A Kind of Magic

Shields Series, Book 2

De: Donna Grant

Narrado por: Antony Ferguson

Roderick was born an immortal prince in the realm of Thales. Revered and respected, he lived a life of grandeur, but his one true love was fighting. He was given a special gift in his battle abilities and soon became known as Thales' finest warrior. But all that changed the day his brother died and an evil descended upon his realm. With Thales on the verge of ruin, he bound himself to the Shields to protect the realms from the evil that ravages them.

But he has a dark secret for which he must atone. Then and only then can he return to Thales and face his family. His special battle skills and his immortality help Roderick to keep his goals in front of him. They have always been clear....until Elle.

Elle makes Roderick long for things he cannot have. Her innate goodness makes him want to grasp what she offers with both hands, but he knows that they can never have what she seeks. Elle bears a mark that signals her as one of a chosen few who were sent to Earth as infants. She and the others who bear the mark must be found and kept hidden from the ancient evil that seeks them, for they hold the key to the evil's ruination. The only way to keep Elle safe is to keep her by his side, but can Roderick resist the temptation to take her love?

This story was begging for dual narrators

The writing and story were good but the narration left a lot to be desired. The main female character was from Texas but the narrator was British. He both could not do a good southern accent and regularly forgot to even try. So when he did remember to give it a go, it was both bad and jarring. If you tend to be distracted by bad narration I would suggest reading this one yourself.

Marvelous!

I really enjoyed this book. In this episode of the Sheilds Series Roderick meets Elle in modern day Texas. He quickly falls for her while fighting off harpies. He takes her back in time to Hugh & Mina so he can better protect her. Elle turns out to be pretty kick ass herself. Elle & Mina each get a Fae weapon & play a big part in vanquishing the evil.
This book is for adults only. The narration is excellent. Worth the credit or cash!

A Kind of Magic

A wonderful, action packed, story filled with love, mystery, and a bit of paranormal. Donna Grant never disappoints and Antony Ferguson is a very gifted narrator!
