About this listen

Jacob Knight wakes up to a bloodbath at the mall, with him at the epicenter. He is quickly arrested and forced to fight on a secret squad of metahumans who are given a choice between forced military service or prison.

The problem is, he has no idea what his ability is, and no one will give him a straight answer. But one thing is clear: he needs to figure it out, and fast, since the success of his first mission hinges on him.

Prologue

I heard her scream again, yelling as loud as she could muster, but it was lost in the fire this time, unable to penetrate the heat. I think she ordered him to stop. We both ignored her anyway, just staring at each other through the white energy pouring out of his body. It was like a powerful storm of pure thermal plasma raging out of him, like shaking hands with the center of a super nova.

He wasn’t angry. If anything, he was a little surprised, but there was something else there too.

Respect.

He was a monster who could survive an ungodly amount of heat, who could live in the flames. And I was equally a monster, who could stand in the flames with him. Something no one else could do. Something he could respect.

I liked another one of Kurtis's books as a bit of a smutty powerfantasy series. This book tries to do the same thing, but the main love interest is 16, while the MC seems to be portrayed as older though I don't really remember him stating his age at all. That feels super not OK. If you're going to have those kinds of situations and descriptions, you just straight up cannot have the female lead be that young. I've only given it a few hours and it may get better but if it does you need to be able to square with the fact that it feels really pedo early, and personally I cannot handle that. At least so far nothing has happened between them except the MC checking her out a lot but even that was unbearable. Holy shit Kurtis would it have hurt you in any way at all to just make her like 20. As far as I can see it wouldn't have changed any of the story, other than making the reader less uncomfortable. I hope theres no hard feelings man, I've enjoyed some of your other stuff but I gotta refund this one.

Also, voice acting was fine, no judgement on them. Multiple varied voices, mostly well acted. The plots a dealbreaker though.

This made me uncomfortable.
