À propos de cet audio

No one creates realms like New York Times best-selling author Anne Bishop. Now in a thrilling new fantasy series, enter a world inhabited by the Others, unearthly entities - vampires and shape-shifters among them - who rule the Earth and whose prey are humans.

As a cassandra sangue, or blood prophet, Meg Corbyn can see the future when her skin is cut - a gift that feels more like a curse. Meg's Controller keeps her enslaved so he can have full access to her visions. But when she escapes, the only safe place Meg can hide is at the Lakeside Courtyard - a business district operated by the Others.

Shape-shifter Simon Wolfgard is reluctant to hire the stranger who inquires about the Human Liaison job. First, he senses she's keeping a secret, and second, she doesn't smell like human prey. Yet a stronger instinct propels him to give Meg the job. And when he learns the truth about Meg and that she's wanted by the government, he'll have to decide if she's worth the fight between humans and the Others that will surely follow.

I honestly absolutely love this book was so glad it was on here as I can no longer get the first two from the library as their "too old" and no longer carry them, and wanting to re-read them I was glad to at least have this option despite rather having a physical book in hand to read. the only negative I have for it is that I wish the narrator had more range in her voice to differentiate the characters better and to better depict the characters, also she has such a soft voice that at it made me sleepy... and I still have the second one to listen to 😅 other then that it was wonderful.

Love this series

Anne Bishop gives an entirely different view of shifters and vampires in this series and makes you wonder what a wolf becoming human would be like. She teaches tolerance of differences in an entertaining way and you can’t help but feel for the characters. The readers voice is pleasant and she pronounces some names differently than I did when reading the books, but does a good job.

Loved this story about coexistence and conflict between humans and supernatural creatures [enough to overlook plot holes and a helpless heroine]. I became invested in the characters, and enjoyed the parallels with our real world. The narrator is fantastic and has just the right tone and inflection for each character. I recommend it for a unique twist on werewolf, vampire, and psychic tales. Note: There is violence, but no sex in this story.

Got hooked on the series

Fantastic start of this series, highly recommend. Great world building and fascinating characters. No sexual scenes, just really great urban fantasy!

One of the best series starters I've ever read.

An enjoyable read. Good narrator. Fun characters. And the book had some decent tension running through it.

Amazing Story

The only reason this doesn't get 5 stars for story is because Anne Bishop's villains in this book (and frankly in all of her books) are very predictable. But honestly that's half the fun---it's nice to know who the bad guys are and feel really good when they get stomped. You still REALLY care about the characters and want them to thrive.

Likewise the narration is excellent... Alexandra Harris nails the character voices and emotion like a freaking champion. Buttt in all honesty her sentence reading is sometimes a little stilted, like maybe she didn't read the whole sentence before starting it so there are pauses and odd inflections.

But she still really brings these characters to life. I was riveted and found myself struggling to turn it off because it was so engaging. Definitely recommend!!

Great story, great narrator

18 hours. At east twice as long as it should have been. At hour 7 i was wondering when it would get interesting. Had to bump up the playback speed just to hopefully get to the good part, but it never got good. Fail. I’ll be returning this one.

So slow!
