About this listen
Asmodeus (Deus)
Some call me a villain.
Some call me a hero.
But I really just want Ellison to call me a sexy beast.
It all starts when I’m tasked with keeping my new BFFs alive on a camping trip. Easy, right?
Wrong.
One thing leads to another, and suddenly, there’s a target on Ellison’s head. The problem is that I’ve never been incapable of finding my mark before. How exactly do you find someone who you can’t see? You can’t hear? A person you can’t find until they’re right there?
But I will find them because they’ve never met someone like me.
Don’t worry, keeping my friends safe and saving inconsequential humans (mostly by accident) comes at a small price (maybe around $62,332.69 if I decide to charge for having to hear Landon rave about books).
But getting prim and proper Ellison to fall in love with me?
Priceless.
Ellison
As someone who has always worked from the sidelines, I’m reluctantly drawn out into the spotlight alongside Asmodeus after being attacked. Asmodeus is determined to keep me safe, but at what cost?
I’ve done everything alone for my entire life, but why is it that I can’t look away from him (even when he’s shooting the world’s(?) largest ball of yarn)? Asmodeus sees past my aloof persona and makes me willing to take some risks and break some rules.
But I’m terrified that all of this is going to destroy the happiness he’s brought me.
And I need to fight, not only for myself but for our future together.

There was endless repetition of their inner trauma dialogue, but that was about it! And they were both so disconnected from their feelings that I couldn't tell whether they even liked each other when the romance elements started to be introduced; I didn't really care that much about Ellison because I couldn't get a handle on him, and Diaz was similar....I liked them both more in the previous book tbh.
To be fair, I didn't finish the book, maybe things improve, but the fact I don't really care when I usually would with an Alice Winters book speaks volumes. Ugh, so disappointed!
I think this suffered from trying to fit too much into the plot, not having enough emotional depth or nuance to the characters, and having the pace of the book feel like a jolting, broken rollercoaster rather than a streamlined ride. I also ended up skipping a lot of parts with Ellison's mother because it quickly went beyond uncomfortable to listen to and into intolerable, without really adding anything important to the narrative.
Maybe I'll try again in a few months to get through this book, but right now, I need a break!
