Like the series but the porn is overdone

Like the series but there is a mysterious jump nearer the end of this second book of the series where he doesn't remember anything then it turns into a cheap porn book for a couple of chapters before getting back to the story to end the book. This author tends to put a lot of sex in his books which doesn't bother me but holy cow this is overdone for a chapter or 2. Third book picks up the story again and is very enjoyable.

good and bad

alot of ppl dont like these books but i find them entertaining. yes the sex scenes are long and awkward and i usually end up clicking the skip 30 sec button several times. however the story is original and there's a few plot twists that keep u intrigued. The only two real complaints i have are how he drags out the points ur waiting for, like kaiair and nadea meeting, and the ending of this book. ...youll see. but yea other than that it is pretty interesting

female Narrator made me cringe

her voice was too low. I could barely understand anything she was saying and it sounded like shes never lived a happy day in her life. besides that... everything was great.

I did NOT like the female narrator Sands

Collins (male narrator) was intense, passionate and true immersed you into the story... In stark contrast, Sands (female narrator), unusual speaking cadence by constantly speeding up and slowing down coupled with her whiny mumbling voice DROVE ME CRAZY! In fact, i contemplated not purchasing in next book in the series because she is also sharing narrator duties...luckly tge story is too interesting.

Xe Sands SUCKS

The narration absolutely ruined this audio book for me. I ended up having to buy the text version because I could not understand Xe Sands' narration. The parts I could understand, her voice was incredibly annoying. Her voice was a stark contrast from Collins whose voice I could easily understand even at 2x speed. The story is not quite as good as book 1, but still very enjoyable overall.

The woman needs to speak up

My only gripe is the woman narrator. She has a decent voice that I don't mind hearing, the issue is I can barely hear her. I have my headset volume maxed and my phone volume maxed and I can still barely hear her.

Super annoying.

The male is fine, first series I've heard him in and it's not half bad. Kind of wish it was just him alone like in the first book so I'd actually be able to hear half the book.

Xe mumbles too much and too much embellishment

I kept going with this book because I want to know what happens but a lot of time could be cut by taking out a lot of the over the top descriptions. I got bored and just zoned out during some stuff and didn't miss a thing. Also, the female narrator mumbles so much I could barely hear what she was saying.

this book is everywhere

first 2 narrators the female absolutely sucks, then just to many memories, if book 3 has 2 narrators I want even listen.

What did I just listen to

Out of 200 books listened to...never have I hated a narrator, until now. Sands was just atrocious in this. I mean it was so bad that I literally had to skip her chapters and read it myself at one point.

How is this person an audiobook narrator?

Collins was good though.

Story was good when she wasn't reading.

Ends like a carbon copy of the first book.

I have really come to hate books that feel like they have to end with a big cliffhanger just so you can read the next book. Unfortunately despite how well this is written are usually rate based on how the book is presented and how it ends. I really like the basic premise of this book and how it is written. But the entire premise and bases of this book comes from coincidences, people passing in the night not aware of somebody else just 10 feet away from them. One or two times can be a coincidence but the entire novel is based on multiple coincidences like this. At this point I’m not sure if I’m going to read anymore of these books. I find it quite hard to read a book that just leaves me pissed off at the end of the book that’s not why read novels.

Excellent Addition

Any additional comments?

I recommend listening to the female sections at x1.25 speed. I'm not familiar with Xe Sands pace but I found a speed adjustment made for a more enjoyable experience.

Sucked me in

I listen to books at work and my shift just kept ending like no time had passed not many books do that same with the first book

like the story

the male narrator gets 5 stars, like listening to him the female narrator i would advis to stop. it is nu dat the worst narration i have heard. difficult to onderstand, bad articulation, weird cadance and intonation and an boring speachpatern

Xe sands pls stop stopping for so long

everything was good but xe sand i like her voice and everything but does pauses

I really enjoyed this book

This book was very surprisingly good. It was confusing at times but it was amazing to listen to. The relationships are great.
The male lead is such a sex symbol and he's so easy to love. I love the name skinny

Not enough action!

I feel like this book was pointless nothing really happened to move the story on. just a lot of sex really not something I want to hear while working or driving tbh
