About this listen

I was a journalist, I had a life, friends, and then all of that was taken from me.

No, not taken, stolen.

The Brethren found out about my exposé. They realised I was getting too close to their nasty little secrets—and so they made sure I disappeared.

Except, they didn’t just grant me the mercy of a shallow grave. Oh no, instead they handed me over to Magnus Blake, practically gift-wrapped me for him.

And he’s got plans for me. Big plans.

He says I’m his new pet project. He says he’s going to break me, torture me, use me in every disgusting way he can think of.

There’s no escaping him. I know he’s too powerful to beat.

But as the days draw out, as the nights get colder, I can feel something worse taking hold of me. I can feel how my body responds, how my emotions are twisting.

I don’t want to want him.

I don’t want to crave him.

But the darkness is eating away at my sanity....

And in the end, it doesn’t matter what I feel anyway; my life belongs to him. Every breath belongs to him.

I'm a pretty hardcore Dark "romance" reader, and more often than not find TWs to be exaggerated.. And even if the storyes are good even great.. The dark.. Is just not all that dark, and not for very long. This book, is Dark all the way through! The TWs is to be heeded... This is Not a romance... First time, I actually missed just a tiny drop of "sappyness"... This is a book for true DARK lovers... If you just like a little rough play in your Romance books... This one is not for you. But... For the rest of us ;) dive in.... Is Dark.. with capitals... D A R K. It was great...

This one is Pitch Black

What Lilliana goes through is nothing short of shocking but the internal battle she has with herself is honestly heartbreaking. And I loved every minute of this story. Coming from someone who has their own trauma I found this rather cathartic for me. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series. Chapter 38 absolutely broke my heart.

Magnus is dark and unhinged, he’s brutal and intense. But his change I didn’t think he was capable of.

His wife 😳😳 is the only response I have for this one.

Holy Moly

I absolutely loved this audiobook. The Narrators Alyssa Avery and Matthew Sharpe did an amazing job bring these characters to life. The emotions and feelings put into the characters made me feel all the emotions while listening. This book is dark, so please check your trigger warnings
Highly recommend

How do you review a book that semi-traumatised you but still liked it? And then you were just sitting there questioning yourself why you liked it? Yeah, this is the book!

Don’t start it of you think there will be sunshine at the end, no sunshine at all. MMC does not redeem himself! I repeat myself he does not redeem himself!

Let’s talk narrators. alyssa and Matthew were amazing! I’ve listened to Alyssa before and she portrayed our FMC perfectly!

Overall don’t start the book without reading TW, but otherwise i will be looking forward when the next book comes to audio!
