Summary
"It's inevitable. We love, it burns us, we love again. Or we don't, and we wither on the vine."
Emile de Guillory swore off love the night his wife died in his arms. Bazyli Drakos loves too deeply, despite what he stands to lose. The night of Prince Adrien's marriage to Isiodore de Mortain, Bazyli finds Emile poisoned in the royal gardens. He takes him back to his home in the lower city, where Bazyli and his silent demon nurse Emile back from the brink of death. What begins as an uneasy alliance turns into something more as Bazyli and Emile work to uncover the assassin who poisoned Emile that night - an assassin who can hide behind any face, even those Emile trusts the most.
But can Emile learn to open his heart again, and will anyone be waiting for him if he does?

So many editing issues!
Truth... I had a hard time concentrating when listening to this.
I still found that Emile and Bazyli's story, a story that I was most eager to reach, was missing the level of hotness ON page that the first 3 books had! I want to read how Emile took Bazyli over the table or the balcony not just have Emile think how Bazyli is mellow and under because he took him and that's that!
When it comes to the narration I'm a bit disappointed here. First of all, one of the first things Emile thinks about Bazyli is what a beautiful voice Bazyli has. The narrator, for all the good job he has done with the different voices of all the characters and staying true to them throughout the series, I can't say I would describe the voice he chose for Bazyli as beautiful! It was too deep and brought to mind a lumberjack than someone ethereal.
Secondly when he voiced Rose and Sophia and any female in distress the voices were too high pitched, so much so I was fighting a headache.
And lastly... SO MANY EDITING MISTAKES that I can't help but think that a wrong file was uploaded instead of the one where the re-workings of phrases weren't edited out nor the noise of what sounded like page turning could be heard.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
