About this listen

Caspien Deveraux was poison.

It took me years to realise that he hadn't been born like that. He'd been cultivated and nurtured by a careful hand and a bitter heart. When I first met him, he was a bud. One primed to bloom beautifully and deadly. One I should have torn out at the root.

I loathed him. I loved him. And until him, I hadn't known just how completely those two things could exist at once.

Holy shit. The narration of this book was immaculate. There wasn’t one second of it I felt like someone was reading me a story. He brought every character, every emotion completely to life. Amazing

Narration was amazing

This was a really lovely reimagining of great expectations. The narrator does a truly amazing job and I suspect elevates this book with his wonderful work on this audiobook.

Beautiful narration

Probably the absolute best romance novel I’ve listened to this year, maybe ever. So well written and read even better.

Incredible Story!

Honestly, this book broke my heart so many times, I stopped counting! Luke is such a precious soul, he didn’t deserve this sh*t, Jude, my baby, your love was everything! Cas, I’m so sorry! Nathan, you are just perfection, and Gidien, I can’t ever feel sorry for you! I felt sick for 80% of this book, so heartbreaking, so devastating yet so beautiful! ❤️

OH MY GOD!!!

This is my first review ever !
I listened to the book back to back twice and could listen to it again . I cried with the performance , the best performance I’ve ever listened to , I even searched the narrator cus I want to see him act , he did this so amazingly well. By f r my favorite audiobook, I’ve always felt guilty about not reading actual books for the last five years when I started audiobooks but this hit me , I really felt this one . I love it so much , maybe I’m being a little emo cus I just finished it a few minutes ago but woah woah woah . Love this book , I need to get the actual book now
And it’s pride month in NYC , how fitting 🫶🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

Simply the best !

This is one of these love stories which will stay on your mind forever.

Jude & Caspien, I love them both❤️❤️ and I was so happy when they finally found their way to each other.
Their story is so heartbreaking and my heart still hurts for them. Poor Jude, he loves Caspien with all his heart and endures so much. Caspien has his own secrets and also have to pay the price for his choices. This story is unique and written with exquisite style.

I also highly recommend to listen their love story on audiobook. The narrator George Naylor's voice and performance is amazing. He is perfect Jude. I absolutely love it.
I would like to read more about happy Jude & Caspien...
Highly recommend to read and listen this book. It's a new classic.

Caspien & Jude ❤️❤️ Love them!

This book reminded me why I love reading and that a lot of my 5-star reviews are not actually deserving of such. The story and narration were phenomenal. This book will live in my all time favorites.

The absolutely most deserving 5-star review
