Balance Threatened

Unyielding Fates Trilogy, Book 1

De: Jenn D. Young

Narrado por: Bridget Bordeaux, Jake Bordeaux

I am not supposed to exist—my parents murdered for their forbidden union. I’m a creature born of light and dark, of Heaven and Hell, and it's up to me to hold these fragile worlds together. And I’m back here, where I never thought I’d be, surrounded by devastatingly handsome males who’d give their lives for me. And all I want to do is go home, back to earth, but the balance has been threatened and I’m the only one who can set it right.

Who’d have thought an aberration like me would be the chosen one? I must learn to control my unruly powers so we can fight our enemies and uphold the scales...only everything in us is trying to pull us apart. I need my mates to win this battle, and my heart wants them for completely different reasons, but will we succeed or will the balance be shattered forever?

Good one

Angels and demons… what else do you need? This was a good start to a series and I loved it! The storyline was interesting and had me hooked! I definitely recommend this one!

3 star listen

Good start to a series, looking forward to the next instalment. It is written quite differently to the other rh audio books I’ve listened too. Fated mates with Insta love due to the mate bond. Even tho one has been in her life since she was born. I’m not sure I’ll understand that but let’s see how it goes. This one ends in a decent hook.
Audio narration fits the book well.

𝗣𝗢𝗩: Multiple, Duet Narration
𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁: Audiobook

This story absolutely had me hooked right from the beginning. Atalante, or Lana as she prefers, never has fit in. It might be the fact that her eyes are each a different color, or that her hair is black on one side and white on the other, or it could be that she is the only demon and angel hybrid ever to be born.

I listened to this one on audiobook and I absolutely loved everything about it. The narrators did a wonderful job of being the story to life and I loved the duet narration.

I loved this story so much, and I cannot wait to see what happens next.

One problem!

I don’t like the fact that she gets put asleep for 3 years and the guys go on to party and have sex with each other. I loved the box other than that.

Great world-building, fun read!!

Angels, demons, a magic academy and a reluctant heroine? What’s not to like here?! So much drama, danger, betrayal ... all the makings of a fun, twisty world.


💙 Detailed world-building.
⚖ Advanced character development.
💙 Magic.
⚖ Betrayal, lies, deceit.
💙 Lots of witty banter.
⚖ Angels.
💙 Demons.
⚖ So much scheming.
💙 Reverse harem.
⚖ Alternating POVs between many parties.
💙 Good vs. evil / balance struggle.


I always love a book where Satan and/or Lilith have big roles. Overall, the writing is good, I’m always up for a Jenn D. Young read! Overall: 4 stars.

Audio:
Bridget was amazing, as always. Jake could sound a bit robotic, not optimal. Together though, they manage to sound like a full cast—they make a great team.
The overall sound quality is perfect. 🦩 4 stars.

Balance Threatened

well, I got to say this is a really good start to a series. It been a while since I listened to a good Angel and Demon 😈 book. so one girl and 4 mates, but one mate is bad, but is he really 🤔 hmm I wonder. But I do think that mate is going about it the wrong way. will her other mates find her or will she be kept away from them all? 🤔 😕 what will happen? I guess we just have to wait and find out in the next book.

Mixed feelings

First of all narrators are amazing. I am always ready to dive into to anything they add their voices too because they are truly talented people! Had it been subpar narration I don’t think I would have finished this book.

The story line has major potential but the main character is a bit much. She’s lacking depth and acts more like an insolent child or a wishy washy one at best and there are parts that I skipped 30 seconds to a minute because she was back to oh I can’t but I want to but I can’t about certain characters.

I feel like the story line has amazing potential and a lot of first books in series have a slower pace as you set the back ground. I love the forbidden love that produces an offspring unlike the world has seen.

Hoping for more out of book two because there was enough here to make me want to see where it’s going.

Such an Interesting Storyline

5/5 ⭐

This is my first book by Jenn D Young and it definitely won't be my last! I met her at LoveNSeattle, she seemed so sweet and her books looked really interesting, so when a chance to review the audio came up I scrambled for the chance and I'm so happy I did! Add in the fact that the King and Queen of romance audio, Jake and Bridget Bordeaux, were narrating this series, I was in paranormal, why choose heaven.

I absolutely loved the concept for this story. Angels and Demons co-existing, but not exactly friends... In comes an "abomination" half angel, half demon that is prophesized to be the savior ends up with an angel and a demon fated mate. Add in Andres, the smexy headmaster and best friend of her dad's, and we get a little taboo too.

I really loved all of our main characters and adored Gabe and Ezra's relationship. Even the change that happens from the beginning to when they find out Andres is Lana's mate as well was so sweet. I really just loved these four.

The end was a bit wild and the cliffhanger has me itching to dive back in. I can't wait to see what happens in this series.

Hoping for a great series

This book has a lot of potential. Love all the men but the heroine has not shown us why she’s is the strongest and suppose to save the world. She’s hasn’t do much but give up herself in the beginning. When she wakes up, all I see is her trying to get with her mates. I don’t really see the chemistry with her and the men much but I am hoping for a better next book. Bridget and Jake did an excellent job at narrating

Balance Threatened

Lana is 1/2 angel, 1/2 demon and had a rough time since losing her parents. He world gets turned upside when she comes into her powers and meets her fated mates. She is part of a prophecy that says she will help maintain the balance. There are tons of secrets surrounding who killed her parents, plus a mystery behind one of mates and his true motives. The performance of the narrators was absolutely amazing and helped enhance an already interesting plot. #TheFlockVIPReviewTeam
