Resumen del Editor

When the invitation to the Gloaming arrives, Lexi can’t believe that she, a half-vampire, has been invited to enter the dark fae realm.

Her first trip to a Shadow Realm isn’t one she’ll soon forget once she meets Cole, a dark fae prince.

Fresh from the war that ravaged the mortal realm and devastated his family, Cole is struggling to piece his life back together when he encounters Lexi. He has always identified more with his dark fae side, but when her presence awakens the lycan part of him, Cole is unable to resist his attraction to her.

When the hostile tension between the different immortals erupts, Lexi flees the Gloaming for the mortal realm. Once home, she’s certain she’ll never see Cole again. She’s proven wrong when tragedy strikes. Lexi is unable to turn Cole away...even if helping him puts her in danger.

Can their growing love survive the cruelty of the Shadow Realms, or will they be the next to fall?

Enter the Shadow Realms. A world where vampires feast, lycans love deeply, dark fae seduce, witches cast their spells, dragons rule the skies...and treachery lurks around every corner.

Due to sexual content, violence, and language, this book is recommended for listeners 18 years of age and older.

Good Story

Performance was ok, slow the voice down it's better. Nice fantasy beings, familiar but different story.

A solid 4

First and foremost, my bar for Fae stories and high fantasy is incredibly high, and I'm often left disappointed, so a 4 is a pretty decent rating. If I had rated it midway through the book, it probably would have been 2 or 3 but a lot important details that tie the story together and bring more dimension to the characters comes towards the end. I will be listening to the next story when it was released because I want to know what happens next.

The narrator did a great job, but the somewhat strange POV volley that happens through the story really warrants a male narrator as well so that you can keep track of whose eyes you're seeing the story through from moment to moment.

Amazing!!

What an amazing start to a new adventure!!! the shawdow realm will have you refusing to come but to the human realm for sure!! cant wait for more cole and Lexi's story

Amazing narrator and story

One of my favorite series and absolutely loved the narrator. She did a wonderful job bribing me into the story. Loved it

Dark and fun

Great narration, thank god. I’ve had to stop listening to books because of narration alone. Great story, dark and violet at times, but nothing to over the top to deter from the story. Cole is a true morally grey character in my view. Lexi is meh SO FAR. Kind of damsel in distress but hoping she gets more badass as the series goes on.

Loved

Great start to the series, So far I have really enjoyed it. Can’t wait to start the next book.

Good overall

Good story overall. Did drag some but had some new twists on supernaturals ( mixed species that retain half of each), Faye that absorb sexual energy for food, dragons that are controlled by a master, etc.. the two sex scenes are more PG or maybe R instead of MA ( which is fine). The end was when it started getting good and then it was over just as quickly. Glad next book is available, I hate cliff hangers!

Really good!

Didn't think I was going to like this one in the beginning, but I always try to give every book 2 hours. Ended up loving the book. I loved the world building and character building. I loved the slow burn romance between the two mc's. Loved the narrator. Can't wait to listen to the next book in the series.

Interesting paranormal world

The paranormal world was interesting and could easily be built upon for good story lines. And the romance scenes were spicy. But the story didn’t move very far and parts of it were not well written. I did want to finish it but I will not be listening to the next one.

unbelievable

After listening to most of BKD series of books I thought I'd give this series a go. & OMG I'm so so glad I did!! i started it around lunch time & I ended up just finishing the audiobook 9 straight hours later. I have never listened to an audiobook that long in one day but I literally could NOT take my earbuds out! i even rejected calls, it is THAT good!!! it's absolutely phenomenal. The characters are so interesting as is the unique unraveling of this brilliantly structured story line!!!!. i can't wait to start book #2 of The Shadow Realm series & even tho it's way past my bedtime I'm about to Start book #2 this instant!!!! ...in most of BKD books it mentions some supernaturals being "blood thirsty, " well I'm most definitely "shadow realm, " thirsty!! Well done BKD on another brilliant novel! As for the Narrator, Meg Price- what an excellent job she did! her acting really made the whole listen more enjoyable by enabling it to REALLY come alive in my minds eye.... ⭐️5 stars all the way around ...hands down!!! ✌🏼 ❤️ 😍 💖 🌟 🤩 ⭐️ 🌠 💫
