Treble

By: Irene Bahrd

Narrated by: Ryan Lee Dunlap, M.K. Blackwood

We all know the story.

Boy likes girl.

Boy stalks girl.

Girl knows she’s being stalked and is a little too into it.

That’s how it goes, right?

Keri is a talented cellist for a symphony orchestra with dreams of performing music for movies and television. When not one but two men in the ensemble begin stalking her, she turns the tables and accidentally becomes a stalker herself.

While Paul enjoys the thrill of the chase, Victor is determined to keep her for himself. With Keri starting her new job in Hollywood, will their obsessions end in a crescendo? Or does the novelty fade when you know you’re being followed?

Treble is a romantic parody intended for mature audiences.

“It’s adorable how the poor guy thinks I don’t know he watches me sleep.”

Ryan Lee Dunlap and M.K. Blackwood were absolutely fantastic, and I believe I have found a new favorite female narrator. I had a lot of fun listening to this story, and if it's possible, I now like it even more than I did when I read he ARC.

So many things go wrong in this story that it really made me think that this is what would probably happen if a regular person tried to live out their stalking fantasies in real life.

Victor and Keri are in the same orchestra. Victor is obsessed with Keri and indulges in some light stalking without knowing that Keri is fully aware of his stalker tendencies, and not only is she totally into it, but she does a little stalking of her own to throw him of his game. Now, little do they know, there is a third amateur stalker in the mix, and when they all come together, everything goes to shit.

This was a short fun read, and we were also introduced to some characters whose story I can't wait to read.

Quote: “My audition piece is ‘Do You Hear the People Sing’ from Les Misérables. I protest for women’s rights. Do you think I wouldn’t protest for my cunt’s rights too?”

Can't stop laughing

This book was dark, dangerous, and so off the wall ridiculous, and I loved every second of it! It was a stalker stalking a stalker, who also had a stalker. And also, one of the stalkers stalked the other stalker. It was a stalker cluster. And I was here for all of it. I had two complaints with this book, 1: It definitely wasn't long enough! and 2: The narrator had a lot of mouth sounds that I was distracted by. The book was delightful and funny, and not for the weak of stomach! (hint: don't eat a grasshopper pie a stranger gives you...) It was also steamy and included a bit of MFM, voyeurism, and fun shower times.
