Blind Tiger

The Pride, Book 1

De: Jordan L. Hawk

Narrado por: Greg Tremblay

1924, Chicago. Prohibition is in full swing and gang bosses rule the city with might - and magic.

When Sam Cunningham flees his small-town life to try his luck in the big city of Chicago, he quickly finds himself in over his head in a world of gangs, glitz, and glamour. Fortunately, he has his cousin Eldon to teach him the trade of hex-making.

Everything changes the night Sam visits The Pride speakeasy and meets grumpy cheetah-shifter Alistair Gatti. After losing his first witch to the horrors of the World War, Alistair isn’t interested in any new entanglements, romantic or magical. Especially when said entanglement comes in the form of kind, innocent Sam.

When Eldon is brutally murdered, Sam becomes drawn into the dark underworld of the Chicago gangs. Sam must find the missing hex Eldon created for one of the crime bosses - before whoever killed Eldon comes back for him.

Together, Alistair and Sam begin the search for the mysterious hex, diving deep into the seedy side of Chicago’s underworld while dodging rival gangs. And as they come to rely on one another, Alistair realizes he’s falling for the one man he can’t afford to love.

Excellent performance, well written characters, good plot twist

Greg Tremblay knocks it out of the park as usual narrating this well written prohibition era tale of a young man new to Chicago getting tangled in magic and romance.

Most excellent adventure

From beginning to end in one sitting and never regretted a single moment. Cannot wait to see what the next installment of this series looks like.

The best book so far.

I’m a huge fan of this author and the Hexworld books. This book Ives forward in time to the 1920s and it’s my favorite of the series so far. I loved all the characters especially Sam. I also loved seeing the way that familiars lives have changed as they’ve gained more rights. I really enjoyed listening to this book and I hope there will be more to come.

What are you waiting for? Hit that button!

Love this author. Love this world that's been created and described so well. Love Greg Tremblay's voice(s!) and could listen for hours.
