About this listen
Everything had a price. Especially the truth.
Former Marine Atlas Kinkaid knows not to ask questions about the clients he protects at the behest of the elite Whitethorn security agency. Just like he doesn't like anyone asking about his scars - scars left by a mysterious attack that haunts his every waking moment.
Consumed by the need to find out what happened to him, Atlas takes a job providing security to Cristian Slava, the indolent - and gorgeous - son of a notorious businessman. Cristian seems to be just another entitled client, but when nights at the club turn into secret meetings and people start going missing, Atlas realizes there's more to Cristian - and to protecting him - than meets the eye.
But the same people who are after Cristian have something Atlas desperately craves: They know exactly what happened the fateful night he was attacked-and are willing to tell him everything....
For a price.
Contains mature themes.

I’m not sure I was a little disappointed close to the end also is B a vampire? Or just aware like atlas of their existence.
It’s sort of shitty if she’s either one of them or a human ally since atlas has been haunted for years of an attack he couldn’t understand, which killed ALL of his platoon. Yet B never thought to potentially hint at another unknown species not privey to humans to help ease her brother burden.
And the casual almost normal tone she used around carrying a bag of blood made me think she’s done this a bunch.
I don’t know, sort of shitty big sister behaviour to let atlas stow in his almost-death experience and limited her brother the answer he’s been searching for, for years.

🎧 John Solo's Atlas was perfect. However, Christian's timbre and accent was disappointing and Solo's accents for the rest of the characters were atrocious. Which was a damn shame because RV had upper crust English and earthy Romanian characters in addition to the American leads that would have made this such a listening feast if he could have pulled it off. Be that as it may, as Solo conveys emotion, sexual tension and suspense, l enjoyed this regardless.

Another issue was the narration. The posh voice for Cristian sounded like Stewie Griffin from Family Guy, so I couldn't take it it seriously. The other accents are not the best, and there are some nonsensical accent choices for supposedly Romanian vampires. This meant that the characterizations sounded off.
Even though the story ends on a cliff hanger I'm not invested enough in the characters to continue with the series.
Disjointed
