About this listen

The Manipulator

I can manipulate the emotions of anyone who lets me.

I will make you hurt, make you cry, make you laugh and sigh.

But my words don't affect him. Especially not when I plead for him to leave.

He's always there, watching and waiting.

And I can never look away.

Not when I want him to come closer.

The Shadow

I didn't mean to fall in love.

But now that I have, I can't stay away.

I'm mesmerized by her smile, by her eyes, and the way she moves.

The way she undresses...

I'll keep watching and waiting. Until I can make her mine.

And once she is, I'll never let her go.

Not even when she begs me to.

While not required, it is highly suggested to listen to the novella Satan's Affair first.

Author's Note: This book ends on a cliff-hanger. For CWs, please check the author's website.

I have listen to numerous people rave about this book all over tik tok. Exclaiming about the deprived and twisted story line how ever I found it quite predictable and the human trafficking aspect to be made overly horrific by using children for shock factor rather than actually trying to create a suspenseful read, how ever you become desensitised to the shock by how regularly your given the same type of situations involving kids. The romance aspect has a very ambiguous tone of primal play that wasn’t executed extremely well. The little girl references were far to repetitive. The most thrilling part of the entire story was the sub story of GIGI and solving her murder. Which I ended up calling way Before it was even precluded to.

Narration was fantastic that was definitely part of why I finished reading however I don’t feel compelled to know how the cliff hanger ends.
If you have read stories around human trafficking and the triggers they entail I can honestly say I’ve read ones far more dark and suspenseful than this on. Without the need to use children to beef up the content.

I do apologise for the harsh review how ever I feel TikTok ruined this book as it probably would have been a more entertaining read had I not been lead to believe it was “deeply disturbing”.

Just for future readers reference there is no actual child SA just violence/death against kids with the insinuation of SA.
Dub-con however seems more primal with terms not specifically outlined. She enjoys the thrill of being chased and has a bit of a, im assuming degradation kink, be he throws out a lot of praise as well that is quite confusing. He enjoys the chase and forces his proximity onto her.

All in all give it a go. I personally didn’t feel the heart pounding frozen in place what’s gunna happen next vibes. But hey it might be different for you as I’ve read a few that have had me laying awake at night with no ability to sleep. After the car crash I just couldn’t turn away from.
