Publisher's summary

What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object in the field of death?

In the dark underbelly of the mob, Tristan Caine has been an anomaly. As the only non-blooded member in the high circle of the Tenebrae Outfit, he is an enigma to all. His skills are unparalleled, his morality is questionable, and his motives are unknown. He is lethal and he knows it.

As does Morana Vitalio, the genius extraordinaire daughter of the rival family. What Caine does with weapons, Morana does with computers. When a twenty-year-old mystery resurfaces, Morana infiltrates Caine's house, intent on killing him, unaware of a tie that binds them together. Hate, heat, and history clash together with unexpected sparks.

But something bigger, something worse is happening in their world. And despite their animosity, only they can fight it down.

LOVE

I love these books.. I was so excited to see the audible book available.. I’ve read them all an I kniw I just needed to listen to this story bc I loved it so much. Get story and marvelous job on the performance ❤️

Predator

Loved the narrator. But where is the rest of the book. I love this series.

Stick With It

I didn’t love the beginning but I am so glad I kept reading. The entire book is a slow burn and I LOVED it.

RuNyx is a damn genius 👏

First, the female narrator.... I didn't care for her voice, not what I imagined Morana to sound like. But, whatever.

Look, Tristian and Morana are *THE* couple for me. The longing stares, the constant saying of his last name, the fire he lit in her, and their non-verbal communication just made this book 5 🌟 for me.

My favorite line:
*He. Had. A. F♤€king. Dimple*

unconventional love story

loved the story, nice to have a different approach and not too predictable. love all the books, can't wait for the final installment

Amazing story

This book is honestly amazing has good details the girl voicing was kinda annoying at times but it was still good

I listened to the audio version and enjoyed it. The Predator is the first installment in Runyx’s Dark Verse series and written in third person.

The Predator introduces us Tristan and Miranda and their mafia world. The story is addictive as it unfolds.

There are some twists at the end that are surprising and I highly recommend you read or listen to the book.

The only reason why I didn’t give it a full five stars is the narration. While the narrator is good, her narration was slow. In order to keep the narration from dragging, I had to listen to a speed of 1.3x.

My first dark romance

Loved the narrators voice! This isn’t my usual audio taste but I’ll definitely be back for more. Like the spiciness… And I was expecting a worse storyline because of the romance label but was pleasantly surprised.

super smart FMC in a mafia setting
-dark hair blue eyed MMC with BDE and a voice of whiskey and sin 🌶🌶🌶

Slow burn. Witty Banter.

****Narration**** Not a huge fan of their voices, maybe it will take a few chapter to get used to listening to their voices. Also not a fan of the narrators talking about their character in third person. I wish that they would talk in first person.

update: Took me until Chapter 6 to get used to the third person narration and the narrators voices.

****Story**** (update from chapter 6) The story is enjoyable, it has a great story plot and the tension is soooo nice haha I love the banter that they have between each other. she knows how to push his buttons and he just knows how to get her interest.

One negative review that I read a lot was that "they just kept staring at each other", not sure if its because I am terrible at eye contact but I loved the ominous stare. The title made so much sense with just these act alone, I could see the predator side of him and I loved it.

The author repeats a lot of phrases and it kills the vibe of the story. example "she has changed", "she is unable to describe it, so she wont", etc. if you can't explain it... don't and don't write it in the story because its pointless.
