Raven Monroe:

I was meant to live my life in silence, but with the help of my three men, I’ve been able to break free of my cage and fly. Though life is unbelievably quieter for us now in New York, there is still just one… soft… lingering lullaby faintly composing itself in the back of my mind.

The altar awaits.

But a shallow grave sings louder.

And my Death Lullaby is swelling into a full symphony, dragging me back to a lonely mansion I once called ‘home.’

Some melodies are just meant to end in bloodshed.

Seriously, Ruby Darling, Joe Arden, Heather Firth. THE golden trio.
Okay, maybe Ruby Darling, Joe Arden and Amy Hall.
Or Ruby Darling, Andi Eloise and Caden Hart.
Common Denominator? Ruby MF Darling.

This entire trilogy was a ride from Speak to Always.
Heather Firth? In pure Goddess fashion, Heather's magnification of Raven inner monologue, voice and signing, were all immaculate transitions. I was never confused between the three. Not to mention channeling Raven's rage and at times self-hatred was beautifully done.
Joe Arden? Ruby Darling once called him the Titan of Voice Acting during an interview and she's absolutely right. The intensity and emotional range Joe portrays from Maverick to Mav's beast, Damon's doctor voice to his carting Daddy Dom nature to Jonas's lovable meathead-ness and his overruling obsessive tender nature towards Raven is astounding.

Story-wise: this was the perfect goodbye, the proper send off, the most beautiful ending to all endings. Thank you, Ruby.

Name a more iconic TRIO

Six simple words.

Damon. Speaks. French. And. Chapter. Nineteen.

That’s it. That’s the review. That’s the damage report. Because why is this man out here whispering sweet nothings in French like he personally decided we all deserved to spiral? And don’t even get me started on Chapter Nineteen. I went in hydrated and stable and came out feral.

If that’s not a sufficient review for you, I regret to inform you I am emotionally unavailable for further commentary at this time.

Oh, and Heather and Joe freaking k!lled it as they always do.

Anyway. Five stars. No notes. Send help.

I DONT WANT TO SAY GOODBYE. Welp, think its confirmed that this has become a comfort listen for me. THIS audiobook...this book...its perfection. I read the book and while reading the book, I knew this audio would be amazing. Its like I could hear it in my head but what was performed, its more than I could have imagines.
Ruby wrote a book that felt like home. These characters feel like I personally know them. Its more than spice but lawd, the spice was AMAZING. AND THE NARRATORS?! they just made them that much more real.
Heather....oh heather. I dont think anyone else could have brought our Raven to life and I dont think anyone understands how difficult it is for that stutter. The emotion, the hurt, the love. Heather did AMAZING.
Joe...Its perfection as well. The range of these men. How different and real they all feel. The pacing, the tone, it was all perfectly done.
I will love this series.....always (see what I did there? Jonas would have laughed)

Perfection
