About this listen

Damian Garcia is a half assed mage and a world class thief living on the wrong side of town with his brother and their roommate. But when his latest heist turns into a rescue and he wakes up the next day with a tattoo on his arm Damian is forced into a world that he never expected to be involved in.

Faelyn Winterblade is the heir to the Winterblade empire, a criminal enterprise that his father had built from the ground up. But when he is kidnapped by a pair of prejudiced geriatrics and rescued by a thief wearing the worst glamour known to man and elf he is left with a gift that many had assumed was lost to his people. Now all Faelyn has to do is convince his mate that he’s serious about chasing him.

Apart from several sections where the narrator said the same lines twice it was really well narrated. The story line was really good, though the "Chase" could have been extended a bit longer to build tension. But otherwise this is on my reread list as I thoroughly enjoyed it and wished the story wasn't so short! While not ending on a cliff hanger this book has left me wanting more and am keen for the next book! I am satisfied that I purchased it.

Hmmm. I'm not sure what didn't work for me with this, either the prose or the narration, but I often found myself bored or rolling my eyes and some of the wording. The characters came across as somewhat stereotypical and the fated mates concept was a bit cringe in its delivery. But I did listen to the whole thing (just over 5 hours or I would have stopped) and something about the plot grew on me hence the 3 stars rather than 2. This book was free on audible but I don't think I'll bother to add the next in the series to my wishlist to use a credit on it.

Good concept, not so great delivery

Really enjoyed the story, it was well put together and I liked the characters a lot!
There were a couple of editing issues where the same line was repeated, but overall I thought the narration was well done
