Full Cast Narration performed by June DeBorahae, Sean Masters, JF Harding, Oscar Reyes, Joe Arden, & Maxine Mitchell
• Dark Academia • Why Choose • Fated Mates • Prophecies • Hidden Powers • Chosen One • Paranormal (Witches, Vampires) •
Picks up right where book 1 left off. It's focused very much on Ophelia discovering her truth and learning to control her powers. And the fastest way for her to learn to master them is through edging. LOL I found myself uncontrollably laughing at one point because so many of the spicy scenes in this book revolve around her harem, now including the professor Alexandros, building her up to the point of going over the edge, which in turn causes her elemental powers to flare up, but then denying her the orgasm until she learns to leash her powers.
I did love the evolution of all of the relationships but felt that this book in particular focuses very heavily on the fated mates connection between Ophelia and Alexandros. And Alexandros has been a very secretive "daddy" to his three made-sons, Axl, Xavier, and Malachi. They've been with him for centuries but he's kept so much about himself and his life before them, a secret. I was kind of disappointed with how quickly they all accept that they didn't really know some very important details about him.
The ending! Oh gods, the ending! What a cliffhanger! I was not expecting it and was quite shocked. Interested to see where Sadie takes the story in the next book.
As far as the narrators go, they all did great, I loved them all. June does a fabulous job and really stands out against all the male narrators. Sean, JF, and Oscar all really shine as well, bringing personality to each of their characters.
