Fantasy romance
Spicy

Wow. Ok this was really good. I had to go back and listen to the first book before listening to this. I hadn’t realized this was a second in series. The first book was slow burn material and about building the world and connection of the two main characters.

This book was everything that one wasn’t. This had the spicy spice sauce poured all over it.

Beware there is a heck of a cliffhanger! Need book three ASAP!

If you’re a fan of fantasy romance then this series is definitely for you.

If you enjoyed book one you are going to absolutely eat this up with a spoon! Our characters go through it! The way the spice is spread out throughout the adventure feels very well spaced to keep us wanting more. There are a lot of fun twists and that cliffhanger killed me. I can't wait for book three.

i liked this series a lot and the audio is definitely making the experience so much better! i’m really enjoying the story line

Book 2 of The Flame King's Captives in audiobook format is an absolute emotional rollercoaster. I’m still processing everything that happened. The cliffhanger left me stunned, and I’m left shouting “WHY?!” at my headphones. I never could have predicted that twist. I need answers, and I need them immediately.

First, Isavelle truly shines in this book. The narrator does an excellent job capturing her growth as she embraces her fate as the Omega mate of the Flame King, a witch, and a dragon rider. What I particularly love about her character is how she defies the typical Omega trope. Isavelle isn’t a passive or submissive figure; she’s a fierce, commanding queen who stands her ground while also being compassionate and loving. The narrator’s voice reflects this strength and independence, bringing Isavelle’s character to life with confidence and depth. It’s empowering to hear her challenge expectations in such a captivating way.

Next, Zabriel. In the first book, I was hesitant. While he was undeniably attractive, he came across as a bit too domineering for my taste. In book 2, however, he completely won me over. The narrator portrays him with a perfect balance of protectiveness, possessiveness, and tenderness. Zabriel’s willingness to let Isavelle be her own person adds layers to his character, making him both swoon-worthy and supportive. The narrator switches seamlessly between their voices, highlighting the chemistry between them, especially during their intimate moments. I can confidently say Zabriel has now earned his place as my book boyfriend.

The plot is another standout element. The story picks up significantly in book 2, with faster-paced action and higher stakes. New characters are introduced, and I’m left wondering who can be trusted. The narrator’s pacing heightens the suspense, keeping me hooked and on edge. The delivery of certain scenes adds an additional layer of tension, making every twist and turn even more thrilling.

I thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook, even more than the first. It’s clear that the author is refining her craft—world-building, character development, and plot all come together in a much stronger way. The cliffhanger, though, has me desperate for answers. The narrator’s portrayal of the final moments was intense and gripping.

If you’re a fan of dragons, fated mates, unexpected plot twists, and complex characters, this series is for you. I’m anxiously awaiting book 3 because I absolutely need to know what happens next.
