Lunar Witch

Phases of the Moon, Book 1

De: M. Sinclair

Narrado por: Vanessa Moyen, Blake Lockheart

No man will ever own me again.

A simple promise I made to myself after escaping a brutal childhood of abuse and being trained to enact violence on unblessed witches. Since that moment, I've managed to survive on the streets by successfully pickpocketing. Unfortunately, after years of hiding, the monster who stars in all my nightmares is closer than ever, and I'm faced with only one option—to seek refuge at the Dark Imaginarium Academy.

The Academy is filled with the elite witches of our society. I should have expected I'd run into some of my previous targets. Normally, that wouldn't be a problem—it's not like they know I stole from them—except for my last hit. What I stole from him is something I'll never forget because it's literally embedded in my chest. Yeah, he's a bit upset about that one—as in acting absolutely psychotic. Except he's not the only one...

A blood witch who has an addiction to my taste. A lunar witch who takes pleasure in trying to scare me into submission. An unblessed that wants to dissect me, literally. A shadow witch that relishes in marking up my body to show ownership. These men want to claim me, own me and the treasure I now possess, but I'll never break the promise I made to myself.

When my past follows me right into the place I consider a safe haven, I find that these psychos may be the exact key to getting rid of my problem forever. The only catch? These men are convinced that I've never experienced the type of horror required for that to happen, that they have to protect me from it. What they don't realize? Killing leaves a stain on the soul, and mine is pitch black.

Lunar Witch is book one in the Phases of the Moon series, set within the shared universe of Dark Imaginarium Academy. All series can be listened to independently, but characters have crossovers, and it is highly encouraged to listen to all books within the universe to understand the world in its entirety. Intended for mature listeners.

mixed feelings

As far as the story goes, it was fine but it felt like nothing significant happened in the entire book. I’m going to give the second one a chance simply because I already purchased it. Performance wise, Vanessa was phenomenal as always, but the male narrator was lacking. His narration itself was insufferable but I could get past it by putting his chapters in 2x speed to get it over with. On top of that, he had several pauses and skips in his audio that really detracted from the experience.

Excellent witch/academy/why choose

All the tropes I like best and it all comes together beautifully. The MMCs are delicious and the FMC is strong but not over the top. I like spending time her and her guys.
The voice acting for Deva is very good.

Would be 5 stars but technical issues

The audio kept skipping and you missed several seconds. It got annoying and took you out of the story. But the story was good and I enjoyed the characters and performances.

Waiting…

I like the variety of characters but nothing significant happened. Not really. Felt like a long setup for the next book.
