About this listen

Once, we’d worshipped them as Gods.

For nearly four-hundred years, the Veil has protected us from the Fae of Alfheimr. In their absence, our lives have shifted from decadence and sin to survival and virtue under the guidance of the New Gods. I’ve spent my entire life tending to the gardens next to the boundary between our worlds, drawn to the shimmering magic like a moth to the flame.

Then, we died on their swords.

All of that changes the day the Veil shatters, unleashing the fae upon our world once again. The magic of faerie marks those of us they mean to take, but the Mist Guard protecting Nothrek will kill us all before they let the fae have us. There’s no choice but to flee everything I’ve ever known, not if I want to live to see my twenty-first birthday as a free woman.

Now, they’ll claim what’s theirs.

But before they capture me, Caelum saves me from the Wild Hunt. Fae-marked and on the run, he is able to fight back in ways I only dream of. From tentative alliance to all-consuming passion, our bond strengthens as the fae close in and evil lurks ever nearer. With my life on the line, he is everything I shouldn’t dare to want and a distraction I can’t afford. I can’t seem to stay away, not even with something greater on the line.

My heart.

Threw Me For a Loop

Not quite the level of SJM, but not total trash like some of the other fae books out there. The storyline has promise, but falls short. All the love connections and relationships are half baked. It all happens too fast without allowing us to get to the same feelings. The plot twist was too obvious for us and frustrating to see go way over the supposedly smart heroine’s head.

Mediocre

The breadcrumbs of foreshadowing (for me) were more like loaves of bread, all to say it was obvious what would happen. That said, I still enjoyed it. The narrator was phenomenal. The story itself is ok, but for sure the definition of a toxic relationship. I’m intrigued enough to listen when the second book comes out, but this one falls middle of the road for me.

The “breadcrumbs” were more like loaves

I love this book in general, the storyline, characters-everything. But I am very disappointed that there’s no male voices the part of Caelum. Most of the reason people listen to audio books is because the voice brings the character to life. It’s hard to envision that with only a female voicing the whole book.

Why no male narrator?

The way the main male character calls the main female character “little one” is a bit creepy. Otherwise, it’s a solid listen!

I really like it, but!

I loved everything about this heroine and morally gray MMC. I can’t wait to recommend this to every friend I know.

AMAZING!!!! Morally Gray MMC & Strong FMC

I usually love slow building romance, but this was pretty ridiculous. Without sharing the story, you know what the author is trying to surprise you with very early on. You almost want to smack the main character for not seeing it until the end. The story drug on for a LONG time, then all of a sudden it is tons of sex. Public sex…for no reason! I’m in no way a prude, but this just didn’t make any sense to the story. I won’t be finishing the series.

Very predictable and long

This was a ridiculously hackneyed sub female Dom male trope. I guessed the premise so early on and I was constantly rolling my eyes at the female protagonist’s actions. Little did I realize that you can get eye strain from an audiobook.

Eye rolling cringe

I loved the story. Hope the other two are just as good. Can’t wait to listen to the rest.

Loved this book

FINALY get a story where there is relatability to the characters and sex stuff. I liked it. Good job. :)

Felt relatable for all the wrong reasons.
