About this listen

A cryptic note leads the Blackmoore sisters to a haunted island in the Atlantic Ocean. Many have looked for the treasures reported to be buried there by pirates decades ago, but precious few treasures have been found. And certainly not the powerful energy-infused jewel the Blackmoores are looking for.

Abandoned for decades following several mysterious fatal accidents, the sisters have the island to themselves...or so they think.

Aided by a lonesome pirate ghost, they navigate a maze of tunnels dug into the rocks where they encounter ancient booby-traps, malevolent spirits, and natural disasters.

But as they start to zero in on the location of the relic, it becomes clear that they are not alone and whoever else is on the island has no intention of leaving without the relic - even if it means killing the entire Blackmoore clan.

all getting a little repetitive, but still enjoyed the story. Needs new abilities more romance and story line is predictable.

Usually I love Hollis reading these but with this book it seemed like she had forgotten what voices she used for which character. It was probably more noticeable to me because I have just listened to all books 1 after the other.

Hmmm

Four. Powerful women with supernatural capabilities, three regular men with no powers. The men are constantly placing the women in situations where they do the dishes, they cannot drive if there is a man in the car, and on the basis of the fact that they are men, the men believe that they are more competent And it is they who will always come to the rescue. The main male character Luke, continually patronises Morgan and she just seems to put up with it and do whatever he says. This is true, even when the situation is blatantly obvious that someone with supernatural ability is better placed to accomplish the task. Yes, usually it is the women who end up saving the men, but it does not detract from the fact that the male characters are very dismissive of the female characters. It goes beyond males protecting someone weaker, because the women are not weaker. If you are interested in a fun read, this will do. If however you get very aggravated by patronising men and an author who buys into the patriarchy, this is not a series you will enjoy.

Misogynistic and denigrating towards women.
