About this listen

A hero lost. An assassin on the warpath. A villain forced to be a savior.

Eight months after Tristan Faraday sacrificed his identity to save the woman he loved, the newest member of the Council faces danger on all sides. The woman he was programmed to care for, Emmeline Boucher, grows more unstable and dependent on him daily while he becomes embroiled in a deadly political game with the ruthless Head of the Council, Fang Chen, who will do anything—destroy anyone—to hold on to her power.

To honor Tristan’s legacy, Samara Zidan has thrown herself into ending the Council’s reign, leading the Resistance in a furious offensive against them. However, her heart remains fixed on finding a way to save the man she loves. When an opportunity presents itself, Samara will end up in the path of the most dangerous people on the planet, risking both her heart and her life.

Desperate to uphold his promise to make amends, Wyatt Faraday has worked tirelessly to find a way to fix Tristan’s faulty memories, but with Fang out for his brother’s blood, time is running out. If he doesn’t restore what was taken from Tristan soon, everything Wyatt cares about will be lost.

The Symbiosis was a phenomenal second book to The Drift. I was on the edge of my seat the whole way through!

Spoilers ahead:
Even in a dystopian setting, Casie continues to portray strength, hope, love and compassion through Tristan and Samara’s relationship and their unending passion to do better for all. I loved how we continued to get the dual POV between the two characters, especially once Tristan’s mind was altered.

I was in awe of how Casie portrayed the “villian” of this book, Emmeline. Casie constantly reminded us that Emmeline is not inherently evil, but that her situation was created over years of cruelty, abuse and isolation. Emmeline’s violence and rage was utterly devastating but I also felt deeply for her character and the tragedy of her situation.

Wyatt’s redemption arc had me laughing out loud (especially his disgust of glitter haha), swooning, and sobbing. Even with the small glimpses of Chloe, I love her and hope we get to see more of her in The Convergence!

The wedding and final battle scenes are action packed, emotional, and beautifully written.
This is another phenomenal book by Casie Aufenthie!

Phenomenal sequel to The Drift!
