A Touch of Poison

Shadows of the Tenebris Court, Book 2

De: Clare Sager

Narrado por: Sarah Sampino, Liam Price

In Elfhame, bargains are currency, lies are weapons, and your heart is your greatest weakness.

Reeling from Bastian's revelations, Kat wakes from her dire illness wanting nothing more than to sever all ties with the man who betrayed her. But fate has a different plan—she's trapped in Elfhame, the fae realm where nothing is as it seems. And worse, she's trapped with him, reliant on his touch to stave off a poison that threatens her very life.

Thrust into the center of Dusk and Dawn Courts, they must balance the two in order to maintain a delicate peace. But in a world where alliances are forged and shattered in a heartbeat, danger looms. A mysterious group infiltrates the city, and spies whisper of an ancient artifact powerful enough to destroy an entire court.

As enemies close in from all sides and attacks on the city escalate, Kat and Bastian must unearth deadly secrets and their own complicated feelings to survive—or risk a war to destroy faekind itself.

Full of betrayal, bargains, and broken hearts, A Touch of Poison is the spellbinding second book in Shadows of the Tenebris Court, a searing romantic fantasy trilogy perfect for fans of The Bridge Kingdom and A Court of Thorns and Roses. Intended for mature listeners.

Ruined with the male narrator

I couldn’t even follow the book when it came to the male narrator chapter because he doesn’t follow punctuation and feels like he is saying the entire thing as one sentence. Not to mention his terrible inflection. He absolutely ruined this series

Male narrator why

This story is good, and the female narrator was great. But good gracious the male narrator! His voice itself is nice, but the cadence/inflection is terrible. I couldn’t get past it, the female narrator was great I wish she did both perspectives. It’s like every sentence he’s asking a question or something. The way it lifts up at the end of almost every sentence is really difficult to get past, and seems like it would be such an easy thing to fix. How any editor could get through that without commenting is beyond me. Just couldn’t get over it.

Love story and Intrigue

Loved the story telling, the series draws the reader in. Looking forward to devouring more of the series! The only thing keeping me from 5 stars is a little more plot, detail to scenery wanted, with less main character self doubt. I understand some of it was character development.

Love it

Love the book. Love the female narrator. I just can’t with the male narrator, he sounds like a guy on the history channel narrating with no sense of story in his voice. The first book was just her and I lovvvved it. Is there an option where it is just her narrating?

Great Story, Half-bad Narration

I really enjoyed the story. The female narration was fantastic! The male narration, however, was awful. His breathing was so annoying and his inflection was terrible. This is one audiobook that could've done without dual-narration.

So good!!

I love the story line. The audio was good and expressive when needed. The love story with the dramas is so interesting.

The male narrator

I was hoping the male narrator would only have a chapter or two, but omg the male VA is horrendous. Exaggerates every other word and pauses too much at weird times. The book itself is great. Love the plot and the characters. Believable fantasy and I LOVE the FMC

Get a new male narrator

The gasps after every phrase spoken by the male narrator drove me insane. I almost stopped listening before the 15th chapter.
I love everything else about this story.
Just get rid of the male narrator for the love of God!

Great story

Love this book and the fae worlds. Great sequel and I’m looking forward to the next book.

I. Hate. The. MMC Voice

Hate him so much. Should have just had the girl narrate both characters. Great book but hate his voice
