Court of Shadows

De: Madeleine Roux

Narrado por: Billie Fulford-Brown

From the New York Times bestselling author of Asylum comes the second book in a creepy fantasy series that Publishers Weekly praised as “darkly delightful.” Perfect for fans of Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children.

After the frightful events of last autumn, seventeen-year-old Louisa Ditton has settled into her role as a maid at Coldthistle House, a place of distortions and lies, but she has not settled into what that means for her humanity.

As Louisa struggles to figure out whether she is worthy of redemption, the devilish Mr. Morningside plans a fete—one that will bring new guests to Coldthistle House. From wicked humans to Upworlders, angelic beings who look down on Mr. Morningside’s monstrous staff, all are armed with their own brand of self-righteous justice.

Even a man claiming to be Louisa’s father has a role to play, though what his true motive is, Louisa cannot tell. The conflicts will eventually come to a head on the grounds of Coldthistle House—and the stakes include Louisa’s very soul.

In this second book of Madeleine Roux’s suspenseful House of Furies series, readers confront a twisted world where the line between monsters and men is ghostly thin.

“Takes the reader on a twisting path down a dark hall we’re compelled to travel, no matter what is behind the door at the end. Darkly captivating.” —Mindy McGinnis, Edgar Award-winning author of A Madness So Discreet, on House of Furies

Loved it!

Love it! The story and narration are perfect together! I will listen again and

Delightful and Unexpected!

I am absolutely smitten with all of the characters and plot points in this book. Well worth the read!

fun read

I enjoyed the voices and the accent was beautiful to listen too.
The story was fast paced and thrilling. can't wait to see how the series ends.

Scary Mom

Interesting storyline with many likeable characters. I kept hoping for a character with some background knowledge, but the group worked it out.

Yet another disappointment

I am disappointed with the way this story was so poorly written. It is as if there is a book and a journal written inside this book and the author couldn’t figure out which story the author actually wanted to write. The choppiness of all three stories make reading and listening to this story damn near impossible. I feel sorry for the poor female narrator who was stuck attempting to give this story life. Major fail by Madeleine Roux here.
