About this listen

For three years, I’ve resided in Alabaster Penitentiary. Surrounded by the same faces day in and day out, the deranged souls I now call my friends. We eat our meals together, shower together… Hell, we even fool around on occasion.

Still, after all that, not one of them truly knows me.

It’s my fault. I’m a withdrawn hoarder of secrets. A shadowman, dwelling on the sidelines, damned to this pit of despair for reasons I still can’t accept.

Being the outsider in a group of weirdos isn’t always fun. After all, if no one sees me, do I even exist?

Okay, let’s not go there.

I’m resenting my permanent sidekick status when a distraction arrives. A newcomer—tall, mysterious, and severely beautiful, with black hair and violet eyes. His abrupt arrival has my prison pals suspicious. But not me. I’m instantly intrigued by that peculiar gaze, following me like nothing has before.

He actually sees me. And it’s intoxicating.

Trevel Fenwick could be an ally. Maybe he could be… more.

My body sure seems to think so. But the brighter he lights me up, the deeper he slips into the shadows himself.

What is this striking stranger hiding behind that charming accent and penetrating stare? Why is his need to seek revenge so strong? And can we fight past our demons enough to become real partners in crime?

When a brutal storm ravages Alabaster Isle, we’re left sifting through the rubble. The fences are down. Stress cracks in the foundation, secrets escape, fragile loyalties tested. But the war is far from over…

In fact, it’s only just begun.

**Shadowman is a dark MM romance that must be listened to in order. For CW's visit author's website.

Amazing performance!! Loved the narration from Emil and Owen. The continuation was everything. Byron and Trevel are two great characters who are perfectly imperfect. My favourite of the series so far. The pacing of the book was done really well to explain the story and give detail. The writing is beautiful and detailed, the banter and spice were also top tier.

This was worth the wait

Having listened to the rest of the series I ran to this as soon as it came out. It was well worth the wait. Nyla K’s ability to turn the least interesting character into the most was extraordinary. The connections of strands and return to stories from the other books was nothing short of genius. Just hands down brilliant storytelling and characterisation. While the narrators were great at their own voices they struggled a bit with each others. Especially the ‘British’ accent. It made me smile at times. However, it didn’t take away from the enjoyment of the book. Love love love it! Can’t wait for The Ivory. But I might cry when the whole thing ends.
