About this listen
An unremembered past. A deadly power. A destiny she never saw coming....
Nic Rutherford is tired of feigning a normal life. She’d rather embrace her strange ability to track local predators and kill them with a kiss. And when her best friend dies, she demands a secretive werewolf help her cross the veil to bring the dead girl back.
When her shifter partner reveals the truth behind Nic’s forgotten history, she pushes further into the treacherous Fae realm. But when she trains with the Wild Hunt warriors, she may be signing a magical contract with deathly consequences....
Will Nic unlock the mystery of her former life, or will sinister forces swallow her soul forever?
The Goodnight Kiss is the first darkly violent book in the Unseelie Court urban fantasy series. If you like vigilante justice, relentless heroes, and graphic scenes, then you’ll love Gwen Rivers’ thrilling and explicit tale.

Story
My whole life has been characterized by fighting; fighting my family and fighting for my life. Trust me—the first one is completely voluntary, and a lot of fun. The second? Not so much. To say my family dynamic is weird is the understatement of the century. I held my first sword when I was only five years old, and I learned how to dispose of a body before I turned ten. I may have a penchant for pink and sparkles…but that doesn’t mean I don’t know how to kick major ass as well.

Welcome to Fate Hollow Academy, where supernaturals blessed by the Fates cultivate their manifested powers and master ancient magic. Fate Hollow is the academy of the elite, where supernatural beings with special magic train for war against humans.

They think I’m half angel and half human. They think I have no magic. They think that because I grew up in the human world, I’m clueless about what to expect at Seraphim Academy. They’re wrong. I’m not half human. I’m half demon. And this little succubus has come to play. My brother vanished from Seraphim Academy without a trace, and I’ll do whatever it takes to find him, including infiltrating the school myself. Even if it means going up against my brother’s best friends. They may be angel royalty, but if they think they can intimidate me into leaving, they’re wrong.

When my parents were murdered in cold blood, life became a shock in more ways than one. Obviously, my parents were sheltering me, and for good reason. Not only am I a dragoness, but there’s also a slightly insane-sounding prophecy. Something powerful has been asleep inside of me, lurking in the shadows. My spine is tingling, how about yours? I’m supposed to save the world. But first, I have a score to settle. Oh, and to fulfill the prophecy, I’m supposed to take on a mate. Or…more accurately, mates. As in, more than one. My inner beast is super-excited about it.

The only person who actually tries to help me is the alarmingly attractive Tennessee. He has immeasurable power and breathtaking mismatched eyes. I'm drawn to him on a level I can't explain...and he's forbidden from getting too close to me.

Perfect for fans of fantasy with a completely original story. The MC isn’t a whiny typical heroine and I loved her steely attitude. I can’t wait for more. I also enjoyed the narration it flowed perfectly.

LOVE 💘love 💘love 💘
Holy crap. I love fantasy and sci-fi books. I always have. But after reading a lot of them, I sometimes I notice there's a lot of similarities and repeating ideas,plots, and details. But this book has to be one of the most original fantasy book I've ever read/listened to. I would LOVE an opportunity to listen and review the next book! Oh and the narrator was amazing. I actually thought there were two narrators at one point because her male voice was awesome. I tried to do the male voice and it was aweful. My husband was cracking up! But anyway, this is a fabulous book and I highly recommended!
This audiobook was given to me at my request.(Thanx Story Origin). I am providing a honest and voluntary review.

5 stars are not enough!!!
Wow! What a read! The author has done a great job combining fey lore with Scandinavian Mythology and delivered a highly engrossing and addictive read. The story is dark, twisted, full of mystery, suspense, intrigue and a romance that took my breath away. Nothing is revealed from the start. Nic's past is uncovered bit by bit, through narrations and flashbacks. Nothing is as it seems, there are layers upon layers that hide the truth. I really adored this story! I can't wait to get my hands on the next installment!!!
As far as the audibook is concerned, it was an amazing experience. The narrator did a wonderful job in bringing the story and characters to life.

It does not get any better than this series
Such a excellent book. The narrator nailed how the characters interact and what their personalities were.
Nic is a young woman with several gifts . Beauty , first and foremost is one of her most deadly . Older men who prey on very young woman are her forte. Her good nite kiss sealed the deal , killing them , when they try to hurt the fairer sex. But their is so much more to this story . Nic is a true immortal queen of the fae , protected by the fates , hunted by the wild hunt ... and bound to a sexy big black wolf . It doesn’t get any better .

Light and dark
The story is both darkness and light. I like the otherworldly aspect to this story. The goodnight kiss is certainly a final kiss. I love how long the story was and it was difficult to put down, but I had to. I got this book from storyorgins and this is my voluntary and honest review.
