His Hollow Heart

Fallen Kingdom, Book 1

By: Rachel Leigh

Narrated by: Alexander Cendese, Elizabeth Russell

Bella

A pact made.

Two orphans who vowed to never part.

I was selfish - for once, I had to be.

The last time I saw Callum, he was standing at the dormer window as I sat in the back seat of a car.

His dark eyes foreign to me.

The hatred that radiated from his glare shot through me with more force than a silver bullet.

In a matter of minutes, he had become a stranger.

He was no longer my best friend.

He was now a boy with a hollow heart who was headed down a dark path.

A path I knew I’d never cross again.

Or, so I thought.

Callum

We had a deal - always stay together.

The day Bella left, I vowed I would find her. And when I did, she would feel what I felt as I watched her pull away into a new life, with a new family.

Leaving me behind to endure a life that was wrapped inside the hands of a monster.

It’s been 12 years, but I’ve finally found her.

Now it’s time for her to bask in the darkness she’s created inside of me.

His Hollow Heart is a dark romance with triggering content. This book ends with a mild cliff-hanger, but do not worry, Bella and Callum will get their HEA, after they work hard for it.

His Hollow Heart

His Hallow Heart is the first book in the Fallen Kingdom series. This book is told from dual points of view from Isabella (Bella) and Callum (Cal). Cal and Bella grew up in the same foster home. They promised they would never leave each other and would get adopted together. However, something happens and Bella gets adopted without Cal.

Now years later Bella gets a once-in-a-lifetime job opportunity. She takes it and realizes she's trapped on an island with Cal, who is now her new boss. Cal wants Bella there so he can get his revenge for her leaving. However, she fights every way and doesn't fall to his whims.

Bella wants to know what Cal is hiding. However, the more she struggles, the more he takes revenge on her, and she starts to have feelings for him. Will she find out all of his secrets? Will she get off the island? Will Cal get his revenge?

I loved every minute of this book and all of the twists and turns. There was quite a bit I didn't see coming. I can't wait until the next part comes out!

Male narrator did not match character

I did not enjoy the reading by the male narrator. It was always the same tone with ineffective inflection and pacing that made it seem like he was in a rush to get to the end of his chapter.

wow!!

Alexander and Elizabeth did such an outstanding job of bringing Callum and Bella to life!
I love Callum and Bella's story!! I was completely drawn into Bella's world and I loved every minute of their story!! This book was just so freaking amazing and I just love their story!

Obsessed male lead

It’s a subtle push into the world of Cal’s obsession with power and possession. But once you’re in there, you’re stuck. Honestly, I don’t think there’s a better place to be stuck in.

Fantastic steamy listen!!

Bella and Callum were friends for 4 years in a foster home. They made a promise to always stay together but one day changed everything. Years later and fate brings them back together but it won't be easy. I just love their chemistry and it is off the charts hot!! First time to listening to these narrators and they did great protraying these wonderful characters. Highly recommend this great audiobook!!
