The Predator

Dark Verse, Book 1

De: RuNyx

Narrado por: Kai Kennicott, Michael Pierce

What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object in the field of death?

In the dark underbelly of the mob, Tristan Caine has been an anomaly. As the only non-blooded member in the high circle of the Tenebrae Outfit, he is an enigma to all. His skills are unparalleled, his morality is questionable, and his motives are unknown. He is lethal and he knows it.

As does Morana Vitalio, the genius extraordinaire daughter of the rival family. What Caine does with weapons, Morana does with computers. When a twenty-year-old mystery resurfaces, Morana infiltrates Caine's house, intent on killing him, unaware of a tie that binds them together. Hate, heat, and history clash together with unexpected sparks.

But something bigger, something worse is happening in their world. And despite their animosity, only they can fight it down.

3 Stars the same thing being said in 3 ways

The storyline was good, but the author’s tendency to repeat the same idea three times in slightly different ways really took away from the flow and impact of the story.

Loved

Wonderful start to what is sure to be an exciting series!! I have fallen in love with Tristan and Morana! They are amazingly strong and yet relatable characters. This book had some steamy moments and yet still managed to have a slow burn feel. I cannot wait to see these two burn hotter!! Audiobook was great!

A Decent Read

I was expecting a bit more from this, but it was definitely worth a credit and I will
be getting the next books as well. The book is narrated as a 3rd person perspective by one girl (voicing both female and male characters) which didn’t bother me at all. I typically avoid non duet pov audiobooks like the plague because Haunting Adeline’s narrators spoiled me, but the female voice actor was able to perfectly voice both parts. Story is decent.

Dark Romance

The mystery, the tension, and the angst all have me in a chokehold! Tristan and Morana’s chemistry is too good to deny. I love the suspense of this story and how each chapter builds to something bigger. This book has all of my favorite tropes! Enemies to lovers, “touch her you die”, mafia, etc

I. Love. Runyx
