About this listen

Once, we’d worshipped them as Gods.

For nearly four-hundred years, the Veil has protected us from the Fae of Alfheimr. In their absence, our lives have shifted from decadence and sin to survival and virtue under the guidance of the New Gods. I’ve spent my entire life tending to the gardens next to the boundary between our worlds, drawn to the shimmering magic like a moth to the flame.

Then, we died on their swords.

All of that changes the day the Veil shatters, unleashing the fae upon our world once again. The magic of faerie marks those of us they mean to take, but the Mist Guard protecting Nothrek will kill us all before they let the fae have us. There’s no choice but to flee everything I’ve ever known, not if I want to live to see my twenty-first birthday as a free woman.

Now, they’ll claim what’s theirs.

But before they capture me, Caelum saves me from the Wild Hunt. Fae-marked and on the run, he is able to fight back in ways I only dream of. From tentative alliance to all-consuming passion, our bond strengthens as the fae close in and evil lurks ever nearer. With my life on the line, he is everything I shouldn’t dare to want and a distraction I can’t afford. I can’t seem to stay away, not even with something greater on the line.

My heart.

I was hoping this series would be a my new obsession, however it didn’t happen that way. I can see where the author was going with this, but it wasn’t my cup of tea. The narrator did a lovely job and would definitely listen to narrations by them again.

It’s not too bad

Fantastic

Started out promising .. a fairly unique storyline that captured my interest. I like my books with a bit of steam but once it started, the steam overtook any story or plot and I started losing interest. I even found myself skipping ahead in spots, hoping to recapture the magic of the plot. The story did pick up again towards the end but I am undecided if I will continue the series. Narration was fabulous!

Sounded promising

He says "little one" and it's the grosses nickname i've ever heard. the story was good but it needed fleshing out. aside from the gross pet name and the very predictable twist it was an ok read.

"little one"

Story had a lot of potential but I feel like it really fell flat. The start and the end were the only parts that had any meaning and the middle was just pointless.

Been there done that!

Good easy story. The narrator was good until she spoke the male leads lines. Found it so hard to listen to I had to stop listening.

Predictable but enjoyable

Good story with great twists and turns. Wasn't fond of some of the dirty talk. Very basic and almost cringe at points. Will still give book two a go.

Enjoyed it.

I really enjoyed this book. The MC is not pathetic virgin just waiting around for a man to save her. She is conflicted and questioning. Recommend this book.

For once a strong woman lead.

It was ok, though it did get annoying how obvious things were but the heroine remained clueless

Narrator was pretty monotone
