"Maya Saroya gives an expressive performance in this thrilling historical fantasy filled with vampires, action, romance, and tea."—AudioFile on A Tempest of Tea

From the New York Times-bestselling author of We Hunt the Flame comes the first audiobook in a hotly anticipated fantasy duology teeming with romance and revenge, led by an orphan girl willing to do whatever it takes to save her self-made kingdom.

On the streets of White Roaring, Arthie Casimir is a criminal mastermind and collector of secrets. Her prestigious tearoom transforms into an illegal bloodhouse by night, catering to the vampires feared by society. But when her establishment is threatened, Arthie is forced to strike an unlikely deal with an alluring adversary to save it—she can’t do the job alone.

Calling on some of the city’s most skilled outcasts, Arthie hatches a plan to infiltrate the sinister, glittering vampire society known as the Athereum. But not everyone in her ragtag crew is on her side, and as the truth behind the heist unfolds, Arthie finds herself in the midst of a conspiracy that will threaten the world as she knows it. Dark, action-packed, and swoonworthy, this is Hafsah Faizal better than ever.

I love the tea representation

A vampire heist book with tea and pastries. What more could you want? A fun listen.

Loved It

Good plot and characters. Can't wait for the 2nd book. I need it very soon

loved everything!

such a wonderful book. I enjoyed it so much. I can't wait for the second one!😍

Cant believe

😞 the last act was so good!! Am not going to ruin it. But it sucks I cant wait for book 2! Got to say love the name of the tea shop! Also love where it took place too! I enjoy this book by listening to this!

One of the best books ever

Ugh I can’t even tell you how much I enjoy Hafsah’s writing. Her characters are so deep and enjoyable, so realistic, you feel like you’re part of their story. This book had a great place and a GREAT twist. Best enjoyed with a nice streusel and cuppa. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Okay story, awful audio

The audio is AWFUL. The narrator reads in a near monotone voice, lacking a change in inflection and tone for different characters and scenes. I could not tell which character was speaking or if it was the third person narrator. During scenes of action I expect a tempo change, but there were none.

I enjoyed this book but I didn’t love it. The simplicity of the story makes it a teen book, or what YA used to be. The plot, world building, and depth of characters just brushes the surface. Nothing is truly flushed out.

The author states she is a “pantser” and it shows. There are timelines that don’t match up and some holes in the world building.

Couldn’t finish it

The narrator was so disappointing I didn’t finish the audiobook. I couldn’t keep what characters chapter I was reading straight and kept having to restart them thinking it was the story that was letting me down but it wasn’t. The narrator didn’t change tone, inflection, character style, or pacing. It almost ruined it. I would have returned the audiobook if I hadn’t gone too far. I suggest just reading this one.

the characters

I really love the world & all the characters! funny, charming, intense . so great!!

Great story, wish it was longer!

I loved all the characters and world building. I just wish it would have been longer so that the ending didn't feel as rushed. Can't wait for book #2!

Disappointed

I’m not sure what I expected to happen but the ending was just not it.
