About this listen

From International bestselling author Maggie Cole comes her highly anticipated secret society, deliciously dark, next-generation Mafia series about two lifelong friends. Sean O’Malley Jr. and Zara Marino have a similar obsession with their fathers’ secrets, but discovering the truth requires them to surrender to each other and the unknown of their Underworld vows.

If secrets and lies, desires and denials, bonds and betrayal didn’t exist, Sean O’Malley would stay my friend forever.

That’s not the case.

There are two things we’ve always wanted but were off the table.

First: The truth about our fathers.

Second: Each other.

So when a mysterious man shows up with a branded skull on his hand, speaking in riddles about an Underworld he claims we’re meant to reign in, it’s too tempting not to get sucked into the forbidden.

Even if it means sinking deeper into the darkness, testing all our boundaries, and clinging to the friends we used to be and the vows we’re now bound to for eternity.

Bride by Initiation is a standalone with interconnected characters, and book one of The Underworld series. This dark secret society, Mafia, friends to lovers, forbidden, first real love, marriage pact romance is not meant for the faint of heart. Expect violence, taboo, and graphic scenes.

Holy Cow!!

The story was crazy!! It sucks you in, and so many insane things take place. Right up my alley! Alex and Amelie were and are AMAZING!! I absolutely love any narration the 2 of them do together.

It was a good story

It was a good story. It kept me wondering how it was going to end! But it could have been MUCH shorter… there was a ton of redundancy. “Just tell me” “why won’t you tell me” “is no one going to tell me” It kinda got annoying kinda wanted to fast forward a few times just to get the story moving along. The performance was excellent though.

Interesting

This story has a great premise. I love the secret society aspect with an outside mafia force. There were times when it just seemed like the characters got over conflicts too quickly. I don’t want to spoil anything but I kept thinking “so now it’s ok” or “why are you ok with this all of a sudden”. It doesn’t take away from the story and I still recommend it as a listen but those aspects were just a bit of a draw back for me. These were 2 new narrators for me and I think they did a great job especially with the different accents in this book. Alex has a great voice and does well emphasizing emotional moments and creating distinct voices. Amelie also did a great job of portraying multiple characters and making emotional connections. The story wrapped up nicely but definitely left a nice starting point for book 2.

Not her best

Parts of it were really confusing and parts were boring and I really just didn’t care.
