À propos de cet audio
In the grimly captivating sequel to Anathema, Maevyth and Zevander must navigate the perilous mortal lands to deliver Zevander from the clutches of an ancient, malevolent power that threatens to shatter both worlds.
An eldritch magic has awakened, turning the mortal world darker. Colder. Famished. With flesh-eating monsters and a sinister curse spreading like a plague, the last glimmer of humanity in Foxglove Parish has long since faded.
For Maevyth and Zevander, the only chance of escape is through The Eating Woods. But fate has woven a new web, tangling the threads of destiny, and crossing the mystical boundary to Aethyria might not be so simple.
As the bones of Maevyth's past are unearthed, and truths unravel with unsettling clarity, the possibility of never leaving Mortasia is becoming more of a reality. Unfortunately for Zevander, time is running out. The longer he stays in the mortal lands, deprived of essential vivicantem, the more he succumbs to the encroaching specter of madness.
Or maybe those chasing shadows are someone hunting him. A wretched evil closing in, threatening to pull him into the darkest corners of his mind.
Only, this time, Maevyth may not have the power to save him.
Eldritch is a full-length, gothic dark fantasy, and the second book in The Eating Woods trilogy. Perfect for listeners who enjoy a plot-heavy and atmospheric story with a unique magic system, a slow-burn romance, and a touch of horror.
Contains mature content. A complete list of content warnings can be found on the author's website. Narrated in duet style.

Histoire260
There are whispers about what lurks in Witch Knell—the forest where sinners go to die. The villagers call it The Eating Woods because what's taken is never given back. Only those who've lost their senses would dare to go near it. Or the banished. Maevyth Bronwick knows better than to breach the misty labyrinth of trees, but a tragic turn of events compels her beyond the archway of bones to a boundary no mortal has crossed before. One that cloaks a dark and fantastical world that's as dangerous as it is alluring. It's there that he dwells, the cursed lord of Eidolon.

Half-Fae Elessia could have had everything. Literally. Since her magic allows her to compel anyone to do her bidding by merely looking into their eyes, the world was at her feet. But after a tragic accident, she is thrown into the Fae king's dungeons and forced to swear a blood oath to him, binding her to his service. Five years later, she's living amongst humans in Ellow and has created a life for herself—as much as she can with the king's promise to call in his debt looming over her.

The Great Hunt begins once every fifty years and only the Champions willing to face death to shatter the curse dare to enter. The Champions…and me. I’m no warrior, no swordsmith, and certainly no Fae, but the forest is my only hope. To enter those trees is to walk willingly to my demise. But I need the boon the forest will grant the winner and I’m willing to risk it all for a chance at claiming it. I just never expected to face him beneath those trees.

Even though she's not one of them, Brynn has spent her life among the Alaha, training to be a guard and waiting for the chance to attend the annual market hosted by the Kenta—the very same people who exiled her adopted community to a life at sea. Going to the market is a rite of passage eagerly anticipated by all young guards, but Brynn does not anticipate breaking a century-long peace treaty while there.

My father called them messengers. He once told me they walked among us and that somewhere in this dark and godless city, there shined a faint sliver of hope. I had only to look for the signs. Well, I’ve spent my whole life investigating the inexplicable and all I've found are the unsettling vestiges of iniquity—the evidence of another world shrouded by the obscure. Purgatory to some, where depravity hides in shadows, and girls like me are little more than delicious bites of temptation. Others call it Nightshade.

When I was a little girl, I dreamed a handsome knight would come and rescue me from my wretched mother. He'd ride up on his white steed and break the curse I've been fated to carry since the day I was born. Funny how things changed over time, how the fairytale twisted into something far more crooked—and darker—than I ever imagined. In reality, my knight is scarred and broken, living alone in a castle of bones that overlooks the sea. He isn’t searching for me. He never was.

Devram was created. A realm hidden amongst the stars. The gods gave their Legacy the best of all the worlds, and then they left, a sworn agreement to never return and to never interfere.

Audiobook 🎧📚 - God Tier AMAZING Performance 10/10 would recommend.
I went into Eldritch knowing it leaned heavily on alternating flashbacks, which is usually something I struggle with, but Keri Lake made it work in a way I didn’t expect. Instead of feeling disruptive, Zevander’s past felt essential. Each return to it added weight to the present, gradually building a fuller understanding of who he is and why he carries so much of what he does. The timelines were intricately woven, and for the most part, I found myself fully pulled into both.
What stood out most to me in this installment was the writing itself. There’s a lyrical quality to Keri’s prose that creates vivid, almost tangible imagery, while still delivering emotional moments with precision. The relationship between Maevyth and Zevander felt especially well handled. It developed at a pace that felt natural and earned, and there was a depth to their connection that made their quieter moments just as impactful as the more intense ones. Zevander’s longing, in particular, lingered throughout the story in a way that was hard to ignore.
Keri continues to excel at writing villains. The General is one of those characters you genuinely love to hate, and I found myself increasingly invested in seeing how her arc will ultimately unfold. This book also balanced its reveals well. Some answers were satisfying, while others opened the door to new questions that kept me thinking even after I finished.
That said, there were moments where the pacing felt uneven. While many of the flashbacks were impactful, a few leaned into feeling excessive and slowed the progression of the main plot. At the same time, certain present-day moments felt rushed when they could have benefited from more space. I also found myself occasionally confused by aspects of the lore, character connections, and shifts between timelines. And while the side characters we did see were strong, I did miss some of the presence from book one. Aleysia’s role also continues to be something I haven’t fully settled on.
The emotional arcs, however, were deeply satisfying. Watching Zevander learn to accept love and Maevyth begin to challenge her own perceptions of herself added a layer of growth that made their journey feel meaningful. The spice felt appropriate for the story being told and the weight of Zevander’s past, though I wouldn’t be opposed to seeing that aspect pushed a bit further in the next book.
The ending left things in a place that feels deliberately painful. It’s the kind of cliffhanger that lingers, and so long as this is building toward a trilogy, I think book three has the potential to be the strongest of them all.
⚠️ Spoilers Moving Forward. Stop here if you haven’t finished the book ⚠️

⚠️ Spoilers ⚠️
I did struggle with a few key moments. Zevander’s reveal of their mate status didn’t carry the emotional impact I was expecting, and Maevyth’s reaction to learning about Zevander’s role as her angel felt a little uncalled for and calloused. There’s also still some ambiguity around the extent of their blood bond from the end that I hope gets clarified.
I’m very much hoping we get a true bonding scene moving forward (perhaps during a Moon Cycle?!), along with a deeper exploration of their connection. And while I understand the restraint so far, I’d love to see the tension, both emotional and physical, pushed further.
The General has quickly become one of my most disliked villains - ever, and I’m especially anticipating the moment Zevander fully realizes what’s been done. That confrontation feels like it has the potential to be one of the most powerful moments in the series.
And finally, I’m more than ready to see the enchantments and curses begin to unravel and the spiders to cease to exist 🤢
So looking forward to book 3 💕
