Long and a bit redundant

Talented narration kept me from abandoning the story entirely. It was just too long and drawn out for my taste. I liked the first in the series better. This one could have been told in 5 hours instead of almost 12. Sigh…

Nova

Nova’s power and strength, her dedication and determination to fight for the people and things she thought were right.

Super spicy RH journeytkhl

This was a great finish to the 1st book. So original and so sexy. Definitely spicy, not for the faint if heart! I loved the story line and how original it is! Much easier than the 1st book to read. Other than the over use of the word "baby" you will not be disappointed!

Unbreakable

SPOILERS AHEAD!!!
This book picked up where the last one left off and then some. I swear I went through so many emotions in this book. Nova was taken by her father and she was tortured. It was painful to read, but the way the guys rallied around her and truly helped through it, even putting themselves in the lion's den so to speak in order to help her and be there for her. So good. I devoured this book. I did do the audiobook for this and it is so good, The audiobook really elevates this book. Michelle Sparks and James Cassidy were so good with this and I loved every min of listening to this.

Series: Pretty Liars, #2

🦸🏼‍♀️ Heroine Spotlight: Nova

From the ashes of agony, Nova rises. Tortured by her own father — a brilliant, twisted mind obsessed with creating super soldiers through gene manipulation and psychological torment — Nova endured unspeakable pain to protect her younger sister, Anna. Electroshock, starvation, and worse were her daily reality.

At seventeen, she escaped. Ten years in hiding later, she returns for her father’s funeral and reunites with Anna — only to discover five other survivors of her father’s experiments. Considered “failures,” these men were kept alive for further torment. Now, they work for the government, dismantling the remnants of her father’s legacy and hunting down his hidden research sites. Nova’s return ignites a mission far bigger than revenge: redemption.

🧑🏻‍🚒 Hero Spotlight: Louis, Dimitri, Nico, Jonas, and Isaac

Five broken men. Five distinct scars. One unbreakable bond.

• 🃏 Jonas — A lovable chaos engine. Psychotic, hilarious, erratic, and flirty, Jonas teeters on the edge of madness, fighting daily to stay whole.
• 🩺 Isaac — The healer who never heals himself. As the team’s doctor, he’s the emotional anchor, though his own pain remains buried.
• 🧸 Nico — A grizzly with a shattered soul. Scarred and touch-averse, yet tender with Nova, he’s her silent strength.
• 🧭 Louis — The leader who carries the weight of the world. Protective to a fault, his sense of responsibility borders on self-sacrifice.
• 💻 Dimitri — The tech genius haunted by love lost. Driven by guilt and a vow to prevent further suffering, he’s the team’s moral compass.

Louis was the first to escape captivity. He risked everything to free the others, though not all could be saved. Now, they believe Nova’s father had a partner — and only Nova can help them finish what they started.

🔥 Plot Pulse

Book one laid the groundwork: tortured children, rogue experiments, and a team of survivors on a mission to shut it all down. Book two? It cranks the stakes to eleven.

As the team races to destroy every trace of Nova’s father’s research, they uncover a deeper, darker threat — one they never saw coming. The enemy is more insidious, more powerful, and more personal than they imagined. The final battle isn’t just about survival. It’s about legacy, healing, and justice.

💘 Things That Hit Home

• 🧬 I’m a sucker for the super soldier trope — especially when it’s rooted in DNA manipulation and trauma. The mission to save others and end the torment? Chef’s kiss.
• 😱 One scene had me on edge: the team in serious danger, and they didn’t go full superhero mode. It was frustratingly realistic — and I loved/hated every second.
• 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Stellar supporting cast: Anna (Nova’s sister), Sam (her love interest), and Burt (the butler who’s more father than their actual one).
• 🔥 Reverse harem dynamics can be overwhelming — especially when intimacy is spread across all five men. Book one leaned heavy on the smut; book two found a better balance, thanks to Nova’s separation from the group for much of the story.
• 🎭 More action. More emotion. More heart. I gave book one five stars — and this sequel outshines it.

---

😬 Room to Grow

• 🤦‍♂️ Louis’s plan to get captured alongside Nova? Not his brightest moment. The captors would obviously suspect backup.
• 💏 Romance in the middle of danger? Please no. It’s hard to suspend disbelief when characters risk everything for a steamy moment while the enemy’s around the corner.

