Distant Light, A Reverse Harem Romance

Tales from the Edge Series, Book 1

De: Chloe Adler

Narrado por: Alexander Cendese, Carly Robins

Iphigenia Holt is a good little witch who grew up under the thumb of a wicked mother and two powerful sisters. Pegged as a caretaker, Iphi hides a secret that would change the way everyone around her views her: she's an empath. And yet she doesn't let that stand in her way. A soaring circus performer with a fierce love for animals and the downtrodden, Iphi tumbles her way through life, hiding the hurt just being around others can inflict...until she meets an enigmatic vampire and his three hot shapeshifting cousins.

Drawn to the brightness she shines into their lives, each man promises to transport Iphi from the monotony of her life into a world truly filled with magic. They offer her love, protection - and an unconventional arrangement that will make her the scandal of Distant Edge. But when a rogue vampire attacks Iphi, it's time for the men to step up and for Iphi to fight back the only way she knows how: with love, compassion, and her inner radiance. If love can't conquer evil, her four protectors are more than willing to bare tooth and claw at her side - whether she'll have them or not.

Contains mature themes.

Good, but some funny voices

When the guy does the heroine's voices and the female does some of the heroes, some of the voices are nasally and dopey sounding. Not the worst but sounds funny. The story is interesting, but it drags a bit. I am not feeling it with the guys, and I wish they hadn't jumped into bed so fast. I don't know if I will continue, though I think aspects of the story are interesting.

loved it so much

i love this audio it was so good and it made me feel like i was part of the book even though i was just listening to it i still liked it and loved it. i couldnt put down my kindle while i was listening to this audio and i want to see what happens in the other books but the audio book is so good and others should listen to it or read it

Cliffhanger Ending!

I enjoyed this book about the sweet innocent Iphigenia or Iphi for short. She lives at home with her mother a truly horrible, demanding, controlling and selfish witch, no she really is a witch, who has driven her two older daughters away and makes Iphi's life very difficult. Iphi is a witch in a world full of other supernaturals, such as shifters and vampires, that somehow coexist with humans in the town of The Edge. She has many talents apart from being an incredibly strong and talented ariel artist in the circus she is a very strong empath.

The grandson of her mother's lover, Reese, meets Iphi when he helps his grandfather move in. He lives in a place called the Grove with his three cousins, they are all involved in some way with the local police department. Their reason for moving to The Edge was to find out what has happened to Reese's brother Nolan, for this they need Iphi's help.

During the course of this book, Iphi comes into her own as a woman and begins to see just how much she has allowed her mother to control her life. She develops feeling for all four of the men living in the Grove and when things come to a head and her safety is threatened she moves into one of the tiny houses there.

I can't really tell you anymore with giving away too many spoilers but what I will say is that in this first book of this series Iphi takes two of the men as her lovers but has strong feelings for the other two - what is going to happen next I wonder?

There are a lot of questions left hanging at the end of this book, but we did know going in that there would be so that's OK, I just need to wait now for the next book to be released.

I do own and have read the ebook of this book but I wanted to listen to it too as personally, I get more out of an audiobook, so when I was given a copy of this book as I gift I was thrilled. The audio version did not disappoint it is narrated beautifully by Alexander Cendese and Carly Robins who bring just the right feel to the story.

This review is written voluntarily.

On point

Everything in this book sings to me. Good story. Plausible setup for all the men. Great character development. Incredible, descriptive sex.
Is too short. But hopefully whole series flows as though 1 book.

WoW ! Supernatural + Intrigue + Sizzle

When I read a description that included all my hot buttons, I had to dive in to my first book written by this author. I was not disappointed! Never have I read a mystery that is so well blended with the psychology of relationships, a diversity of supernatural beings (some totally new to me), and steamy hot erotica that delivers on its own level! Chloe Adler really knows how to spin a tale that is smart, sexy, and leaves you wanting more. I just downloaded Book 2 and plan to follow this series to all the possible places it can take me!!
