About this listen
Shallow Hill is where souls suffer slow and miserable deaths.
When River McAllister escaped from Shallow Hill, she left her innocence behind—and some of her sanity. Now, she's rebuilding her life with her dream man, and life couldn't be better.
Ryan Fitzgerald is everything you'd want in a man. Attractive, rich, an aspiring lawyer, and would do anything to keep River. But that's not the only thing that attracts her. It's his attentiveness and possessiveness, but maybe not so much his temper.
When her relationship takes a dark turn, Ryan's estranged brother, Mako, is the only one who sees it. He knows exactly what Ryan is capable of, and it's not the first time he had to be a knight in shining armor.
River came from Shallow Hill, though. She's never needed saving before. What Mako doesn't see is that River is perfectly capable of taking care of herself.
The only one who should be scared is Ryan....

Story4 out of 5 stars 52
“Give me a second chance, babe . . . and I’ll blow your mind.” Monroe doesn’t know why she answers the text that’s obviously meant for someone else. Or why she keeps answering. Maybe it’s because she’s all alone in a big city and in desperate need of a lifeline. Or maybe it’s because each exchange leaves her intrigued and more than a little turned on. Still, Monroe never would’ve snarked back if she’d known she was talking to the “Golden Boy” of the Dallas Knights.

Welcome to Georgian England, circa 1800. Alastair Thorne is a cad and a rake. Even his mother told him so. Pity for her that he cannot bring himself to care, for he relishes his life of debauchery and licentiousness, and is content thinking of no-one but himself. Except Alastair may have just messed with the wrong fair maiden, and his life is about to be cut violently short. That is until he comes face to face with the enigmatic stranger who's been watching him from afar.

She is my muse, and I am her demon of music. A year ago, I witnessed sweet Scarlett Day’s dark side. She’s been my obsession ever since. I was content with being her secret, content with protecting her from afar… until an enemy from my past sets his sights on her. Our families have a deep history of hatred, and Scarlett is caught in the middle. Meanwhile, her mind plays tricks on her. When a panic attack goes horribly wrong, I emerge from the shadows to save her. Now that she’s mine, I can’t let her go. I’ve mastered the darkness. She tempts me with her light.

Stone was my best friend. My protector. My everything. Until he wasn’t. Kids like us didn’t have the best life, riddled with trauma, bounced around in a system that didn’t want us and couldn’t handle us. In our darkest hours, we had each other. Until we didn’t. We tried to hold on to what little we had. Maneuvering the rough waters of our circumstance. Until I couldn’t.

According to the FBI, I was considered a serial murderer after three kills. What do they call me after fifty-two? They call me the Silencer. One final bullet would have been all it took to stop me from taking another soul, and I would have been doing Meridian City a service by pulling that trigger. An angel crying for help stopped me, and that night, I took three lives for her. Then three turned into eight. Then eight turned into twenty. Twenty turned into twenty-one. Twenty-one turned into twenty-three.

I caught the attention of a monster. I didn’t ask for it. Didn’t even see it coming. But the moment I do, it’s too late. Killian Carson is a predator wrapped in sophisticated charm. He’s cold-blooded, manipulative, and savage. The worst part is that no one sees his devil side. I do. And that will cost me everything. I run, but the thing about monsters? They always chase.

My father called them messengers. He once told me they walked among us and that somewhere in this dark and godless city, there shined a faint sliver of hope. I had only to look for the signs. Well, I’ve spent my whole life investigating the inexplicable and all I've found are the unsettling vestiges of iniquity—the evidence of another world shrouded by the obscure. Purgatory to some, where depravity hides in shadows, and girls like me are little more than delicious bites of temptation. Others call it Nightshade.

I’d never forgotten him - a man I’d yet to meet. Griffin Quinn was my childhood pen pal, the British boy who couldn’t have been more different from me. Over the years, through hundreds of letters, we became best friends, sharing our deepest, darkest secrets and forming a connection I never thought could break. Until one day, it did. Then, out of the blue, a new letter arrived. A scathing one - one with eight years of pent-up anger. I had no choice but to finally come clean as to why I stopped writing. Griffin forgave me, and we were able to rekindle our childhood connection.

