About this listen

Raised to be my father’s weapon against the Coven that took away his sister and his birthright, I would do anything to protect my younger brother from suffering the same fate. My duty forces me to the secret town of Crystal Hollow and the prestigious Hollow’s Grove University—where the best and brightest of my kind learn to practice their magic free from human judgment.

There are no whispered words here. No condemnation for the blood that flows through my veins. The only animosity I face comes from the beautiful and infuriating Headmaster, Alaric Grayson Thorne, a man who despises me just as much as I loathe him and everything he stands for.

But that doesn’t mean secrets don’t threaten to tear the school in two. No one talks about the bloody massacre that forced it to close decades prior, only the opportunity it can afford to those fortunate enough to attend.

Because for the first time in fifty years, the Coven will open its wards to the Thirteen: thirteen promising students destined to change the world.

If the ghosts of Hollow’s Groves’ victims don’t kill them first...

The Coven is book one in the Coven of Bones series and ends on a cliffhanger. This is a gothic, dark-academia, paranormal romance and includes elements that may be triggering to some listeners.

The readers missed so many parts of the book, at first it was just a sentence then a paragraph then a whole chapter!!! I would not recommend listening to the audiobook, the voices are well done when they actually read the whole thing.

The missing parts of the story.

Minimal plot as the focus was mainly on the 2 MC’s. However the dynamic between them was odd as it wasn’t fleshed out enough. There are MANY trigger warnings for this books so check them out before you read.

If you’re in this for the academia aspect there is maybe 5% school content.

Even with all my complaining I will probably listen to the next book as the ending was interesting.

Some issues with the audio where it clearly had a few brief voice overs from a different narrator. Although the narrator for Gray was fantastic.

It was ok

I enjoyed it - it was fast paced, but honestly I quite like that as I'm not the most patient person. I may be jaded but given the warnings at the start I was expecting darker...but I really didn't find it dark at all and love the 'villian'. the spice was good...though I would always have more - book 2 is already in my liver ready to go and I'm going to check out more by the author as I like the writing style.

engaging

Do not buy this book on audible! I read and listen at the same time and the narrator as skipped many pages and paragraphs. Not worth buying the autiobook. I’m enjoying the story line so far but very disappointed

Narrator skips paragraphs even multiple pages!

Awful from beginning to end - story so poor
