Story
Neve Blackthorne, head of one of the most successful Studios in Hollywood, is the one to rule them all. Powerful, beautiful, and aloof, she's ruthless, yet irresistible. Above all, she has an unquenchable survival instinct. Surely a fleeting entanglement with one Audrey Avens, a bright, young, rising star in her company, won't bring down the Wicked Queen of Tinseltown. Or will it? Neve's public persona has no chink in the untouchable armor, but when the lights go out and the cameras stop rolling, what becomes of an Ice Queen whose heart is ruled by love and fear?

Story
Ellie Fisher loves most things about being a nurse in the emergency department . . . just not working with Regina Novak, an icy attending physician who acts as if she's God's gift to medicine. The dislike is completely mutual. Regina thinks Ellie is a starry-eyed romantic with a sentimental attitude that has no place at work. When Regina gets talked into volunteering at a singles auction, Ellie accidentally bids on her—and ends up winning. Oops! Since the money raised is for a good cause, they reluctantly decide to go through with the dates.

Devon’s first priority is her five-year-old son, but getting to know Sadie all over again is taking up more and more of her headspace. Sadie is inexplicably drawn to Devon. It could be nostalgia.

Enthralling
A sleepless night though I could not stop listening.
Holy Shit Abby Craden!
Holy Shit Milena McKay!
Finally Holy Fucking Hell Magdalene Fucking Nox!
I dragged my feet with the purchase of this audiobook, convinced that I was making a mistake.
Jesus was I wrong! The Headmistress was nothing that I expected yet absolutely everything I needed.
I am still processing what I could possibly say to give this book, author and narrator justice.
I just want to push past my exhaustion and listen to this audiobook immediately. To become lost again within their story and the of voice of Magdalene Fucking Nox!

Great storyline, relatable character, good mix of funny and serious. I'll have to check out other books by McKay now. The narration puts a bow on top of everything, Abby Craden can read the phonebook and make it sound interesting.

Loved it!
This audiobook was phenomenal. Abby Craden, as always, is the queen of Sapphic narration with perfect voices, inflection, emotion, all of it! I always know when I’m picking an audiobook that it’s a winner if Abby read it (even if the book sucks, I’d pay just to listen to her voice for 8+ hours…Can I get an amen, ladies?? Has anyone else listened to her 6 minutes of the phonebook narration?!)
The story itself was fantastic! The characters were well-developed and all very likable. I loved the not-so-icy ice queen and the sweet, geeky math nerd! The romance was well-paced and steamy as hell (queue sizzling sound effects), with plenty of tension and plenty of gratification, but also very solid emotional development, and a satisfying conclusion.
I knew there was also a mystery genre tag on this book, but I didn’t honestly know what to expect going into it. I was pleasantly surprised by the mysterious side arc that kept me guessing and coincided neatly with the main romantic plot to heighten the tension and suspense throughout, and ultimately result in a twisty and unexpected ending!
The writing style was superb – elegant and unblemished. This is my first book by McKay and will certainly not be my last! It’s high praise from me that, despite being written from a single perspective, I didn’t feel that I missed the other MCs perspective as I often do; a feat achieved through beautiful descriptions of body language and facial expressions along with well-written dialogue and banter.
A solid 5 stars for me. 110% recommend the audio version - this is one of those instances where the story’s greatness is absolutely amplified by phenomenal narration!

A must listen, wonderful performance and story
Performance: 4.99 ⭐️
Story: 4.5 ⭐️
I was shocked at first hearing Magdalene’s voice (I wasn’t a fan, waaaay too raspy) but I gave it another chance and fell in love! The narrator found her groove as the book went on. Her voice brings the story to life.
As for the story, there were a few moments that I cringed at but besides that, the novel is entertaining, thrilling, and beautifully written.
If you’re on the fence, definitely make the jump. Do not skip this audiobook!
