By: Annabel Chase

Narrated by: Vivienne Leheny

In Fairhaven, there's no rest for the wicked, the weary, or anyone in between.

This time, the Wild Hunt is on its way to town, commanded by its ruthless leader who has a score to settle with Lorelei's friend, the Night Mallt.

Meanwhile, the Castle has opened its doors as a sanctuary for an unexpected and unwelcome visitor, which puts a damper on Lorelei's budding relationship with resident demon prince of hell, Kane Sullivan. Even worse, the houseguest brings another hunting party to town, one that Lorelei has been careful to avoid.

As the threats escalate and secrets are revealed, Lorelei must come to terms with a moment of truth she never anticipated...if she can survive the hunt.

Play Dead is the sixth book in the Crossroads Queen series.

LOVE this series

Always love Stacia's books. Can't wait until the next book, I always immerse myself in them.

Amazing Series!

I love the story line and the characters and development. I love the slow burn romance too. I prefer it and enjoyable to listen too as the relationship develops.

Re Reading the series

I absolutely love the characters. I become so immersed into the story.I love the witty banter & the community she built. I really wish Miss. Clay would stop being afraid of her powers. Waiting for the next book release Jan 2025

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I have to give kudos to the narrator, Vivienne Leheny.
Quality narration on these books.

This is a good series to have droning on in the background.
I don't have to pay close attention, and it has a warmth to it.

Lorelei your stupidity is showing

The Rant: So tired of people and ghosts telling Lorelei what to do. So frustrating. Also, IF IT SEEMS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE IT IS! FFS! And why is it everyone else gets to have their secrets but heaven forbid Lorelei has a secret. And why does she keep stupid secrets, like ones that others should KNOW for their safety and the safety of others? Oh the frustration in this one. Granted, this book came nowhere close to the frustration other books have evolved in me, I didn't want to throw anything or beat my heat on a wall or need to walk away for a day or two, but grrr.

Now the review: Not gonna lie, this one took longer to finish than the others. Maybe because I knew the next book wasn't available yet? Lorelei shows her stupidity in this book, not just with taking in someone who gave her up to the corporation but also by being the worst liar ever, not sharing things with people she should, and making extremely poor decisions (although I didn't see the twist that was revealed due to her stupid choice). If the fates don't know you, here's a hint, don't give them anything, nothing, zilch. I know that Lorelei's big heart is what makes her special but come on, learn that killing one person could save countless other lives, it's like she learned nothing from the lake battle. This book builds on that wonderful slow burn, until it ********. This book gets a 2.5/5 for spice. It also leaves on a slight cliffhanger. Personally if there were no more books, I'd be a little sad but not overly and very little anger over it. At this point I don't think she will ever finish the castle (it would be almost comical if the castle was destroyed during a battle), Kane isn't going anywhere, she has friends and a family she has chosen. The corporation is too big for her to take down, so really, what else is there?
