Woods’ story is intriguing. I enjoyed the backstory and world building, although I did feel like I was missing some things with this novel. I do wish there had been a little more explanation at the beginning of the novel, but overall I appreciate the characters and how deep their feelings for each other are. They felt realistic with their interactions and fights/loving scenes. I wonder how part 2 will pan out with the ending of this one 🙂 Giving it a 4.5/5 stars!

Collins is a good narrator. His tone and pacing makes sense for the novel. Good emoting as well! No audio blips that I could tell so I’m giving it a 5/5 stars.

I received this audiobook as part of my participation in a blog tour with Audiobookworm Promotions. The tour is being sponsored by Adrienne Woods. The gifting of this audiobook did not affect my opinion of it.
