I love this story, it’s a dystopian mindfu**. You have a human world that is a shadow of its current self, with days and nights that last 1000 hours. Daytime is normal and routine, but nighttime is a period of “might makes right.” Crime and lawlessness rule, and to stay safe, you need to protect your home and those you love. This is the story of Helene, who gets trapped out, when her medically fragile sister discovers she doesn’t have enough medication to last the night. Not all is as it seems, and humans have no idea of the world they actually live in and the magnitude of the dangers that could befall them. This isn’t a romance as much as a dark story that has a romantic line as part of the larger story.
The narrator does a good job imbuing emotion and tone in her reading, and doesn’t distract from the story.

I wanted the fairy tale. Was that too much to ask? The attractive man with his life fully together, who loved me. Babies. The white picket fence. But men had other ideas. They wanted to waste my time and all my good eggs. They didn’t want to commit. They wanted to sleep at my house, eat my food, and have a mommy bang maid. They wanted me to be their mommy and never complain about it.

Excellent story enhanced by talented narrations

This is a love story that has elements of dubious consent and conflicted emotions. Livia is in love with three powerful men, and she’s not able to manage the situation as it spirals beyond her control. The story blooms as the power dynamic shifts, and you’re constantly trying to get a handle of the twists that Kitty Thomas throws in our path.
The narrators really enhance this story, with the two speaking the chapters from the different POVs. Livia’s narrator conveys emotion and puts just the right inflection to let us hear the character’s conflict and uncertainty. The men’s narrator has a power and dominance in his reading that fits the male characters and gives life to the forbidden. Being able to listen to the story allowed me to pick up on details that I overlooked while reading, and this is going is going to be a regular “re-read!”
