About this listen

In Elfhame, bargains are currency, lies are weapons, and your heart is your greatest weakness.

Reeling from Bastian's revelations, Kat wakes from her dire illness wanting nothing more than to sever all ties with the man who betrayed her. But fate has a different plan—she's trapped in Elfhame, the fae realm where nothing is as it seems. And worse, she's trapped with him, reliant on his touch to stave off a poison that threatens her very life.

Thrust into the center of Dusk and Dawn Courts, they must balance the two in order to maintain a delicate peace. But in a world where alliances are forged and shattered in a heartbeat, danger looms. A mysterious group infiltrates the city, and spies whisper of an ancient artifact powerful enough to destroy an entire court.

As enemies close in from all sides and attacks on the city escalate, Kat and Bastian must unearth deadly secrets and their own complicated feelings to survive—or risk a war to destroy faekind itself.

Full of betrayal, bargains, and broken hearts, A Touch of Poison is the spellbinding second book in Shadows of the Tenebris Court, a searing romantic fantasy trilogy perfect for fans of The Bridge Kingdom and A Court of Thorns and Roses. Intended for mature listeners.

Ugh, that ending

Lots of twists and turns and loved it all. The female narrator was amazing. Had a hard time with the male. Weird inflections at the end of sentences. Not sure if it’s a cultural thing or not. Hard to follow. The spice was good. The possessiveness 😍. Can’t wait for book 3. Please don’t take long, pretty please 😁

waiting for book 3

The story kept me engrossed. The female narrator was excellent. I had gotten used to Bastiens' voice through her in book one, but the change to a male narrator for his parts was distracting and disappointing. The cadence of his speech was so different that it just killed the flow of the story telling for me. I also felt like being told from Kats perspective lent him an edge of danger and sex appeal that just wasn't there with the male narrator. That is the only reason for 4 stars instead of 5.

Ruined with the male narrator

I couldn’t even follow the book when it came to the male narrator chapter because he doesn’t follow punctuation and feels like he is saying the entire thing as one sentence. Not to mention his terrible inflection. He absolutely ruined this series

Male narrator why

This story is good, and the female narrator was great. But good gracious the male narrator! His voice itself is nice, but the cadence/inflection is terrible. I couldn’t get past it, the female narrator was great I wish she did both perspectives. It’s like every sentence he’s asking a question or something. The way it lifts up at the end of almost every sentence is really difficult to get past, and seems like it would be such an easy thing to fix. How any editor could get through that without commenting is beyond me. Just couldn’t get over it.

Love story and Intrigue

Loved the story telling, the series draws the reader in. Looking forward to devouring more of the series! The only thing keeping me from 5 stars is a little more plot, detail to scenery wanted, with less main character self doubt. I understand some of it was character development.

Love it

Love the book. Love the female narrator. I just can’t with the male narrator, he sounds like a guy on the history channel narrating with no sense of story in his voice. The first book was just her and I lovvvved it. Is there an option where it is just her narrating?

Better story progression, rough narration

I don’t like to bash on narrators, but I have to agree with the other review’s, the male narrator was not it for this book. The out of place inhales made all of Bastians chapters feel like one big run on sentence that I would just start tuning out. That’s the best I can explain it. The story line moved along at a decent pace. A little predictable. I do like the characters though and am sticking around for their banter and sass.

Absolutely love this book. Male voice actor not my fave

I can’t speak more highly about this series. It’s full of adventure, spice, and delights. Well built and delicious. However, the male voice over artist had an upward inflection at the end of every sentence and it not only made it hard to follow his sentiment at times, but also grated on me a bit.
