About this listen
Ara Starrin's entire life has been a lie.
Hidden in the shadow of her controlling father, General Evander of Auryna, Ara has never tasted true freedom. For most of her life, she's been locked away in his estate as he is determined to protect her from the bloodthirsty Fae across the border.
As her twenty-sixth birthday comes and goes, he decides it's time for her to marry, against her wishes and completely unbeknownst to her.
Ara's fate is sealed the moment he announces her engagement.
Rogue Draki's entire life has been a painful truth.
Raised at the hands of his father, the merciless king of Ravaryn, Rogue has never tasted an ounce of kindness. Now that his father is dead, the crown has been thrust upon him, and it is his responsibility to save his people from the wrath of Auryna.
It is for that reason he crosses the border into Auryna to spy on the court in the Capitol—for secrets, leverage, anything.
Rogue's fate is sealed the moment he lays eyes on Ara Starrin.

Arwen Valondale never expected to be the brave one, offering her life to save her brother’s. Now she’s been taken prisoner by the most dangerous kingdom on the continent, and made to use her rare magical abilities to heal the soldiers of the vicious Onyx King. Arwen knows better than to face the ancient, wicked woods that surround the castle on her own, which means working with a fellow prisoner might be her only path to freedom. Unfortunately, he’s as infuriating as he is cunning—and seems to take twisted pleasure in playing on Arwen’s deepest fears.

Only the extraordinary belong in the kingdom of Ilya—the exceptional, the empowered, the Elites. The powers these Elites have possessed for decades were graciously gifted to them by the Plague, though not all were fortunate enough to both survive the sickness and reap the reward. Those born Ordinary are just that—ordinary. And when the king decreed that all Ordinaries be banished to preserve his Elite society, lacking an ability suddenly became a crime—making Paedyn Gray a felon by fate and a thief by necessity.

After nine years in a tower, I was finally rescued...by a deadly fae king who wants to make me his mate. He's harsh, beautiful, and being hunted by an ancient magical monster. If he wants to stay hidden, he needs to keep my magic close. To do so, he ignites a forbidden mate bond between us that connects our minds and prevents me from leaving his side. Though he insists it means nothing, the longer we're connected, the more our desire for each other rages beyond our control. We have to fight it, because in his land, love is a weakness.

Chosen from birth to usher in a new era, Poppy’s life has never been her own. The life of the Maiden is solitary. Never to be touched. Never to be looked upon. Never to be spoken to. Never to experience pleasure. Waiting for the day of her Ascension, she would rather be with the guards, fighting back the evil that took her family, than preparing to be found worthy by the gods. But the choice has never been hers. The entire kingdom’s future rests on Poppy’s shoulders, something she’s not even quite sure she wants for herself. Because a Maiden has a heart. And a soul. And longing.

After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

I’d known exactly who he was—the Unseelie prince. But I hadn’t known just what he was. I’d been fooled. The creature I’d formed a tentative friendship with in my family’s dungeon was not the gentle, intriguing prince I’d thought him to be. He was a monster. A bloodthirsty beast. And I’d helped him escape my uncle’s clutches. Such a betrayal called for severe consequences, and the price of releasing the biggest threat our kingdom had faced in hundreds of years was not one I would survive.

SOO SOO GOOD!!!
There were highs, lows, twists, turns, you name it! This book had me hooked from the very beginning! There was just enough spice but also enough lore and fantasy going on to keep you completely engaged and invested into what’s going on with the story and the characters. I could go on forever about how amazing this book was! I have a hard time with reading physical copies but this book was so dang good I’m getting it on my kindle because I can’t wait for the second one to come out on audible to see what happens!

I highly recommend!
When ACOTAR got me back into reading I have been binging every fantasy romance I can find, After reading dozens, this is one of my new favorite stories. I love romance, but honestly the spicy scenes don't do much for me, yet the characters and their relationships are entertaining, charming, and intriguing. I enjoy a lot of the typical romance tropes and this definitely satisfies many of them.
There were some points where it felt rushed and the characters were kind of "piecing the puzzle together" all at once out of nowhere and leading up to a huge battle that I thought was going to be filled with epic fighting and dramatic displays of skill, which sort of fell flat, aside from Ara's abilities. I suppose it was understandable given the circumstances but it still left me a little disappointed. With that being said, there were scenes from this story that were very impactful to me that I won't be forgetting anytime soon. I am obsessed with Rogue and Ara, and I can't wait to see the next step of their journey.
The narrator performance was decent. I love the female narrators voice, but the male narrator did not match the voice I would imagine for Rogue at all. It did pull me out of the story at times, but it obviously doesn't retract from how good the story was.

Lacking a “flow”
Starting with the positive - I really enjoyed the overall plot of the story. Ara & Rogue are both interesting main characters & the story itself felt fresh in the current wave of fantasy fanatics. All of the character names and personalities were selected beautifully and the world building was overall good. Spicy scenes flowed well and felt like they were added in at the right times.
The downside - overall it lacked a flow. It felt very scattered & some of the situations/conversations ended very abruptly & awkwardly. The writing was cringe worthy in some scenes, and feels a bit juvenile at times. Instead of heartfelt statements or moments coming across as moving and tugging my heartstrings, they reminded me of the awkward fanfic that you read in middle school. The female voice actress made this book even more awkward I’m afraid. Her tone changes, and random breathiness and speed changes made me want to DNF very early on. The male voice actress was nice, not what I pictured rogue as but it worked.
Overall, it was an okay read. Probably wouldn’t reread it in the future - but did move on to read the next installment and am interested to see this author continue to grow as she publishes the rogue x ara series!

That was fun!
There aresome things that annoyed me, mostly the main FC being angry all the time. But I liked the main MC and she eventually came around. Interesting magic and world building. Now when is book 2 coming out on audio??

Good Goddess this book!!
I seriously do this with almost every book… It sita in my TBR & then I think about reading it & don’t.. & then I finally decide yes I’m going to read it & BANG, I have the best time ever with it.
What a world & interesting magic system this book has. I was honestly hooked by chapter 3, with its fast paced & action pack plot. I absolutely love Rogue — he is definitely in my Top 5 book boyfriends list. Onto book 2!!

the spice is real
Super spicy, but I was intrigued by the plot. At times it felt a little predictable, but the author did catch me by surprise with a few twists. I wish that there was a little more "girl power" from a female character with such potential, but the world as it is written drips with male superiority. For example, a male Fae can always track his mate, no matter where she is, but it isn't mentioned that a female could do the same. Despite some of the drawbacks for me, I'll read book 2 to know what happens. Book 1's cliffhanger has me intrigued for sure.
