Publisher's summary

Talia

I have always been a bird. Caged by one prison or another when the only thing I ever wanted was to fly away. Sold. Beaten. Starved. Drugged. Nothing scares me anymore. Until him. He makes the numbness go away. He is hazardous to me. It has nothing to do with his mafia lifestyle, and everything to do with what he offers. A gilded prison. A retreat from everything that I once knew. The reality I have no desire to return to. He thinks he's caged me, but soon I'm going to fly.

Alexei

I live by a code. The Vory code. In this mafiya world, there are traditions. Expectations. She does not care for these things. She does not care about anything. She thinks she has me fooled with her haunted eyes. What she can't know is that I see her better than most. She wants to fly. But I'm going to clip her wings. And make her my wife.

Awesome!

The narrator did a wonderful job with the characters in this books! Alexei & Talia's characters are amazing in this story. The book is well written and kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time.

Angst delivered without horror or slow motion

Zavarelli delivers in her story of 2 characters trying to overcome their personal demons to find their way to each other. This 3rd installment of the Boston Underworld develops the story of 2 characters referenced in the first 2 books. It's not essential to read them in order, but it makes the story richer. Marks has done an excellent job with the narration for this series.

Love this series!!!

Out of all the books in this series, this was a tougher listen. Ghost is so closed off, and tormented. It's credit worthy but again, this is my least favorite of the books (not as sexy). Narration off the charts!!!

Beauty from Suffering

This was a very emotional read with several twists; one I really did not see coming. Talia and Alexei shared similar life experiences with rejection and parental losses. Their experiences made them closed off and relationships harder for them to navigate. What Talia goes through is described in detail at the beginning of the book and it is not for the faint of heart. It's heartbreaking.. They work through their issues for the most part and just when you think they've about made it, disaster happens and off we go again on another wild and sometimes painful ride. The ending is totally worth it all though so hang in there. Beautiful epilogue.

Ghost did not disappoint...

I read the book, but wanted the audio to listen to when I worked out. It did not disappoint. I loved it!! A Zavarelli knows how to write the story, and Tracy Marks knows how to put a voice to it. I'll be listening to Ghost again...

Anther fantastic story!!

This is an exciting, adventurous and thrilling, and sometime sad story. You never know what is coming next. I myself really enjoy (always have), the dark side of this story and the whole series. So once again I’m giving it 5 stars. Even though this could be read/listened as a stand alone.

Excellent series!!

This is a dark mafia story with surprise twists. The series is excellent. If you like that genre, you will love this series.

Dark, Raw and Riveting!



What a great story! This is my first A. Zavarelli and "Wow!" I did not know what I was missing. This was the third book in the series, but was well written and gave enough details, it could easily be listened as a stand alone. I did not feel lost.

Ghost is a dark story. Talia was sold as a sex slave, by her "boyfriend", and Alexei was sent in to find Talia. He rescues her, and keeps her safe by marrying her. During her captivity Talia suffered a lot, and had a tough road to recovery. Alexei slowly helps Talia recover, and they start to develop true feelings for each other. However, Alexei had another reason for marrying her, and did not want others to know. When his secrete is revealed, he suspects Talia is the person who betrayed him, and he treats her badly.

Tracy Marks narration was awesome. She did a great job on all the accents.

This story was good, and well worth a credit.
