About this listen
My coven has remained hidden in the shadows for centuries.
We’ve avoided the ‘real world’ altogether - hiding from monsters and other creatures we share this planet with.
We found protection in the Colville National Forest, nestled in a town protected by magical barriers.
Our powers are locked by an ancient curse, one meant to protect us from being found.
Until now.
The past has a way of repeating itself. A new game is beginning. No one is safe.
He’s coming for me.
He’s hunting.
The monster we’ve run from for centuries has found us.
How far will this deadly game go?
How far will I be able to take it, or will he destroy me and everything I care about?
Will the one thing I can’t live without be the key to destroying and undoing the past?
Or will the past destroy me before I can save the people I love from what I’ve done?
Warning: Intended for listeners 18 and older.
About the hero: Chances are you may not fall instantly in love with him, that’s because I don’t write men you instantly love; you grow to love them. I don’t believe in instant love. I write flawed, raw, caveman-like assholes who eventually let you see their redeeming qualities. They are aggressive, assholes, and one step above a caveman when we meet them. You may not even like him by the time you finish this audiobook, but I promise you will love him by the end of this series.
About the heroine: There is a chance that you might think she’s a bit naïve, or weak, but then again who starts out as a badass?
Badasses are a product of growth and I am going to put her through hell, and you get to watch her come up swinging every time I knock her on her ass. That’s just how I do things. How she reacts to the set of circumstances she is put through may not be how you, as the listener, or I, as the author, would react to that same situation. Everyone reacts differently to circumstances and how Magdalena responds to her challenges is how I see her as a character and as a person. I don’t write love stories: I write fast-paced, knock you down, make you sit on the edge of your seat wondering what happens next books. If you’re looking for cookie-cutter romance, this isn’t for you. If you can’t handle the ride, unbuckle your seat belt and get out of the roller-coaster car now. If not, you’ve been warned. If nothing outlined above bothers you, carry on and enjoy the ride!

Very steamy: The story takes awhile to get going, a slow start, but once the steam picks up, it is 'destroy the house' type of steam. With a well-endowed, possessive, alpha male lead. And despite her lack of experience, our main female character does catch up. A good part of the storyline involves trying to eliminate the concept of 'all right' or 'it was ok' and replace it with more steamy versions of life experiences. There's a LOT of swapping between hate and love as everyone tries to understand their emotions.
Paranormal: Taking place in the same world as Synthia and Ryder's Destiny storyline, we've got fae, vampires, demons, Lucifer, witches, mages, rebirth of souls, and who knows what else.
Performance: I neither hate nor love the narrators. They aren't at the 'OMG, best ever!' but they are pleasant to listen to with (mostly) the right emotions at the right places. The recordings were done with professional sounding equipment without echoes or other issues. One problem I have is keeping track of what is said 'out loud' and what is said within their heads,
World-building: I love Amelia Hutchins' world building. There are multiple characters, factions, types of whatever going on... and honestly, this story makes more sense within the world and avoids spoilers for other books, if you follow Amelia Hutchins' suggested reading order, this would be book 6:
Fighting Destiny - Ryder and Synthia
Taunting Destiny - Ryder and Synthia
Escaping Destiny - Ryder and Synthia
Seducing Destiny - Ryder and Synthia
A Demon’s Dark Embrace - Ristan and Olivia
Playing with Monsters - Lucian and Lena
Warnings: Bad things happen in this book, including, but not limited to non-consensual sex, death, murder, sex, destruction. This is not a light and feel good romance. It ends on a cliffhanger.
Very steamy paranormal demon romance

Wow💘

But I loved the voice of Lucian, sexy as hell but not the voice of Magadlene in book 2 - it lacked soul.
Overall because of the confusion this was not an enjoyable series, way too much work for listeners struggling to work out who was who and back stories eg Grandmother, Tabitha. Lots of interesting stories just ignored.
DISAPPOINTED.
A major mistake to list the series book 2 as nbr 1
