About this listen
DUET NARRATION WITH A BONUS CHAPTER!
SLEEPING BEAUTY x HADES & PERSEPHONE
Tarian Hadez—thirty-three, real estate mogul, mob lord, most eligible bachelor in New England, god. The god-part is an exaggeration. After all, if true deities existed, then the world would be a magical place, and it's really not. At least, my world isn't.
Calanthe Bloom. That's me. Twenty-four, college graduate drowning in debt, true crime addict, florist by default, single by design. Although not living my best life, I'm enthusiastically pursuing it. Especially, in my dreams, which, since a recent flower-delivery snafu, all feature none other than lethally private Tarian.
Oh, the things he does to me when I sleep.
Wickedly surreal.
Except . . . are they?
Enter a world of gods and monsters where dreams are made of flesh. My Dark Beast is a paranormal romance standalone brimming with spice and intrigue.
Content warning: strong language, sexually explicit scenes, graphic violence, Alzheimer's, alcohol drinking, abduction of an adult, addiction to "magical" drugs (off page), death of a loved one (off page).

I wasn't the type of girl who believed in fairytales, much less tales about faeries, but that changed the day the fae walked into my life. Staying away from my lakeside hometown was the plan, but Mom died suddenly. Dad said she suffered a stroke after she dug up one of the ancient Native American graves in our backyard. Creepy, I know. Creepier still, there was no corpse inside the old coffin, only fresh rose petals.

It's the dog's fault, really. If this untrained Great Dane I'm walking had any manners at all, I never would've ended up here: With my leash wrapped around the most gorgeous man I've ever seen. Lucky for me, the guy is a good sport about it. (Although his joke that “Dogs take after their owners” hits a little too close to home when Rufus starts humping his leg.) He leaves me with his business card and a smile that makes my knees weak.

I've been captured by a monster...and I just might let him keep me. One night out, one innocent conversation, and now I'm lying on the ground fighting for my life. No one realizes I'm missing. No one's coming to save me. Until a brutal winged beast eviscerates my attackers, saving me in a spray of blood. In one night I go from my mundane, unfulfilling life, to living in a castle with a monster who vows to claim me as his own. I know I should resist his forbidden embrace. But I'm irresistibly drawn to his darkness, and dangerously close to falling for this brutal beast. I'm playing with fire...

Long ago, Requiem was plagued by war and abandoned by the gods but Death saved the suffering people, giving each soul a hundred years of immortality. With that grace, he also sent two Maidens. One of Life, for healing and comfort, and one of Death, the only person in the world with the ability to kill. Generations later, the Life Maiden is missing and Princess Deyanira is nothing more than a trained weapon. A hunter. A murderer wrenched into Death's dark court to have the name of her next victim seared onto her palm.

If Leigh can get Jarod to accomplish a single act of kindness, she stands to win 100 feathers, more than enough to complete her wings and ascend to Elysium, the land of angels.

But a potential escape lies in the form of her gruff yet achingly handsome guard, whose loyalty she is determined to break.

She’s forgotten her fae life and wants to escape. He doesn’t care. He merely needs her blood in order to free his people. But she’s more than he remembers, and a spark ignites between them every time they touch.

All legacies—the descendants of the Four Houses—are required to attend because we’re all cursed, and the only way to break our curses is through binding our hearts in a quintet. Becoming part of a quintet is a dream come true. Destiny fulfilled. A gods-given, merciful blessing. For me, it’s a hard pass. I can’t be bound to anyone else. Trust me, it wouldn’t end well.

Story
Three months shy of her 18th birthday, Ness is forced to return to Colorado. Even though it's been six years, and the wolves of her all-male pack don't recognize her, she recognizes them. People who shun others because of their gender are hard to forget. Especially Liam Kolane—son of Heath, the crudest and cruelest Alpha to have ruled the Boulder Pack. Liam is as handsome as he is infuriating, as kind as he is punishing, and he makes Ness's traitorous heart race, which isn't good. After all, he's a Kolane.

Story
It’s been six years since my last confession. Once, I was an innocent. My life was a rose-colored dream with four best friends by my side: Eternity, Heath, Angel, and Saint—my big brother and my hero. When Eternity was murdered, everything changed. My family put me in hiding to protect me. But no one can hide forever. Now I’m back, attending a tiny Catholic college and attempting to move on with my life with the help of the sinfully tempting priest, Father Salvatore. I never expected to find Heath, Angel, and Saint roaming the halls of Thorncrown University, thirsting for vengeance.

