Becoming Justice by Liv Macy
18+ Contains Adult Content
Becoming Justice is book one in the Infinites Universe by Liv Macy. This book follows Cassie, who is living on her own, surrounded by grief after the loss of her brother and her mother, her only family. The police say her brother Brian died of an overdose, but Cassie knows that isn’t Brian; he wouldn’t do that, and she is hell bent on finding out who killed her brother. Armed with a new hair colour and a lot of contour to change her appearance, the best she can, Cassie gets a job as a bartender at the club where Brian died. She wants answers, but what she didn’t expect was to find a secret society of magic and darkness. Cassie also did not expect to be so drawn to her boss, Dex. She is bound to him by a contract to protect her, but did he bother to protect her brother? Cassie has to decide if vengeance is worth outing Dex’s abilities in which she is also handing Dex a death sentence.

I was sent an ALC of this book. I had never read it, so this was not only a brand-new book but also a brand-new author to me, which is exciting. The pace of the book itself, I would say, is fairly fast, but the romance is slow burn. The audiobook is 7 hours and 50 minutes long, with duet narration, which is my favourite! This is narrated by Dahila Summers, Sean Chaussee, Andi Eloise, Sean Masters, Alex Raby and Bailey Turpin. I really enjoyed the narration and would listen to these narrators again.
I didn’t know what I was made of until I was broken, until I had to pick up the pieces of myself.
This book, I would say, is character-driven in its plot, as it follows Cassie and Dex while they try and find Brian’s killer, along with navigating their love for one another. I enjoyed both characters. Cassie did get a little annoying in that she kept repeating herself in how she felt responsible for the deaths of her mother and brother; however, when you are grieving, you kind of do repeat this to yourself, so I dunno it was kind of annoying but also kind of real. I liked Dex, he was broody, gruff and sexy. He was also kind of soft with Cassie, a bit of a cinnamon roll just for her. I was rooting for the two of them to be together from the beginning and was giddy when Cassie finally admitted to herself that she loved him.
I love you, I want you, and I want however many years we’ve got together
This book is set at a club, which Dex owns. The club is full of many magical things that humans cannot see and that could cause Cassie harm if she weren’t under Dex’s protection. This had me wondering why these entities don’t harm the customers of the club. The setting is nothing magical per se, but it is perfect for the story.
I was immersed in this book. I often find that I get not bored but restless when I listen to audiobooks. I am a big music listener, so when I am drawing or cleaning, I am usually listening to music (fun fact, I am listening to music now), so to be drawing and listening to an audiobook, I can find myself getting restless…I don’t know why. However, with this one, I didn’t get restless; in fact, time was flying by while I listened. The narrators really brought this to life in my mind. I may not be happy with my drawing (imposter syndrome sucks), but I was very happy with my listening, lol.
Overall, I enjoyed this audiobook. It is easy to read, flows well, and has a good amount of spice.
Was it the most amazing thing ever written? No.
Did I enjoy listening to it? Yes.
Would I recommend it? Yeah, it won’t change your life, and it’s not complex, but if you read for the good vibes and fun escape and love a bit of magic, romance, and revenge, then go for it! The audiobook brings it to life, so I would recommend listening to it.
