About this listen

Raven Monroe

I think I always knew I was going to die young. Like I had this… silent, invisible clock ticking down to my final moments plastered above my head. Maybe that’s why I was so reckless, crazy. Why I sought after adventure. Why nothing scared me… Except, there was always this… feeling I couldn’t shake that something was in the darkest parts of every corner, under every bed, closet, or room, like a ghost watching me. Waiting to take me. My own, personal reaper.

But it was always only during a lightning storm that I could see the outline of my reaper. No scythe. Just a tall, faceless shadow in a hood, staring at me in the dark…

That was the thing though. It was never the storm itself that scared me. Never the loud booming of thunder. Never the howling wind or the way the windows rattled. Never the sound of rain pounding against said windows. It was just that goddamn lightning.

Seems fitting, I suppose, that I’d die before my twentieth birthday during a freak lightning storm of the century… I just always thought I’d die while doing something dangerous—F*ck it. I’d even take a boring death like simply dying in my sleep from a brain aneurysm or even an early onset heart attack.

Anything.

I’d take any other way other than this...

This was my favorite book/audio this year! The spice hit all my favorite tropes and the plot was dark and twisted unique for smut. So good! Joe Arden was perfection as usual, his versatility is unmatched. He can play a college aged jock, a surly criminal justice professor and a pragmatic psychiatrist with artistic flare that gives them their own voice. Don’t hesitate, listen or read this now if you love dark, spicy, twisted stories.

~Speak~Rayne-Moore University Book 1~Ruby M Darling~

~Duet Narration~Joe Arden & Heather Firth~

~Produced By~Blue Nose Audio~

"No matter how much my mother wanted me to be a princess, I wanted to be able to slay dragons. Where other women wanted prince charming, I wanted the misunderstood villain."

♡Speak was my first read by Ruby & it consumed me from the start! I listened to this on audio & it was absolute perfection! This story has so much depth with twists & turns that will have you at the edge of your seat as you follow Raven our FMC on her track for revenge.

Joe & Heather were both outstanding in their performances. Heather brought our FMC Raven to life & channeled her darkness, vulnerability, & strength so well! Joe was absolutely phenomenal I still can't grasp how talented he is! He voiced our 3 MMCs plus every other male character in this story. If I didn't know there were only 2 narrators I would have thought each male character was voiced by someone different! Joe made it feel like a full-cast narration and it was impeccable!!

If dark, twisty why choose romances are your thing this book is the book for you! I haven't been able to stop thinking about it & I can't wait to hear what book two has in store for us♡

~As Always Happy Reading~

Perfection!!
