Audible definitely has it. That's where I got my copy. The narrator is okay, but I sped up the playback to 1.2x for the pacing to feel right. Worth a listen if you're commuting.
Has anyone else noticed the audio version seems slightly abridged? Not in a major plot way, but some of the descriptive passages near the start of Chapter 7 feel shorter than my paperback. Anyway, to actually find it, I got mine through Libby after a two-week wait. It's also on Kobo Audiobooks. I'm not a fan of the narrator's choice for Viktor's voice; it's gruffer than I imagined. But the rest is fine. The production quality is good, no background noise or weird edits.
Major platforms like Audible and Apple Books are your safest bet for 'Cruel Game.' I've seen it there. However, I'd recommend checking Chirp for a deal first—sometimes they have discounts on titles from that publisher. My local library's Hoopla also carries it, but availability depends on your specific branch's subscription. The narrator does a solid job with the protagonist's sarcastic tone, which is a big part of the book's appeal for me.
I hunted for the 'Cruel Game' audiobook for ages after finishing the paperback, and my journey was all over the place. Scribd had the ebook but not the audio, and Libby through my library had a waitlist months long.
Finally, I spotted it on Google Play Audiobooks, and it was priced okay. I almost missed it because the cover art was slightly different from my print copy. Audible has it too, but I'm not a subscriber, so buying it outright was easier for me.
What I found weird was that the narrator's name wasn't prominently listed on some store pages, which is a detail I always check. It's a decent production, though.

Dante, through his interactions with Vivian, begins to let his guard down and develops genuine feelings for her.
But what happens when there is another scheme that threatens Dante's position and holds more risk and promise of death for his family. Someone is determined to destroy the Russo family, and Vivian stands in his way.

Heartbreak is supposed to kill a wolf’s spirit, but Aria Vale refuses to die quietly.
Humiliated before her entire pack when her fated mate publicly rejects her, Aria returns home, shattered and furious, only to find a black envelope waiting on her bed. Inside lies an invitation to a deadly challenge known only as The Game:
“Survive, and win what your heart desires most.”
With nothing left to lose, Aria enters a realm beyond her world, an ancient castle suspended between life and death, where each dawn brings a new trial of survival. Competitors vanish one by one, hunted by the magic that governs the Game.
But not everyone is what they seem. One contestant, a charming, infuriatingly optimistic wolf named Kael, seems more interested in keeping her alive than winning himself. His warmth disarms her, his smiles irritate her, and his secrets could destroy them both.
Now Aria must survive the trials, outsmart the goddess who created them, and decide what freedom truly means: breaking her bond to the mate who betrayed her, or risking everything for the wolf who was never supposed to love her.
The shewolves in Shadow Pack all said I was lucky. Alpha Erwin Keller had doted on me alone for eight years.
However, the same werewolf who swore he would only ever want to be with me gave me two 'gifts' the day I brought him home to meet my mom, Katie Spencer, to discuss our marking ceremony.
The first gift was tying Katie to a chair and having his Beta rip her clothes apart right in front of me.
The second gift was deliberately opening the door and letting my dad, Felix Spencer, who had already lost his wolf spirit, run outside.
There was pouring rain outside. Felix ran to the edge of a cliff and fell over.
Katie was still tied to the chair. She watched Felix die right in front of her.
She snapped the ropes like a mad wolf and jumped off the cliff to die with Felix.
In a single night, I lost both my parents.
I kneeled in a pool of blood and asked Erwin why he did all this.
He pinched my chin and sneered. "Lara, did you really think I loved you? I came for revenge!"
It turned out that during the territorial war ten years ago, his dad died saving mine, and his mom took her own life afterward.
Erwin spent eight years carefully weaving a lie of love. It was all so I could experience what it felt like to lose my entire family.
Later, Erwin kept me trapped by his side and tortured me. I tried to kill myself 99 times. He saved me all 99 times.
He said we would torture each other until we grew old.
What he didn't know was that ten years ago, when his wolf spirit was completely destroyed and he was barely alive, I was the one who begged an Alpha from another pack to place a curse on me so that he could live.
In return, I only had eight years left to live.
Now, I was seven days away from my own impending doom!

Blood. Lust. Bodies... Sex. Pain. Love.
They were never meant to exist separately.
All Aiden wanted was to get his niece back alive.
Instead, he walked straight into the grip of a man who ruled him– body, mind, and every fragile nerve in between.
Power became obsession. Obsession became desire.
And desire became something far more dangerous.
When Aiden is given the chance to go back and change everything, he discovers the cruelest truth of all:
the man who ruined him, the man he craves… may be the very man he once swore to destroy.

If you crave dark romance, forbidden attraction, and a dangerous Dom/Sub dynamic woven into a twisted love story, ‘THE DEVIL’S GAME’ was written for you.
Finding the best audiobook for 'It's a Cruel Game' depends so much on what you value in a performance. I sampled a few before settling, and the one narrated by Carla Tassara on Audible is my definitive pick. Her voice has this sharp, brittle quality that fits the protagonist's cynical worldview perfectly, but she can switch to a terrifyingly smooth tone for the antagonist's manipulations. The pacing is tight, no dragging moments.
What clinched it for me was how she handles the dialogue. The book is full of tense, verbal sparring matches, and Tassara gives each character a distinct rhythm and weight. You can practically hear the sneer or the suppressed panic. I tried the other version available on Google Play Books, and the narrator there sounded too generically 'thriller' for my taste—all atmosphere, no character nuance. For a story this psychologically driven, Tassara's performance is the one that actually elevates the text.
