The narrators for the book were good, though we only hear from Joe Arden (Mount) a handful of times. Lucky me, the Army Library has plenty of her books and the ones they don’t have I will pick up! With the exception of Keira, I loved the characters and look forward to all the growth as the story progresses. Overall, Ruthless King snared me and I have found a new author that I adore. Hopefully, I will like her more in the next book.

I wish she would listen to Magnolia’s advice a little better. I did like the fire she showed in the one-on-ones with Mount.

I wish I liked her character more but she just grated on me during her inner turmoil moments. Keira “Ke-Ke” was a frustrating character and I’m hoping she experiences some growth in the next book. I’m really hoping we get a better look into who he is in book two, which I can hardly wait to dive into because that ENDING had me sitting up shouting “WHAT?” and my child and husband staring at me like I had lost my mind. He isn’t just a completely unhinged loon being a menace. The best part about Mount, aside from being deliciously wicked, is the ability to rationalize his behavior. I decided to take a chance because I didn’t mind the gal’s voice and since I’ve committed to trying something new each week, this was my plunge for new experiences!Īnti-heroes can be so fun. I like when the emotion comes through rather than just a neutral reading. I tend to have a difficult time with audiobooks as narrators tend to be hit or miss with me. I selected the audiobook for Ruthless King on a whim as I trolled through my library’s options last week.
