Neverthorn

Of Quirks and Curses, Book 1

De: Shannon Mayer

Narrado por: Nicole Poole, Aiden Snow

In a realm where magic reigns, a legendary Hero once stood against the encroaching darkness. But with his death, hope dwindled, and the best the world can muster is Harlow Daygon—a thief, magic school dropout, and notorious troublemaker.

At nearly thirty, Harlow can't even cast a simple rune without blundering it. So why does anyone think she can take up the mantle of Hero? Reluctantly, she's dragged back to Neverthorn Academy with seven former classmates, tasked with training to confront and defeat the Villain of their world.

But the challenges are stacked against her: Professor Hot-as-Sin makes it clear she's a failure. Professor Used-to-Be-a-Mean-Girl has a vendetta. And lurking in her past is a secret so dark it could reveal she's not the Hero the world needs—but the next Villain.

With fate hanging in the balance, can Harlow embrace her destiny before the shadows claim her?

Narrated in duet style.

Story

I have to start off by saying I absolutely adored Harlow as the FMC. She’s fiery, bold, and never afraid to speak her mind, while still being deeply caring and loyal to the people around her. That balance made her such a compelling character to follow and enjoy the book.

The plot was plotting, with a fast-paced, intense storyline full of high-stakes moments that kept me turning the pages. Just when I thought I had things figured out, the ending threw a twist I did not see coming. Now I’m dying for the next book.

Great book! The characters grow as you listen with grit and determination! Enough suspense to keep you guessing and of course the longing for a forbidden romance. I cannot wait for the 2nd book.
