About this listen

Perfect for fans of From Blood and Ash and A Shade of Vampire—but with added spice!

Jak's life has only one meaning: Break the curse or die trying.

Marius's life has no meaning; not since he was cursed into the twisted, bloodthirsty creature of night. For years the witches have waited for their salvation, a way to return the magic that was sacrificed when the curse was first cast. Jak, a boy born with power that the witches have not seen in a century, is their prophesied savior. The one who is to kill the creature, break the curse and restore magic to his coven.

Sent to the creature's castle as the final Claim, Jak must get close enough to land the final blow. It is what he has trained all his life to accomplish. Not all is as it seems when Jak uncovers secrets and half-truths. The creature is not the haunting beast he had been brought up to hate. Emotions war as new feelings are uncovered. For what is more dangerous than hate? Lust.

Contains mature themes.

But not quite what I was looking for, although I should've realized as much. The book is exactly what it's trying to be: romance and lust between two characters destined to be enemies in a slowly approaching doom setting, with a narrator fully into it. And if that's all you need, this book is probably for you!

Personally though, I felt there wasn't enough to the story. The worldbuilding left unanswered questions, which weren't necessarily important to the thin plot but confused me nonetheless. The characters' decisions and motives didn't always make much sense, or at least lacked in explanation. The narrator often got a bit too theatrical to my liking. But take this with a grain of salt if you will, as this review is coming from someone who enjoys her relationships much much more platonic.

Good if you like a quick guilty pleasure read

Well, this was surprisingly fun. A gay Beauty and the Beast retelling with a witch and a vampire? I'm in. There's nothing overly complicated about this. It's easily enjoyable and entertaining, and the smut is a fun time. I wasn't the biggest fan of some of the writing. The occasional word choices made me cringe just a bit, but overall, it's great, and I will keep reading Ben's work. I wish I had checked out his stuff sooner.

Definitely a fun time

This story was alright, not great, not terrible, but not something I would want to read again. The voice acting was pretty bad though, his droning voice and unenthusiastic exclamations made this a difficult read. Chugging along, A.

Droning Voice

I had to switch to kindle and physically read this book, the narration was absolutely killing me. Male equivalent of intense vocal fry

The trail off on every sentence drive me insane
