About this listen

I thought my life was perfect, but then I learned it was all a lie.

My name is El, and I live in a quiet southern town where the most exciting thing that happens is Friday night football and the Harvest Moon Festival. That is…until I learn that the three women who raised me have been lying to me all my life.

I thought I was an orphan. I thought my aunts loved and respected me enough to always tell me the truth.

I was wrong. Dead wrong.

Right before my 18th birthday, the truth of my birth, of my whole existence, came crashing down all around me, destroying everything I thought I knew about my life. Not only is my mother alive, but she’s the mythical Pandora. You remember her. She’s the one who opened the box Zeus gave her and unleashed chaos into the world.

Supposedly, I’m the savior that three other worlds I didn’t even knew existed are counting on to rescue them. There’s just one problem. I can only save one of them.

A champion from each of these troubled worlds are coming to my home so I can choose one to marry. Whoever I pick, gets to not only save their world but also have me as their wife. The battle to win my heart won’t be easy for them, if my aunts have anything to say about it. They’ll all have to participate in a tournament that will challenge not only their physical strengths but also their ability to charm me into falling in love with them.

I don’t want this responsibility. I don’t want to save one world while dooming two others. There has to be a way out of all of this, but the evil forcing this choice on me…the one who has waited a millennium for me to finally come of age to participate in this game…is my own brother, and he won’t take no for an answer.

He’s chaos unleashed, and I’m the only one who can stop him.

A Story Worth Waiting For

I love this author, so when I heard this book was coming I could not wait. I was so pleased she was writing a mythology based book. It absolutely did not disappoint.

Trying to find Artus after her banishment?

I must admit, before listening to this book, I didn’t realize it had a few familiar characters from S.J. West’s Vampire Conclave series. By the time I started listening to Pandora’s Gift, I had already listened to all her books available here on Audible. I first stumbled across the author while browsing the Audible Plus Catalog. The first book of hers I read was Broken, book 1 in The Watchers Chronicles.

Again, because I didn’t know this was kind of a branch off from one of her series, I wasn’t sure what to expect. You can listen to this book without listening to the Vampire Conclave series, but if you love S.J. West’s books, I recommend reading those before you read Pandora’s Gift.

When I listened to the sample before purchasing and heard the narration, I was hooked. I have already listened to all of West’s books here on Audible and love her story telling and I just knew I would enjoy this one. The narrator was easy to listen to and you could get a sense of each character and their personalities through her narration. This was my first time listening to this narrator and she did a great job keeping you engaged in the story and allowing the reader to be able to differentiate between each of the characters.

Pandora encompasses all that comes with being a young woman coming into adulthood. She’s an only child adopted by three very strong and protective mothers. As her 18th birthday approaches, her world is turned upside and her future is not what she thought it would be when she finds out who her parents really are. What powers have lied dormant inside her since birth, starts to present themselves.

As I mentioned before, I recommend listening to the Vampire Conclave series before starting this one. It will help quite a bit knowing several characters that come into this book, even though the main line of this can be a stand-alone story, I can’t say the other books to be written in this series will.

If you love sci-fi fantasy, S.J. West’s books are just amazing stories. They encompass creatures from vampires to Greek gods and even to angels. Start listening and get addicted, just like I did!
