Xander is cursed with the ability to hear thoughts. It’s a burden he hates until he realizes one voice he hears is real and not something his mind has made up. This is such a great start to the series, we learn of the legend that surrounds the town. The story is tragic, it’s beautiful, and it’s suspenseful. I could not put it down, it was like reading a dark fairytale and you just had to know what happens next. (

DNF. Good premise, but terrible writing. Main love interest is an egregious case of insta-love. Stopped reading when the grandma died and I literally could've cared less. (

Race the Darkness by Abbie Roads

An intense paranormal romance thriller. First in a series.
The hero was hit by lightning. He wears the scars and is tortured by hearing the thoughts and amplified sounds all around him. He uses the hearing power to interrogate criminals.
The heroine was captured as a teen and has been tortured and starved in captivity for years.
He’s be able to hear her for years but didn’t think it was real.
Now he’s rescued her from captivity but it seems the danger isn’t over.

An extreme thrill ride. The connection between them is compelling. Their main thought is always to protect the other. Which can be their downfall.
When Xander smiles, it’s heart wrenching. Finally he’s not alone!
I didn’t like her propensity for self injury to avoid the emotional. I get that she is used to the physical pain but this bothered me.

Overall an outstanding read. (
