Publisher's summary

Micha Kessler, Prince of Ashen Springs, bully, and devil in disguise.

We were the Knights, the future leaders of the Order of Ravens and Wolves. Each born into privilege and power. We could have anything and anyone we wanted.

And I wanted Riley Adams.

That pigtailed little brat slapped me in the park. She thought she could handle me. That I was just an entitled prick who got my kicks taunting her. She should’ve listened to the rumors, paid attention to the warnings...not that it would’ve mattered.

Her fate was sealed the day she came up to me looking for her damn dog.

Hate wasn’t a strong enough word for how I felt about Micha. I could handle his taunting words and cruel jokes, but he decided to up the ante. Trap me, lock me in a cage, and throw away the key.

But the thing about a cornered animal is that they eventually turn feral, desperately clawing around for a way out. Even the devil had a weakness.

I just had to maintain my sanity long enough to find his, and hope that I didn’t lose something I couldn’t get back in the process. Because there’s a fine line between love and hate...and that line is starting to blur.

Warning: This book is a dark romance and contains intense sexual scenes. If you are a listener with certain triggers sensitive to such dark themes, please heed the author's note at the beginning of the book.

Listen to this book!

I loved this dark, gritty, suspenseful audiobook. If you love secret societies with jealous/obsessive alpha males and tough, feisty heroines this is your audiobook. All the characters were so complex and intriguing and all the twists and turns kept me on the edge of my seat. This story is addictive and you won’t be able to stop listening. I loved the narration and can’t recommend this story enough! Listen Now!

3.5 Stars (4.5 for story, 2 for narration)

I would have enjoyed this story so much more had I read the book rather than listened to the audio version. There was just something about both narrators voices that didn't work for me. But the story itself was great! It had all the elements and tropes that I love, and the writing kept me engaged the entire book. I am excited to get to most of the other guy's books.

Feisty heroine

I’m usually all over the hero being dominant and with all the power but when the heroine fights back and is feisty well that does it. I mean the hero still over powers her but her not being a doormat makes it.. sweeter 😏 Its not the steamiest book but the steamy scenes are well 🔥🥵perfect. And besides loving this couple you’ll love some of the other characters in this book just as much…. Micah will always be my # 1 though 😌
Enjoy the ride!!

THIS WAS AN AMAZING BEGINNING TO THIS SERIES

I absolutely loved this story! Holy hell… every single one of the guys in this book was in some way sexy as all hell! I loved the banter between Micah and Riley. I couldn’t get enough of how she always fought back no matter what.

Micah is a typical guy not understanding or wanting to face his feeling for this girl. Then when it came down to it… ran from his feelings when he thought he was going to get hurt! It’s funny how you can tell Riley was raised basically by Chase because she ran from her feelings as well.

I love how you can see each story beginning to take flight within this first one. But having the King of Kings start this series off… was perfection!!

I enjoy enemies to lovers but throw in a bit of secret society and dab of MFM… you got yourself a real winner in my eyes and now a loyal fan!
