Resumen del Editor

For hundreds of years, Nightmares have ruled the world.

Descended from the Seven Deadly Sins, these supernatural creatures have enslaved and tortured the human race.

I have lived my entire life fighting back against the monsters that have plagued this world. A deadly assassin and a member of the resistance, I only have one motto: kill or be killed.

When the Damning commences (a fight to the death against the world's most brutal serial killers, assassins, and torturers), a twist of fate finds me as one of the competitors. Despite my initial reluctance, I find myself eagerly participating.

But what I didn't count on, however, were the seven princes:

• Lupe, a shifter descended from Wrath.
• Devlin, a genie descended from Greed.
• Jax, a vampire descended from Gluttony.
• Killian, an incubus descended from Lust.
• Ryland, a shadow descended from Pride.
• Sebastian, a mage descended from Sloth.
• And Dair, a mermaid descended from Envy.

Our love could never be. I'm an assassin, and they are my targets.

But who ever said I needed to follow the rules? If only I can survive the Damning....

This is a medium-burn reverse harem romance. Expect a kick-ass, snarky MC, seven swoon-worthy heroes, and a lot of bloodshed. This is the first audiobook in the series.

So Happy

Just got to say how happy I am that they are making these into audiobooks. I previously read them and loved it!
The performance was spot on!
Love your works Katie keep up the awesome work.

Good Story plagued by internal dialague

The story starts off strong with ok wold building as the story progresses.

The concept of the different races and their connection to a specific sin was interesting

The problem starts in the second half of the book as the MC and the men start internally monologing far too often and when they do it is too often filled with verbosity (Yes i looked it up...i was curious if there was a word for it), I understood the intellectual shifter thinking of a poem in his head but all 7 Main men take the same aspect on and use 3 to 6 adjective heavy sentances in their mind trying to pain a picture and as it drags out one thing becomes completly unforgivable and thats the ending.

As you wonder how long the adjectives will go on for you realize there is only an hour left in the story....i guess the author realized this too because **SPOILERS**.................compeltly out of nowhere an evil so evil the MC cant stand his "evilness" just appears out of nowhere with a deep connecting to one of the MC's best friends.....just as quickly he is killed along with others and the story ends like a freight train slamming into another frieght train. Its all so abrupt and the author trys to cram in so much it just feels bad. I will still pick up book 2 but if the internal monologing continues ill probly return them and give up.

Captivating

I couldn’t put this audio book down! If you’re on the fence buy this audio book! Book kept me up last night! Going to sleep now!

worth the credit

so, at first I was kind of on the fence about continuing to listen to it because the female narrator was VERY breathy (in the beginning especially), and it was pretty distracting and grated on my nerves to hear her inhaling so loudly lol, BUT once the story picked up, it wasn’t as bad and I didn’t even notice it anymore. she did a FANTASTIC job getting across Z’s emotions and personality. I’ve read this book before, so it says something about the narrator if they can have me sobbing over a scene I knew was coming. The male narrator did well, too, though I had trouble differentiating some of the guys when the scene had all of them talking. All in all, it was well worth the credit and I can’t wait to listen to the next book. As I said, I have read this book before and Katie May killed it (as usual). If you like Throne of Glass but wanna read the adult and reverse harem version, this is the book for you — you will love Z!

Awesome story

Love the story and the journey it has taken me. I recommend this story and hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Heart wrenching revenge

When you’re a human assassin and find out you have multiple mates in the midst of fighting for your life. You have no clue how to handle this after continuously losing the people you love all your life.

With the two people you trust and consider family, you face this new mission like any other mission.

But tunnel vision makes you blindsided…

In book 2, will Fate find the happiness taken from her? Do things get more complicated? Will the other assassin’s words ring true? Will Z need to save herself again? Or, will her mates? Can’t wait for book 2 to find out!
