A demon attorney representing the water fae? Stranger things have happened. And things are about to get very, very strange as a bloodthirsty nightmare hunts the city of Harborsmouth.

There's blood in the water...kelpies have a reputation for eating humans. Unfortunately, kelpies are the clients. When an Unseelie faerie this evil stalks the waterways of your city, you have to make hard choices.

The lesser of two evils...

Reseñas de la Crítica

"I enjoyed it even more than my beloved Hollows series by Kim Harrison." ( The Keeper Shelf)

"Readers will love E.J.'s signature humorous writing, her kick-butt protagonist, and one heck of an unpredictable story." ( A Cupcake and a Latte)

"I absolutely love the creepies in this book. If you like strange creatures and quirky-oddball descriptions this is for you." ( Dizzy Izzy Book Reviews)

Enjoyable to the end!

The story drew me in from the first sentence and kept me riveted. It combines masterful storytelling, wonderful narration and thrilling adventure. Who could ask for more? I highly recommend this book!

loved it!

Traci Odem did an amazing job bringing these characters to life. I really enjoyed and look forward to listening to more in this series. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

Shadow Sight

The audiobook was provided by the author/narrator via audiobook boom for an honest review.

First the positives, the narration was great, Traci Odom did a fabulous job with the narration and the various character voices. The characters were interesting and in general I really liked Ivy and the premise of this first book.

My issues with the story are the info dumps that seem to take forever to convey and they don't seem to be in any particular order. Some are repetitive enough that I found my mind wandering while listening and at points I was like "just get on with it already"......I think if I had been reading it it would have been a DNF but the narration saved it. I'm not sure yet if I will continue with the series or not but book 2 will be a "make it or break it" for me.

Good listen

Different than my normal reads, but enjoyable. 3 good short reads. I listened to this on audio and enjoyed.

A solid start.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes. This is such an enjoyable read and a great introduction to the Ivy Granger series.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

The plot was sufficiently fast paced to keep me hooked and it really picked up the pace towards the end.

What about Traci Odom’s performance did you like?

Yes. She is such an awesome Ivy and knows how to grab the readers.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Ivy is so snarky that it's impossible not to snicker during the book, so yes, I had a good few laugh out loud moments.

Any additional comments?

Shadow sight introduces us to the snarky and kick ass heroine Ivy Granger. When she touches an object she can "read" that object. She doesn't know why or how she has the gift but she learns to deal with it. She opens her own Detective Agency and has the name to investigate the weird.
Ivy is such an awesome character and I loved her wit and sass. I can't wait to read more in this awesome world and look forward to the next book.
