Bane by L.J. Shen
5.0
Audiobook Review
Once again L.J. Shen has made me fall in love with an anti-hero. Yes, Bane is a liar, a con, a thief, a bully, and a whore. Guess what? I fell for him anyway.
Jesse is wounded and extremely frail—easy prey for a heartless opportunist like Bane. There are absolutely gut wrenching moments throughout as well as tenderness. Bane helps Jesse discover her confidence and strength, while Bane taps into his more sensitive side as a result of Jesse’s influence.
The intricate plot is well paced and absolutely addictive! You should anticipate some truly despicable characters. However, compassionate characters are inserted at the right moments to give the heavy subject matter balance.
Christian Rummel is the perfect Bane, with his deep baritone voice and an “I don’t give a crap” delivery. Savannah Peachwood’s Jesse embodies a vulnerability that convincingly morphs into strength. Both narrators make the characters more vivid. Bravo on the casting!
