About this listen

 MacKayla Lane's life is good. She has great friends, a decent job, and a car that breaks down only every other week or so. In other words, she's your perfectly ordinary 21st-century woman.

Or so she thinks...until something extraordinary happens.

When her sister is murdered, leaving a single clue to her death - a cryptic message on Mac's cell phone - Mac journeys to Ireland in search of answers.

The quest to find her sister's killer draws her into a shadowy realm where nothing is as it seems, where good and evil wear the same treacherously seductive mask. She is soon faced with an even greater challenge: staying alive long enough to learn how to handle a power she had no idea she possessed - a gift that allows her to see beyond the world of man, into the dangerous realm of the Fae.

As Mac delves deeper into the mystery of her sister's death, her every move is shadowed by the dark, mysterious Jericho, a man with no past and only mockery for a future. As she begins to close in on the truth, the ruthless Vlane - an alpha Fae who makes sex an addiction for human women - closes in on her. And as the boundary between worlds begins to crumble, Mac's true mission becomes clear: find the elusive Sinsar Dubh before someone else claims the all-powerful Dark Book - because whoever gets to it first holds nothing less than complete control of the very fabric of both worlds.

The world pulls you in and you want to know more. The performance was great.

Well done and brilliant world

This is I’m a top position of my favourite series. I’ve read the series a few times. And bought the audio when I wanted to do a re-read.

If you can get past the narration, the story is so good. I’d love to see this redone with better narration.

I love this series honestly. KMM does an amazing job of adding twists and turns, I was delighted to find that this is a series that gave me genuine surprises and I didn't know what was happening next. it gave me real feelings, I definitely had a good cry a few times.

Excellent world building, love the twist and turns

Really enjoyed the story. The narration to me ruins it a little bit. I found that Jericho’s voice sounded a lot like what I would imagine a Leprechaun and not how he is described.

Great story

I've seen a couple reviews that said to read the book and not listen to the audiobook, and I agree. I had to struggle through this first book while listening to it. The narration really bothered me and took away from the story. I also kind of hated the main character Mackayla at first.

However, I am happy that I struggled through it because the story is amazing. I saw this book recommendation on TikTok and was skeptical, but it is really worth it. By book 4 the narrator was changed so if you don't have time to read the books and would rather listen, there is a change in the performer coming. I'm sorry to the narrator, but it really ruined a Georgia accent for me.

Great story - Unfortunate audiobook narration

I slightly struggled with this book, but you can tell it is setting up the rest of the series. I will continue the series.

Building up.

Not a lot of romance elements but intriguing enough to read the next in the series.

Intriguing series

Loved the story, I’ve read this before, and the plot is great, pulls you in, but the narration of Barron’s made him sound like a small leprechaun, not a big, good looking, hulking guy.

Well written, narration wasn’t quite on par
