Story
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Loved it!
I listened to Dark Heirloom back when it was released and it was my first audiobook experience. While there wasn't anything that bothered me too much, the production on Dark Liaison is so much better.
Again, MJ Webb brings to life the characters of this book. She's done an amazing job giving each character a different sound, cadence, and personality.
Sarah is, by far, my favorite character in this installment. Her quirkiness and demeanor is endearing to me. I hope that her character gets explored more later in the series.
My one complaint in the book is the cliffhanger. While I get the purpose of a cliffhanger, I personally don't appreciate them. Especially not in an epilogue.
Other than that, I enjoyed the listen and a few of the hot and steamy scenes to pass the time on my commute. ;)

MJ Webb’s theater background shines through as she not only reads the story but gives each character life. Looking forward to the continuation of this series.

Enjoyable story, amazing narration
I adored Dark heirloom so much. But I struggled a bit to get into Dark Liaison. It felt like a slow start and I found myself having to take lots of breaks.
I think my biggest issue was Maria’s POV this time around. I wasn’t invested in her as a character and I was just eager to get through her chapters and back to Emma.
Speaking of Emma, YES PLEASE. I really loved her character development through this book. While she has a few cringe worth moments, she really just kicked butt in this book.
Call me a hopeless romantic but FINALLY🔥 I was patiently waiting and waiting. Thank goodness it happened. But that cliffhanger 🧗♀️
I can’t wait to listen to the next one.
I usually do a mix of listening and reading. I listened to Dark heirloom and Dark Liaison. Both read by MJ Webb and yes girl. As usual, her accent is on point. She really brings the characters to life, even the males.
She’s a must watch narrator and I can’t wait the hear more.

Leaves Me Wanting More... In The Best Possible Way
I’m always curious how books in series progress. I LOVED the first book in the Ema Marx series. I can happily say that “Dark Liaison” did not disappointment. The story continues with even more history/back story of vampires. The story has more development with the characters and some things even get STEAMY. *insert smirking emoji here*
The only thing I found about the story was that it seemed a little slow with the plot moving forward/gaining momentum. I did find myself wondering when the story would pick up. Thankfully, that wondering was answered about 2/3-3/4 of the way through and it kept me hooked! There are even some cliffhanger moments (no spoilers here) and I can’t wait to see how the series progresses.
I love the narration and her ability to switch between the characters. Even with the introduction of new characters with different accents. I was never confused with which character was speaking. The narration/audio improved from the first book and there was no weird white noise between chapters like in the first book.
All in all, I really enjoy this series and I can’t wait for book 3 to become available on Audible!

Incredible
The second book is no less gripping and exciting than the first. Secrets continue to run rampant and the mystery deepens as things shift and change.
The narrator does it again with incredible skill. Her inflection and the emotion with which she narrates is phenomenal!
Love it!!!
