Publisher's Summary

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.

Dark, smut and so interesting

Obsessive stalker at first glance. It was a dark romance with some potentially triggering scenes but I loved it. Leaves on a cliff hangar but the second book might be better, with more character development. 18+

Hoped the villain had a different voice from the hero

Zade’s voice had started emit certain emotions.. at that point when zavier and other a**holes having the same voice throws it off

A fantastic audiobook

The readers were fantastic, story was gripping, and of course, you can’t forget the dark romance aspects. 10/10

Wow!

What a ride! There wasn’t a single emotion or feeling this book didn’t touch. The humour, the whit, the spicy and the crime was so well woven the book melts away time and place. Leaving you always wanting to know more, to ride along side the characters and see what fate is coming their way.

And the performance by the narrators is incredible. Their voices shall forever be there… even when I inevitably do my hard copy reread.

I don't know why I waited so long.

Whew this book!. Zade was so inhinged, 🔥. I really shouldn't like this, but a possessive, protective touch her and die hero does things to me.

What Zade really was hunting was monsters and bad things go bump in the night. As the story was going on I was hating Zade to loving him!. Dark romance at its finest!

Whhhaaattt?

Booktok made me listen. The filthy bits were just too problematic for me in the beginning, like no thank you, a wet ______ isn’t consent. The storyline kept me interested, though, and I had to move onto the second book. The voice actors were good but I wish the dude sounded more like someone in their 30’s instead of an old dude bragging about his time as a US marine. Some parts had me LOLing cause he was just so douchey at times (the character, not the actor). Read at your own risk, MAJOR content warning.

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.

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.
