About this listen

The Manipulator

I can manipulate the emotions of anyone who lets me.

I will make you hurt, make you cry, make you laugh and sigh.

But my words don't affect him. Especially not when I plead for him to leave.

He's always there, watching and waiting.

And I can never look away.

Not when I want him to come closer.

The Shadow

I didn't mean to fall in love.

But now that I have, I can't stay away.

I'm mesmerized by her smile, by her eyes, and the way she moves.

The way she undresses...

I'll keep watching and waiting. Until I can make her mine.

And once she is, I'll never let her go.

Not even when she begs me to.

While not required, it is highly suggested to listen to the novella Satan's Affair first.

Author's Note: This book ends on a cliff-hanger. For CWs, please check the author's website.

Maybe dark romance isn’t for me

Don’t get me wrong, I can get behind red flags, but I just can’t find it in me to think that sexual assault is hot, especially sexual assault with a foreign object. I might’ve been able to appreciate the book more if that scene wasn’t there, but it set the tone of their relationship and made me feel super gross and uncomfortable. Considering how many women are SA’d at some point in their lives, myself being one of them, I think this might be a hard pill for survivors to digest so just be aware of that if you are considering this series.

The other thing that really threw me is that Zade devotes his life to saving women and children from sex trafficking yet he turns around and subjects this woman to many of the same horrors those victim’s experience. How is he any different than those he fights against when he robs Adeline of choice/consent under the threat of violence? It is the Grand Canyon of plot holes.

Overall, I think the writing was decent and the voice acting was alright. Zade literally sounds like a sinister creep so the voice was spot on there. If this style is up your alley, I imagine you’d like it, but for my fellow readers who like their spice rough but consensual, I’d pass on this one.

OMG

This book made me confused between loving and hating Zade… I love how much he loves he, but hate that is is a criminal that deserves jail. I still highly recommend this book series!

criminal minds meets sex in the city

Interesting voice for the male to get used to at first, but ended up working really well for the character. Not a book I would be encouraging my mom to read because it is raunchy as all hell but very intense book with good plot and inner dialogue.

Addy is...

I struggle with liking Adeline, but I don't dislike her either.
My main hitch is how contrary Zane is to his job and how he treats Addy. They bring this up once in the book, but really it stuck with me. However, the story is interesting enough I want to know more so I'll probably get the second one as well.

what a way to enter dark romance

Ok, new to this genre of books and all I can say is I'm glad I found it. I cannot wait to start the next book.

I didn’t want to stop listening

CHECK FOR TWS .
In the beginning none of it sat well with me, but by the end I was as hooked to Zade as he wanted us to be. I needed to hear how everything ended, of course to be faced with a cliff hanger but I can’t wait to listen to the next.

you want to stop and can't...

Disturbing and yet very titillating read. You want so much to put it down and yet very much like the characters you get that "what's through this door?" jump scare awaiting you. Interesting character and plot design. Not for the faint of heart.

Darkly Addictive

I’m obsessed. I love the unsuspected dark writing, an unapologetic change of pace in story telling. The voices chosen for this book ugh *chefs kiss
