About this listen

I’m the shadows that reach out and take a bite. No one sees me coming, which is why I’m sent to do the things even our fearless leader won’t touch.

After months of watching our enemies, it’s time to take them out. I’m ready to feel their blood on my hands, their worthless lives ground to dust.

But I don’t get the chance when a dark haired beauty comes crashing into my plans, seeking sanctuary from our enemies. Now I’m stuck on guard duty, babysitting a mafia princess.

As tensions rise, the flames of desire flicker between us. We shouldn’t cross that line.

I’m too dark, cruel, and sinister for her.

I swear I’ll watch over her, protect her from anyone and anything. But there’s one thing I can’t protect her from: me.

This is a complete standalone within the series and contains dark themes that may not be suitable for all listeners.

the female narrator is very monotoned and make the emotions dull but other than that good book with some plot holes (to my knowledge I didn't read the series just this one )

eh I don't know how to feel

I liked the voice of the guy and the story was great but whoever read the part of Selena always sounded like she was asking a question at the end of every sentence. it was hard to not notice or get into Selenas part.

Girl Voice

but still not as awful as the first pair. thankfully I think I can imagine how the series will progress, we'll enough, so I'm not aggravated to stop here.

not as good as book 3

I’m not sure how this narrator got hired for this but, just awful. IF she narrates anything, it shouldn’t be a crime family.

Good story, bad narrators

the woman Kelly reads the book.....oddly. like she doesn't know when a sentence ends and seems to detached from the story. I feel like if shedlock did everything himself, it probably would have been a lot better. FMC is a hypocrite though....and clueless

story is ok. shedlock does great. Kelly not so muc

The female narrators inflections during words & sentences isn’t natural in any way, shape, or form. It’s incredibly distracting. I get lost wondering why she speaks/reads this way.

Female narrator 👎

Hate to be a bummer but the female main character was so stupid and as much as she always declared she was smart and could take care of herself - she couldn’t. Enjoyed the male main character voice but the female main character left little to be desired. The book is better. Not much of a story it took so long to get to where some action actually happened.

Long story

This story gets a little annoying when she talks about consul members. But other than that it’s alright.

The voices could have beeen better. I liked the book myself tbh but I feel like better voice overs would have been better. They didn’t have enough emotions and the voices honestly weren’t my thing. But overall I loved it

Cannot wait for the next book! Good story and the narrator’s did a wonderful job.

Great Story and Narrative
