Resumen del Editor

One prince. One witch. One fate.

The upheaval in my life began the moment a prince stumbled into my house and asked me to read his fortune. Any other night, I might have made an excuse to get him to leave, but this was no normal visit. My fingers prickled to touch him. So, I granted his request by handing him a single wishbone. When he snapped it, the wish...bled.

Hearing me suck in a shocked breath, he asked what it meant. Such an ominous omen could only mean one thing: His death was imminent. Fate revealed that he wouldn’t die of natural causes. Someone wanted him dead. Stunned by the revelation, the man I now knew as Prince Tauren disappeared into a night I feared he wouldn’t survive.

The following day, I received an invitation to the castle. While it seemed the prince believed I could intervene and uncover who was plotting his death, his motives didn’t stop there. I was being summoned to join 12 other women in vying for the opportunity to be his wife and future queen. Going could mean jeopardizing my plans to reclaim my heritage and resurrect the House of Fate. But staying would guarantee Tauren’s death, and the blood of his wish would be on my hands.

When Wishes Bleed is a young adult fantasy romance perfect for fans of Adrienne Young, Cora Carmack, and Kiera Cass.

Juvenile but fun listen

This book even though is part of the series can be read as a standalone. The story is something akin Selection series. I found narrators voice for male characters was no great. The handsome prince sounded like an old man on his deathbed.

Overall I enjoyed this listen. The story wasn’t boring at any point and I was able to finish it in a day!

Good story

It was a good story but the narration left much to be desired. Her male voices were scratchy and pitchy.

review

story line good..narrator not so good. all her male characters had the same weak voice. they sounded like old men instead of young men

I just loved it...

Nothing gets to me, like a well written creative story. Well done to the author, I can’t wait to read more of your work.

fun story

This is a fun book about a shunned witch capturing the heart of a human prince. I loved the characters and had fun with the story. The story ends so you don't have to read the sequel, but can learn more if desired.

Starts slow, but so worth the wait!

The first chapter made me thinking I had made a mistake and wouldn’t be able to get into this book, but by the 3rd chapter it picked up tremendously and I was hooked! The author uses such creativity and imagination in telling this story. I didn’t love the narrator’s voice when she was protesting other characters, but I was able to ignore that and enjoy the story! I will definitely be reading the next book!

Good but..

The story is fantastic. I'm struggling with the narrator though. Not a great narrator.

It’s pretty good.

I like the book so far. But Brekon is a nice guy. You’ve been warned.

good story, narrator ok

I really enjoyed the story, But I agree with past reviews that the narrator didn't do well with the male voices, they all sounded the same which was like a raspy Troll

Okay

The story was okay. I really disliked the fact that they meet and they instantly fall in love, even though nothing happens and they don’t know eachother. The male voices weren’t pleasant and sounded the same. But the story in itself was entartaining, I won’t be listening to next book tho.
