About this listen

She's his obsession... and for her, he's willing to risk it all. The niece to one of the richest men in London, Harper's entire life has been controlled since her very first breath. Constantly under scrutiny from her ruthless family and their controversial church, she's had to fight for what little privacy she has. On the outside she was privileged and obedient, but in reality all she's ever dreamed about was breaking free from her gilded cage.

Until one night she allows her desire to take control, and taste life without expectation. One sin, and now the escape she's carefully planned for the past ten years has begun crumbling around her.

Tasked with infiltrating one of the cruellest families in the city, Sythe didn't think he'd run into any complications. Then there was her, the niece to his target, and the woman who's left him wanting more after one of the most intimate experiences of his life. Harper embodies everything he resents, yet his fixation becomes an unwelcome distraction. Until he realises they have a common goal, then that addiction burns into something more.

Amidst bloodthirsty Daemons, a fanatical faith set on eradicating all Breed, and a man lusting after power without a care for consequences, Sythe must navigate dark secrets and twisted lies to fulfil his mission and exact revenge.

Will he complete his objective and take down the family?

Or will he forsake it all for her?

This book is non stop action from the beginning. I loved the storyline and how the characters fell for each other. A brilliant performance.

This is Book 5 in the Curse of the Guardian series! Even though they are interconnected I've read them in order and think you get the most out of them by reading them all, though I'll admit I skipped the last book and was fine for this one!
I enjoyed some of my favorite tropes:
• Forbidden Love
• Found Family
• Burn the World
• Fated Mates
The narrators did a good job but I do like these particular ones rather fast at nearly 2x. FLOCKVIP!

Sythe and Harper
