About this listen

They tried to break us.
They almost did.
But we're not going anywhere.

The Celestial Heirs think the stars are on their side. But they don't know what's coming. We have to be smart. Fighting them one on one isn't an option so we have to be stealthy. Remaining under the radar won't be easy, but if we pull it off, they'll never suspect our involvement when their lives start falling apart.

Besides, they've already taken us to the brink of hell, what more can they really do?

Adapted from the novel and produced with a full cast of actors, immersive sound effects and cinematic music!

Loved it!

Huge improvement on Darius replacement, and as usual Max - Gabriel is the best - looking forward to the Max-Geraldine show in later books. There is an error in the visit to kingshollow where Cal is narrating but suddenly Darius starts to. And Cal's narration is a bit creepy throughout. The pit ball altercation was changed too, the storyline there was changed entirely which will cause some issues in the next book with Tory and Cal, since she is upset with him (all 4 heirs did it) for sealing her and Darcy in the pit before the nymph attack, it wasn't a fae on fae altercation, it was the twins vs all 4 heirs. The awakening was definitely worth the redownload too - with the Darius replacement.

Superb!

SO DAMN GOOD!! Why did it take me so long to start this? It’s going to be torture waiting for every book to be released in graphic audio though!

A review that covers everything without spoilers!

The first thing you want to know (as per the title) this is a Dramatized Narration. Please see the end of the review for explanations into Single, Dual, Duet, Full and Dramatized Narrations.

Overall: My opinion is to listen or read this!!
Tropes: Dark Bully, M/F, New Adult, Slow Burn, Paranormal, Fantasy, Romance, Enemies to Lovers
Steam: Rises throughout the series
BE WARNED: Graphic Audio has not completed the series as of yet, you will then have to wait, or read the books or listen to the other books in audible's Dual POV editions.

Dramatised: These audiobooks tend to divide opinions—you either love them or hate them. For every person who enjoys the sound effects and music, there’s someone who feels these elements interrupt the story. It’s all down to personal preference, as we all have different tastes. Personally, what I love most about dramatised audiobooks is that every character has their own voice actor, bringing the story to life in a way that mirrors how I imagine it when reading. This is why I can only listen to Duet, Full Cast, or Dramatised audiobooks. While the sound effects or music can occasionally feel cringey, the overall experience is incredibly fun and immersive in this book.

Story: I’m writing this review while currently on book 3, and I have to say, the further I get into the series, the more captivated I become. I’m fully rooting for the twins to get some well-deserved wins and payback, while also uncovering the guys’ perspectives and the reasons behind their actions. All I can say is, I’m here for the payback and the eventual groveling! If you're fine with the TW's, then stick with it—it’s absolutely worth it!

Trigger Warnings: While I personally have no triggers, you might, so I recommend checking them out before diving in. As a dark romance fan, I found the content relatively tame; HOWEVER, the emotional impact of this story hit me hard. Thinking about what the twins endure left me feeling emotionally crushed at times. It really makes you question: what’s worse—physical pain or emotional pain?

Performance: I loved some of the voice actors, while it took me a bit longer to warm up to others. My only critique is that it was sometimes challenging to figure out whether I was in Tory’s or Darcy’s POV, as the female narrators had similar tones and GA didn’t always make it explicitly clear.

Narration Explanations:

❌ Single Narration: One narrator voices the entire audiobook, performing all characters and narration.

❌ Dual Narration: Two narrators share the storytelling, often alternating chapters or sections, with each performing all the dialogue and action for their assigned parts. For example, in a chapter from Tory’s POV, her narrator voices not only Tory’s thoughts and narration but also Darius’s dialogue. Similarly, in a chapter from Darius’s POV, his narrator handles all the narration and dialogue, including Tory’s lines.

✅ Duet Narration: Two narrators perform together throughout the audiobook, each consistently voicing specific characters during both dialogue and narration. For example, in a chapter from Aly’s POV, her narrator will handle the narration, but if Josh is speaking to Aly, then Josh’s narrator will voice all of Josh’s spoken dialogue and vice versa.

✅ Full Cast Narration: A group of narrators performs the audiobook, with each actor voicing a specific character. Sometimes voicing multiple characters, but when done well, each voice is distinct enough for the listener to easily differentiate between them.

✅ Dramatized Narration: The audiobook includes voice actors for each character, sound effects, and music, resembling a radio play or audio drama for an immersive experience. Due to the inclusion of these elements, dramatised versions often condense or adapt the original text, resulting in shorter runtime compared to standard audiobooks.
