In a world of suppressed magic, I’m an Unknown. Deadly power, little control. I’m only alive because I pay a blood sorcerer to keep me hidden. But when he comes to collect on the debt I can’t pay, one of his goons slams me with a deadly curse. Suddenly, I’m out of options and out of time.
When I’m given a rare chance to join the secretive Undercover Protectorate and train at their academy to become an investigator, I have a way to hunt the cure for the curse. They have resources I don’t. Easy, since I’m broke.
Seems like a good plan, right? At least, until they tell me Cade will be joining me on my hunt for the Blood Sorcerer. He's an actual Celtic war god - and the hottest guy I’ve ever seen. The catch? I can’t let him know that I’m an Unknown, or I’m out on my ass and deader than Hades.

Laurel Schroeder's performance is as usually superb, as she tackles different accents and characters as noone else.
a great listen for all fantasy loveres out there.
Change of scenery for Bree and Anna

So I was thrilled that our lovely author gave away codes to download this new book in the fourth series in this world to her readers.
Bree is someone new to me, I don't really remember her much from Cass's books, and I haven't yet read the other 2 series. So I was expecting a bit more backstory, and I was kind of off-balance about her story and connection with my favorite Fire Souls.
But that's OK 'cause Bree's still a badass and amazing fighter. So is her sister, but the story isn't about Ana. The sisters are Unknowns and have to hide their powers. But they're in trouble with the super creepy Blood Sorcerer, who they owe too much for keeping them hidden, and since they can't pay, now they're on his hit list.
No problem though, just in time an amazing group called the Undercover Protectorate come in and "invite" Bree and her sister to join their group. And that's when we meet Cade. Swoony, strong, with a Scottish accent. Oh, and he's the God of War. Can't lose there. You can tell the attraction right away. But, we have a teacher-apprentice conflict of interest issue going on and I'm curious to see how they overcome it.
I do enjoy this world and this universe of Magicka and Shifters and all these additional creatures. While this book had too much of a first-book-in-a-series feel (versus being the 16th book in this world) I am looking forward to more with these characters and this storyline.
Great start to a spin off paranormal series

This was lots of fun! Loved the premise and all the action! There's zombies, skeletons coming alive, and booby trapped rooms to escape! Lots of awesomeness! I liked that the characters kick butt, and the story was interesting throughout the whole thing. There's a small pinch of romance, but it is limited, so I would've liked more of that. This fits into the YA category so far with the lack of romance. I'm really looking forward to seeing the story progress and seeing how the romance evolves (hopefully!!) There's lots of awesome magic usage too! The story starts out exciting with some goons coming to capture Bree and her sister, Ana. These 2 have been in hiding since they were little kids, but they don't really know from what. They both have trust issues, so when a group from the Undercover Protectorate asks them to join the team; they aren't too sure about that. Among them is sexy Kade, who has some incredible abilities of his own. Bree and Kade grow closer, but there's some obstacles in the way. Bree and the group need to find the bad guy before it's too late! So, the adventure begins!! I listened to the audio version of this book, and the narrator did a really good job. I liked the listening experience, and I'm excited to read the next in the series. I actually went to get the next one in audio since I had a credit, but I saw that all the books Linsey Hall's other series were grouped in a boxset, so I picked that up instead!
Entertaining, Unique, and good narration

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
Everything about this is competently done. Strong voice acting, well written in the technical sense, moves along at a decent clip-- but there isn't anything new or interestingly put together in the world-build that grabbed me, or made me want to continue with the series. Strong, sassy, mistrustful girl (who seems younger than she is supposed to be) with mysterious, uncontrolled magic meets broody, mysterious dude with an accent. They must work together because she has no other options-- oh and she is, of course, attracted to him. We've been down this road before....What three words best describe Laurel Schroeder’s performance?
Laurel's work is evenly paced, clear, and understandable. She does solid accent work, and the changes between characters, both male and female, were consistent and smooth.Any additional comments?
I received a free copy of this audiobook at my request, and have written this review voluntarily.Strong Performance, but nothing new here...
