Revenge de los Muertos [Revenge of the Dead]

Fifth Sun, Book 1

De: Talis Jones

Narrado por: Jacclyn James, Pablo Azar

Selah’s biggest dilemma was trying to decide what to study in college. That is, until she stumbled across a clue to the grandparents she’d never met and hopped on a plane to Mexico where she would discover an entire hidden world of magic and monsters. Her best friend was a bruja, the Chupacabra was more than a myth, and she’d inadvertently caught the attention of the terrifying Blood King with golden eyes. What started as a two-week vacation quickly devolved into an adventure she might never return from.

Día de los Muertos had almost arrived and the monsters were on the hunt.

Unique UF series set in Mexico!

First off, I had already read the book and loved it, so I was really excited when I heard it was coming to audiobook. Especially when I saw Nichole James was one of the narrators. She has such a great voice for narrating.

This is a unique UF novel set in Mexico. I love the non-traditional setting (for UF). And I loved the folklore and mythology that are woven into this tale. Also, the descriptions of the local food and desserts make me hungry!

What I love the most is the slowburn romance between the two main characters, Rafael and Selah. Rafael is one of my favorite book boyfriends ever, and his quiet, kind consideration of Selah is heartwarming. They're both excellent main characters.

The story is great fun, and the narrators definitely bring it to life. Highly recommend audiobook!
