Slow start, Fire ending

In my opinion this book started slowly, The build up of the characters and their story was long, and sometimes was a bit uninteresting (to me) but understandably now that i've finished the book.. At about 2/3 the way through things started to pick up. After that... This book gets your mind working, Things you thought you knew, are not. things you think will happen.. well I'll let you find out. The relationship between the two, the mind games, it keeps you on your toes for sure! The voice actors are spot on in this book, The real life emotions put into their reading definitely makes this book enjoyable to listen to. I think the book definitely had a good story line.

Such a fun ride!

This was sooo good. The suspense was top notch. Jacob Morgan and Samantha Brentmore are my dream team narrators. The chemistry of the characters. It was just a prefect blend of many things

Immersive, Twisted, and Perfectly Performed

Born, Darkly by Trisha Wolfe was my first psychological thriller, and it completely pulled me in from the very first chapter. The story is intense, layered, and constantly keeps you questioning what’s real, what’s manipulation, and who is truly in control.
The dynamic between criminal psychologist London Noble and convicted serial killer Grayson Pierce Sullivan is fascinating and unsettling in the best way. The mind games, moral ambiguity, and escalating tension create a story that feels both intelligent and unpredictable. Just when I thought I had the plot figured out, another twist would flip everything on its head.
The audiobook performance takes this story to an entirely new level. Samantha Brentmoor delivers an outstanding portrayal of London—confident, sharp, and emotionally complex. Her performance perfectly captures London’s intelligence and inner conflict as she navigates a dangerous psychological maze.
Jacob Morgan is equally captivating as Grayson. His voice work adds depth, charm, and menace to a character who is as compelling as he is unsettling. The duet narration creates incredible chemistry between the two characters, making the tension and push-and-pull dynamic feel incredibly immersive.
The trials and tests throughout the story are dark and cleverly constructed, and the ending left me immediately needing the next book. I finished this audiobook completely invested and eager to continue the series.
If you enjoy psychological thrillers with strong performances, complex characters, and unpredictable twists, Born, Darkly is absolutely worth the listen.
