About this listen
NOW AN AMAZON TOP 50 BESTSELLER
An all-new dark standalone romance from the USA Today & Wall Street Journal bestselling author, Shantel Tessier
THE CHOSEN ONE
Barrington University is home of the Lords, a secret society that requires their blood in payment. They are above all—the most powerful men in the world. They devote their lives to violence in exchange for power. And during their senior year, they are offered a chosen one.
I VOW. YOU VOW. WE VOW.
People think growing up with money is freeing, but I promise you, it’s not. My entire life has been planned out for me. I never got the chance to do what I wanted until Ryat Alexander Archer came along and gave me an option for a better life. He offered me what no one else ever had—freedom.
I chose to be his. He made me believe that anyway, but it was just another lie. A way that the Lords manipulate you into doing what they want.
After being sucked into the dark, twisted world of the Lords, I embraced my new role and allowed Ryat to parade me around like the trophy I was to him. But like all things, what started out as a game soon became a fight for survival. And the only way out was death.

Kept me gripped
This was a great listen, I was gripped throughout Ryat was such a character and they way he played hard to read emotionally through out. Blake had it rough throughout with all the twists in the story. I’m late to the reading of this but definitely worth the read/listen now off the the next one

Really good
The overall story and the way it’s written is really great, it’s gripping and keeps you interested for sure. However there are a couple of bits that are super cheesy/cringe and give Wattpad vibes, if you know what I mean.

Amazing book
This book is incredible, if you love a spicy dark romance then this is a great listen. My only note would be that the story/plot doesn’t thicken much until after half way past the book as it more focuses on the spice. There were many great avenues the plot could have gone down to give this book untouchable but I think the actual story/plot lacked slightly

DARK DARK DARK
I loved this series, I was flicking between audible and kindle as I wanted to keep reading/listening at word. Sooooooo good. Some parts of the story were a bit confusing just because it's all interconnected so i found myself having to rewind the audio or go back a few pages in kindle but no regrets! Love it! Cannot wait until Carnage is released

It was okay…
Having read the likes of Haunting Adeline and That Sik Love, the voice acting was impeccable and I was expecting the same with this. Sadly, it missed the mark for me. I can’t imagine how long and difficult reading a book like this aloud, but it was the M/F voices that took me right out of the story. With regards to the story, some of the parts felt really disjointed and drawn out longer than needed. But, I am interested and looking forward to the rest of the series.
