4 stars!



Fifty Shades of Grey is a series I will always hold near and dear to my heart. I’ve been an avid reader most of my life, but Fifty was the book that jump started my reading. It got me to start reading more romance, and with that, I joined groups on goodreads and found so many indie books I may have never discovered and made many friends I’m sure I would have never crossed paths with otherwise. I’ll keep this review fairly short, most people have read Fifty Shades so there is no need to rehash that story. It’s a book you either love or hate- there doesn’t seem to be much in-between. I happen to love it.

Grey is a retelling of the first Fifty book from Christian’s perspective. If you’re looking for an epic new story or all kinds of new material, you’ll be disappointed. Besides some extra looks into Christian’s past, there isn’t much new. I knew this going in and I was okay with it. I still enjoyed this one. I think the fact that I listened to it over a week or two opposed to reading it helped tremendously. The narration was FANTASTIC. Zachary Webber voiced Christian perfectly. If she brings the rest of the books out from Christian’s pov I will most definitely be listening to them on audio!

I would recommend this book to:
~Fans of the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy
~People who don’t mind retelling of the same story from a different perspective.

If you are neither of the above, this probably won’t be the book for you. But if you ARE both of the above I recommend you give this a go and highly recommend picking up the audio!
