Publisher's summary

The devil came to me in disguise. Too bad I didn’t notice until it was far too late.

Vanessa:

The devil doesn’t always wear an evil mask. Sometimes, he appears in the most beautiful form. Like the super-hot bad boy with the dirty-blond hair and a wicked glint in his blue eyes who swept in out of nowhere, stealing all the air from my lungs. I thought he was my savior. But he’s my ruination. And he’s just taken a machete to my heart.

Jackson:

For years, my rage seethed under the surface. Hidden behind a cloudy haze of my poison of choice. But now, the fog has cleared.
And I’m out for blood. I will annihilate those responsible for taking my sister from me. Except he’s not here, so I go for the next best target. The woman he abandoned. Until it suited him to drag her into this messed-up elite world. Sucks to be her. Because when I’m done with Vanessa, she’ll wish she was dead.

A stand-alone dark romance set in the Rydeville Elite world. You do not have to listen to the previous audiobooks in this series to enjoy this audiobook as it's a new couple and it ends with a HEA. Due to mature content and themes, this audiobook is recommended to readers aged 18 and over. Some scenes may be triggering.

Revengemies to Lovers

Jackson is a sexy rich boy with revenge on the brain and Vanessa has no idea who she is dealing with. This book brings so much plot, so much depth of character that this world of money and corruption feels so real.

This is dark and get only gets darker before the end. There are so many twists and turns you aren't sure hen you're safe or who you are safe with. The heat level is a solid 4. There is some very heavy material that is dealt with in this story. most of it is in memory or retelling of a past event. Some of these stories could be triggering.

Sarah and Jay are amazing. Jay sounded like a young hot rich guy that knew he had the world in the palm of his hand. And I've never heard Sarah not absolutely crush a role.

Loved the Jackson’s story but hated the male narrator.

Overall I loved this book. But ......The male narrator was horrible for this book. He sounded like a little boy and when he did Sawyer’s “voice” it made me cringe. I picture Jackson having a deeper intoxicating voice (Sebastian York, Troy Duran, and Jeremy York) not poindexter-ish.

Such a heart breaking story

I loved this story but the male narrator was really hard to listen to, the female was fantastic wish they would have just went with her.

Overall 4 STARS

I have to admit it took me a while to remember all the characters since it’s been a minute since I listened to the previous books. As with other books by this author it’s full of twists and want to toss your kindle moments. Jackson is out for revenge and Nessa is his way to achieve that. He doesn’t care if he hurts her or so he tells himself that. If you like books that are full of angst and where the road is bumpy then you’ll enjoy this book and the whole series.

Narration was perfect! It was easy to get pulled into the story. Every character had their own voice.

Audiobook Obsession VIP Reviewer

Whoa!

It's taking me time to figure out how to write my review for this book. The world Siobhan Davis has created is so dark, evil, and frightening. The evil made me want to be sick. Trigger Warning: Rape by step-father and his friends as well as sexual assault by her biological father. I cried, no sobbed, wondering HOW this could be written. Knowing that people have had to truly live this kind of depravity breaks me. I continued reading because there had to be a HEA. In real life, not so much. This was the first book for me to read/listen to by Siobhan Davis. I will definitely go back to book one to read more, as well as any other series tied to this world. I want to read more overcoming of evil. It will be great to get some of the other characters back stories. This book pulled me in. It was a great standalone, so I'm certain it's excellent as part of the series!

It was narrated by Sarah Puckett & JS Arquin. Sarah Puckett is a favorite narrator of mine. I love her voice so much. It's warm and smooth. She's an excellent performer. This is the first time I've heard JS Arquin. He has a great voice. He did a good job for most of his parts. I just couldn't stand how he voiced Hunt's voice. It didn't flow well at all. I think Arquin was attempting to make him more meek like? It just didn't work. Unfortunately Hunt was a pretty major character in this book. That's where a star is lost for this book.

Good story

I loved the Rydeville Elite series so I enjoyed getting to hear Jackson's story and hearing about others from the series while it is a standalone I think it would be enjoyed more if you start with book 1 of the series as the story does tie into each other and gives you a better idea about what's going on in the world they live in. The female narrator did an amazing job I did not care for the male narrator at all

Loved it!

I'm a huge fan of this series and wow the narrators were perfect! Absolutely love it.

Captivating!

This book pulled me in from the beginning I literally could not put it down. The plot was so interesting and the character development was amazing. I fell in love with both Jackson even though at times I wanted to give him a good kick. I love that Vanessa was a strong character. Jackson and Vanessa have amazing chemistry. This book is dark and lovely I absolutely loved every minute of it. I can't wait to go back and check out the rest of this series! 🎧AudioBoookObsessins 🎧PinkFlamingoProductions

Narrator issue

The story is awesome and the female narrator is amazing, but the male narrator was terrible. He was nasally, whiny, and he made Sawyer sound like he had a speech disorder. Had there been a better male narrator this would have been 5 stars.

Awful male narrator

Female narrator was amazing. But I almost couldn’t tolerate the squeaky, whiny, nasally voice of jay adler. It was like listening to the whiny kid at school complaining about everything. He shouldn’t narrate dark romance. It’s not his forte.
