The General’s Captive

Dark Fantasy Romance (The Rift Series, Book 1)

De: Stephanie Hudson, E.M. Ritchie

Narrado por: Amanda Leigh Cobb, James Cassidy, Ryan Lee Dunlap

A blink of an eye.
That was all it took for my world to end. For it to literally crumble beneath my feet.
The Rift that tore through the land and opened it up to unearthly danger.
After that, everything changed, and I had to change with it. Any hopes for the future I may
have had, now lost and a new me forced to be reborn.
Each day in this brutal new world was a fight for survival. One filled with living nightmares
and all those myths and monsters I had once read about as a kid. But there was one
important thing I had never learned about in school…
Him.
The General.
The leader of them all.
Now, the biggest question was…
What did he want with me?
That penetrating stare, those dark depths searching out my soul.
That frighteningly handsome face that consumed my dreams.
Those strong hands reaching out for me. Enticing me.
His deep voice luring me closer and closer to the danger within.
Until suddenly, I wake to find myself…
The General’s Captive.

Great performance

Short story but it has you hooked in trying to understand what happened to bring on this supernatural craze. James Cassidy was *chefs kiss*

Great start to this series!

Story - ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Spice -🌶️
Narration - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


The General's Captive is book #1 in the Rift series. This is my first book by the author and I really enjoyed the creativity of the story. Set in the US, an epic disaster occurs that splits the earth releasing dark creatures. A story of survival, Alex battles daily then meets Riley, one of the MMC. When they do meet the General, there is definitely a connection between him and Alex. This does end on a cliffhanger, a surprising one, so now I'm waiting to find out what happens to everyone!


The duet multicast narration is spectacular. Amanda Leigh Cobb, Ryan Lee Dunlop, and James Cassidy bring this thrilling dark fantasy to life. 5/5 stars!

Intriguing and action packed !

I was hooked from the prologue till the final credits! Engaging fast paced writing, my creative plot and i was immediately invested in the characters. The narration by all 3 narrators is 5 stars. I loved the world building and the mythology woven into the apocalyptic events. There is a constant sense of suspense and secrecy, that all is not as it seems and just when I thought i had it figured out, the authors proved me wrong! This is definitely a story i want to continue, Alex and the General have the best banter and I suspect things are about to get spicy!

Just listen to this now!!

This is the first book that I’ve read by Stephanie Hudson & E.M.Ritchie, and boy it did not disappoint. This book quickly had me so addicted and intrigued, I couldn’t put it down. A post apocalyptic story but add in mythical creatures and a soon to be love triangle, what more could you ask for. I loved it. That ending that just leaves you hanging and wanting oh so much more could not have been done better! I haven’t been this excited about a book in a long time. The audio performed in multicast duet by Amanda Leigh Cobb, James Cassidy & Ryan Lee Dunlap is absolute perfection. The characters are cast perfectly and I listened to this in one sitting! Do yourself a favor and grab this is audio ASAP. You will not be disappointed.

Apocalyptic Fantasy

The narration is amazing! Finding voice actors that know how to read a story as if they are live acting isn’t always perfect, but this is a good example of how it’s done. I love the story. It’s different than my usual fantasy read and I’m excited for the next book! 5/5 Would recommend.