I just need to keep scraping by, living under the radar. Staying out of people's way, off people's minds. When a man walks through my open patio door, stepping boldly into my home and my life, I should be scared, frightened, terrified. I must be more broken than I realized because I'm none of those things. I'm intrigued—and I'm wondering if the way to take control of my life is by giving in to him.

Over the past year, she’s had to endure more pain and suffering than most people are asked to bear in their lifetimes. She’s a pariah, an outcast, a ghost. She’s also never been one to take shit lying down, though...despite what half the football team might say. With only 168 days left of the school year, it won’t be long until graduation, and Silver’s planning on skipping town and leaving Raleigh firmly in her rearview mirror. Until he comes along....

And the Oscar goes to…
Jacob Morgan slayed the narration! Seriously impressive commitment! He gave each male character he voiced so much life!!! Bravo!!! I’m a fan now! Michelle Sparks is always a favourite! Great duet between these two and always appreciate a true duet!!!
The voice acting really was special in this story and that was certainly no easy task here. Definitely check your triggers!

Not what I expected
First, Jacob Morgan and Michelle Sparks? Yes. The performances were excellent. These two are some of the best narrators I’ve ever listened to.
Second, the book is well written overall, there were a few times it dragged and other times it went so fast I had to re-listen to make sure I got it all. There were moments of heartbreak and passion.
Third, what surprised me, and disturbed me, was the violence. I knew it was going to be a dark story by the description and the cover art. I often read dark romances. I wasn’t prepared for the many and frequency of scenes that included physical and mental domestic violence, violent sexual assault, and descriptions of child abuse. I would definitely suggest that some content warnings be added to the book’s description. If you are triggered by any of those, this is not the book for you.
Overall, I can’t say whether or not I enjoyed the book. In the end, I’m quite ambivalent. This would not be a book I’d be interested in reading again.

'He sucks you in, body and soul, with no chance of escape while he destroys every last bit of you."
This was an absolutely devastating story, told in the must gut wrenching yet beautiful way.
It will always amaze me how H.D. Carlton can capture such dark themes and create the perfect stories with them.
Mako and Rivers' story was fantastic. River went through HELL, yet she never stopped fighting and trying to escape the awful situations she was thrown into.
Mako was perfection. Patient in every way, he never pushed River too far, yet was always there to make sure she was safe.
I wouldn't define this as a romance, not in the slightest. It was a story of survival and a devastating look into the world of DV relationships and emotional trauma. Yes, there is a happy ending and a swoon worthy love interest, but the story is so much more than that
It's definitely one of my favorites by H.D!
And the audiobook was incredible! Jacob Morgan and Michelle Sparks did an incredible job being these characters to life and really captured the raw emotions within the story!

Undecided....
I unexpectedly enjoyed Haunting Adeline and Hunting Adeline (even though the latter was hard to listen to for the initial part of the story). I was really expecting this story to follow in the same footsteps. I knew there would be trigger warnings, but I wasn't expecting for over 50% of the audiobook to be solely focused on describing DV, SA and child SA. If I hadn't had paid for this audiobook instead of using a credit, I would have stopped listening and returned it. The second half, although still containing difficult scenes, was a lot better and flowed vs dragging like I had been up to then. It's definitely not on my re-listen or favorites list, but I am glad I listened until the end and it was wrapped up well.

Keep them coming!
I jumped right into this one after the Cat and Mouse duet!! Some scenes are hard to get through **trigger warning** many SA scenes. Love the spice love the story between all characters, the narrators HOT as usual!! finished in a few days!

Read Triggers beforehand, there are a lot of them
Besides the fact that this is bad writing in general (feels like a teen wrote it?). There is a lot of SA including child SA and domestic abuse that makes it cringy to read through. I’ve read dark romances before but I’m not sure how the SA forwards the plot in anyway, and it happens a lot. Why is this rated so high?
Read the triggers before starting this book.
