THE DARKEST TORMENT Lords of the Underworld, Book 12

Narrator Max Bellmore delivers an extraordinary performance of this twelfth Lord of the Underworld novel, featuring Baden, a ruthless killer bound to the king of underworld who finds himself the unwilling captor of a stunning and strong woman. Even though Katarina Joelle knows she should hate her fierce kidnapper, she can’t deny their shared passion, or her growing fascination with his dark, enthralling world. Though he sounds rushed at times, Bellmore shifts impressively between the brutal violence of Baden’s battles and the intense emotionality of his growing need for Katarina. His voice reflects that tension in every scene. He negotiates the foreign expressions and varied cast well, demonstrating their intense relationships clearly and immersing listeners in this high-stakes series installment.
