I was blessed by entangled to receive a review copy of this book, I can’t really call it advance because the book was already out at that point. Since the book was already published i decided to read and listen at the same time, I am a sucker for a good immersive reading experience.
The Never List by Jade Presley was everything I look for in a romantasy book, I love the broody male characters who don’t trust anyone but each other. I love the strong FMC who has had to fight tooth and nail her entire life for everything she has only to find men who would prefer she never lift a finger again but won’t stop her if that’s what she wants.
I did however find some of the major plot points to be relatively predictable, which doesn’t take away from a story for me.
This story gave me zodiac academy vibes if the FMC ended up with all 4 characters instead of just one. That could have been because the male narrator was Jake Bordeaux. I have never met a book narrated by Jake that I didn’t love and this was no exception. Michelle Price did a fantastic job making her voice changes between female characters, allowing me to differentiate with ease.
Overall I highly recommend this book if you want an easy and enjoyable romantic fantasy, but the ending is going to leave you wanting so much more and the next book doesn’t have a release date as far as I can find.
