"Friends are like condoms. They protect you when things get hard."

That's what my five drool-worthy male best friends said when we were younger. But that was before we found out our souls were fated and that we were destined for more.

I don't know if there's a condom out there that's strong enough to protect us from what's coming our way now.

In the midst of natural disasters wreaking havoc on earth, we must claw our way out of the pit of grief we find ourselves in after a tragic loss, because another realm is counting on us to save it from a great evil.

The same evil that apparently killed us in a previous life, and is lurking closely in the shadows of this one.

Welcome to the disaster that is my life. Grab a seat and buckle up. Because no way am I letting us die in this life.

Contains mature themes.

love the story but REALLY REALLY REALLY wish they chosen different narrators didn't like either one of them.

“Jifs” - and there’s like one chapter where they keep saying it! Granted the character was drunk but the pronunciation was… something lol

Everything was great except one little thing lol

The Female narrator did a good job. Was willing to listen to the story that was losing me. But then chapter 4 happen! Male narrator's voice was so out of place for the story, it gritted on my nerves. Sorry this is definitely a RETURN. I just can't listen to that for another 7 hrs! Marnye Young is the only reason I gave it any stars at all.

waste of time and money

I can’t handle the male narrator. I can’t finish the book so not sure how the story goes.

Male narrator is difficult to tolerate.

Good story line, but I couldn't get passed the narrator. The female was perfectly fine but the guy OMG it was like listening a game show host. I only got as far as the middle of the jook I couldn't take anymore. Shame the story line was good but I just couldn't finish it.

Annoying

Honestly it should come with trigger warnings. Inexperienced FMC with past trauma, and her first experience happens while her mate is still possessed by the villain. I immediately stopped listening.

Hard pass
