Magic. Monsters. War.

A woman's journey to find herself as she discovers secrets of the past.

When thirty-two-year-old Ava Winslow inherits a flower farm from her late grandfather's estate, she's determined to uncover the secrets she knew her family was hiding.

As she draws closer to the truth, the last thing she expects to find is a portal hidden on the property leading to another world. Desperate to learn what her mother never revealed before her death, Ava is thrust into a magical land of fae on the brink of war.

Alone again in a world unfamiliar to her and plagued by the grief that followed her there, she must make a life-altering decision: does she try to find her way back to the farm? Or, does she embrace adventures she only ever dreamt of, and follow a new path that might feel more like home than anywhere ever has?

Dual narration worked very well

Can’t wait for the next book to be recorded! I hope they get the same voice actors for the next one

Surprisingly exceptional

This was a great story and hooked me from the very beginning. The elements of animals working side by side with the fae was an unexpected exciting twist. I cannot wait to continue the series and see where all the relationships go.

Loved it

So good can’t wait for the next one. Read it in less than 24 hours.

Love a Variation in Voices

Narration:
I am not a fan of audiobooks where you can’t discern one character from another when the narrator speaks. This book does NOT have that issue! I also love a duet narration. And this is that also! The narrators’ perfectly depicted the way the characters sounded in my head when I read the book the first time. The way Casey Jones depicts Casimir’s broody grumpiness is spot on. And Annalee Scott is just amazing. I can’t get enough of her voice for Luna! Makes me wish there had been more of Luna in the book. I hope they stick with these narrators for books 2 & 3.

Story:
If you are looking for a story that is different from all the others and you like a crazy-super-slow burn, then this series is for you. Taking a human girl and flinging her into another realm (which she just happens to be from) and watching her beat the odds definitely brought me out of my reading slump. Ava “crushes” every trial and tribulation presented to her. And she does it with all the sass of a woman who has been through some things. There was a plot twist in this book that I can honestly say I didn’t see coming but it made my heart happy. 5/5 stars for me on this one! Will while-heartedly recommended this series to anyone who loves romantasy!

Magical and creative

Very well written. A magical world with demons and fairies. It was very entertaining and enchanting
