After escaping from the clutches of his demanding AI assistant in succubus form, Mark was thrust into the Crystal Heart gameworld after it had been left running for hundreds of years. Tasked with building his team and healing the corruption caused by the two warring artificially intelligent entities, Mark heads out into the unknown to enthrall compatible fighters and figure out his next steps.

With their new, magic compass in hand, Mark and his beautiful Enthralled begin the search for the scattered pieces of the broken Crystal Heart. The journey will send them to the far corners of the gameworld to face challenges that test their strength, their courage, and their bond.

As their adventures unfold, Mark begins to worry about what will happen to his cherished friends, teammates, and lovers if they actually succeed.

Christian Fox turned in another great performance.

The overall story by Prax Venter was enjoyable. However, I noticed the same problem in this book as the first book. Too many pointless sex scenes that added nothing to the characters or story. More than once I found myself going, "Didn't we just finish a sex scene?" when a new one started. After the half way point of the novel, it began to feel like the scenes were just there to pad the length of the book.

Second Book Same as the First

After being pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed all the characters in the first book; I had to listen to the second one. This is a series of books I plan on following and one that I hope doesn’t end anytime soon. It would make a hell of an anime too.

Not sure what I expected

So I'm not sure if there is a third book in the works but after finishing this book I'm desperate for closure. I'm not saying it's a cliffhanger but it definitely took on another level of depth and I couldn't help but feel for the MC situation. Overall the story was solid and my favorite scenes involve the antagonists that Prax Venter cooks up. I mean I wanted to curb stomp each and everyone of them. solid performance by Christian Fox too!

Amazing but the ending...🤯!! (no spoilers)
