Audiobook Review
This was an intense listen with some very dark themes and the narrator duet worked brilliantly. I loved how there were conversations between the leads rather than the POV narrator having to play all the characters in the chapter. Particularly as this is a very spicy book as well as being emotional and action packed toward the end of the book with both narrators playing several characters.
I wanted to know more about Isobel after meeting her in Wicked Heart where she was a stand out character for me. Her backstory is brutal and the performance Zara Hampton-Brown was spot on showing the range of emotions Isobel went throughout the book. Likewise Joe Arden did a great job with Hunter; I completely believed he truly was a monster for everyone but his Snow and would burn the world to ashes for her.
This is a standalone in a shared universe; I enjoyed the cameos and will be looping back to the read Wren's story next.
My interpretation of the star system;
3 stars - I enjoyed it; would read the author again
4 stars - I really liked it; I am invested and definitely want more from this author/series
5 stars - I loved it; I engaged with this book completely and I have added all the authors works to my TBR!
