Publisher's summary

Raised to rule the criminal underworld... Born to skate her heart out.

As heir to my family's mafia throne, I've learned to threaten, torture, and kill. But the only place I really feel at home is on the ice.

So when Mom has my coach murdered to end my figure skating dreams, I know it's time to run. With my hot but off-limits bodyguard by my side, I flee to a little town where she'll never find me.

All I want is to lie low and perform in secret at the local rink. But a chance meeting with two passionate, damaged men seeking their own healing on the ice opens up new possibilities—both for my skating and my heart.

They have no idea who I really am. And with a gang terrorizing my new neighbors and a stalker leaving me gruesome gifts, I don't know how long I can keep my violent history in the past.

Can I defend my new life without turning into the brutal mafia princess I never wanted to be?

Mmmehhhh

This is my least favorite book by Eva Chase/Eva Chance. The book got drawn out and boring at multiple points throughout the book.

But the WORST part was changing narrators of the main character on the last book. At first I thought it was an AI narrating. She made it so monotone & lackluster. The sexy parts were like a robot reading it. Just horrible. That narrator should not do books with sex or passionate scenes, she ruins them.

Idk if this will be the last book in the Devils Dozen world. If it isn’t, then I would probably suggest suffering through it just so you know what is going on for future books. But if this is the last series in that world, then I would tell you not waste your time or credit/money.

3 out of 4

I loved the story line of all 4 books and I loved the narration for books 1-3 and the male in book 4. however, the female narration for book 4 was too monotone and automated with no emotional impact. unfortunately it took me forever to get through listening to book 4. if not for that my ratings would be higher.
The story itself is 4.5 star!
narration for books 1-3 is 5 star.
narration for book 4 is 1 star. 😔

slowest of the series.

i had fallen in love with the entire series and started listening to it. this collection was the slowest of them all. book 4 had so much potential but unfortunately they changed the female narrator and she was so monotoned that i was falling asleep. Definitely worth the read but not worth the audiobook.

Not as good as the rest of the books in that universe

I have read all of the devils dozens books thus far, and this is my least favorite. It was too drawn out, it felt like they were trying to hit 4 books when it would’ve been better consolidated into 3. Also, the narration change for book 4 almost ruined it for me. It was so monotone, it felt AI generated. I had to skip all of the spicy scenes because they were unbearable to listen to. It took my 2 days to read books 1-3, and over a week for book 4, I almost quit.

Great story lines!

Great book and narrator’s are great except for the narrator in death drop for Lou. She is good but I just felt like she didn’t capture Lou like Valentina did which was a bummer but doesn’t mean I won’t re listen to the series again.

Great story!

First - I love when authors put their collection into one audiobook. I seek these out and this is how I found the Blades of Havoc series. And I’m so glad I did. I loved the story telling and the fresh plot with all the twists. All around 5 stars!

Great series!

I really enjoyed this series, especially with the figure skating story and all Lou's men!
I really enjoyed the narrators for this series with the exception of Lou's narrator change in the final book. She didn't have the right hardness that the original narrator had throughout the rest of the books.

Female narrator is awful and deadpan performance. Sorry was wayyyyy too long.

No satisfying epilogue. Female narrator is awful and deadpan performance. Sorry was wayyyyy too long.
