Books you cringe at, but can't stop listening to because their is that glimmer of light. This series is exactly that. We pick up book 2 where we left off, and the suspense does not let up. Just when you think Quinton and Aspen have a chance, something happens. Sometimes it's Quinton, but sometimes it's not. The hate for Aspen's family is evident, and the school is not going to let her off...ever. It's dark. It's dangerous, It's abusive. It's loving. It has it all. Quinton is a very complex character. Conflicted does not even cover his emotions. Love Aspen? Hate Aspen? Depends on the moment and his actions reflect it. Aspen needs to get stronger, though it has to be hard with all that is coming at her. And JL Beck and C Hallman are not letting up. The cliffhanger leaves us wondering and need the last installment of their story! I cannot wait to see how this all plays out. It's going to be a wild ride.

Zara Eden and Connor Brown continue their narration of these character. There is a huge cast in this series, and these two are spot on with each one. Eden plays Aspen with care. She is emotionally drained, doesn't know who she can trust and just finds the solace she needs in Quinton. Eden finds her soul and gives us all of her pain. Brown has some crazy boys to play, but Quinton is the toughest. He pulls out all the stops, letting us feel his conflict, letting us hate and love him. This is a good casting of characters and a great listen.

Dark and suspenseful!

I cannot get enough of this series and after this second book, I definitely need book three to see how this all plays out now. Drop Dead Queen picks up where book one left off with Aspen having left Corium, but she soon returns and it is one thing after another in a series of events that has her life in danger or being bullied. Quinton plays both her rescuer and an adversary along the way, giving both of them, and most likely the reader/listener a bit of whiplash along the way. In the moments he is more vulnerable and open to Aspen and protecting her, I find him the most appealing. He is a bit harder to accept at others. This story is definitely not lacking in drama or suspense, and ends on a major cliffhanger that was utterly devastating. My heart went out to Aspen throughout this story because of her lack of support and constant badgering from others, but she continues to persevere. The audiobook for this story ws extremely well done and kept me completely immersed in this story from beginning to end. Zara Eden and Connor Brown did a phenomenal job narrating and capturing all of the complex emotions of this dark and twisted story. I cannot wait to see how the rest of this story plays out. #PinkFlamingoProductions #TheFlock

Man, I almost went into heart palpitations. This story has you on the edge and panting, to the point that you want to stop but can’t. Wow!!! Love the authors. The narrators did an amazing job with this performance and just added an amazing dimension to the experience.

This book broke my heart and it is a lot darker than the first - Aspen goes through it all in this. The aftermath in the woods was a highlight where we get a glimpse of Aspen and Q in their own non-Corium world but the push and pull does get a little repetitive as it did in the first book once they get back to school. I liked the idea of Aspen and Q against the world rather than just behind closed doors especially after Ren's actions at the end of book one. Instead Ren is just let off the hook then seems to become a totally different character which was a bit of a missed opportunity.

Scarlett and Brittany both continue to be the best side characters and even Anya showed more growth than Q. He needs to do a lot more growing to deserve Aspen - he's getting there but at a painfully slow pace. His relationship with Scarlett is one of the few things which gives me hope for this character.

Zara Eden and Connor Brown continue from their performances in book one; Eden showcasing Aspen's continued resilience and Brown dealing with secrets from Q's past being revealed however both made me shudder while reading Matteo. What a scumbag. I'm looking forward to their performances in book three following that harrowing ending.

My interpretation of the star system;
3 stars - I enjoyed it; would read the author again
4 stars - I really liked it; I am invested and definitely want more from this author/series
5 stars - I loved it; I engaged with this book completely until I finished it and it is one I will re-read
