What do you do when the guy you’ve loved since you were 14 is sent to the most dangerous prison in Solaria for saving your life? Okay, so maybe he doesn’t love me back. And maybe getting sent down would seem insane to some, but I’m Rosalie Oscura, champion underground cage-fighter and alpha werewolf from the infamous Oscura Clan. My family wrote the book on criminal organizations, and I’ll be ruling this place by the time the next moon rises. Then I just need to get to work on busting us the hell out of here.

I’d fight for them until my dying breath. It’s just a shame they didn’t feel the same. Once upon a time, my imperfect world shone bright with the light of four boys I would have killed for. This is the story of how they destroyed me.

Brie would do anything before making a deal with the Fae; death is better than their vicious schemes. But when her sister is taken by the sadistic king of the Unseelie court, there is nothing Brie wouldn't do to get her back - including making a deal with the king himself to steal three magical relics from the rival Seelie court. Gaining unfettered access to the Seelie court is easier said than done. Brie's only choice is to pose as a potential bride for the Seelie Prince, Ronan - a prince who's not quite as wicked as she once thought.

I caught the attention of a monster. I didn’t ask for it. Didn’t even see it coming. But the moment I do, it’s too late. Killian Carson is a predator wrapped in sophisticated charm. He’s cold-blooded, manipulative, and savage. The worst part is that no one sees his devil side. I do. And that will cost me everything. I run, but the thing about monsters? They always chase.

If this arrogant Irish mobster my brother sold my niece to thinks I’m going to play nice over this arranged-marriage BS, he should think again. I don’t care if this match with the Mob will make my brother capo of the Five Families. I don’t care how much money, territory, or power it will gain us. I especially don’t care that the Irishman is the sexiest man I’ve ever seen. I won’t allow my innocent niece to suffer the same way I did. Even if I have to kill him.

When Pestilence comes for Sara Burn’s town, one thing is certain: everyone she knows and loves is marked for death. Unless, of course, the angelic-looking horseman is stopped, which is exactly what Sara has in mind when she shoots the unholy beast off his steed. Too bad no one told her Pestilence can’t be killed. Now the horseman, very much alive and very pissed off, has taken her prisoner, and he’s eager to make her suffer. Only, the longer she’s with him, the more uncertain she is about his true feelings towards her, and hers towards him. And now, well, Sara might still be able to save the world, but in order to do so, she'll have to sacrifice her heart in the process.

Story
Being in the Guild is our life…or death. Not everyone is created equal, and not everyone is truly cut out for the work we do. It’s not pretty, it’s not glamorous, and it’s sure as shit not moral or good. The weight of the sins we carry can become too much for some, and they crack. When they do, they become a threat. No one quits the Guild. Not really. Either they cut a deal to make themselves useful in another capacity, or they get eliminated. But who, you might ask, can kill a killer? Who scares the boogeyman into running and hiding? Men like me.

Amazing Tate has done it again
- By Sarah-Jayne Hanley on 01-06-22
Summary
The winds of fate are shifting, and it finally seems like they’ve been twisted in our favor.
On the run and cast out from society, we’ve been forced to hide from the madman who stole our throne. But as more secrets come to light, and my sister and I work harder than ever before to reach our potential and claim our birthright, the end is finally drawing closer. There is no turning from this path now.
The curse chases on our heels as time rushes by, and the blood-drenched destiny of the man I love looms ever closer just like the monster who stole our throne. We must prepare for the final battle, but three things are clear now—the cards have already been dealt, blood will spill for a new future to rise, and the stars themselves can’t help us.
The fight for the throne is upon us. All hail the heartless sky.

Powerful, enthralling Storytelling
Agony! Soul-destroying agony! That is how I feel after reading this book and getting to that ending! However, it wasn't all bad as the authors gave us a lot of good things before driving us off the cliff as they laugh manically like the evil geniuses' they are.
Seth has absolutely no self-preservation skills in Heartless Sky and really needs to learn to listen to the advice given, put his big boy pants on and just stop beating around the bush! The tension between him and Caleb sky rockets and in true Seth fashion he can't help but ruin everything so badly it had me both raging at him and wanting to give him snuggles. As it is Seth he also had me crying with laughter at his crazy antics and when he finally meets another equally as funny character from a previous series its even more hilarious!
Do they give us these happy moments to lull us into a false sense of security? Yes. Did they wrap us up in soft blankets and pillows that make us feel warm and cosy and then incinerate them into ash never to be used again? By the stars, yes! Did they give us lots and lots of werewolf snuggles to sate our werewolf instincts then force us to go cold turkey? Most definitely! Do the authors give us some of what we have been begging for? Absolutely. Does this make up for the ending? Ask me again in a few days. Do I still think you should start this series? Without a shadow of a doubt 100%! After all how can you experience true happiness without pain? The dawn is always darkest just before the light!
The audio narrators are some of my favourites having down other series by these authors they are the perfect ones that bring this story to life. These authors are on another level of skill when it comes to the powerful, emotional story telling they create and Heartless Sky is one of their best works! Immediately they have you feeling something and so engrossed in the story more than any other author I have ever read.
Heartless Sky is just perfection, a beast of a story but well worth the hours needed to listen to the entire thing! Highly recommend this series and book to anyone Heartless Sky is more than a good story its a work of art! A true masterpiece!

Another Book?
This should have been the last book in this series, in my opinion. This book could have easily answered the cliffhangers in the last book. We didn’t need another battle to look forward to, someone else not being able to act freely, two main characters not knowing how to let their feelings show. These twins have had so much awful stuff happen to them. You almost hate to see something go right for them because they pay for it ten times over. It’s ridiculous. This series should be called Unlucky Twins. I’m not looking forward to the next book. At this point I’m not sure anything is worth all this.

Bordeaux VO just does not miss
Jake and Bridget Bordeaux have once again taken an already perfect book and made it that much better with their voice work. The way these narrators are able to seamlessly shift between such wildly different characters and personify them better than I could ever imagine in every book that they narrate never ceases to amaze me. This is another must listen.

Epic listen
Holy mother of all emotions! This book threw me through the ringer. Seriously. I laughed so hard I almost peed myself at Xavier antics. I cried…. A lot. Seriously so much. I swooned. So much swoony goodness. And the rage!!!!! Wtf is happening and just no. I don’t accept it. This series has been so different in every book and I have to say this one has the most happening! So much going on! I am seriously tongue tied as how to describe this book other then to say it’s amazing. I am emotional beat down in the best way and the worst way and I will be stalking for the next book!
Narrators knocked it out if the park once again! Bringing so much life to these characters and taking an emotion rollar coaster and making it epic!

So far it's not a bad series, just roll my eyes when Darci is up, is she a bad ass on the verge of crying constantly? breathy and whiny.. it's hard to listen to sometimes. otherwise it's a good time killer at work. Geraldine is the best!

The True Never Ending Story…
…And not in a good way. The cheesy puns and corny references make me cringe. The first three books were written with a whole different tone and feel. The decision to keep putting off the the ending of this story is frustrating and irritating. I doubt I’ll finish the series, the ending is not worth the struggle of listening for hours on end just to have the characters tortured over and over with no resolution.
