Publisher's summary

Now that supernatural beings have seized control of the world, life has become a struggle for the humans who once held power. Witches, vampires, and werewolves determine the fate of humanity, but their moral compasses have long since been shattered. Rebels, free humans, and slaves all share dreams of hope, mercy, love, and more. But with their fate so uncertain, survival isn't enough...and they may have to sacrifice what is nearest and dearest to them if they want to change their lives.

Bought: When he agreed to take the fall for his pack leader's failed attempts to help the Rebellion, Jace knew he wouldn't live long enough to regret it. However, instead of the noble end he envisioned for himself, the werewolf finds himself at the mercy of a witch and his depraved games. Though he clings to his conviction that he can withstand anything his new master can dish out, it isn't long before he realizes pride has no place in his life as the pet of the controlling Elias Ivers.

Ravel: For years, Reese has hidden away in his home, refusing to venture out where he might face what reminds him of all that he's lost. When Ashton, a human thief, breaks into his home one night, he doesn't have a choice but to face the harsh truths of the world he's turned his back on. He knows he supports the society monsters of myth and lore built upon the backs of humans through his silence, but the new leaders don't tolerate sympathizers.

If a werewolf can't act against the status quo without facing severe consequences, a human with Ashton's cunning and experience circumventing supernatural predators can't risk drawing their attention. Their chance encounter leaves them shaken and questioning whether they are living life as they were intended or if surviving is really living at all.

Recoil: Over the past decade, Khaz has watched as supernatural creatures like himself have turned the world into their own personal playground. Unlike the others, he didn't benefit from the Takeover. Every time he sells himself to keep a roof over his head, he's keenly aware of that fact. His landlord, a renowned slaver, offers him the chance to catch up on his rent by breaking a human.

Groomed to fight, Noah has survived by giving in to his hatred of those who took everything away from humanity. When the werewolf can't break him, he's given to the vampire instead - and he's sure this will be no different. The problem is that even the harsh lessons the Rebellion taught him couldn't prepare him for someone like Khaz...who always has an ace up his sleeve.

Bought, Ravel, and Recoil feature different characters whose lives begin to come together in Owned and Temper.

This dystopian series explores different aspects of the world, from utter darkness to the shining lights waiting to emerge. The books range from dark erotica to romance to horror to action(ish) to bits of other things in between.

A dark world matched with its perfect narrator

I dare you to listen to the preface of this and not be hooked. The words are those of a conqueror secure and smug in victory and in those few sentences there is a perfect match of narrator to text. It may be the scariest set up I have heard. You believe in this world immediately and have no doubt about how high the stakes are for the resistance. No quarter will be asked or given.

I wish this was clearly marked as LGBT

I think the story and world was well thought out. but this LBGT content is not my for taste. to much sex not enough story to draw me in past the 5 chapter. if that's your thing you will enjoy the graphic descriptions. a clear label of the content would help readers looking for it or wanting to avoid it, would be nice for everyone.

Wow!!

I love this series! it's so dark and it has me hooked! Great world building, wonderful characters, beautiful writing style. And I love the narrator's voice!

Not really for me

3 stars

Narration: The story was told by Jack Noble as narrator. I liked his voice and his accent. However, the quality was pretty bad and would drag me out of the story. There is echoing and static in parts.

Story: I really wanted to like this series. I actually had it marked as DNF in my written book list from years ago, but I'd forgotten about it. I thought I’d give it a try and I did make it much further in the books than I did when reading it. I think, for me, it was the switching POVs and feeling like things were just abruptly stopped at the ends. I know it all ties in together, which was the reason I kept listening, but it still seemed…I don’t know…unfinished or cut-off before it should have been to continue later.

This contains book 1 – Bought, book 2 – Ravel, book 3 Recoil, and book 4 Owned. I don’t plan to finish the series. I think it may have been just out of my normal reading though since other reviews and ratings are high for this series, so you might want to give it a try anyway!

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

great bundle

Thank you for the audio code, I voluntarily give this a honest review. this is such a great bundle of dark kinky witches, shifter and supernatural creatures ..oh my! so happy to have listened to this sinfully delicious book. the narrator jack noble did a wonderful job in the telling of the characters.

A Dark Twisty World

Jack Noble did a brilliant job of brining R. Pheonix's Fate of the Fallen universe to life. This is a dark and twisted world where humans have no say. You really need to read / listen to the whole series to round out this story but IMO it is so worth it.

intriguing, dark, intensely twisted

This group of stories is not for the faint of heart. want to read something dark and out of the norm, then these books are for you. looking for an MM with an HEA, then these are not the stories for you.

they are nearly dystopian in nature and although they are paranormal, they are strikingly real in essence of human cruelty.

If you like dark books? Listen to this!

Interesting and dark stories, a range of characters, strong world building, and good pacing. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is into darker books. My favorite is the first story because it's so twisted and I would read/listen to so much more about Jace and Elias. I do feel that the first book was super dark, and it got a little lighter from there, so I would have preferred the stories to stay just as twisted if not more.

And this is more a personal preference - the narrator speaks really slowly, so I had to speed it up. If that wasn't an option, I would have found it hard to get through the narration.

[I received a copy of this book for an honest review :).]

Dark, twisted world.... How wonderful!

This was a nice dark suprise! Four books placed in the same universe, where the humans are the lowest ones in the food chain. And the most powerful of all is a sadistic witch Elias Ivers. He is evil. I mean really evil.

If you are looking for romance with a happy ending, this is not for you. But if the dark world with its evil creatures excites you, go for it!

The narrator was great, I loved his voice and accent but it really was way too slow. I had listen 1,2x speed.

Good listen

I have to say that I love to listen to audiobooks and it’s great when authors bundle them. It also helped with these books because the first 2 were short reads that were only about 2-3 hours each. The narrator did a good job and the author created a world I could see through her writing. Overall a good listen.
