Three brutal monsters came to my rescue. Now who's going to save me from them?

Every beat of my heart is the tick of a time bomb, reminding me to squeeze as many thrills out of life as I can. Still, the last thing I expect is a horde of nightmarish monsters descending on me in the night, eager to tear me apart.

So when three more demonic figures leap out of the shadows to defend me, my choices are trust my unexpected champions...or die. Not exactly a tough decision.

The beastly men wrench me away from my home, claiming they'll keep me safe. They say there's something special about me—something the others want to devour and they mean to protect.

My monstrous saviors are just as brutal as the creatures they fought off, damaged in ways I'll never understand. I can tell they're hiding things from me. But the more we dig into the mysteries surrounding my existence, the more I catch glimpses of tenderness beneath their vicious exteriors.

And the touch of their fangs and tentacles makes me feel so shockingly alive, it's hard to remember why I ever feared them....

Until I discover the real reason they're protecting me.

I must say this is not one of my favorites from this author. It took me probably 10 chapters before it captured my attention. The idea for the story was good but I dunno something lacked at the beginning. I will say I loved when Sorsha and her men showed up… only disappointment was the narrator could not do them justice like Vanessa Moyen. The narration for this book was good… can’t wait to see what happens in the next book!

Slow Start!

I loved Eva Chase's Flirting with Monsters series and jumped to listed to this new series in the same world. The FMC is smart and strong. Her monsters are unique and charming. The narration performance is perfect for the characters. I can't wait for the next book to come out on audio. Well Done!

Excellent Story and Performance

My review is written voluntarily after listening to the audio version of this book.

Having listened to Flirting with Monsters already the concept of Shadow Kind is not new to me and so when I saw that Eva Chase had written a new series, featuring different shadow kind I was intrigued enough to want to listen. This first book introduces us to Quin a young woman, the recipient of a heart transplant some years ago, who knows she is living on borrowed time because her new heart has a limited life expectancy. Because of this she always pushes herself to achieve her goals and always tries to make a difference and leave her mark.

When one night she is attacked by monsters she's unable to defeat, she is happy when three yet bigger more frightening monsters come to her aid. She finds herself whisked away to an island by a gargoyle, where the villains/monsters who are in fact Higher Shadow Kind tell her they will try to keep her safe from the other shadow kind hunting her.

Quinn is fierce in a way that you can easily relate to, she knows her limitations and recognizes the danger she is in but refuses to give up fighting. I love how she accepts the strangeness of her situation and doesn't let it get to her too much. The three guys are interesting each a different species of shadow kind who whilst in the mortal realm retain one of their shadow kind features when they take their human form.

Torrent is their leader and is quite intriguing with his abnormal looks, we have yet to learn what species he is but he does have tentacles! Lance is a dragon, the feature he retains in his human form are claws, then there's Crag, a gargoyle, who can't hide his square jawline, he's my favourite so far! though I'm bound to change my mind as we get the know the guys and their backstories more.

As the story progresses we find out why she's being hunted, and why the guys were there to "rescue" her, as will all of Eva's books we are left holding our breaths by the cliffhanger situation she leaves us in. I can’t wait to see what she has in store for Quinn and her rescuers!

The narration by Amber Lee Connors and Aiden Snow is excellent, I love how Amber brings out Quinn's vulnerability and her strength and how Aiden manages to bring to life all the shadow-kind creatures we meet. I especially love his interpretation of Crag.

I was given this audiobook as a gift and am voluntarily writing my review.

I really enjoyed listening to this book. The story is addicting and the narrators are amazing at bringing the characters to life. I cannot wait to see what happens next.

Loved it.

I loved this book. it was interesting, funny, hot, and self aware. I love the main character and love interests, and the world felt established and real. At no point did anything feel hand wavey or overlooked, and all of the walls that the characters came up against felt real, and not like cardboard boxes set up for them to knock down.
the lore is interesting, but it doesn't take over, and all of the 4 lead characters were interesting and complex. I cannot wait for the next books to be made into audiobooks so I can binge them!

Breathtaking

I love the author and was looking forward to this. But the editing job is bad. There is excessive pausing to the point where it's frustrating. They have the reader repeating lines several times. it's sadly started to give me a headache 😞

bad editing good story

This story ensnared me from the start and wouldn't let me go. I love how different it is but still familiar since it's set in a world that I love.
