About this listen
Alexandra is having a hard enough time being human, dealing with the unexpected death of her father, and a family that's slowly unraveling in the wake of that death.
So she really, really didn't need a werewolf attempting to kill her on top of everything else.
But life just sucks sometimes, apparently. Because that's what happens: a vicious werewolf attack leaves Alex infected, confused, and suddenly surrounded by strangers who all claim they want to help her. Now, all she has to do is decide who to trust. Which would be a lot easier if one of those people trying to earn her trust wasn't Kael, a boy who manages to be arrogant, infuriating, and entirely-too-hot-for-his-own-good all at once - and who also might know more about herself than she does. Although, it turns out, that isn't saying much.
Because her whole life has been a lie.
But now the dangerous truth is surfacing, and Alex suddenly finds herself a would-be pawn in the center of an ancient war between wolves and monsters. A war that will force her to make an impossible choice, thanks to the magic tied to her bloodline. Magic that could protect the entire human world...or leave it to the mercy of the monsters.

Story
Ariane lived her life one book at a time. She would never have guessed those books were about to change everything. They led her to Orion. Tall, dark, with eyes only for her. The rest of the world ceased to exist when Orion was around. But during a fateful ash moon, he shifted into a wolf. Ari thought she was dreaming, but she'd recognize those eyes anywhere. Fiction became reality. Fantasy was actually history. And soon, Ari would learn her role in it. A pack war was on the horizon, and she was the only one who could stop it.

Story
After a car accident left my only parent - my father - in the hospital, I was swept away to the Dragon Born Academy by my estranged grandmother. If I had to be there, I'd be an observer of this place with its rituals and superstitions. After all, everyone's made it clear I don't belong. But then it happened, and Ashe Carrick - my impossibly irresistible bond-mate - happened. Being cracked open changed everything. Who I thought I was, what I thought I was.

This academy's gone to the gods. I'm Penelope DeLuna, and I'm a demigod. I didn't think half bloods were real, until a sexy-as-sin guy showed up with a three-headed dog and kidnapped me to a world of magic. After my powers emerged, I discovered I'm the daughter of a goddess. To join my family, I'll have to prove my worth at an academy for preppy mythological heroes and fight my way up Mount Olympus. If I'm lucky, no one will find out I had a naughty hook-up with the totally off-limits son of Hades...

Despite being raised by shifters, my life was fairly ordinary...until I tried to break up a fight and got zapped with magic. Then, all hell broke loose. The binding spell placed on me as an infant broke and I found out in a painful and rather unpleasant manner that I'm actually a witch. Now, the very people my birth mother tried to hide me from want to use my concealment as an excuse to push an anti-shifter agenda. The only way to keep my adoptive family - and myself - safe is to enroll in the elite Ravencrest Academy and prove I can control my newfound abilities.

Mehh ok...
8 hours and the story never really progressed. Lacked character development. It's a good storyline just not executed very well. The narrator was pretty good though. Unsure if I'd listen to the second book or not.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
