Heartless Heathens

A Gothic Romance

By: Santana Knox

Narrated by: Corvin King, Celia Stone

Hey,

Over here. No, look up.

Yeah, I’m the one they talk about. The headmaster’s prized possession, locked away in the bell tower of the abandoned church. To most of the students I’m just a myth. An urban legend. The girl who rings the bells up in the tower, the one who talks to gargoyles.

The Archbishop’s secret.

Then they showed up, those heathens. Outcasts, just like me. But these men aren’t just dangerous, they’re heartless. They don’t abide or bend to the rules of this deranged school and the secrets it keeps from the world.

Now that they’ve found me, they may never let me go… and maybe, I wouldn’t want them to.

I’m still left breathless, never thought I’d ever listen to a book like this but I need more, just amazingly written. Thank you so much.

Filth… 😝

This was absolutely filthy… and I don’t want to ever be cleaned 🤣
A fantastic gothic dark romance, the narrators were perfect (I just wish it was duet style).
Even though this was mostly smut I did love the underlying theme of how childhood trauma effects adulthood. And the effects of cult like entities has on mental health of its followers.

Corvin King Never Disappoints

I've been wanting to read this for a while now and I'm glad I finally did! I thought the storyline and religious trauma was very interesting to read about.. also who doesn't love a why choose! There were some parts, especially in the beginning when the boys threw themselves at her when she didn't really know what was happening that was a little uncomfy but she was enjoying herself and I love that for her

Yes

Loved this! Different storyline from all the other books in this genre covering politics and religion. It was great. Be sure to listen to all content warning/triggers.

I found FMC likable although there were times I wanted to shout at her for not telling Sunny off or giving him a good slap in the face on more than one occasion but given her past I understand her inability to be assert and stand up to him. MMC's are 'lightly' morally gray two of which offer a bit more empathy especially with FMC. Never found a space in my heart for Sunny but that's ok loved the book all the same. Love all the spice!! Yes yes yes!

I thought the male narrator has a great voice and does great acting only thing is he tends to mumble at times so sometimes I'd have to go back and re-listen to a line. The female narrators was okay I just really hated the way she would narrator the MMC's. She sounded so bubbly when she would narrator them which is such a contrast to the male character's personalities and the darker vibe of this book it just killed it. This audible would have been way better as a duo. I just dont get why they have male and female narrators for a book without it being a duo??

Nonetheless highly recommend this book and hope author puts out more why choose on audible as I think this is her only one.

Love it!

Highly entertaining, with suspense, intrigue, and many twists and turns. It is about a girl kept isolated from the world by a religious man with a hidden agenda. He had her in a tower until the rightful heirs showed up to take possession of their place. The narration was spectacular.
