About this listen
Plucked out of the Collector’s Pens, auctioned off to a vampire contingent, and sent across the ocean to the Alpha Territories was not exactly how I planned to spend my week.
Actually, scratch that. I had planned the first bit. But I was supposed to be sold to the werewolves so I could save my friend from a fate worse than death. Instead, the bloodsuckers have me and so far? It's not going great. I've been shoved into a corset and made to look like an extra on the cast of Bridgerton, all to take part in the Harvest Games—think The Bachelor set in the 1800s, but the men are all vampires, and then add a decidedly terrifying Squid Games element to the mix.
No problem.
My goal—besides keeping the number of holes in my body to the current norm—is more than surviving. It is escaping the inescapable, finding my way to the werewolf territory, and getting Jordan back.
Cue the political strife.
Armed with nothing more than a super sharp hairpin, my questionable charm, and an irrational amount of optimism, plans to get both me and my bestie out alive are in full swing.
Until the General of the Vampire Army and his molten eyes light me on fire and leave me wondering if escape is what I want after all.
Maybe one extra set of holes wouldn’t be the worst thing ever....

A penniless noblewoman, Kat is on the verge of losing everything when she's offered a well-paid job that could be her salvation… or her ruin. Drawn into court's deadly intrigues, she's given a single task: spy on the powerful fae lord known as the Night Queen's Shadow. Bastian Marwood is handsome, ruthless, and cunning, but Kat can't decide if he's a threat to her kingdom or just her heart. To uncover the truth, she must play a dangerous game of desire and deceit, pushing him to reveal his secrets while protecting her own.

Story
"Happily Ever After" wasn't supposed to come with a do-over option. But when my husband of 20 years packs up and heads for greener pastures, and my son heads away to college, that's exactly what my midlife becomes. A do-over. This time, though, I plan to do things differently. Age is just a number, after all, and at 40 I'm ready to carve my own path. Eager for a fresh start, I make a somewhat unorthodox decision and move to a tiny town in the Sierra foothills.

I had no idea how those words would change my life. Or how they’d changed my life already...until the day the most dangerous man I’ve ever met waltzed onto my farm and left us a death sentence. In an invitation. My younger brother has been chosen for the prestigious, secret magical school hidden within the folds of our mundane world. A place so dangerous, they don’t guarantee you’ll make it out alive. If he doesn't go, our entire family will be killed. It’s the same invitation my older brother received three years ago - the same place where he mysteriously died.

I knew the sins of my past would call to collect what was left of my soul. If I'd known the price I'd pay, I would've sacrificed more to stay hidden from the magic. In the middle of Wyoming - away from the abnormals of the world - I thought I was free and clear. I started a new life. Found a love I'd never known in a husband, and a son who was my everything. And in a blinding instant, that life was stolen from me.

"My name is Larkspur, and I am an Elemental." My people use the power of the earth to sustain life and defy our enemies. I should be at my father's side as a royal princess. But as a half-breed, bastard child, that isn't going to happen. I've been accused of attacking the queen, my wicked stepmother, and my life is suddenly on the line. I have only two options left to me: banishment, or training to become one of the King's Elite Guards, an Ender. Option one will kill me. Option two is meant to break me, but is the only way to survive.

Reluctantly, she's dragged back to Neverthorn Academy with seven former classmates, tasked with training to confront and defeat the Villain of their world. But the challenges are stacked against her: Professor Hot-as-Sin makes it clear she's a failure. Professor Used-to-Be-a-Mean-Girl has a vendetta. And lurking in her past is a secret so dark it could reveal she's not the Hero the world needs—but the next Villain.

Story
My post-grad life is going nowhere—until I meet a smoking hot billionaire at my favorite art gallery. Sparks fly between us and he literally can’t leave me alone, inviting me to dinner and insisting I come work for him at his exclusive, high-money hotel as a concierge. But he’s haunted and aloof; there’s something strange about him, something unreal. With a flash of his burning aqua eyes, he’s out of my life—until I notice his security detail following me. He’s not going to take no for an answer, even standing outside my window at night to make sure I’m his. And when I begin...

