About this listen

Once upon a time, a girl found a magical puppy, and her life was never the same again.

Nina Popoca needs help.

So, so much of it.

The only place she can find that help is on a sprawling ranch in Colorado. A place hiding more than a community filled with magical creatures trying to live their lives in safety and in peace. A village that might hold the answers to questions she’s had her entire life.

And if that ranch is owned by her best friend’s hunky cousin?

There are worse things in the world than having to live right by Henri Blackrock.

Mariana Zapata is a one click author for me. I love her writing and style. This book was not her usual work at all. While I enjoyed this it doesn’t stand in the same realm as her other books. The banter and back and forth between the main characters was not there. The story was not finished in places like a thought started to form and then it was gone. It was still an enjoyable experience as I love PNR books this just felt flat. The narrators did an amazing job and I feel they were the ones that kept me engaged in the story.

Not a normal MZ book

I am a huge fan of Mariana's books and this story had me from page one. I loved the concept of magical beings living amongst us mere mortals. Loved the humour throughout the book, loved Henri's "scrowns" and his absolute dedication to those he loves.
Loved Nina's lack of filter and her willingness to admit the things she is feeling, even through the doubts. And I loved meeting all the weird and wonderful magical creatures that may just live among us.
Many thanks to Victoria Villareal and Bradley Ford for their superb narration. They had me listening well into the night with their excellent voices.

LOVE....YES!