I've been captured by a monster...and I just might let him keep me. One night out, one innocent conversation, and now I'm lying on the ground fighting for my life. No one realizes I'm missing. No one's coming to save me. Until a brutal winged beast eviscerates my attackers, saving me in a spray of blood. In one night I go from my mundane, unfulfilling life, to living in a castle with a monster who vows to claim me as his own. I know I should resist his forbidden embrace. But I'm irresistibly drawn to his darkness, and dangerously close to falling for this brutal beast. I'm playing with fire...

Eva Nix, glorified messenger, at your service. Sure, the ability to cross boundaries into other realms is pretty neat, but when a devil tricks me into a contract, my celestial blood suddenly becomes the greatest prize in a dangerous game. My first mission lies deep in the goblin realm, beyond the wild forests to the stone towers of the old ones, in search of Mistral. I expected him to be deadly and cunning. I did not expect him to sit me by a cozy fire to offer a contract of his own, sealed with a kiss.

Not A True Duet, A Bit Too Long, But I Liked This!
A bit of false advertising when saying this is a duet but I guess you could say it's A partial duet? Only Zachary Johnson voiced Tarian and only Blair Thatcher voiced Calanthe but all the other male and female characters were fair game; depending on whose POV the chapter was. Not ideal, but I would take a partial duet any time before duel style. Olivia Wildenstein is new to me and wow...she spun a really good, really detailed unforgettable yarn. Unfortunately, I feel that it was a tad overlong, there were times where the pacing slowed down and seemed to lag a bit so it took away from the momentum of the story. But still, at the end of the day I truly enjoyed this reimagining of Hades and Persephone / Sleeping Beauty.

Nice
The characters were really well written.
The romance made me blush and kicked my feet like a school girl.
But I did not like the mystery part of it, I got confused a couple of times because of all the names. But yet again, I don’t like mysteries in general so I might just be biased.

Rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
Spice 🌶️🌶️🌶️
Narration 🎧🎧🎧🎧
This book was wild! I didn’t know how Olivia was going to cross a Hades/Persephone with Sleeping Beauty, but I’ll be damned…she did. Her world building is phenomenal. The mains get stuck in dreamland for a while and each time you go into a new dream it’s like a whole new world and the descriptions are incredible. And the story telling is just so so good. It is lengthy but honestly I don’t know what could have been eliminated. This was so good. Now I feel like I need to go back and reread it and I’ll probably pick up on so many things I missed the first time through.
The narration was so good. This is my first by these two narrators and I thought they did a stunning job. The narration style was interesting because it wasn’t completely in duet or completely in dual but it was like a mix of both.

I am already a huge fan of Olivia so when I saw thid audiobook I jumped at the chance and am thrilled that I did.
The narration was amazing! It's a combo style of duet and dual. Blair was phenomenal at changing her tone to match different characters. Zachary was such a perfect Tarian, his timbre made me melt anytime he spoke. They both made the spicy scenes jaw droppingly good.
The story really captivated me and I didn't want to stop listening. The dreamsharing setting was intriguing and I enjoyed how it played out. As always, I love Olivia's writing style and how she weaves these incredible tales. There are always comedic elements to break up the tension sometimes from the sassy FMC Calanthe. My favorite chapters were in Tarian's POV because how he thought and spoke just had me swooning.
Olivia knows how to write spice🔥Even though the scenes were brief, and they often got interrupted, the quality and steam factor were off the charts.
The world was one we already knew with a twist of immortal gods living in it as mafia-inspired families. The story had incredible mystery elements that kept me guessing. At times the family felt like they were on a soap opera and I ate it up and asked for more. The secrets and twists were nonstop! My mouth was agape the entire last third of the book as all the mysteries were revealed. I also wasn't sure that things were going to end well. Luckily for everyone, this book had a fabulous comeuppance with a perfect HEA.

Quasi duet narration
I enjoyed the voice actors very much. The narration was duet… but only for the male main character and the female main character. The female voice actor did both male and female voices for other characters.

Beauty and the beast but faeish and dream world
Loved this take on the classic fairytale. Only issue I had was her friends character arc and the male narrator wasn’t what I envisioned for this character
