was a good choice for this novel because it for the FMC.
2) This is much darker that I usually read so go into this with open eyes and make sure you check the trigger warnings. You must be okay with extreme and graphic violence in order to make it through this book.
Overall I highly recommend this book. It’s one of the best over read in a few months.
