A Dark New Adult Romance (Thorns Duet, Book 2)

De: Rina Kent

Narrado por: Teddy Hamilton, Rose Dioro, Jacob Morgan

A bet turned into a nightmare.

She broke my heart.
Broke me.
Broke us.
Only one thing could mend the gaping wound she left behind.
Her.
Naomi.
All mine for the taking.
All mine for owning.
All mine.

Black Thorns is a dark new adult book that contains dubious situations some listeners might find offensive and/or triggering.

This is the last part of a duet and is not stand-alone.

Excellent narrative performance

Fabulous actors, Teddy, Rose, and Jacob, brought Sebastian and Naomi's romance to life. This book takes place seven years later when Sebastian re-encounters Naomi and decides to insert himself in her life and husband's due her ill-fated departure. This was an angst, more emotional story with the usual dose of Kent mystery, and there is definitely more to it than an enemies to lovers match up.

I loved Sebastian's character and the re-introduction of favorites of past books including Ashe and Knox. And Nate just seemed heavenly. Less a fan of the heroine this time, especially after book one, though I loved the Japanese cultural references and their creative influences.

The three actors' portrayal of the main characters and influential Akira was sublime. Whether in character, switching to side characters, or simple narration of thoughts, they had huge range and excellent inflection so that everyone felt individual and distinct. Additionally, I liked the rendition of accents, light Japanese interlaced with American accents, though I can’t attest to their authenticity. Overall, I enjoyed the audiobook performance more than I could have achieved reading of the book itself, definitely produced a great mental depiction to further boost the story's appeal.

I loved it from start to end there was not any thing I didn't love about it

Loved the narrators!

Loved the story it was different and believable but the real cherry on top was the narration!

I liked this better than the first book

This was soooo much better than the first book. I liked that this wasn’t just a f.ck fest. It actually had more of a story to it. Not that the first one didn’t, it just didn’t give you enough. This one was much better. Really liked it.

Definitely Dark

I love Rina Kent, her stories are dark, twisted, and I always end up thinking “what’s happening here”. This duet wasn’t any different.

As with any Rina story, it’s not for the faint of heart. She helps you see that desires some think of as taboo exist, and it opens your mind to alternate possibilities.

My only reason for not giving five stars; I like her mafia storylines better. The narrators were good, but their voices were “younger sounding”, which made sense for the beginning, but for how ruthless some of the scenes were I think other voices could have made it more intense. Rose Dioro did a great job with an Asian accent, it sounded authentic, and her annunciation of Japanese terms was perfect

All in all totally worth the credits. Rina will always keep you guessing and wanting more! 🙌
