About this listen
The Unseelie Prince is the first novella in the Hawthorn Throne series.
The Folk have never shied away from taking what they want. Legends speak of faeries stealing people from their beds, swapping infants with changelings, and impregnating women they find beautiful. You should never trust them, though they cannot lie. Eat their food, and you may never see home again.
Noah Reid has spent his life seeking normalcy after a turbulent childhood with a superstitious mother who refused to answer questions about the father he never knew and instead attempted to impress upon him a real fear of faeries.
Despite his mother’s best efforts, Noah finds himself ripped from the life he knows and thrust into a palace of nightmares. Here, he must face the persistent attention of the regent and discover the shocking truth his mother took to her grave.

Whisper doesn’t remember his real name. All he knows is the elite assassin guild that raised him—and controls him with the threat of blood magic. Plagued by nightmares, he doesn’t get to refuse assignments, even when his new job doesn’t make sense: infiltrate Prince Julien’s court, protect him until the signal arrives, then kill him.

The stories were all wrong—Hook was never the villain. For two centuries, all of the Darling women have disappeared on their 18th birthday. Sometimes they’re gone for only a day, some a week or a month. But they always return broken. Now, on the afternoon of my 18th birthday, my mother is running around the house making sure all the windows are barred and the doors locked. But it’s pointless. Because when night falls, he comes for me. And this time, the Never King and the Lost Boys aren’t willing to let me go.

Asha's life is no fairytale, by any stretch of the imagination. There was no kind, generous father to care for and protect her from the Vegas that exists beyond the glitz and glamour of The Strip. No wise, doting mother to look over and guide her, passing down essential lessons and leading her to the right path. And certainly, no Prince Charming just around the corner, ready to rescue her from working late nights to cover steadily mounting bills.

Unique SciFi Alien Romance
- By Adriana B on 02-01-19
By: T.J. Quinn
The author created an amazing, eerie fantasy world. There's an unsettling vibe that runs throughout the story, danger lurking in hidden places, which I thought very well done.
Our MC, Noah Reid, is kidnapped from his home by the Folk, also known as Faeries, though definitely not of the Tinkerbell variety. He's kept as a prisoner and only has one visitor, whom he depends on for food and information. Stockholm syndrome here we come... This prison guard/protector is an enigmatic, powerful figure who sets out to seduce Noah. But to what end?
This is not a romance, at all, but a very intriguing story nonetheless. I can't wait to discover what will happen next in this series.
Narration: This is the first audio book I've heard narrated by Liam Taylor, though I certainly hope it won't be the last. He does a truly outstanding job at creating a sense of mystery and enchantment and he makes the Regent sound almost dangerously mesmerizing.The accent he gives all the Folk, but especially the Regent, is delicious and a joy to listen to.
Dark&highly original story. Mesmerizing narration!

This is a quick and engaging story. I was pulled right in from the start and am eagerly waiting for more. Noah has never known anything about his father and as he learns about who he is and the beings that he comes from he slowly begins to find purpose. The only one that Noah is able to interact with is the Regent but is he there to help or hinder. Noah must learn the answer to this question the hard way. I really enjoyed this world and its characters. Narrator Liam Taylor does a wonderful job bringing life to these characters and had me immersed into the story as soon as I hit play.

The story is full of manipulation and hot, sultry sex as Fearghas maneuvers his way onto the Hawthorne Throne. Poor Noah soon learns that nothing is as it seems, and trust should not be handed out so freely.
Kaitlyn Abdou has a wonderful writing style and it left me wanting more. The book also has beautiful illustrations done by Felix Avenier. The audiobook version of this book is well done. Liam Taylor was a wonderful choice for narrator. His voice was rich and full of depths that enhanced the sultry darkness of the story.
Overall, the book was four stars – it was extremely good, but the brevity of the book stifled the plot a little – it felt more like a prequel and I really hope Kaitlyn Abdou continues this series.

Kaitlyn Abdou describes everything in stunning detail. From the faeries to horn wearing demons, and everything Noah experiences, this is a magical world and we’ve just seen the smallest bit. I’m looking forward to many more episodes in “The Hawthorne Throne”, and I definitely hope they’re all narrated by Liam Taylor.
Mr. Taylor’s rich and sultry voice adds an additional layer of mystery and romance to the story. His portrayal of Fearghas is seductive and devilishly wonderful, and his performance elevates the whole experience. I highly recommend enjoying The Unseelie Prince as an audiobook.
