About this listen

National Treasure meets A Discovery of Witches…

Introducing the Secret Society mystery series and kick-ass red-headed heroine Sidney Taylor.

Thirty-year-old Black woman Sidney Taylor is a talented early American history professor, working in fast-paced Washington DC, with her eyes on promotion. She's also currently persona non grata. Who knew that making an inconvenient historical discovery would see her stuck at her desk, shuffling paper?

So when she receives an anonymous and very cryptic invitation to visit historic small-town Robbinsville, North Carolina and hunt for a missing archaeological treasure—with a million-dollar payout at stake—it's one she can't refuse. Besides, her beloved grandmother lives in Robbinsville, and it's been too long since she's paid her a visit.

Soon, Sidney's on an exciting treasure hunt, following two-hundred-year-old clues that lead her ever closer to the artifact she's searching for. But what is the artifact? And why is Sidney starting to feel like she's at the heart of a terrifying conspiracy she doesn't understand?

The answer blows Sidney's world apart, plunging her into a dark, glittering world of secret societies, ancient bloodlines, witches, and magic, linked to an ages-old conspiracy that could destroy the very principles upon which America was founded.

Already waiting for the next!

I was so happy to find this book! I tried it on a sale, and was happy that it was a nice, long book and after about 15 minutes, I was hooked! Finished in two days, I couldn't stop listening! Smart, adventurous, and a mix of fact, fantasy, sci-fi and current events blended in a way that's highly engaging. The only negative I see is there aren't more in the series yet!! I listen to a lot of books, and this is a series I'm eagerly awaiting the next adventure!

Different but exciting

If you want to zone out and just have something playing. This is not the book for you. There are a lot of details and it took a few times of rewinding before i realized okay, I actually need to pay attention. i enjoyed the mixture of subtle fantasy mixed with scifi, there is a lot going on, but I thought it was neat

This one is for the history nerds !!

I absolutely loved this book! An adult book that has almost everything I require …well…there’s no smut…but I digress…Historical facts combined with myths combined with fantasy (maybe) combined with strong black women changing the world ?! Yes please !! The narrator’s voice did not annoy me. The story kept me engrossed . I wanted to know more!! Please Esme! Please continue this series !!!

Fun genre mashup

I loved the mystery and magic. Binge listened because I had to know how it ended. Nice twist at the end I didn’t see coming. Can’t wait for the next book in the series.

Difficult task

Hard to bring witches, time travel, politics, faeries, & history all together in plausible story. Lacked the character development but hard to add under the circumstances.

Intriguing

This book was definitely held my attention. As a history buff, I enjoyed the historical facts sprinkled throughout the book. I wish I could give it 5 stars, but at times it seemed that the highly intelligent main character took far too long to figure things out. There were several times where I’d predicted the outcome of a certain scenario a full chapter before the main character figured it out. For me, it was contradictory to how Sidney was described throughout the book. Aside from that, I found it to be a good book.

I want to know what happened with several characters. Sequel?

I love the historical and mythical elements with the intermingled with the mix of ethnic melting pot of humanity

Loved this book

Great story - Part Adventure, part sci-fi, part paranormal, with a little hint of romance. I really hope there will be more books to come. So many questions yet to be resolved.
