Abducted and taken to a remote cabin in Alaska, Frankie finds herself at the mercy of four feral men, each with his own dark secrets and twisted desires.

With nowhere to run, she must rely on her wits to survive the harsh winter trapped with them.

As she delves into their mysterious pasts, she uncovers an insidious evil that feeds on loyalty and uses love as a weapon.

I can't wait to read the second one, I already have it saved to read it on October 15th.

Wow !

Pam Godwin never disappoints! This is such a gut wrenching dark romance that will keep you on the edge of your seat! Fantastic performance by these narrators! Immediately starting book 2.

Wow

This book is so unbelievably good. The story plot builds to a crescendo that will have you sitting on the edge of your seat wanting to know what happens next. Ends on a shattering cliffhanger.. off to book 2 I need to know what is next..

if you are easily triggered i must say fair warning ⚠️ there is alot of triggers in this book. there are so many twists and turns this book kept me on my toes and my emotions everywhere I can't wait for the 3rd book..

Incredible!

I read this last year and loved it! I loved it so much I purchased the audiobooks. The performance is fantastic! The story is incredibly dark but in the best way possible. Pam Godwin knows how to write a book! The characters and story are all 10/10. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

So many twists and turns

I binged through this series and wish I could go back and read it again for the first time!

Shattering psychological why choose dark romance

This three-book series is a stunning and emotionally draining dark romance (I'm placing the review on all three volumes).  The story itself is DARK, dark, dark.  If you buy these books and then complain about the content, you only have yourself to blame because you have been WARNED.  Take the warnings seriously if you're overly sensitive to fictitious depictions of rape, incest, child abuse, murder, and maiming, most of which occur in fairly graphic detail.

It's odd to say that sentence and then to go on to praise the story for its well plotted romance, but here we are.  Where this story ends is nowhere near predictable from where it begins.  Most of the characters are significantly flawed; some are downright evil.  You'll have to figure out which fall into which distinction.  I was mildly disappointed that one of the main characters that had high romantic potential (not spoiling it) ultimately lost his chance to be included in the RH.  But the HEA was still enough to overcome that slight.

The narrators on this series were OUTSTANDING.  They deserve all the AUDIE wards, and any that they may be eligible for through SAG-AFTRA.  While Stella was incredible, there are no words that do justice to the performance of Jack Hesperus.  His portrayal of Monty, Leonid, Wolfson, and Kodiak was precise and distinct.  You always knew which character was speaking (Kodiak was my favorite of that group), and the "flavor" he gave to each character's voice was perfectly suited to their personalities.  He also did so many less prominent characters, including Rhett, and I CHALLENGE you to prove it wasn't Tim Gunn voicing the character!

I can't imagine the research that went into this book.   I mean, you can't just "imagine" what it's like to live in the arctic and convey the kinds of details that Pam Godwin provided in these stories.  Right?  So I offer a hearty round of applause.  This story will stay with me for a long while, for both the romance elements that I love, and for the emotional roller coaster Pam sent me on.  This series is now marked among my all-time favorites.  

OMFG I Wasn't Prepared

Ok I'm going to be really honest with everyone.
I was a huge fan of Sea of Ruin it is literally in my top 3 of all-time greatest audiobooks.
This is NOTHING like SOR so if you are coming into this book thinking it will be similar, it is NOT!
Narration amazing Stella Hunter is my favorite female narrator hands down. I'm new to Jack Hesperus's work but he was great to. Dual narration is my sweet spot.
However, this story IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART!!!
I literally have no TW at all I am a huge fan of dubcon, cnc, & other darker themes.
But when I tell you this stories content was dark.
As far as smut goes, I stopped feeling any interaction with the spiciness of this story a little over halfway through.
This book is not easy listening spice.
If you are looking for a story that takes a raw clear look at the human condition & what it would be like if you were truly pushed to the brink of ruin in order to survive then this is it.

The person you are is not the same as the person you must be in order to survive 😦

Another insanely good book by Pam Godwin. So many conflicting emotions. It’s derp, dark and agonizing to read but also contains love and hope. I will need a short breather before I can dive into the next book in the series.
