About This Audiobook
Ethan has spent his entire life hiding the violent urges that his family attributes to mere antisocial behavior. A trip to Bermuda with friends seems like a temporary escape, until Emma walks into his life and begins to erode the defenses he built precisely for situations like this. When a danger from Emma's past arrives, Ethan faces a choice between the careful restraint that has defined him and a capacity for violence he has never allowed himself to use. Brenda K. Davies's third Vampire Awakenings entry is a dark paranormal romance built around a hero who is genuinely frightened of himself.
Meg Price brings the emotional register the vampire romance genre requires, giving Ethan's internal conflict genuine weight rather than treating his dangerous nature as merely decorative. Her narration keeps the stakes of his self-restraint credible, making the moments of release feel earned rather than gratuitous. At just over ten hours, this standalone-within-a-series entry works for both series fans and newcomers.
