About this listen
Six-hundred years after The Outbreak, the human population stand side by side with the Fae & the Vampyrs to stop the Demon King from starting a second Dark War.
Seventeen-year-old Adelaide Tate is in her last year of the Academy, with her eyes set on becoming part of the Red Guard. Who cares that no female has ever joined?
When a dark force develops an unhealthy liking for her, Adelaide needs to fight for her life and figure out what makes her so different from the others.
Betrayal. Fear. Anger.
She must overcome it all in order to turn her world the right way around again.
Adelaide has one choice. Accept the help offered to her by Xander Bane, or face the Demon Hoard alone.
One thing is for sure. The Descent will be bloody.
Contains mature themes.

What do you do when you know your world is about to shatter around you? Do you run toward the change or try to hold on to the broken pieces so that everything doesn’t fall apart? I knew it was coming. We’d had time to ready ourselves, but nothing could have prepared us for the fall out. No one warned me our enemies would make me the pawn in their game. No one saw just how broken I would become.

Story
Being alpha-born means walking a path that's already been laid out for me, with a mate I don't get to choose. On a Lycan's 21st birthday, we are fated to find our true mate. Only, I don't want one. I'm not ready yet. I want to travel and see the world, but I can't do that, either. When our world comes under attack from a foe we thought long vanquished, everything I thought I knew gets flipped upside down. With nowhere to turn after my mate rejects me, feeling suffocated by my own skin, I leave my pack to try and find myself...but get found instead.

Story
There’s only one rule in the world I come from. Keep our existence a secret. Period. The day my sister broke that rule one too many times, I knew there would be consequences. I expected us to be sent to one of those schools for “troubled” kids - and maybe Daizlei Academy was, in a way. But really, it was far more complicated than that. You see, I thought that world had forgotten me. Forgotten us. For years we were left alone, and one day...we weren’t. It was only when I got there that I remembered the second rule: Trust no one.

My whole world changed when I stepped inside the academy. Nothing is right about this place or the other students in it. Here I am, a mere mortal among gods...or monsters. I still can't decide which of these warring factions I belong to, if I belong at all. I only know the one thing that unites them is their hatred of me. Then there's Jaxon Vega. A vampire with deadly secrets who hasn't felt anything for a hundred years. But there's something about him that calls to me, something broken in him that somehow fits with what's broken in me. Which could spell death for us all.

Yesterday I was a teenager waiting tables in Manhattan, and today, monsters exist and I can see them. Overnight I’m thrown into the realm of the Watchers, a society of earthbound angels split into two factions: the Shades, whose powerful dark magic is given to them by the fallen angels, and the Lumens, whose abilities are bestowed on them by the archangels of Avalon. They’re on opposite sides of a brutal war, and I only have a few days to pick which side I want to join. I’m ready to choose when the Shades force my hand by cursing someone I love.

Six years ago, I awoke in a cage with no knowledge of who I was or where I’d come from. Six years ago, I was spared the flesh markets and instead thrown in with a group of savages, where I learned it was fight or die. Now, eight Orders of Assassins are converging on the only home I’ve ever known. All in hopes of purchasing new blade slaves for their ranks. I’m for sale, yet all I want is a life far from death and ownership. Then I meet them, the Order of Scorpions. Their allure is a threat to the freedom I crave, but I won’t fall victim to their sting, no matter how tempting it might be.

As a wolf shifter growing up in a strong pack, I should be living my best life. But after my father tried to kill our leader, I’m labelled an outcast, traitor, less than dirt. When I can't take pack life any longer, I run, but apparently they don't like losing their punching bag. Torin, the leader’s son, drags me back before my first shift...a shift that will reveal my true mate. I never could have predicted who mine would be, but the moment my wolf looks upon him, I’m filled with hope for a brighter future.

I live in the shadows for a reason, split between the worlds of the magical and the mundane. I'm a punching bag for both societies, but with the magic of Hades, it's the only way to stay alive. To stay free. If the powers that be knew what I was, they'd slap me in a cage and make me their weapon.

My brother vanished from Seraphim Academy without a trace, and I’ll do whatever it takes to find him, including infiltrating the school myself. Even if it means going up against my brother’s best friends. They may be angel royalty, but if they think they can intimidate me into leaving, they’re wrong.

My life as I know it is over. And no, I'm not being dramatic. I've been living as a human, but now I have to return to my mermaid roots because my dad is the new king of Valora. As soon as we arrive, he sends me to the Dark Sea Academy. Whispers and glares greet me at every turn. Students accuse my dad of killing the previous king, his brother. My first night, the most popular girl tries to kill me. I barely escape, only to run into Bash. He's older and one wrong move from being expelled. Also as gorgeous as he is arrogant.

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.

Story
My life as I know it is over. And no, I'm not being dramatic. I've been living as a human, but now I have to return to my mermaid roots because my dad is the new king of Valora. As soon as we arrive, he sends me to the Dark Sea Academy. Whispers and glares greet me at every turn. Students accuse my dad of killing the previous king, his brother. My first night, the most popular girl tries to kill me. I barely escape, only to run into Bash. He's older and one wrong move from being expelled. Also as gorgeous as he is arrogant.

Story
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.

