His voice makes her a better writer. It also makes her his prisoner.

Emily Chen's career is stalling. Desperately seeking inspiration for a darker manuscript, she meets Dr. Alex McDonald. His honey-rough Scottish lilt doesn't just unlock her creativity—it becomes the only sound she wants to hear.

But as Emily's apartment becomes a shrine to a man she's never met, she misses the cracks in the symphony. She ignores her family's pleas. She doesn't see the warnings being sent from the shadows.

Because Alex McDonald isn't a muse. He's a masterpiece of deception.

When Emily is lured to Edinburgh for a career-making meeting, she thinks she's heading toward her future. She doesn't realize she's following the same path as the women before her—women who are desperate to tell her that some voices should never be listened to.

"Until my voice finds you in the dark."

For listeners of YOU and MY LOVELY WIFE—a searing exploration of obsession, artistic ambition, and the terrifying intimacy of being truly understood by someone who knows exactly how to destroy you.

Initially i thought that i was was worried about the female voice but about hal fway through the book it got so much better.

The story itself i felt was dark and it worked well. It kept me interested to find out why and how and that is always a sign of a good book, despite my frustrations in the beginning, given that the narration itself was good.

It was believable that it could happen, i know this is fiction but i could really believe that this would occur given the skills that are around

slow and difficult at start but wow once it gets going

This was a bit of a harder book to get through for me because of how realistic and persistent the psychological aspects were. I found myself needing to take periodic breaks.

I also found it a bit difficult to root for the protagonist because she continuously ignored blatant red flags and always thought she was different. I'm never a fan of scenarios where characters display these attributes, but I also understand how realistic it is in the midst of manipulation. I did have some hope for her healing and freedom though, but that final chapter certainly dispelled of any such notions.

I would've preferred if a female narrator was used for Emily's chapters, or at least the narrator didn't use his Scottish accent in those chapters.

Overall, a pretty good book.

The narration of this book is absolutely amazing and it has kept me listening for hours on end.

This book is very dark and twisty, which are books that I absolutely love, so this has been an absolute trip and I have to listen to.

Due to the nature of this book, I am actually scared to say anything because I don’t wanna give anything away but let’s just say it will hook you from the beginning and it will keep you listening or reading with rapt attention.

I enjoyed it

Brilliant narration from Colin Marshall, who brings suspense, darkness and characters to your ears.

Emily normally writes romance books and wants to branch out into more darker thrillers. (Be careful what you wish for) Asking for help she reaches out to a Dr McDonald. Slowly the good Dr turns into a dark plot that Emily may want to write but not experience. As he slowly get into her head the manipulation and darkness truly start.
Don’t listen in the dark or late at night.

It was a frustrating listen. The story seemed to go round in circles. It wasn’t for me. The narration was great though and I didn’t turn it off.

Not for me
