Resumen del Editor

I have no intention of being anyone’s bride, let alone fighting tooth and nail to get there.

All the vicious catfights in the school nauseate me. I have bigger things to worry about, like being hunted by my father, who’s getting closer every day.

Yet no one leaves me alone. The princes believe I’m playing hard to get, so they pursue me fiercely. When they realize that I’m not as ambitious or smitten as the other girls, they place a bet—whoever claims my virginity takes it all.

Their stupid vanity game paints a target on my back—all the bride candidates join forces to come after me, cleverly planning my demise. I might be an apex predator, but I’m one against a thousand of the meanest “coyotes.”

To make sure I live through the game, Killian offers to train me. The chemistry between us cuts through every obstacle and tears down our own defenses.

We should know what’s good for us. We should stay the hell away from each other. He’s still the forbidden fruit. If I taste him, we’ll burn, and the world will burn with us.

But I can’t stop...

Fabulous story!

Wow, this series just keeps getting better and better! I found this story to be very well written. This book has action, mystery, adventure, intrigue and very interesting/ entertaining. The content of this book is definitely not intended for customers under the age of 18.
I enjoyed listening to this story. The narrator does a magnificent job with the story. She does a wonderful job with the characters and their voice making it easy to distinguish between the characters.
I definitely recommend this book. It is so good!

Twists of Fate and Forbidden Flames

In this gripping sequel, Barbie is entangled in the perilous Bride Trials, attracting unwanted attention from her peers and princely suitors alike. Her father's looming threat raises the stakes, forcing her to navigate a treacherous path of survival and alliances. Her intricate dance with Killian, marked by undeniable chemistry, adds a thrilling layer of forbidden romance. Despite some narrative shortcomings and underdeveloped characters, Victoria Mei's compelling narration brings the characters to life, skillfully conveying the story's tension, humor, and emotional depth. The cliffhanger ending left me on edge, eager to see how the saga unfolds. A compelling blend of action, intrigue, and evolving relationships, elevated by Mei's dynamic performance, makes this installment a captivating listen.

Slow...

The books have a good storyline, it's just that it moves SO slow that they all feel like filler books and when the action really starts the book ends.

Thrilling ride

Book #2 in the Shades of Ruin & Magic and absolutely amazing. I had no doubt what so ever that this book was going to be good. Meg did a wonderful job with this story and once again the narration was in point.

first time listening to this author, I'm hooked!

🅰🆄🅳🅸🅾🅱🅾🅾🅺 🆁🅴🆅🅸🅴🆆

This is my first time listening or reading a Meg Xuemei book, and I'm wondering what took me so long!

Very interesting concept for this fantasy/PNR. Imagine the Bachelor meets Fae/Shifters/magic.

Narration by Victoria Mei, who voiced the funny and snarky Barbie and her darker alter ego, as well as all the other characters.

I didn't listen to book one but will be looking out for the audio so I can get caught up and help me understand the setup. I have no doubt I'll be impatiently waiting for the next installment in audio because this book dropped a bomb and placed out with that cliffhanger!

I'll for sure be devouring this authors backlog on audio!

Better Character Talk

The way the female character talks to the others- "good sir" and corky one liners. It makes the main female cringe worthy to listen to. The book would be great if she talked like a normal adult.
