Story
Carolyn's not so different from the other human beings around her. After all, she was a normal American herself once. That was a long time ago, of course - before the time she calls "adoption day", when she and a dozen other children found themselves being raised by a man they learned to call Father.

Such good dark fantasy
Reviewed: 07-02-24
It’s been a long while since I read this book and listening to it again just reminded me how much I love the writing style and story telling I wish Holly Black would write some adult (spicy) fantasy but for a YA book this series is sooo enjoyable and worth a read/ listen.

New narrator did a good job but I much preferred the first book narration. Overall story was good and was a quick listen I’m glad they tied up all the loose ends.

Story
Callypso Lillis is a siren with a very big problem, one that stretches up her arm and far into her past. For the last seven years she’s been collecting a bracelet of black beads up her wrist, magical IOUs for favors she’s received. Only death or repayment will fulfill the obligations. Only then will the beads disappear. Everyone knows that if you need a favor, you go to the Bargainer. He’s a man who can get you anything you want … at a price. And everyone knows that sooner or later he always collects. But for one client, he’s never asked for repayment. Not until now.

Really gets spicy and lives up to the hype and the characters are fun and develop naturally making you fall in love with the siren which I suspect was the point all along. Already downloading book two 🖤

When a trip into the forest to collect a rare mushroom goes horribly wrong, I find myself falling through a fairy portal and straight into the arms of the Unseelie Fae prince. The dangerously unhinged and handsome Unseelie Fae prince. What could be more horrible than that? He thinks I'm an assassin sent by the humans to kill him, not a biologist. Determined to kill me first and rid himself of the human he has unwillingly grown obsessed with, yet also needing to entertain his people, the villain challenges me to three deadly trials.
