Digital Hearts

Late Night Ambitions

De: Eden Redd

Narrado por: Anneliese Rennie

Morgan is an excellent commander and soldier in a time of digital war games. When it comes to dating, not so much.

When he and his friends are invited to a secret life and romance simulation game, the players join hoping they can earn some much needed virtual vacation time.

Little do they know how deep the rabbit hole goes. A digital sleepy seaside town turns into a journey of dating, lewd perversions, monsters, cults, and a shot glass of dark humor. Morgan must navigate his new digital lifestyle, earn his way to a better life, find love and control his darker impulses crawling under his skin before it's too late.

Warning: Digital Hearts: Late Night Ambitions is a story for mature adults, 18 and over. It contains monsters, bizarre dating rituals, murder, lewd acts, secret societies, twisted romance, and funny simulated lives. If you ever wanted to dive into the dark underbelly of life simulation games, this is a story for you.

interesting idea

I'm not a prude but it felt like some of the sex was unnecessary and Erotic asphyxiation is not my thing. If you want a tally of attributes you have to keep it yourself. And *spoiler*
why doesn't the detective come back?

Interesting concept

This book was as but if a challenging listen for me. I enjoyed the plot. The main character was well developed and complex. But the narrator was disconcerting. First I'm not find of narrator of a different gender than the main character. Then, I found it annoying that the tone and pace never changed... not even during the violence or the sex scenes. It's very much someone reading the book out loud. And coming back to the adult ckntent, I found it rather gratuitously sprinkled through the book at random points. Little build up of tension and a tendency towards stumbling upon orgies... I found it didn't really add to the plot, and it didn't work as erotica either since the scenes rapidly move back to plot details. Overall, I liked the concept and the plot.

good read

Excellent story, the audible voices were fantastic. I enjoyed this story very much. I would recommend this story.

Came for the gameplay, stayed for the clown porn

So this story clearly draws inspiration from The Sims, which was an interesting choice. Personally, I enjoyed it. Fair warning, the entire story centers around dating and sex. If you like that sort of thing, you can't go wrong with Digital Hearts.

Anneliese Rennie did a superb job, as always.

Lots of dark and lewd, not so much funny

This audiobook wasn't quite what I was expecting. Based on the cover, I expected more fun, and not so much murder, darkness, and confusing mayhem. I really would have liked more backstory of the world and it's characters before they enter Digital Hearts. I had a hard time relating to the characters. I seem to be in the minority, so take a look at the other reviews and make sure this futuristic, weird, dystopian story is for you before you before you purchase. BTW, there is plenty of sex, and the players say I love you, but love seems to mean killing someone on your behalf. No romance or sweetness. I don't think I am the target audience, and I definitely won't be listening to this one again.

The narration was pretty good, easy to distinguish different voices, and well paced.

I received a free copy of this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this honest review.
