Publisher's summary

Eve

Two years ago, I made a deal with the devil. That night, I lost everything. That night, I thought he died.

But he's back. Risen, like Lazarus, from the dead. And he's dark. Darker than he was before. Dangerous. Unhinged. A scarred, tattooed savage.

The way he looks at me should terrify me, but I'm drawn to him, to his intensity. Consumed by it. By him. Even though I know if I'm not careful, his obsession will destroy me.

Zach

I should have died that night two years ago. My mistake cost my men their lives. It should have cost me mine. But I survived. And the day I learned she did too, I made it my mission to find her.

I sought her out. Tracked her. Shadowed her every move. I've been inside her house. Eaten her food. Drank her liquor. I've stood beside her bed and watched her sleep.

She has so many secrets, and I know one of them. It's the one where our pasts collided. The one that destroyed me.

And it's the reason I've come for her.

I never intended to touch her, but I did. And now that I've had a taste, I want more. I want her. But that won't change why I'm here. It won't change why I came for her.

Dark and Delicious

Would you listen to Unhinged again? Why?
Yes and No. Yes, because the story sucked me right in and held me hostage, but also no, because it's darker than my normal books and that can be a little too heavy for me. I honestly really enjoyed this story though and didn't want to stop listening. I couldn't wait to unravel all the mysteries.


What was one of the most memorable moments of Unhinged?
When Zach calls her habibi and recognizes that he means it affectionately, as well as when Eve tells him that she is safest with him. They finally see that what they share goes beyond revenge and retribution. There was so much anger and confusion between them prior to that. Eve was fighting and protesting (though half heartedly) and Zach was still taunting her and playing games. They both started to heal and move forward once they let the other person in.


Have you listened to any of Michael Pauley and Tracy Marks ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I have listened to several books by Tracy Marks and one other title by Michael Pauley. I have enjoyed all of their performances and both narrators did a phenomenal job on Unhinged. Tracy Marks was amazing as Eve, but I also thought her male voices were fantastic as well. Michael Pauley was the perfect Zach and he brought an intensity to the character that truly made him seem unhinged.


Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Yes, at the end when all the secrets have been revealed and the truths discovered. I don't want to give anything away, but it was an intense showdown and it had me on the edge of my seat.


Any additional comments?
I don't normally read a lot of dark romance/romantic suspense, but Natasha Knight continues to amaze me. Zach is an ultra alpha anti-hero and as much as I loved him, I also hated him. I also wish Eve had a little more backbone. She had her moments, but overall she was a little too damsel in distress for me. It worked though, since there was a lot of predator/prey and cat and mouse between Zach and Eve. It was both unnerving and incredibly sexy. Definitely recommend this audiobook!

I liked it, but my mind wasn't blown.

So, let me first say that I will state right off the bat my disdain for Tracy Marks' narration "style" if you want to call it that. I often buy books without even realizing who's narrating them but I'm glad I didn't shy away because she did a better job in this one than she has in a lot of the others I've listened to... I don't know maybe I'm just getting used to it sounding like she's reading to small children but it didn't bother me as much. That said, I listened to the Tormentor Mine series and Tracy, I don't know if you did this book before or after those but that Russian accent was almost exactly the same as the Middle Eastern one from this book.. I mean come on now. Michael Pauley was good, a little over-the-top honestly but still I really liked his narration; he's got a smooth voice and I enjoyed listening to him.

The story itself was engaging and I listened to the full book quickly; the sexual tension between these two was dark and born of something ugly but undeniable between the main characters. Zach was like able, then he was;t, then he was again so it was a roller coaster. The plot that revolved around these two leads was interesting if not somewhat too far-fetched... I mean when I heard the names of

Great as usual!!!

Natasha Knight is one of my favorite authors. Her books never disappoint. I really don’t like Michael Pauley’s narration he’s so intense when there is no need lol I just became use to his voice because he narrates a few books in the dark romance genre. All in all loved the book.

Outstanding!

What a combination! I have loved reading books by Natasha Knight and listening to Tracy Marks and Michael Pauley, so this was outstanding. I thought the story kept me captivated from beginning to end. I will definitely listen to more books by both the author and narrators in the future, plus this one again. I requested this review copy audiobook and have voluntarily written this review.

Zachary Armado!!!!!

I liked this story. It was interesting & action packed. Tracy Marks totally sucks!

Too Unhinged

This one was just....eh, okay for me. It started out great but as the story went on, there were just too many things that were a tad on the unbelievable side for me.....and, it seemed every other word was unhinged every single time the main character was described. The narration was great, though at times, Michael Pauley’s voice for Zach was a bit too UNHINGED for my taste, but I know it was by design. Pauley and Marks did an excellent job with all of the character voices. I received a review copy at my request and voluntarily reviewed.

Female narrator 👎🏼

I live Natasha Knight books. I really enjoyed this series. And I hate being critical of the female narrator bc I do voice over too, but I do not like how she ended each sentence. Didn’t sound natural. As if every time she spoke it almost sounded like she was asking a question. So it pulled me out of the story. I didn’t enjoy this book they I have enjoyed her other books. Story was good. Love scenes were hot. Just couldn’t get past the narration.

Loved the characters

I have now listened to a few books by Knight and I find her ability to take action and suspense and then sprinkle it with the erotic scenes your hoping for. These narrators were both remarkable. I admit, I listened to this book back to back 3 times. The first listen was done accidentally in one sitting and when my clock said 8 I had trouble accepting it was 8:00 am. Definitely worth a credit. Thanks Knight for a great listen.

An unexpected thrill!

Any additional comments?

I love everything I have heard from Tracy Marks, and the didn't disappoint. There was action and a dark passion between the characters. I like that you really don't know what is truly going on until the end. Love this story worth the listen.

man I really liked this story! but...

but I can't stand it when the lead woman is so simpering and let's EVERYONE wal k all over her for the entire book. i spent this whole book pissed off for her waiting for her to snap back, but it never happens. Everyone basically uses her, drugs her, is hostile and down right abusive towards her, and she just takes it. AND then in the end, she wishes them all well... the only saving grace is that she FINALLY gets to shoot someone, but doesn't even kill them... grrr!!!!
