An all-new dark standalone romance from the USA Today & Wall Street Journal bestselling author, Shantel Tessier


THE CHOSEN ONE

Barrington University is home of the Lords, a secret society that requires their blood in payment. They are above all—the most powerful men in the world. They devote their lives to violence in exchange for power. And during their senior year, they are offered a chosen one.

I VOW. YOU VOW. WE VOW.

People think growing up with money is freeing, but I promise you, it’s not. My entire life has been planned out for me. I never got the chance to do what I wanted until Ryat Alexander Archer came along and gave me an option for a better life. He offered me what no one else ever had—freedom.

I chose to be his. He made me believe that anyway, but it was just another lie. A way that the Lords manipulate you into doing what they want.

After being sucked into the dark, twisted world of the Lords, I embraced my new role and allowed Ryat to parade me around like the trophy I was to him. But like all things, what started out as a game soon became a fight for survival. And the only way out was death.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It sat in my wishlist for a while but now that it's over I'm regretting not listening to it sooner. The story had a great flow, the character development was really beautiful to ride through and the narrators did a fantastic job. The spice was also 10/10

Great Story

OMG, really struggling with this male narrator (sorry). Chapter 11 and I’m so tempted to stop listening. Female is ok.

Narrators

Wen did good job narrating the male parts but I feel Zara exaggerated the female parts, it almost sounded condescending at times.

However listening to this audible made it easier to read the book.

Good plot but..
