Publisher's summary

Only when the darkness falls can you see the light of the stars.

For thousands of years, the scribes and singers of the Irin race have existed to protect humanity and guard the gifts of the Forgiven. They have lived in the shadows. They have kept their secrets.

But the Irin aren't the only race with secrets.

Ava and Malachi have survived the darkness, but will they ever discover the light? A powerful cabal of the Fallen may hold the answers, but to surrender them, it wants the Irin race to finally face their enemies. Both those coming from the outside and those raging within.

The Secret is the third book in the contemporary fantasy series, the Irin Chronicles, and the conclusion of Ava and Malachi's journey.

Read the books in order!

I didn't think I was going to like this series but I must say it is one my very favorite series I've listened to in a VERY long time. I've listened to the entire series many times and each time I find that I missed one detail or another that adds even more intrigue to the books.. Hunter does a fantastic job bringing her characters to life and doesn't give you time to really judge someone as good or "evil"..... Those who had always been feared may not be the ones to be feared, they may be the ones that not only become allies but also the ones who aide in the salvation of the Scribes, their mates, humans and peace on Earth.

Worth a credit? YES, IT'S A MUST READ! Don't miss out, it's a very, very interesting series that is filled with just about every genre. Definitely glad I didn't skip this series, I guarantee you will not be able to wait to listen to the next book, each one leaves you breathless and full of anticipation for more of the story!

Nice conclusion to the trilogy

What did you love best about The Secret?

I think the second half of the book was fantastic. Many questions from the first three were answered and the characters really developed and moved the story forward.

Have you listened to any of Zachary Webber’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I haven't, but I loved him in this and will look for more books he has narrated. He was fantastic, especially with all the foreign accents.

Any additional comments?

It was a bit slow in the beginning and the Ava character was getting on my nerves for being so whiney, but Zachary Webber's voice kept me hooked. It really picked up in the second half and I really enjoyed it. If she writes another book set in this universe, I will definitely read it.

Absolutely excellent

Gawhhhh! This book was, is and always be FABULOUS! I’ve probably listened to the entire series at least 5 times. Sometimes I forget that only one person is narrating and dude- that takes talent! The writing is phenomenal and the overall storyline is AMAZING! A definite must listen! ❤️
