Publisher's summary

One word could kill them all.
That's what I was warned about after the first accident when I killed my family's allies. My powers manifested too young.

Powers I never asked for.

I can connect with the realm of the dead. My medium?

My voice.

And so I don't talk. Ever. Not to anyone—except my sister, of course. She's the only reason I'm not utterly insane after a lifetime spent hiding.

In the darkness.

In silence.

Under a shroud of loneliness with only the dead for company.

Until I meet them.

Jasper.

Kornelius.

Zyran.

Three sinfully gorgeous vampires without a House who I don't trust.

Because my words didn't kill them when they came for me.

My time spent hiding is over, because now all of the Houses know about me.

And I can choose to run or I can scream.

Taste Me is a spicy standalone romance with obsessively protective mates. These psychotic vampires will guide Ishara on a road of self-acceptance and forgiveness, but not before breaking down her emotional walls. There will be biting. There will be darkness. And there will be blood. Listener discretion is advised.

Will be re-reading this frequently.

🥀 “Nature and flowers are the essence of life, untouched by lost souls.”
—Issy 🥀

While I love lots of Thorn’s strong, powerful, sassy female leads, Issy may be a fave—her attitude, her plight, and so much more about her felt so relatable, which definitely made for a more personal reading experience. Perfect when getting lost into a dark read, IMO. Oh and she’s described as ‘curvy’.

The crossover with Claim Me was beyond fun—as an obsessed fan of all things Foss, getting a bit more of Fallon and Ayla only added to the fun and the continuity seemed on-point.


🖤 Written in first-person POV, with alternative perspectives.
🖤 This is a standalone read that fits nicely into its shared world and features:

🩸 D3@th magic, d3@th witch.
🪦 Fated m@tes.
🩸 Rejected m@tes.
🪦 Mysteries—in magic / supernatural nature.
​​🩸 Epic world-building and collaborating (with other authors/books in this world).
🪦 Vampires (actually “necromancy/vampire hybrids”).
🩸 Bl00d play, ců11ing.
🪦 Ch0king. B0ndage. Saf3 w0rd.
🩸 Betrayal, massive conflicts, politics.
🪦 RH … with brothers.
🩸 Protective måt3s.
🪦 Spells.
🩸 Vi0lence, gore (sooo well-described).
🪦 Vengeance...

… and so much more!


🥀 “Never again will I be so suppressed and hidden.” 🥀

‘Taste Me’ and ‘Claim Me’ sort-of work together to depict generations-long trauma cycles, the power a strong support system can instill, and strong female leads claiming back their power and breaking harmful cycles, leaving the world better than they found it. Absolutely brilliant—I could never properly express their greatness. So well done.



*I read from both the eBook and the paperback, both versions are absolutely stunning. Pure eye-candy if you like your books pretty like I do.

*🎧 Audio:
A flawless production with an all-star cast and beautiful narration. Excellent continuity too as if my memory is correct Fallon’s voice matched her own book (Claim Me by Lexi C. Foss). I cannot recommend this edition or its cast enough. 🦩

I liked the story line as for the chemistry, it needs work. Both narrators did an excellent job at narrating.

Dark Paranormal Reverse Harem Romance

Taste Me by J.R. Thorn is a dark paranormal reverse harem romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Troy Duran, Jeffrey Holz, Gregory Salinas, Maeve York, and Lisa Zimmerman. This book is set in the Immortal Vices and Virtues universe and can be read as a standalone.

This is the first book of J.R. Thorn's that I have read, and it won't be my last. I really enjoyed the relationship between Issy, Jasper, Kornelius, and Zyran. I loved getting all of their points of views throughout the book. It really brought the story to life.

Troy, Jeffrey, Gregory, Maeve, and Lisa did an amazing job on the narration. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.

I would recommend this book if you're looking for a paranormal romance, why choose romance, or romantic suspense.

Loved it! Read Claim me by Lexi Floss first :)

I have loved this entire series thus far, but I think this audiobook and Lexi Floss' "Claim Me" are my favorites. The two books are about twins, Fallon and Izzy. Listen to "Claim Me" first. That book is about Fallon. In a nutshell, the Patriarch of witches have suppressed the female witches of their coven because the females are more powerful. They basically take them at birth and suppress their powers by putting them under compliance spells and force mating them to coven members. They are then cyphoned for their powers to make the Patriarch stronger. Fallon and Izzy are one of the most powerful witches born, and the Patriarch has used their love for each other to keep them under control. Fallon has a link to the dead, a bit like Necromancy. Similarly, Izzy is like a death siren, so she stays mute and communicates telepathically with Fallon. Fallon discovers she is mated to not 1, but 4 powerful entities. Being mating to these four allows her to start breaking the bonds she is under with the patriarchy. Things happen during Fallon's book that is linked to Izzy's, but Izzy's book (this one) starts up where Claim me left off. Fallon has her mates already and is mentioned quite a bit. In similar fashion, Izzy finds her mates in 3 vampire hybrid brothers, who each has a special gift related to death. They balance Izzy's magic. I think the storyline is unique and entertaining. Sexy times are quite spicy. I was excited to get Izzy's story after hearing so much about her in Fallon's book. The narrators are fantastic and I love this duet style, where each voice actor does their own speaking parts despite whichever POV the chapter is read from. Lisa Zimmerman narrated the females in both books and voiced multiple female voices. She did an mazing job!

I requested and received a free audio copy via the publisher, and I voluntarily wrote this honest review. #TheFlockVIPReviewTeam #PinkFlamingoProductions #PFPAudio
