Kaden

Archer High, Book 2

De: Linzvonc

Narrado por: Amanda Willow, Sean Masters

After what happened with my ex, I swore off women. No distractions. No weakness.

But then she walked in—raven hair, red lips, and a look that promised destruction.

One night was all it took.

Now I can’t get her out of my system.

Then I find out who she is… and just how dangerous her world really is.

She’s off-limits. Tied to people who want her dead.

But I won’t let her go.

Not when she’s mine to protect.

Not when she could be my ruin.

KADEN is a gritty, explosive mafia romance with dark themes and a protective anti-hero who will burn the world for the woman he shouldn’t want.

The narrators shined!

I enjoyed the audiobook performance but struggled with the story. The ages of the characters and the actions just did not line up. High school kids acting and speaking like adults in their 30's kept taking me out of the story. I think it would have been fine if they were college seniors, but every time I was able to get into the story there was a high school reminder, despite minimal parts of the story happening in school.

Kaden, Darling :)

I did like Wolf but Kaden is crushing some book boyfriend dreams. :) Love the Mafia storyline. The voice actors were amazing. On to Jagger….!!

amazing duet

the audio was amazing! Masters and Willow did amazing with this duet. I definitely recommend you take a listen!

Sean Masters is the only reason I listened...

*spolier alert*
I'm confused. So this mafia princess, Aphrodite, is starting at a new in high school after an unexplained move away from home. She meets Kaden, a broody, gorgeous guy who she sleeps with 12 seconds after meeting him (we find out later she's quite the slut). They have lots of sex, then her safety is compromised, so she's moved to a snowy cabin, and this teenage-something Kaden goes to protect her. Somehow he barks orders like he's the boss and can out maneuver trained bodyguards. "Aph" drugs Kaden then decides to leave because nothing starts a good kidnapping scene like a dingbat chick who makes stupid decisions then is shocked when she's kidnapped.
Her captor is her rival who faked her death and is upset Aph slept with her...cousin? I guess. Then Kaden bursts in, guns blazing, and she's saved.
There wasnt a plot until halfway through the story and it's left on a cliffhanger. Sean Masters was outstanding as usual, but the story itself was a dud.

so good

I just finished listening to the ALC for Kaden and SHEESH!

Amanda Willow and Sean Masters KILLED IT! You can hear the tension, and the snarkiness (looking at you, Aphrodite!). They brought Kaden and Aphrodite to life in the best way! I always know it's gonna be great when Sean is narrating. And I've recently discovered Amanda and am loving going through her books!

Kaden is fast paced, dark, hot and steamy and had me emotional by the end!

I LOVED Aphrodite as an fmc! She's strong and independent, and i love how sassy she is!

The two of them have such stong characters. But they kind of melt each other a bit. And the way Kaden loves this woman... all the swoons.

Forbidden, forced proximity, dark academia, touch her and die, spice... this had everything! I 100% recommend this audiobook
