About this listen

The Devils of Vitality always spot a liar.

Rin Varun’s got something to hide.

That’s a lie. He’s got several things. Traveling to a different galaxy was meant to make his life less complicated, but a year in on this new planet and he’s still fighting off his demons. There’s no better place to learn how to keep skeletons buried than the Academy, where they teach their cadets how to uncover them, and Rin is determined to graduate in order to ensure those demons stay hidden. He doesn’t want to stand out, doesn’t want accolades, or high marks. He just wants to coast by unnoticed, and he’s doing a decent job until he draws the attention of the Devil Prince.

Kelevra Diar doesn’t do disguises.

Who would bother with a mask when they have a face as tantalizing as his? As the Imperial Prince Third in line for the throne, Kel’s used to getting anything and everything he wants faster than he can raise his hand to snap his fingers. The drawback to this is even murder has lost its intrigue, and there’s nothing more dangerous than a bored Devil of Vitality. Then a cadet catches his eye and suddenly things are starting to look interesting again. Rin is unlike anyone Kelevra’s ever known, with monsters hiding under his bed that might rival Kel’s sociopathic nature.

When Kelevra decides to make it his mission to draw those monsters out to play, Rin unsurprisingly resists, but that only makes him more invested. Suddenly the impulsive prince realizes he’s in this for the long haul, even if that means forcing Rin’s hand through an arranged betrothal. Rin has no idea why Kel has taken such an intense interest in him, but no matter what he tries, he can’t shake free of him. The sex between them may be explosive, and Kelevra may be the most attractive person he’s ever seen, but is that enough for Rin to drop his guard and reveal all his secrets?

Trigger Warning: This is a standalone dark romance which means there are many themes that some might find disturbing. Please see author note

I was in a chokehold from chapter 1. the VA for this did a stunning job as each individual character, changing his voice just the right way to show who was talking. I finished it in two days and desperately need more. the writing was chef kiss.

amazing

I absolutely loved this book. No surprise here tho' since I love all Chani's books. She has her own style and even though I know she has a way of throwing in there a plot twist that will literally make your head spin I am always surprised by it. This is one of my fav series ever, and I cannot wait to hear the other audiobooks.

The narrator did an exceptional job. He sounds exactly how I imagine Rin would. Somehow his voice matched his personality perfectly.

I highly recommend this audiobook and the whole series.

Devils of Vitality is dark, so I suggest you read the TW first and don't take them lightly, but if you are into it, this series is a h3ll of a ride.

another 5 stars for a Chani book, no surprise here

This book was amazing and terrifying and brilliant! having read echo prior to this it was not shocked by how dark it was but echo did shock me a bit having previously only read 'a bright celestial sea' and 'Sea of endless light' I did not take the warnings as seriously as I should have. I did however realize that I love the dark romance genre (or at least this sample thereof) and have subsequently done a deep dive into this world! I really wish more of the devils of vitality more on audiobook because I enjoyed those More than reading. The narrator on this particular one was not my favorite but still did an amazing job and still preferable to reading it myself 😂 I highly recommend this book BUT DON'T SKIP THE AUTHOR'S NOTE!!

Full disclosure: I am such a nerd. When I saw a SCI-FI COLLEGE romance, I was so excited to listen to this!

This book may not be for everyone, but I have a thing for morally gray (and black) MMCs. Fair warning: Kel is DIABOLICAL. He truly is a master manipulator who WILL DO whatever it takes to get what he wants. Check the list.

That being said, isn’t it so fun to watch them fall? I am obsessed with it and this book played it out beautifully.

Bonus, there are other morally dubious characters in this book, and their banter was so much fun to read.

The narrator, Wesley Lynch, has such a unique voice. These characters are young and in college, and I got that vibe instantly from the narrator. No shade to the male narrator community, but sometimes they meld into a uniform “dark and growly” sound. Wesley has such a unique sound. He was very enjoyable to listen to. Plus, this was a 3rd person POV book and I think that the narration helped my brain process it better. I’m not normally a fan of 3rd person, but this book wasn’t bad.

This is an interconnected universe but the books can be read as standalones. I’m probably going to read the next book because I loved Sila (the twin brother to Rin) so much that I NEED to read his story.

TLDR: Spicy, MM, Sci-Fi college, enemies-to-lovers romance with a morally gray (eh, closer to black) MMC.

I loved reading this book and I was super excited to finally get the audio!
The story was brought to life by the narrator so we'll. with each character entering the story with different voices which matched them all perfectly.

Wow! This book is so exciting! I was completely blown away by parts of it. It's so well written. It was so hard to put it down and go to work. It's definitely binge worthy. Omg, Rin and Sila are the best! I can't even. And Kelevra, I didn't like at first but he really grew on me and I think I love him. He and Rin are so dang hot together. 🥵🔥
Actually, I've binged everything by this author. These Silent Stars is just as dark and twisty as the rest. I love it so much. It's my favorite so far. I can't wait for her next book. Chani Lynn Feener is brilliant!

I love this audiobook so much! Hearing this book is so different from reading it. I pronounced nearly all the names different in my head than the narrator does.
Wesley Lynch has a little bit of what sounds like an Irish accent to me. Or maybe Canadian? Those two are not the same, so that shows what I know. 😂 Whatever it is, it's sexy af.

These Silent Stars ❤️

When I started this, I didn’t realize it’s part of a series. While I think I may have gotten some more context by reading whatever came before, I also didn’t feel like I was missing anything.
I enjoyed the push and pull between Rin and Kel was fun given the level of warning, the dub-con wasn’t as bad as I was expecting… but maybe that says more about me. Haha
I liked it enough to be interested in the rest of the series, but probably not to read again.

I received this book in exchange for an honest review.

This book was better than I thought it would be. The spicy fun began at chapter 3. The author gives a warning about the triggers and I learned I was okay with them.

The plot twist was epic! I highly suggest reading this book
