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.

I didn't mean to steal the Bloodstone from the De Morel's crypt. Scratch that, I did mean to steal it. Until I realized it was a curse-magnet that only comes off if I, along with a jolly trio, successfully defeat four curses. If any of us fail, I'm dead. I've never been a glass half-empty sort of person, but my glass looks in dire need of a refill right about now. The only highlight of this wicked treasure hunt: feisty, entitled Cadence de Morel.

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.

On the eve of her twentieth birthday, Karys woke to the sight of a divine creature dying outside her home. Two weeks later, her sister disappeared, leaving nothing but a trail of blood in her wake.

So when Dravyn—one of her world's most powerful deities—descends in search of humans worthy of serving him, Karys knows what she must do.

It was supposed to be a quick mission. The only thing quick about it was how rapidly I failed. With only a month left to earn her missing feathers, twenty-year-old Leigh embarks on a trip to Paris to meet her newest project, twenty-five-year-old Jarod Adler, leader of the Parisian Mafia and the worst kind of sinner . . . a Triple. 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.

It was supposed to be easy: find the drug maker. Find her, and drag her back to the dragons to deal with. She deserves death for what she's done. For someone like Weston, the best alpha in the world, the one who shuts people up just by walking in the room, it would've been. Until he learns what she is. Finding a fated mate is nearly impossible. Very few are able to do it. But the call of their bond is unmistakable. Against all odds, and in the worst situation imaginable, he's found his true mate. Her.

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.

No one knows what happens up at Midnight Manor. The home of the Voss brothers sits like a sentinel looking down on our small town, remaining a mystery. The four brooding billionaires rarely leave the confines of the iron gates, fueling rumors that have existed for decades. When my father dies, all the security I’ve known is ripped away, forcing me to come face to face with the eldest brother, Asher Voss. His outward beauty is just as I’d heard—it belies a predatory nature, irresistibly drawing me in.

Born into violence. Ruthlessly brutal. Savagely alluring. Maddoc, Dante, and Logan. The Reapers. They’re the type of men mothers warn their daughters about, and the last thing I should be doing is marching into their territory and proposing a deal. But I don’t have any other options. My sister has been sold to the notorious West Point gang to cover a debt my father owes, and I’ll do anything to get her back... even if it means offering myself up to the Reapers, West Point’s enemies.

It was supposed to be simple—dinner with my best friend’s little brother as a favor. No big deal, right? Wrong. That lanky boy I remember from our college graduation is nowhere to be found. When I meet him at his sister’s apartment, I’m facing a sexy, broad-shouldered, absolutely gorgeous man. And we’re supposed to spend the evening together. Maybe have a drink. And then go home. Separately. Instead, I take Mason home.

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.
4 starz - worthy of a repeat listen

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.

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

Loved both the book and the audiobook!
I loved the book and was so happy with how the audiobook narrators’ performances truly brought the story to life. The icing on the cake was that the audiobook included the Bonus Chapter that was not included in the main book. I buy a lot of audiobooks and it’s frustrating when authors offer “bonus content” to sign up for their mailing lists because most times, that content is not included in the audiobook. In the case of this audiobook, the bonus content is included!!

My Dark Beast-Olivia Wildenstein
Narrated by Blair Thatcher and Zachary Johnson
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.