🎧 Narration Vibes

Told through multiple POVs, the dual narration by James Cassidy and Michelle Sparks is a win.

• 🎙 Cassidy’s voice — deep, smooth, and emotionally layered — gives each male character a distinct presence.
• 🎙 Sparks, with her British accent, brings Nova to life with quiet resilience and raw vulnerability.

Together, they elevate the story’s emotional beats and make the trauma, tenderness, and tension hit harder.

📝 Final Thoughts

This duet delivers a gut-punch of emotion, action, and healing. Book two deepens the stakes, sharpens the character arcs, and balances intimacy with plot in a way that feels earned. If you love tortured super soldiers, found family, and heroines who claw their way out of hell — Nova’s story will stay with you.

Woah...

What. A. Turn.

I knew there was going to be death, but dang. Just when I had a change of heart. This was brutal, poor Nova, and the guys...they were put through it. I've come around to the paranormal side more lately and it's the perfect break from norm to keep me going. I'm DEFINITELY getting this duet for my shelf, it's gorgous!

Listen & listen again!

Plot is exciting with just the right amount of fighting and sex. I have listened to these books more than once. And will listen to them again.

Great Plot

The plot is super fun! I haven’t found many dark romances that are science fiction, let alone reverse harems. I originally only read YA sci-fi, so it was great to mix the two genres as an adult. However, with reverse harem audiobooks, I think there should be a full cast; it can get really confusing to figure out who’s talking. Three of the characters blended together, and I had to keep going back to try to figure out who was speaking. And don’t even get me started on the dialogue with all five men in the mix speaking at the same time. The book itself is amazing, but I do wish the audiobook had a duet narration with a full cast.

Loved this duet, but book 2 wasnt as strong though

After listening to book 1 I went right into book 2, especially after that crazy of a cliffhanger I needed to know what was going to happen to Nova after the devastation in book 1 and the knowledge her dad was indeed alive and she lost people she had just couldnt back in her life. I felt for her and for the guys, even more so as the audiobook went on because of the separation they went through and how hard it was on them, as well as the torture they had to endure.

I will be upfront and say I enjoyed book 1 more but I still liked book 2 it just was slower for me, I think because of the setting and what everyone had to withstand, and then the ending felt like it ended at like the 85-90% mark and I was waiting for the other shoe to drop but we just got a ton of smut haha. Now don’t get me wrong I love smut, but it felt odd with the pacing and how book 1 was for the story to wrap up that early. Like the book could have ended there with a normal side epilogue and we all would have been happy with it. Just felt a little unnecessary. Still gave it 4/5 stars, would definitely still recommend the duet, just wasn’t as strong and succinct as Unstoppable was.

Now on to the things I enjoyed! I felt so many emotion seeing how the guys agonized not being able to find her and rescue her. Seeing some of them shut down, some behave more erratically, some becoming a shell of their former self was hard to listen to, especially my favs who took it extra hard on themselves for not protecting her and not finding her. Nova had to go through some nasty stuff in her father’s clutches. What she did to protect future people was gut wrenching but so brave and made her such a BA. I had to go slower with this one because of the torture parts and how sad it was making me with the guys’ POV. I loved seeing Nova’s pseudo dad help them out and keep them together. I was sad when the ending of book 1 was brought, for the ones they lost. This was definitely an emotional rollercoaster but their reunion was epic and I loved her getting to seeing some earlier and them freaking out over the comms to hear her voice hahaha. Made me laugh so hard them clamoring for her.

The steam was high once they were reunited, which took awhile because of the storyline. The love these characters have for one another was amazing and aw-inspiring. I love all the guys different personalities and how some of their kinks came out even more when they got back together haha. I won’t give anything away, but some of the other characters made it hard to even pick a favorite among them 😍. This author does an incredible job with making us fall for these characters and become super invested. The narration also helps elevate them and make them that much more real to the readers’ minds. They did a great job with bringing out the emotions of the characters, especially the guys and how they were falling apart without her. Also the scene where she had to hurt herself and the ramifications made me get teary-eyed because I felt the pain for Nova and their future. Done so well!

Enjoyed this duet, slowly working my way through this author’s catalog as she gets more audiobooks done, can’t wait to escape into the next world. Book 2 is a 4/5 stars but the duet overall is 4.5/5 since book 1 was 5/5 and one of my favorites of all time by this author ❤️
