About this listen
Helena has come far from the day she became custodian of Abernathy’s, the world’s only living oracle. Now, she faces her greatest challenge yet: the oracle’s prediction that it, and she, will end.
As monstrous invaders strike city after city, leaving death and destruction behind, the Wardens scramble to defend humanity. Weakened by infighting, they turn to Abernathy’s for guidance and strength. But the oracle’s cryptic guidance may no longer be enough.
With time running out, and her allies falling one after another, Helena faces the terrifying possibility that saving the world will mean her death.

Unpacking her belongings in her new hometown of Portland, Oregon, herbalist and reformed alchemist Zoe Faust can't help but notice she's picked up a stowaway. Dorian Robert-Houdin is a living, breathing three-and-half-foot gargoyle - not to mention a master of French cuisine - and he needs Zoe's expertise to decipher a centuries-old text. Zoe, who's trying to put her old life behind her, isn't so sure she wants to reopen her alchemical past... until the dead man on her porch leaves her no choice.

Librarian Sylvia Ashe knows nothing about her past, having grown up without a father and a mother who refused to discuss him. When she stumbles upon a diary that suggests she's descended from magicians, she's skeptical. After all, magicians are special, and she's just an ordinary woman who loves books. She seeks answers from a member of the most prominent family of magicians, but she quickly learns that finding the truth won't be easy, especially when he turns out to be as artless as her, and more compelling and dangerous than books.

Twenty-six-year-old Beatrice Hyde-Clare is far too shy to investigate the suspicious death of a fellow guest in the Lake District. A spinster who lives on the sufferance of her relatives, she would certainly not presume to search the rooms of her host's son and his friend looking for evidence. Reared in the twin virtues of deference and docility, she would absolutely never think to question the imperious Duke of Kesgrave about anything, let alone how he chose to represent the incident to the local constable. And yet that's exactly what she does.

Story
He's not like other guys. Liz has seen him around school. It's hard to miss Max - the tall, blond, blue-eyed senior stands out among all the other students at Roswell High. So why is he such a loner? Max is in love with Liz. He loves the way her eyes light up when she laughs and the way her long, black hair moves when she turns her head. Most of all, he loves to imagine what it would be like to kiss her. But he knows he can't get too close. He can't risk her discovering the truth about who he is - or what he is....Because the truth could kill her.

Great book, but sad for the end of the series.
Loved this series! FUN and suspenseful too, with a hint of romance. Nice character development.

A favorite that I’m sure to read again
I stumbled across this series while I was having a tough time getting interested in a book. I did not expect to enjoy it so much. Had I known, I would’ve waited to start it when I wasn’t so busy. I couldn’t put any of these books down. I read them instead of studying and stayed up until the early morning hours while I finished several of these books. I have no doubt that it’s added to my list of all time favorite series, along with Harry Potter, Fablehaven, and Inkheart. However, it’s the most mature of those series and I feel so thankful to have found myself again lost in a fantasy world, which I feared went away with my childhood. Needless to say, I absolutely recommend this series.

I’m done
I really love the idea of this series and have been looking past the problems with it because I wanted to know how it would end. The author is also pretty good a writing cliffhangers that get you to the next book. But the writing isn’t improving and the use of trite phrases and colloquialisms just got to be too much. It felt like McShane is phoning it in and lacks interest in the characters and the story. I found myself asking why I should care if the author doesn’t.
What makes it even worse is the narration and performance. It is truly awful and she has not improved at all. Her voice is flat, the characters all basically sound the same, and when she tries an accent it is dreadful. She really did the story a huge disservice and her poor performance is a large part of the reason that this book will remain on my unfinished list.
