Never Keep

Sins of the Zodiac, Book 1

De: Caroline Peckham, Susanne Valenti

Narrado por: Bridget Bordeaux, Jake Bordeaux

From the Amazon.com and Wall Street Journal #1 bestselling authors of the Zodiac Academy series Caroline Peckham & Susanne Valenti.

The dragons are lost.

The elements are at war. Enlisting isn’t optional.

And I’m falling for a man who wants me dead.

I’m a wielder of hearts and summoner of corruption. Heir to nothing and born to a fool in the wrong damn month.

But I’m also one of only two Fae in this divided land of hellions who might be starting to see through the lies we’ve swallowed for so long.

In the year we turn twenty-one, conscripts from across the warring nations of air, fire, earth and water are sent to Never Keep – the only place in our besieged continent where our magic can be Awakened.

But something is wrong inside Never Keep. Something which might extend far beyond the reaches of this desolate fortress. Within the gothic walls of this frigid castle in the snow, we’re left to hold our own against the brutal Fae from the opposing lands.

The Reapers are merciless. The Royals are lying. The Werewolves run rampant and Vampires roam the wastelands in bloodthirsty covens. But even though death lurks in every shadow of the Keep, it’s the least of my worries.

I’m delving into secrets the stars don’t want me uncovering, making alliances with Fae born to be my enemy, falling for a sinner while promising my heart to a different heathen and somewhere amid it all, I’m supposed to win a war.

I thought the only thing I had to do was survive my magical instruction.

Turns out, fate doesn’t favour the wicked.

***This is an enemies-to-lovers romantasy series set in the same world as Zodiac Academy, but it's a dark and villainous tale of its own. You haven't met tainted souls like these before or enemies that hate each other as deeply as these characters do. Book 1 in the series will leave your heart raw and bloody. You'll be left gasping for breath and aching for more of the twisted Fae and they might just be irredeemable... ***

Solaria adjacent and it is RUTHLESS! 👀

I am so excited that this isn’t a RH. 👏 I love when these authors write a cast of characters with various relationships. This first installment is heavy on the enemies and less on the lovers—which I love bc, YES, to the torturous journey we are about to embark on! I am so looking forward to how each relationship will evolve/emerge as the series progresses.

Bridget and Jake have narrated most of the books in Solaria, and hearing them was like putting on comfy, worn slippers.

Single narration. Male only does one chapter at the end

Started great. Ended great. A little boring in the middle. Not much character development yet to form any connections or attachments to the characters. The cliffhanger was cool though. Sets up a good part two. I just wish these authors would start doing duet narration or full cast duet narration. Those are the two best narration styles. Instead they always choose the three worst styles. Single, dual or cheesy graphic audio.

sooooo good

this book is great. The last 10% had me on the edge of my seat

Man, this was a wild ride!

This story had some insane twists, and I can’t wait to see where it’s going. I have no idea what they plan to do with the series, but I am here for it!

Omg Momma

“Momma” drove me crazy in this one. The word just didn’t fit.

That aside I look forward to the story continuing.
