About this listen

When Monroe Dubois woke up this morning, she hadn’t planned to set an office building on fire. She really hadn’t. Plagued with a lifetime of hallucinations and doctor’s appointments, she was sick and tired of being poked and prodded. She just wanted to live like a normal 25-year-old who had no idea what to do with their lives. Was that too much to ask for?

So when the office fire drew the attention of Kaden, the hottest and most infuriating man she’d ever met, she was…curious. When he kept showing up randomly, she was hesitant. And when he told her she’s part of an ancient line of elemental guardians tasked with keeping Earth and her inhabitants safe, well, she was positive she was having hallucinations again.

It wasn’t until Kaden showed Monroe irrefutable proof of his claims that she had to start to question her entire existence. Would it be enough, though? There was an unnatural darkness brewing, casting the world in devastation, and the fates had spoken. The world would either be cast into fiery rule or innate darkness—only she could decide.

As Monroe enters into a cosmic war she had no prior knowledge of, she will have to let go of everything she’s ever thought she knew and accept who she was always meant to be. The fate of the world depends on it.

From Darkness and Chaos is the first book in the epic paranormal urban fantasy trilogy, The Eternals.

I have listened to the audiobook twice now, once when it first came out and again this month to get ready for book two! I love the storyline, the connection to Greek mythology, and a strong female lead. There are also some really timely issues touched on as well like mental health awareness & advocacy. In times like these, I feel that underlying theme is a big part of the success of the heroine’s story too. It is well done in my opinion. The narrator, Alexa, does a fantastic job bringing the story and characters to life. I can’t wait to find out what comes next.

So good!
