Publisher's summary

From BookTok sensation Emily McIntire comes a dark and delicious fractured fairy tale reimagining of Aladdin.

She’s his diamond in the rough. He’s her worst nightmare.

Yasmin Karam, daughter of one of the richest men in the world, has never known strife. So, when her beloved father falls ill, she is determined to make his final days his happiest. His last wish? To see her married to a man of his choosing. Except Yasmin’s heart already belongs to someone else. A servant. A street rat. A man her father would never consider worthy.

Stuck between a rock and a hard place, Yasmin strikes a desperate deal with her father’s right-hand man, Julian, not realizing he has his own twisted agenda.

Julian Faraci has one goal: become the most powerful man in the world. He has built a future from broken bones and faded bruises, never caring who he hurt along the way. But when his mentor falls ill, he finds himself on the verge of losing everything, and he’ll stop at nothing to inherit what is rightfully his—even if it means forcing a woman he can’t stand into marriage.

Yasmin is a brat who speaks out of turn, and he’s the villain of her story. But he decides she’ll be his―no matter what it takes to convince her.

Features mature themes and content that may not be suitable for all listeners. Listener discretion is advised.

Not usually my thing, but…

I couldnt stop listening! Loved the narrators, the story was sexy but still had a good story line and mystery. There were a couple cringy bits but overall, loved it. (Though if I had to hear about someone’s “eyebrows shooting to their hairline” one more time I was going to lose it 😤)

this book

This one was my favorite out of the whole series so far. Slllloooowww burn but wortg it.

So Good!!

Each book in the series gets better and better! I actually really enjoyed trying to figure out who the side characters was compared to the movie whereas the other books were pretty on the nose this was a little bit harder to figure out and I love that!

Wow!

The twist of events! It’s a great story from start to finish! The times my jaw kept dropping! I couldn’t believe it.

I choose the bad guy.

If I didn’t think this series couldn’t get any better. Well, I was proven wrong. At this point I can’t decide which one I love because they are all so good. This one is so so so good. It’s about Yasmin having no other option but to marry Julian. She’s in love with someone else, her childhood friend. Julian is older than her and he has never paid attention to her. Now that her father is dying she sees him looking at her and she likes it but she hates him. She hates him so much she can’t stand him but why does her body acts different. Julian has to decided that no matter what it takes, he’s going to marry Jasmin even though he doesn’t like her because she’s a brat ,rich girl. But what happens when he finally sees her, he sees her as the woman she has became. He can’t stop but actually trying to make her his. Will he stay true to the villain he is or will he become her hero. The narrators did an amazing job reading this book. I absolutely recommend this book in audio or physical.

Love it!

I didn’t know what to expected before listening this book but it’s so good the story the narrator ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Twisted

Enjoyed the storyline. Didn’t enjoy the way it was read. It is read by both a male and female and yet there were parts where the male is reading the woman’s part in his best “girl tone” making her sound more like a valley girl teen instead of the accent she actually has.
I had the same issue with her as well. Just seemed unnecessary since it was narrated by a male and female.

Recommended

Love these novels! Would recommend to anyone who is interested in this genre. Give The Never After Series a read!

The narrators made the story for me!

This retelling of Aladdin where Jafar gets the girl was everything I didn’t know I needed. The narrators were impeccable at what they do, especially the one who read for Yasmin. I loved that she pronounced Arabic words correctly. It just added to the overall experience for me. They’ve seriously set the bar for my future audible books!

Love this dark retelling

This is my first book by the author and I was surprised in a very good way, I love dark fantasy and retellings, so I gave this a go and now I will try and read the previous ones. This story was terrific as I love the villains. Yasmin and Julian simply worked like a charm. The powerful dark Julian has a secret and I'm in love with him, he was simply the best villain I ever know I wanted. I strongly recommend this book!