They call me an abomination. A mutant. A curse on their kind. I don't let it bother me. Much. My name is Holly James, and what they say is true. I'm a freak of nature - a null. My mere presence saps the magic from others, rendering them powerless. That's why they hate me. But here's the kicker: I've found a way to profit from my lack of mojo. Whether it's acting as a mystical wet blanket in a dispute between pyromancers or keeping hormonal shifters from changing during a sweet 16 party, I provide a highly specialized service.

Mercenary Casia Greythorne cares about two things: completing whatever her latest job is and earning enough coin to buy the expensive medicine that's keeping her mentor alive. So when the king himself offers her a job, she can't resist the massive reward he offers - even if it means working with Captain Elander, the arrogant, mysterious right-hand to that king. Her partner may be infuriating, but at least their mission seems simple and quick enough: investigate the origins of the strange plague that's been ravaging their empire, help find a cure, and then call it a day.

so much potential
so the story base is amazing and captivating. Enough to keep me getting the sequels. But the story is so fast paced and missing detail. It skips around and fast forward quite a bit and then your left with "what was the point of this whole chapter". Anyway the narrator is great, but there is some volume issues... the narration is too low and the quotes are very loud. So I'm constantly having to adjust volume. Other than that, she does sooo good with the different voices and expressed emotion. I love that it doesn't sound like shes ready, but that she is acting.

Entertaining, Smooth, Twisted
Everything a vampire Romance book can be. Its all here. Romance, Internal Struggle and Growth, Romance, Revenge, Pain, Blood and Death.
if you desire a book that keeps delivering right from the first word to the very last, well then, step right. up. That is unless you are feeling timid.

Not really sure
OK, I usually enjoy the whole supernatural, paranormal, etc., stories. This is the first time I thought/felt icky about the 18 y.o. girl & the 800 y.o. vampire. I can't even explain it- it just feels off.
Other than that weirdness, the usual plot line, etc., enjoyable enough for a fast read.

Illogical
I have about 1 hour left in the book and I just had to stop it. Though the book is well organized and descriptive, the main character is just too naive.. too the point to where it’s stupid to be honest.
So someone slices the throat of someone you love right in front of your face with your blades and 1 month later you’re like, “but man he’s so good looking. I want to rub myself all over his wings. It’s a shame he’s an ass sometimes..” what ?!? It actually says, “what a shame” are you kidding me? The #1 reason this stands out to me is because the main character is betrayed significantly over theses deaths. But she’s not willing to forgive that person, but is more forgiving/forgetting with the killer. Just illogical and extremely innocent type of writing on a more mature topic. Doesn’t mesh well. And in the end, all of the killing and kidnapping seems for no reason.
Narration was done poorly. There were times it was so quiet then really loud all of the sudden.

Childish at best
I couldn’t handle the ridiculousness of the main character. The endless whining and bloated ego will make you roll your eyes so many times you’ll have a headache until it blessedly ends. Don’t waste your credit.

What
So, I don't usually read paranormal romance - this was a different thing for me. But it just didn't work - and here's why.
Addie was fickle and irritating, attempting to be a sassy bad-ass but only succeeding in having a narrative voice that seriously grated on me. At one moment she would despair of girls obsessing over men, and the next moment she herself would be obsessing over men. She never felt like a truly strong female character.
There were too many characters - every single one had their own name, and it became massively confusing to keep track of who each individual person was. And many of the supporting cast didn't seem necessary to the plot in the slightest. Xander had very little involvement in the novel at all, and I didn't find the relationship or chemistry believable. I actually preferred Tyler.
This was really a kitchen-sink novel. It read like a stream of consciousness, missing out large gaps of time and then adding in some vague details in a casual manner to explain what was happening in the present. It could have really used some thorough planning, rather than feeling like it was entirely made up as it went along. None of the characters had real motives, and there were particular moments when they just were not acting in character at all (particularly in the many betrayals).
The worldbuilding once again had potential but ended up feeling lazy. The 'Old World' was constantly referred back to for cultural items, fashion, music and films, rather than this world having its own culture and lifestyle. I wanted to know more of the backstory, more of the state of the world at large, and I wanted to know more about the limitations and powers of the species from the outset, rather than having random powers dropped in at opportune moments (and then not actually being of any use after all).
Really, it just felt like nothing of any consequence happened at all. There was no development, much of it dragged and then there would suddenly be a major plot twist that didn't seem believable in the slightest. This is a shame; there was a lot of potential in the premise, and up until the 25% mark I had high hopes - after that point, it descended into confusion, lack of reason and plain pointlessness. This was in need of a thorough planning and a good editor, and I hope the author can come back and deliver something that lives up to the potential I know she has.

DONT!! WORST! Boring as F***, meant for preteens.
UPDATE: I finished the series and it just gets worse and Worse! In the last book i literally just fast forwarded to the last chapters and saved myself hours of monotony. The Worst Series EVER!!!!! I have over 450 audiobooks and I cant think of another series that's worse. Unless you're a 13 yr old girl, this book is Boring and mundane. Filled with useless immature teenage drama that leads no where, heavy internal dialogue which is repetitious and illogical, no emotional connection to characters, ect. don't know what happened with Sloane Murphys writing since I loved her other series. this character is unlikable, unrelatable, and mostly unbareable. I Regret getting the entire series already. even on sale less than $5, I wasted money. My OCD requires me to finish the series, especially since I already paid for it, and I dont want to bother with the refunding process. but I'm already cringing. 😱☠️👻
