About this listen

When Amethyst Faye was six years old, she was almost stolen by a monster in the woods on the same night her mother mysteriously disappeared. Ten years, a half-dozen psychiatrists, and a slew of diagnoses haven’t made things any better; she is still plagued by nightmares, ridiculed at school, and misunderstood by everyone from her teachers to her counselor to her father. And lately she’s been sprouting thick green thorns out of her skin.

Summer at Gran’s in Morgan Springs wins out, just barely, and only because a backwater town sounds marginally more interesting than a mental institution. Amethyst draws the attention of Ben, the boy of her dreams, and Absynth, the creature from her nightmares. Although neither of them is what she expected, Amethyst realizes both Ben and Absynth are exactly what she needs to heal her heart and harness the fairy magic she’s inherited.

Unfortunately for Amethyst, trying to walk both paths could get her killed, but having to choose between them is far worse.

Being an avid book reader yet an Audible novice, it took me a little while to get use to the lack of tactile and olfactory sensations of a physical book and I tended to fall asleep missing some of the paragraphs
What I did hear I enjoyed
Shylah Addante’s writing was whimsical, entertaining with a little bit of sadness thrown in

I have to get to the end of a book but this one was beyond painful. I hoped it would get better but it never did unfortunately...

Painful

I don't usually give negative reviews but this was badly written, well read though. Too many loose ends, silly responses to bad situations and just weak characters. the only saving grace is the narration

Don't bother
