I really enjoyed the story progression in this book. Seeing Kiarra (aka shadow Mommy) really come into herself in this one and I freakin loved listening to it!
And the men, oh the men. They’re just everything and anything I wanted them to be strong, possessive, alphaholes.

My critique for this one is the way the multiple narrators are set up. The narrators are all great, but the way they’re set up in this book is VERY confusing. Instead of a duet style narration it’s done by character by chapter. So it’s still one person doing all the voices for their respective chapters so it’s very confusing to keep track of who is talking from chapter to chapter. I had to rewind a lot to figure out who was who.

I’d personally read this one over the audiobook. Still a great story and a wonderful why choose.

Get ready for a scorching ride in the second installment of this captivating paranormal romance series! While I initially didn't realize I was diving into book two, the seamless narration made it a breeze to immerse myself in the story. And let me tell you, if you're craving a spicy paranormal romance fix, this book is a good-to-read!

In this sequel, we witness significant growth in our protagonist Kiarra as she delves deeper into her powers and embraces her newfound abilities. The character and relationship development take center stage, offering readers a deeper understanding of the alphas' perspectives as they navigate their connection with Kiarra. Featuring a multiple point-of-view narration style, the decision to use a full cast for narration adds an extra layer to the storytelling, bringing the story to life with vivid emotion and intensity.

With so many different points of view, one might expect some confusion, but fear not! The audiobook brilliantly navigates this complexity, providing each character with a distinct voice, earning it huge points in my book. While the romance occasionally felt amateurish and the spicy scenes seemed oddly timed, the gripping plot and compelling characters kept me hooked till the end.

Despite these minor flaws, I'd give this audiobook a solid four-stars rating. The story and characters have carved a special place in my heart, and I'm eagerly anticipating the final installment of the series. So, if you're ready for a rollercoaster of emotions and a hefty dose of steamy romance, don't miss out on this electrifying sequel! 🎧💖

The narrators did a fantastic job with the characters in the story. This audiobook picks up where the first book left off. Kai, Jax, Luka, Rion and Axel are still searching for Kiarra after King's stunt. Kiarra is held captive once again and the abuse is just as worse as it was in the previous book. As the boys try to break the spell that they believe is keeping Kiarra hidden, new threats are rising form the depts of hell that must be dealt with. Kiarra knows that if she wants to escape King's clutches that she will have to take matters into her own hands and save herself. She soon realizes that she has unexpected powers and with those powers comes the truth about her life and the actions of her mother. This story has a cliffhanger ending and I'm looking forward to listening to the next audiobook in this series. This reverse paranormal romance story has suspense, threats, friends, loves, mates, families, enemies and more. It has its dark moments, but I think that anyone that enjoys a good dark reverse paranormal romance story might enjoy this series.

I didn’t realize this was book two in a series. But I didn’t realize that until half way through. The narrator’s made it easy to just jump right into the story. If you are looking for a spicy paranormal romance this is for you! 🔥🔥🔥 I’m headed to read book one because book two was so good!

I'm thrilled to dive back into these books through the audiobooks – a fantastic opportunity to revisit the characters and the world I adored during my first encounter with the ARCs. The emphasis in this installment leans more towards character and relationship development, offering deeper insights into the alphas' perspectives as they navigate their separation from Kiarra.

In this sequel, Kiarra undergoes significant growth, unlocking more of her powers and showcasing her flourishing abilities. Witnessing her integration into the fight scenes, despite conflicting with alpha instincts, underscores the evolving trust between Kiarra and her companions.

The decision to employ a full cast for narration adds a dynamic layer to the storytelling, a refreshing change from the usual one narrator for each MMC in RH/why-choose romance audiobooks. However, while the majority of the narration shines, one of the male narrators fell short for me. The voice and tone used for all the other MMCs in his chapters felt disconnected, and inauthentic to each of the characters. The tone used was higher pitched and faster paced which is the opposite of what I would imagine for a character such as Rion.

Overall, I would give this book 4 stars for the audiobook/reread. The story and characters remain close to my heart, and I eagerly await the final installment of the series in audio format.

.I feel like this book could be a little confusing with 6 different POV, but the audiobook HELPS a lot because every character has a different voice. Which give this audiobook HUGE points.
.The narrators did a good job bringing this story alive.
.The romance felt a little amateur sometime. It didn't feel that way in the first book, but in this one it did unfortunately.
.The spicy talk happened at some of the most randomly time, or when they're in danger, they wanna have spicy time. Like I guess we not going to worry about her being in danger as long as they can get some. Lol
.I will continue on with the last and final book of the series because I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED ! AND HOPE THEY KICK KING BUTT.

- thank you netgalley, and dreamscape media for allowing me the ALC for my honest review | opinion.
