About this listen

Perfect for fans of From Blood and Ash and A Shade of Vampire—but with added spice!

Jak's life has only one meaning: Break the curse or die trying.

Marius's life has no meaning; not since he was cursed into the twisted, bloodthirsty creature of night. For years the witches have waited for their salvation, a way to return the magic that was sacrificed when the curse was first cast. Jak, a boy born with power that the witches have not seen in a century, is their prophesied savior. The one who is to kill the creature, break the curse and restore magic to his coven.

Sent to the creature's castle as the final Claim, Jak must get close enough to land the final blow. It is what he has trained all his life to accomplish. Not all is as it seems when Jak uncovers secrets and half-truths. The creature is not the haunting beast he had been brought up to hate. Emotions war as new feelings are uncovered. For what is more dangerous than hate? Lust.

Contains mature themes.

Amazing!!

This was a good tale mashing together several fictional characters but it’s misleading to call this book spicy. There’s 2.5 scenes which are YA mild at best, great narration was appreciated

Easy listening YA

I’m sure the story is fine, but the narrator….. imagine listening to Siri, prototype version 0.001 reading to you for several hours and you will get the idea. In fact, I think that’s unfair to Siri as the AI does try to show human like inflections in its speech. I couldn’t listen to much more after an hour or two. Ben’s books are great but I’d start with one narrated by another person.

Would not recommend

The concept is interesting and reasonable well written. The characters are likeable and the narration is very good.

Enjoyable Story

A highly predictable queer, slightly gory, very thirsty re-imagining of Beauty and the Beast. World-building is minimal, and the ending is a cop-out for sure. I don't think it was the author's intention to create some grand earth- shattering love story here, so I take it for what it is, and what it is, is a perfectly acceptable little escape. The narrator did an excellent job.

Sweet

I liked the book, though the story was somewhat slow. The ending was a surprise. Narration was good.

Good book

I've previously read a fair share of Ben's books and was looking forward to enjoying them in an audiobook form however the narration does not work with the story. The performance is too much and too put on to make the characters feel as themselves rather than just accents.

Narration not my cup of tea.

A truly amazing book, so engaging I couldn’t stop listening. Can’t wait to read more!

Thrilling and engaging
