About this listen

Shallow Hill is where souls suffer slow and miserable deaths.

When River McAllister escaped from Shallow Hill, she left her innocence behind—and some of her sanity. Now, she's rebuilding her life with her dream man, and life couldn't be better.

Ryan Fitzgerald is everything you'd want in a man. Attractive, rich, an aspiring lawyer, and would do anything to keep River. But that's not the only thing that attracts her. It's his attentiveness and possessiveness, but maybe not so much his temper.

When her relationship takes a dark turn, Ryan's estranged brother, Mako, is the only one who sees it. He knows exactly what Ryan is capable of, and it's not the first time he had to be a knight in shining armor.

River came from Shallow Hill, though. She's never needed saving before. What Mako doesn't see is that River is perfectly capable of taking care of herself.

The only one who should be scared is Ryan....

This was a hard book to listen too because of triggers but the narrators brought it to life and made you feel all of the emotions while listening. Considering who the author is I can't be surprised but it was good and truly believe you got the full experience.
Yes, there is a happy ending but the journey is dark, twisted and brings out emotions that leave you feeling bereft of happiness, this book hits the hard truths and reality that some people actually live with. It brings out the cold wash of reality that this actual exists in the world and its not sunshine and roses.
It's brilliant how the author can bring out the anguished feelings and wrap it up I'm a bow at the end. Well done!

**Yes, I'm aware of the trigger warnings but I like to throw caution into the wind and read a book outside of my comfort zone. Welcome to life, not everything can come with warnings, sometimes you just have to take a chance, I'm glad I did**

Hard to listen too but good

This book is such a slept on masterpiece. So beautifully written about such horrors! HD Carlton proves once again that she is the queen of dark romance. Also, TOP NOTCH performances from both narrators. Jacob Morgan has such a diverse and beautiful way of narrating different characters and Michelle Sparks is a master at translating every emotion into her angelic voice. 10/10 experience!

What a story!

I really enjoyed this one. Dual narration definitely makes listening to things a lot better for sure.

DNF as the story was too dragging. Bought it because of JM as I love his narration however sadly his parts were not much at all in the book. Wish it's more. Not a fan of the female narrator. I had to return it. Sorry.

Story too slow. Love JM narrations.

Never having been in an abusive relationship you wonder why women stay. This is well written and Jason Clarke makes the monster so credible I’m beginning to understand. Riveting stuff. Loved it.

Convincing manipulation
