Bound by Shadows

Ashen Grove University, Book 1

De: K.T. Maddan

Narrado por: Oscar Reyes, Ash Kingsley

Flunking out of my dream school wasn't part of the plan.

Now, I'm stuck at a place that feels more like a prison than a second chance. There are too many secrets hidden in these halls, and the only thing I care about is surviving the year. But then the murders start—brutal, cold-blooded, and too close to ignore.

Suddenly, I'm caught in something far bigger than I ever imagined—a web of lies, power, and danger that's tightening around me. And at the center of it all? Four dangerously irresistible men: Silas Morgan, Dayton Hughes, Kai Reynolds, Levi Thompson. All of them hell-bent on keeping me close.

In a world like this, love is lethal, and trust? That might just be what gets me killed.

Audiobook review:

Ash Kingsley & Oscar Reyes were immaculate in their performances of bringing Sable and the four horsemen to life.
The FMC, Sable, is starting her junior year at a new college and runs into some familiar faces from her past. They are all drawn to her and Sable just wants to be left alone. Now, she’s caught between Silas, her childhood rival and crush, and his Delta Sigma Nu brothers. Dayton and Levi are step-brothers.. we learn more about the boys past. They are each starting to open their walls beside Levi. He’s still stand offish.
Kai feels more for Levi than Levi does for Kai. Daytons relationship with Sable is the only one who seems real like he really cares for her. There’s a murder mystery in the background. Evidence/clues point to the DSN guys and everyone starts blaming them. ‼️ENDS ON A CLIFFHANGER‼️

🔥🔥🔥

I already read this book but when I saw the audiobook dropped I had to listen to it. This audiobook did not disappoint. The narrators were absolute perfection. They were exactly what I heard in my head when I first read this book.

I devoured this book. Sable and her men are HOT!

Sable transfers schools after an incident. There she is caught up in a murder mystery with a childhood friend/rival, Silas. She discovers there are many more secrets the revolve around her and Silas. The banter and steam in this story made it very difficult to put down. The cliff-hanger was not as shocking as I expected, BUT I have more questions because of the ending.

The narrators doing a great job bringing this story to life!!

Amazing Audio!

I knew this audiobook wouldn't disappoint! Oscar effortlessly transitioned between characters, and both Ash and Oscar truly brought the story to life. Their performance made it feel like I was experiencing the book for the first time, even though I've already read it. This was an incredible audio experience, and I can't wait to hear them bring Shattered by Light (Book 2) to life as well!

0 Stars for the performance

The male characters narrating were fast reading through it. No periods, commas, or any punctuation what's so ever. I even tried slowing it down lol
