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...

Review after both books.

Not the typical RH book, FMC is amazing without being unpleasant .
The reviews aren't overstating how good the narration is. It genuinely is incredible.

I've now got one hell of a book hangover, so good luck with that 👌🏻

From the title page to the ending I was hooked. I'd already read the book and finished it 2 days before the audio came out and it did not disappoint at all.
Loved the base plot, loved how it all tied together. Both narrators did so well it was so clear without it being said that it was a different character coming in, just by there voices.
Stunning performances from them both!!
shout out to the writer Ruby M Darling. You wrote a masterpiece and allowed two amazing narrators to bring it to life xx

I have no words. 17 different voices from Joe Arden!! WHAT??
