Book description
Bal Khabra's Spiral delivers exactly what fans of the genre crave: a crackling fake-dating romance that feels fresh, not formulaic. As an audiobook, it's pure listening pleasure. The narrator masterfully captures Elias's tight-lipped hockey intensity and Sage's quiet, determined energy, making their electric chemistry undeniable from the first exchanged glance. You feel the weight of Elias's media pressure-the constant paparazzi, the pressure to be perfect-and Sage's frustration over her lack of online presence, which threatens her dream of joining the Aurora Ballet Theatre. Their fake-dating pact, born from necessity, quickly dissolves into something real, and the audio format amplifies every hesitant touch, shared laugh, and lingering glance. The contrast between Elias's physical, high-stakes hockey world and Sage's delicate, artistic ballet sphere is vividly rendered through the narration, making their connection feel earned, not forced. Khabra avoids melodrama, focusing instead on authentic character growth: Elias learning to breathe beyond the spotlight, Sage finding her voice beyond algorithms. The pacing is perfect-sizzling tension builds steadily, never rushing the emotional payoff. What elevates Spiral beyond standard romance is its respect for both professions. You genuinely understand why Elias's first goal matters, why Sage's lead role is a career-defining moment. The audiobook's strength lies in how seamlessly it weaves these worlds together through voice alone. You don't just hear the story; you feel the ice beneath Elias's skates, the stage lights on Sage's pointe shoes. It's a deeply satisfying listen that balances romance, ambition, and the quiet courage it takes to be yourself. For anyone who loves a story where the fake relationship becomes real, where the setting is almost a character itself, and where the audio experience elevates every moment-Spiral is essential listening. It's the kind of book that makes you hit "play" for the second time, just to hear their voices again.
