The rebellion rising in Rhethos just got more complicated. When Will unexpectedly takes control of a towne still loyal to The Bradford, he is forced to choose between slaughtering those who oppose him and somehow turning Lorington’s rulers to his cause. The vicious Rhethosian Captain and his army are marching north, the rebel’s supplies have been destroyed, and a new complication creates a rift between Will and his estranged daughter. When an ancient form of magic calls to her from beneath Lorington’s streets, Devaki has the very core of her faith questioned.

Loved book one and got even more attached to the characters in book two! Every element of a masterful magical story is included and nothing was predictable. So many twists and turns and now I’m dying for the final part of the trilogy! And the narrator is the best I’ve ever heard. So well done!

My All Time Favorite Audiobook..and I’m not a fantasy girl!
Reviewed: 01-13-24
If I could give more than 5 stars I would! I have tried to get into fantasy books in the past but have always gotten lost or bored, even when listening. I decided to read/listen to Rebel in Violet because I know of the author. I was hooked from the first chapter on! This isn't just a fantasy book, there is so much more depth and meaning woven in. The story is captivating from start to finish with twists and turns and growth in character that make it hard to stop listening! And, of course with this being book one of a trilogy, going into it I figured I'd be left feeling angry having to wait for books 2 and 3. The author did a beautiful job leaving the reader hanging yet providing enough answers or hints that the end of the book was still satisfying. I'm still dying to get my hands on books 2 and 3! I shouldn't be surprised that Rebel in Violet was SO amazing because in the writing world, Hannah is a sought after editor with a stellar reputation. Also the narrator is the best I’ve ever come across. I’ll be listening to this again as I anticipate for book 2s March 19 2024 release!

A Must Read For All Americans
Reviewed: 01-07-24
I’m a Gold Star daughter who suffers from CPTSD as a result and I hate listening to anything war or death related. I love the author’s podcast and bought this book as soon as I heard about it. It’s a candid raw look of becoming a soldier, being in an ugly war, losing his brother, the funeral and life after. The author touches on things that I believe are important for every American or anyone who has been impacted by war to hear. It’s raw and real but doesn’t weigh you down. I learned a lot and am grateful for his service and for being so open and candid. I love that he narrated it himself…it added a very personal and real element to it. Well done!

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 315
Head-in-the-stars Audrey is about to marry down-to-earth Josh. Though they are polar opposites, they have a healthy relationship; Josh is just what Audrey needs. But romance should be unpredictable and full of fireworks, and as the big day approaches, Audrey’s found herself wondering if Josh really is "The One." When Josh’s sister shows up to the rehearsal dinner with Fred, Audrey’s "What If? guy"—the man she met six years ago and had one amazing day with—Audrey finds herself torn. Surely Fred’s appearance the night before she is due to get married can’t be a coincidence.

At first I wasn’t sure if I’d like this book but once I hit the first third I was hooked! It made me reflect on what true love really is and how you don’t have to be perfect to be loved. I’ve already recommended it to several single friends. I didn’t say “I Do” until I was 46 and he was worth the wait so this book really spoke to me.

This was easy to listen to and so well written and performed! Kelle’s raw description of her longing to become a mother and her feelings along the way tug at the heartstrings. It is easy to get into and is a beautiful story that showcases pain and love mixed with humor. This is one of the best books I’ve listened to!

I’ve loved this book since the first time I read it. The narration was good…no complaints and years after last reading the book, listening to it was just as enjoyable. I’m sure I’ll listen to it again!

I’m generally more of a historical fiction or memoir kind of a reader but loved this! I actually went back and listened to the first few and last few chapters after I finished. The narrators are perfect for this story!
