Length: 11 hrs and 3 mins

Publisher's summary

All I’ve ever known is the Guild. They clothed me, fed me, raised me. They trained me. And in return I became their perfect weapon, their loyal soldier, their deadly asset. For as long as I can remember, the Guild has been my life. But now, it’s about to become my death.

Not everyone is cut out to be a mercenary. I’ve watched countless colleagues fail in their missions and pay the ultimate price. I’ve watched peers lose their minds with the weight of the work we do, and pay with their lives to keep our secrets.

I never thought I would become one of them.

No one quits the Guild. But I sure as hell won’t stick around to be killed by some coward in the shadows, pulling strings to see me fail.

How do I run from the deadliest of hunters?

How will I hide when they have eyes everywhere?

By making the enemy of my enemy my friend.

The Guild was my whole life. My purpose. My mentor.

Now I’ll do anything to escape them. To escape him.

Even if it hurts.

Especially if it hurts.

Tate Hames does it again!

I love that she uses different narrators! Great performances by Sparks, Mehrtens and Webley!

This story continues from Honey Trap, left on a great cliff hanger cannot wait for the next book!

Amazing!!!

This is an addictive series! Reverse harem, very steamy, fast paced, great plot. Assassins guild turning on one if their own.
Duet style narration with wonderful voices.
Completed series but part of the Shadow Grove world with Easter Eggs of both the Madison Kate & Hades series.

I enjoyed the heck out of this book

oh the webs they weave...everyone is keeping secrets and the more that gets uncovered the more questions there are. Several important points finally make sense in this book though but that ending left me with my jaw on the ground. Also, can I just say how much I adore Leon! He cracks me up with his crazy but while he has many secrets he's also the more honest of the 2.

-gasps in righteous outrage-

The audacity of Mrs James and her cliffies just get more and more brazen! She draws you into her world like no others and it's annoying as all get out to screech to a halt at what feels like a dreadfully abrupt pause. Now I'm going to run off to kindle and ignore the world around me so I can read the next book as it's out over there already because I need to know someone rescues Stanley right this very second.

Epic

Perfect narration, fascinating characters, great storyline. I read a lot of these kinds of books and so I’m familiar with the tropes, but this storyline was really unexpected. I wasn’t sure where the book was going. Rather than a good guy/bad guy scenario there’s two slightly unhinged guys with lots of red flags. Leon’s character is just the best. This is my favorite Tate James series so far.

Addicting

Absolutely love this entire series! It’s addicting and I can’t get enough. The narration was great.

Another Amazing Book!

Plenty of twist, turns and mystery! You must read Book 1 and then patiently wait for book 3. Tate James finds the best narrators to pull you into the book. I read the book first then buy the audio when it comes out. They are so good it is almost like getting to read it for the first time again.

Author Knocks it out of the park

Honestly, I'm really not surprised any more with Tate James' caliber of books. She is a master at world creation and storytelling.

This is book two out of three book series. The 3rd book will be out June 2022, but the audiobook usually takes a couple months so take that for what you will. I haven't found audiobooks better than Tate James'. She always has the best narrators and this one set the bar even higher. Truly a gift.

Ok in general, but THE WORST French pronunciations

Sorry, but mispronounced words drive me nuts & when they are repeated often, it’s even worse.
In general, the story complements the other series by this author.

Twists and turns

Excellent storyline with unexpected twists and turns. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series to explain the cliffhanger this book ended with.
