About this listen

Ashling Donoghue never dreamed that moving to Ireland would rock her perception of reality and plunge her into a mystery that brings legend to life.

At 17, she’s never had a boyfriend, but she feels an immediate connection to Aengus Breasal, the son of a wealthy Irishman, who’s invited her family to stay at his Killarney Estate. For the first time in her life, a guy she likes seems attracted to her.

But Aengus is secretive, with good reason. He and his family are the Tuatha Dé Danann - ageless, mythical guardians adept at shifting between this reality and the magical dimension known as the Otherworld. Evil forces from that world threaten the Breasals, the Donoghues, and all of Ireland. Ashling must open her heart, face her fears, and embrace a destiny greater than she could ever have imagined.

Great Tale

Interesting story! I love the old myths and legends of Ireland. This story is about a family who goes on a working holiday to Ireland for different purposes. One for a centuries old manuscript and one to write a book and do supernatural ghost hunting. They have 4 children 2 girls and twin boys, this particular story is about the oldest girl who has quite a gift. Her gift starts to develop as they leave for Ireland and gets more pronounced the longer, she is there. The end of the story will blow your mind and make you a little sad. The narrator did an ok job, I wish she would have distinguished between the voices more. But over all she kept me interested throughout the story. I am looking forward to the other books in this series.

I received a free copy of this audio book from Story Origin for an honest review.

Magical YA Suspense

I was fortunate to win the ebooks in this series and I was also given a complimentary copy of the audiobooks as well. I am happy to voluntarily provide an unbiased review for this first book in the series. This was an outstanding, magical story with enchanting characters and a marvellous storyline that kept me enthralled from beginning to end. I am not usually drawn to this genre, however I thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook and am anxious to begin the next one to see what happens next. I thought the narrator did a splendid job with all the voices and kept my interest throughout.

A great start to the series

This book slowly eases into the fantastical and magical elements. I love how Irish lore is woven throughout, and the stage has been set for something big to come.

I enjoyed this tale by Judith Sterling. Her writing style and unique plot kept me interested from the very beginning.

Jenny Beesley did a fine job with the narration. She definitely brought out the personalities of the different characters.

Great Read

I have really enjoyed listening to this novel in my car. I'm half Irish (thanks Ancestry) and listening to the Characters speak Gaelic and give the meanings has been very interesting. Also the Irish folklore is fascinating. I feel like this book (part of a series) could become a movie. This is supposed to be a teen book but I think other adults would like it. Great Book Judy! I cannot wait to read the other books.

Holy WOWZA

So I wasn't sure what I was expecting with this but I wasn't expecting this. This is an amazing world building story with lots of little twists. Jenny Beesley is probably the best narrator I've come across to date! If there is a thud, instead of reading something dropped there is an audible thud. Same thing with screams or knocks. Absolutely amazing. Judith Sterling wrote a beautiful story full of irish lore and myth. She weaves everything together beautifully and really brings the landscape and dimensions to life for the reader.
Ashling Donoghue has moved to Ireland with her family. Shes never felt so at home in such a deep sense as she does here. Things start to happen and Aengus is there at almost every new turn. Legends and myths take real shape and the adventure never stops! She is learning to really open up herself but keep her activities secret from her family. Learning of lives past and what the future holds is a lot for a 17 year old girl, for anyone. Take a listen to this stunning world to see just how Ashling takes on her new role.

I requested and was given this audiobook complimentary at my request and have voluntarily left this review with my honest opinion

Magical

This was a magical and imaginary Irish tale. It involves an American family who is invited to Ireland on a paranormal research assignment. Little do they know how much of the past has to do with them. Mythical creatures and the Other World are enchanting. I received a complimentary audio and this review is voluntary.
