This is the first book in the Echo Power trilogy, a dark, steamy dystopian paranormal romance. Allison and Dax's story is well written, steamy, suspenseful, and action packed, filled with unpredictable twists and turns. Allison, a human, is strong, smart, and feisty. Dax, a beast, is dark, enigmatic, and determined. I liked the banter, and the slow burn romance. This is a great enemies-to-lovers romance. The world building is original and captivating. Impossible to put it down. John Hartley and Stella Hunter did an outstanding job with the narration. Looking forward to listening to Echo Dominion, the next book in the series.
