About this listen

A world the gods forgot.

Of all the worlds and life they created, the gods favored their children the most. But with that favor came the fear that their Legacy would one day become too powerful and overthrow them. Devram was created. A realm hidden amongst the stars. The gods gave their Legacy the best of all the worlds, and then they left, a sworn agreement to never return and to never interfere.

A historical event.

Forced to a life of servitude, the Fae are required to provide for the Legacy in more ways than one. Every five years, the eligible Fae are gathered for the Selection and assigned to serve in one of the six Kingdoms. To be chosen as the personal Source for a Kingdom Heir is the greatest honor, and for the first time in a millennia, all six Kingdoms have heirs choosing a Source. But their selections could tip the power balance a little too far.

A chosen that was never meant to be.Tessalyn Asura was as forgotten as the realm. But when she finds herself the personal Source to the Heir of Endings, she winds up serving in the darkest Kingdom of them all. The secrets within the Arius Kingdom are meant to be learned and kept, but this was never the life she wanted. Fighting not only the fate thrust upon her, but the temptation to lose herself to desire, Tessa will do anything to escape her new destiny. Until she starts to realize maybe their world wasn’t as forgotten as they thought, and maybe she’s the reason why.

Rain of Shadows and Endings is book one in The Legacy Series and ends on a cliffhanger. This is new adult dark fantasy romance series and includes elements that may be triggering to some listeners.

whiny, Tessa is really whiny!

story is ok, but the whole book is on Tessa whining and childish. I hope the next book is better.

so good!

This was so unexpectedly underrated..

I haven't come across a listen this good in a while.. it's reminiscent of "blood and ash" but not.. it ends on a cliffhanger (shocker🙄) but it has all the angst with enemies to lovers vibes, forced proximity, strong FMC, alpha Male over protective assholes, suspence, paranormal/ romantacy.. all while a profecy unfolding... all the feels ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Finally Something Fresh

I have listened to hundreds of audiobooks and rarely take the time to leave a review, but I feel like this one deserves some more excellent reviews. SO GOOD. Finally, a FMC that doesn’t fall in love at first kiss. She is temperamental, but relatable.

The banter amongst the characters keeps the story exciting and the author doesn’t spell out every little detail you, like in the Lady of Darkness series (I’m trying to read now because I’m in the midst of a book hangover after this one, but it’s just not written the same)….AUDIBLE, PLEASE RELEASE THE REST OF THIS SERIES!!!!

I love this book

I love this book. It's the first book I have read that I hate the MMC but LOVE the book. I have a feeling that he will get redemption and I am here for it. I like the FMC and love the side MCs. If you like Lady of Darkness you will like this series. This was is darker than Lady if Darkness but the world building it great. It is amazing additional to multiverse Melissa is building.

So. Damn. Good.

Seriously so good. The world building. The narrator’s. Everything was wonderful! The only criticism I would have would be that it had a lot of hibbity bibbity that got a bit confusing. Also I do wish Theon would have made Tessa realize that s*it was more dire before the last few chapters. Other than that it was good.

a wordy story

I was very intrigued by the story and the magical world. Though the writing is descriptve, it seemed too drawn out and repeated arguments by my guess toshowcase I wished this book was a bit shorter

Such a great book full of twists and turns.

This book is a must read for suspense, thriller, dark fantasy, romance readers! I’m glad the book was so long because the storyline is too intense to be crammed into less pages. The character development is amazing and they story structure is perfect for suspense readers. It does have a little bit of a dark fantasy edge so if twisted MMC is not your style. I don’t know if this book would be for you. This book does leave you on quite a cliffhanger so make sure to be ready to read the other two books as well.

I kind of hated all the characters

It’s hard to love a book where you root for no one, that said I do want to know what comes next so I may read book 2

Narration

Plot was spell-binding and narration was exquisitely done. Absolutely edge-of-seat with splendid twists and turns. Recommend highly!

The female character and her attitude and trauma.

This book wasn't very exciting to me. Although I'm curious how they could start and end the next book, I'm not sure I care to read it.
