About this listen
If he’s death, I crave oblivion.
Elowen is cursed: she kills with a brush of her fingertips. Her worst fear is hurting the boy she cares for—and her second-worst is the attention of the Raven Lord. Maelor is the lethally beautiful leader of the witch-hunters. And now, he seems like he knows her secrets.
When he arrests her, her only hope is to survive a series of brutal trials. Ninety-nine out of a hundred will die, and magic is strictly forbidden. Strangely, Maelor is immune to Elowen’s touch. The Raven Lord claims to want to help her. But as she spends more time with him, she discovers he has a dark secret of his own. Is he the reason bodies have been showing up around the kingdom, drained of blood?
The more Maelor wants Elowen, the more dangerous he becomes. In a world where trusting someone can get you killed, will this beautiful monster help her survive?
Hallowed Games is the first book in a new series of fantasy romance, morally-grey characters, and deadly trials: perfect for fans of A Court of Thorns and Roses and Serpent and the Wings of Night.

It turns out, I have a magic power needed to fight an evil fey king. I'm quickly whisked off to an elite spy academy in a hidden realm. There, in the ancient and gothic halls of Avalon Tower, snobbery and brutal competitions are among the oldest traditions.

I thought this would be a simple profiling case. Just another Jack the Ripper wannabe, prowling London’s streets, searching for easy kills. I was wrong. This killer is fae, and he’s as elusive as smoke on the wind. But I’m an FBI profiler, and it’s my job to track him down. It doesn’t matter that one of the main suspects - a lethally alluring fae - is trying to seduce me...or kill me, I’m not sure which. I won’t be stopped, not even when panic roils through the streets of London or when the police start to suspect me.

Fae games will change you . . . but their love will ruin you. At least, that's what my mother told me. My mother had three rules: 1. Never make a bargain with a fairy. 2. Never enter the Waywoods on a hunting day. 3. Never give the High Fae princes a reason to notice you. But even when I followed all the rules, the royal fae still took my family from me. So in one night I broke all three rules, and brought the kingdom to their knees.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

Let the Games Begin
This is such a great story, I love the world and the magic system, the “holy” and “witches”.
The corrupt religious zealots, who wish to rid the world of the evil witches, and the games that they force the accused to participate in, in hopes of being “forgiven”
There are so many twists and turns, alliances, secrets, battles and The Resistance.
Will Elwen survive the Games?

Wow a great adult paranormal romance
Hallowed Games is filled with witches, witch hunters and vampires. It is exciting, sexy and such an entertaining read! Our FMC, Elowen, is slightly older than many fantasy books out there, pushing into her 30s and as a mid 30 year old reader I was all there for it.
I loved that the connection really holding Elowen to her humanity is a little boy named Leo who she has taken in. There is a clear love interest that plays throughout the story but it’s Leo and his safety that helps Elowen really hold on and push through.
I loved the plot twist at the end and I love how it sets up the direction for the next book!
As always CN Crawford did an amazing job with this series opener. The story is well paced and the dialogue is perfectly placed and adds to the allure of the story.
The narration was done so well. They did a great job bringing these characters to life and adding to their personality.
If you love witch and vampire stories then give this a try!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“I’m cursed to kill with a brush of my fingertips. Everyone I touch dies—until I meet Maelor. He’s the mysterious, beautiful hunter of the cursed. And he’s immune to my touch.
The cursed like me are forced into deathly trials every year. Magic is forbidden, and our god chooses only one to grant mercy. The rest will die.
But it turns out, Maelor has a curse of his own. The reason I can’t kill him? He’s already dead. Turns out, he’s a vampire—lethally sexy, and dangerous as hell.
As the trials go on, I find that Maelor is as drawn to me as I am to him. Can this beautiful monster help me become the chosen one, or will our forbidden attraction lead me to ruin?”
HALLOWED GAMES is absolutely FANTASTIC 🤩
From the beginning, you’re thrown into a world where nothing is as it seems. With characters you can’t help but root for (or throat punch) and a plot that keeps you guessing until the very end.
VANQUISHED GODS can’t come soon enough!

Strap in as CN Crawford does it again
Strap in for a ride with this one and be prepared for loops and turns.
Part 1 of the book was great setting up the story. Part 2 was straight up Hunger Games, winner takes all. Part 3 was a mind -f.
Book 1 definitely sets us up for a great series ahead and leaves you on a cliffy that asks so many questions. Who to trust? What's the cause? Who's happily ever after material!
I received an ARC of this book for an honest review, but due to personal events couldn't read it in time so I also bought the audio book. Highly recommended to listen to the audio!

the story line
Ive never read a vampire book prior to Hallowed Games, but this one has now got me interested in reading more. Elowen has the touch of death. She is named as one who is kissed by the serpent by her "used to be best friend" ... now she must go to the trials, where only one can make it through to survive will be pardoned. She will do anythingto make it back to Leo. Maelor, the raven lord is immune to her touch and tries to help her through the trials. She finds out that he is a vampire and that he has shadow magic (okay shadow daddy). But she makes alliance ti make it through the trials. Elowen wants to save all of the accused and end these trials for good.she hears about a resistance within the order. Both elowen and maelor are touched by death. Maelor himself being "undead" and elowen is the "mother of death" my favorite quote in the book is "If he is death I craved oblivion."♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
Sions is a good character as well. im starting to fall for him too! I definitely wouldnt complain about having either of them! Spice level is 3.5 things are starting to get hot in here!! But its also accompanied by a good plot that kept me equally invested. It ends with a cliffhanger and now I'm (not so) patiently waiting for the second book to come out.

Witch trials with vampires? Yes please!
It's the Salem witch trials, but with deadly games for a chance to get their curse lifted and throw in a couple of vampires to really spice things up! Elowen has a touch that kills. Maelor is the Raven Lord helping keep her alive. Secrets and betrayal galore! Can't wait to see what happens next!

The Slowest of burns but great story.
Narration
Caitlin Davies narration was not bad but i had to put the narration speed to 1.5x. I liked how she was able to change her inflection between characters.
Story
The story took me a bit to get into and the premise of the story is quite interesting. I had to push through the book and all the good stuff happen midstory so you really have to drag a little. Of course, this is a slow burn so i am probably just impatient haha The characters are captivating and had me wanting more of the story.