I had no idea how those words would change my life. Or how they’d changed my life already...until the day the most dangerous man I’ve ever met waltzed onto my farm and left us a death sentence. In an invitation. My younger brother has been chosen for the prestigious, secret magical school hidden within the folds of our mundane world. A place so dangerous, they don’t guarantee you’ll make it out alive. If he doesn't go, our entire family will be killed. It’s the same invitation my older brother received three years ago - the same place where he mysteriously died.

Prelevata dai recinti, venduta all’asta a un contingente di vampiri e spedita oltreoceano verso i territori alfa non era esattamente il modo in cui avevo pianificato di trascorrere la mia settimana. In realtà, avevo previsto solo la prima parte. Ma avrei dovuto essere venduta ai lupi mannari per salvare il mio amico da un destino peggiore della morte. Invece, sono finita nelle grinfie dei succhiasangue che mi hanno strizzata in un corsetto alla Bridgerton per partecipare ai Giochi del Raccolto.

I’ve spent twenty-five years in the Hollow, poor as dirt, cursed with a stepmother who hates me, and dreaming about a faraway land that I don’t understand. Only two things that make life worth living are my falcon, Fetch, and my best friend, Molly. But when Molly’s plot to land a royal husband at the palace ball goes horribly wrong, I find myself staring at a king with a glass stiletto buried in his chest and a blood-covered Molly standing over him. We’ve got to move…and fast, or we’ll both wind up swinging from the hangman’s noose.

Once I was a fae princess with sea-magic at my fingertips. Now? I’m a hunted supernatural in a squalid shop, stripped of my power. My only comforts are stale cookies, Elvis records, and my hula-hoop. Then a lethally sexy fae king arrives and rips even those away. After the brutal king throws me in prison, I strike a bargain with him: my freedom in exchange for helping him find a magic blade. What Lyr doesn’t know is that the blade might restore my stolen magic. But as we journey, the gorgeous jerk starts to make me feel things I’ve never felt.

Bought the second book in less than 5 minutes after finishing this one
Heroine who keeps her wits about her, magic, sexy vampires and intriguing politics. The spice adds to the plot and only made the story more intriguing. I absolutely love that the heroine isn’t dumb in love and doesn’t lose sight of her plans.

Great New Series!!!
This is a new series by Shannon Mayer.
This book sucks you in from page one….
I didn’t know what to expect from this book, we didn’t have a lot of plot information before reading.
However, I should not have worried… Everything Shannon Mayer writes is EXCELLENT!!!
This book is new, exciting, hot, and has the potential to be one of my new favorite series.

More Than Just A Girl
It was a good story but it seemed a little too smutty. The actors were good and Edward was a devious character you loved to hate. Dominic was a nice suave on the cast of characters because he knew how to work around Edward. Except for the end.

loved the book!
I really liked the storyline and the characters. The only thing that slightly bothered me was the male narrators voice. I don't know how to discribe it. it has a vintage comic book narrator feel. I didn't mind it for the other characters just not for Dominic.

Great start, wonderful world
I really liked the way this new world is built. The tension between Sienna and Dominic is on fire from the beginning. I do expect lots of twists and turns to follow after this great introduction. I hope I can get my hands on part two soon.

Amazing first in series
Wow. Just wow. A new series from a favorite author. I couldn’t stop listening. It starts with the main character letting herself get caught in a trap, but things go sideways from there. This book has it all, great characters, sexual tension, vampires, werewolves, and more. This series hooked me from the first chapter and I can’t wait for more.

This is honestly the kind of fantasy and naughty book I've been looking for! it recreates the feelings I had reading Twilight in my youth but much better written and more for the adult mind. great job! I can't wait for the others.
