About this listen

Trust can be a dangerous thing. Trusting your instincts, trusting your friends, but more so, Trusting your heart. Because the General wasn’t what I thought he was. No, he was so much more. More than the cruelty and malice I believed consumed his soul. More than the darkness in his eyes and the monsters he commanded. And now he needed my help. Help with the Rift that ruptured and caused our worlds to collide. But as the truth started to unravel, I was left asking myself how far into his world was I willing to let myself fall? And more than anything… Would he be there to catch me? Even after I was caught up in the shadows of…

This picks up right where we left off with Alex realising the General is not who she thought he was. The secrets are starting to come out and there are more than a few revelations Alex has to work through whilst also finding herself torn between the two MMCs. Amanda Leigh Cobb continues to completely endear Alex to me with her performance; she is one of my favourite bright snarky narrators and just sparkles.

Alex's humour is one of my favourite parts about the character and the banter is more of the smouldering kind compared to book one. I was feeling so conflicted about the love triangle as I loved Riley in book one and although it's pretty clear who is end game, I couldn't see how this was going to unfold. There is something about how vague Riley's past has been that has me wondering what the reveal is going to be. I did miss Ryan Lee Dunlap as Riley is off page for most of the book but I am looking forward to hearing more of him in the next book after that ending which took an absolute turn.

It's lower on the action stakes compared to book one with the focus largely being on Alex and the General's relationship. James Cassidy's General though; wow, I am completely won over. There were plenty of swoony moments but I think the tantrum at the lift may have been my favourite part! It was just perfect listening to that in duet - I could practically hear the foot stomping.

I loved hearing more about the mythology of the General's world and I'm hoping we get to see the other side of the Rift in the next book. The gear change in the last couple of chapters has left me with some many questions and I am looking forward to book three already.

Slower paced but plenty of reveals!

These cliffhangers kill me so much!!

We go straight back into the drama and chaos that we left in book 1.

I’m really loving this series so much I think I know what’s happening and I am wrong every time. I loved the development of the relationship between Alex and Atlas it was so beautiful.

We didn’t get to see much of Riley until the last couple of chapters and wow did he make up for his short appearance those chapters were so jam packed with action I couldn’t stop listening.

The performance in these books are so good Amanda Leigh Cobb really excels as Alexandra she delivers such a fierce performance. James Cassidy really shows a new softer side to Atlas and it was so nice to see a different side to the general. Ryan Lee Dunlap as Riley at the end was so creepy but like in a really talented wow type of way!!

I can’t wait to see what happens next I have so many questions that need answering.

This series is so good!!
