About this listen

In a world of suppressed magic, I’m an Unknown. Deadly power, little control. I’m only alive because I pay a blood sorcerer to keep me hidden. But when he comes to collect on the debt I can’t pay, one of his goons slams me with a deadly curse. Suddenly, I’m out of options and out of time.

When I’m given a rare chance to join the secretive Undercover Protectorate and train at their academy to become an investigator, I have a way to hunt the cure for the curse. They have resources I don’t. Easy, since I’m broke.

Seems like a good plan, right? At least, until they tell me Cade will be joining me on my hunt for the Blood Sorcerer. He's an actual Celtic war god - and the hottest guy I’ve ever seen. The catch? I can’t let him know that I’m an Unknown, or I’m out on my ass and deader than Hades.

For me this book was a bit of a slow burner to the point I was considering whether to persist as I kind of didn’t like it. However I suggest you persist as I did, once I got into the book I found I really started to enjoy it. I guess I was not keen because it really doesn’t offer any background to the characters instead jumping right into the scene not giving me time to relate. For this reason I think it’s probably better to read the prequel book of this series (not one I have read yet but did see mentioned in a review I read)

As far as the narrator goes, she was great, really adding to the story. Other than the slow burn and lack of background, I really just wish these audiobooks were at least twice as long. $15 for just 6 hours of listening is a bit pricey and putting me off buying the next instalment despite really enjoying the first book. I think I will wait till I can buy it discounted combined with the kindle version.

Slow start but..

It's fun action packed and lots of magical thrills. Laurel Schroeder is amazing as the narrative she has a unique voice that totally hers.

I liked the story but unfortunately I didn't enjoy listing to the book. The narrator's pauses and end to sentences were distractingly breathy and often her emphasis on words and tone seemed all wrong to me. This is the first time I haven't seen a book series to the end.
