Nemesis

Sterling Falls Rogues, Book 1

De: S. Massery

Narrado por: Michelle Sparks, Teddy Hamilton, Connor Crais, Aaron Shedlock

A new darkness is seeping into Sterling Falls, and I’ve drawn its ire.

When a masked stranger declares he wants our ruin—mine, my brother’s, the whole town’s—I hope he’s bluffing.

A series of escalating events later, and it’s clear the threat is very present.

It’s not only present, but it drags up old nightmares from my past.

To keep my beloved city safe, I need to find this masked man and eliminate the threat.

I can’t do it on my own, but the three men poised to help are the ones I am almost certain I can’t trust.

Kade Laurent, the elusive and thrilling newcomer, leverages Olympus to get close to me.

Reese Avery, a ghost from my past, brings with him the trauma I’ve tried to bury. But he says he’s here to make amends…

Saint Hart, the partner of my dead best friend, and I will never get along. Especially since I’ve been tasked with keeping him alive. At least, I was convinced we were going to be mortal enemies forever—until we hate-screw in my kitchen…

Now things are all messed up, and I don’t know who I can rely on.

All I want is peace, but with danger climbing around me, it seems I’m destined for the opposite.

Speechless

This book left me speechless and wondering what just happened! I loved the build up of the story line knowing there are two more books to come! Their chemistry with each other and the pull of wanting to hate each other and like each other is real! I can’t wait to see what the next one brings!!!

Part 1

To start, this new series builds off a previous one, Sterling Falls, from S. Massery. While I have not read that series yet, I wasn’t too lost in piecing together what had happened in those books. There is influence, but I feel like I was given enough information to figure it out and let the story of these characters take over.
Moving on - this is dark and has some heavy topics. Do not take that lightly. Artemis is dealing with a lot and I love her for that. Add in complicated relationships with Reese, Kade, and Saint, and she is in for a wholeeee lot. Their story continues in three more books, it's that much! This wasn’t as spicy as I have seen other S. Massery books, so I know that it is just starting up. But I am inexplicably drawn to it all.
⭐️Why choose
⭐️Dark romantic suspense
⭐️Emotional scars and tragic pasts
⭐️Hate to love

Nemesis

Uuugggghhhhh so much! I hate how involved I was in this world. On to the next....

Spin off series

If you haven’t read the Sterling Falls series, one might be little lost (me). Even though I haven’t read that series, I was given just enough information to be informed and how the events related to the situation.
Besides all the above, this book was engaging, suspenseful, narrators are AWESOME!
But the ENDING… I need the second book.

What Is Even Happening....In A Good Way

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🌶️🌶️🌶️

This book made me mad because WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT ENDED LIKE THAT?! 😱 I guess jokes on me for not realizing it would end on a cliffhanger. But dang! Kade has some explaining to do. And what are the chances that Saint has loved Artemis for longer than we know? And is Kade in love with Reese? I need answers! July can’t come soon enough!

Teddy Hamilton and Connor Crais are always automatic narrators for me and Michelle Sparks and Aaron Shedlock were a great addition to this cast.

Why I love Cliffies, I’ll never know. But I love it.

OMG! Cliffie hanging - Why do I love them so much…when they hurt so much! 😭😂! I knew I was going to love Tem, and in turn whatever man/men lived up to her greatness. But I am obsessed with these characters. I need the next book ASAp! The duet narration with a full cast is amazing 🤩.

Be prepared for dark, love/hate filled scenes, obsession that you can’t escape and new groups in Sterling Falls that will have you on the edge of your seat. Olympus is going to be challenged.

so many scenes where nothing happened

there were way to many scenes where people would end up in a room together, would look at eachother, consider eachother, and then nope out and leave. what is even the point?! such filler nonsense. also, why is the word cyclops so hard to pronounce? the male narrators got it just fine but the female narrator has never heard the word before I guess and no one corrected her and they just ran with it. so distracting. Just skip this book. great narrators, terrible writing.
