Publisher's Summary

My coven has remained hidden in the shadows for centuries.

We’ve avoided the ‘real world’ altogether - hiding from monsters and other creatures we share this planet with.

We found protection in the Colville National Forest, nestled in a town protected by magical barriers.

Our powers are locked by an ancient curse, one meant to protect us from being found.

Until now.

The past has a way of repeating itself. A new game is beginning. No one is safe.

He’s coming for me.

He’s hunting.

The monster we’ve run from for centuries has found us.

How far will this deadly game go?

How far will I be able to take it, or will he destroy me and everything I care about?

Will the one thing I can’t live without be the key to destroying and undoing the past?

Or will the past destroy me before I can save the people I love from what I’ve done?

Warning: Intended for listeners 18 and older.

About the hero: Chances are you may not fall instantly in love with him, that’s because I don’t write men you instantly love; you grow to love them. I don’t believe in instant love. I write flawed, raw, caveman-like assholes who eventually let you see their redeeming qualities. They are aggressive, assholes, and one step above a caveman when we meet them. You may not even like him by the time you finish this audiobook, but I promise you will love him by the end of this series.

About the heroine: There is a chance that you might think she’s a bit naïve, or weak, but then again who starts out as a badass?

Badasses are a product of growth and I am going to put her through hell, and you get to watch her come up swinging every time I knock her on her ass. That’s just how I do things. How she reacts to the set of circumstances she is put through may not be how you, as the listener, or I, as the author, would react to that same situation. Everyone reacts differently to circumstances and how Magdalena responds to her challenges is how I see her as a character and as a person. I don’t write love stories: I write fast-paced, knock you down, make you sit on the edge of your seat wondering what happens next books. If you’re looking for cookie-cutter romance, this isn’t for you. If you can’t handle the ride, unbuckle your seat belt and get out of the roller-coaster car now. If not, you’ve been warned. If nothing outlined above bothers you, carry on and enjoy the ride!

Love the story

Hate the narration. Lucian’s voice should be in the males voice and the female narration is horrible but I put up with it cause I love Lucian’s voice.

good but a pretty slow start

for me the first 10 or so chapters felt slow and to drag on but once you get past that it's good. I loved the Fae Chronicle series and decided to listen to this one and besides the slow start I am loving it.

delicious read, loved it!!!

my first book by this author, and it won't be my last, fantastic fantasy storyline, I'm going to buy the second book right now, I have to find out how this story ends, I hardly read or use audiobooks right through, but this one I did, there are a lot of secondary stories which I loved, the world this author has created is amazing, the narrators were perfect for this book, it's a five star book!! and well worth the credit 💕

sexy story

I really loved this series , it's very dark and sexy if you like that kinda thing (which I do). They need to get the3rd book up as I had to read it on my kindle since audible doesn't have it yet.
I would love to see more Amelia Hutchin's books on Audible.
Great performance especially from Aiden Snow, he really nails the dark character of Lucien and sounds hot as hell.

Draws you in from the first sentence.

You don’t just inhale this story, you devour it. Toe curling fun. Amelia keeps you coming back for more.

Awful Novel

Let's start with how terrible the writing is. Well, it's awful. This isn't unexpected as most writing in this genre is terrible. Very few will written ones. The storyline is decent, but the execution fails on epic levels. Some of the descriptive words just make you cringe. Not the feeling you want when reading this type of book.

The narration makes an already bad book even worse. There was no need whatsoever for the male narrator. It just made the book awkward. I wish they would stop doing duel narrators. They never flow seamlessly. The male narrator was fine for the few lines he had. The female narrator wasn't great at all. Very little voice inflection, even with inflection she still sounds monotone. The only way to describe her narrating style is lazy. Her words sound lazy.

Save you credit for a different book.
