Publisher's summary

She robbed her brother of his destiny. Now she’s stuck with a dangerous power she can’t ignore, can’t control, and frighteningly - can’t resist.

I was born on the wrong side of the law - literally delivered on the floor of the state women’s prison.

My mother sees spirits. My father could become one at will. Together, they were among the most dangerous crime couples in history.

I’ve spent the last three decades trying not to live up to my DNA’s potential. Now my father is dead, and his “gift” has wrongly passed to me.

All I want is freedom from my dark family legacy, but my father’s death opened a gateway, unleashing a bloodthirsty enemy. And as much as I hate this new power within me, it might be the only way to save the city I’ve sworn to protect.

Elicia Hyder never fails to entertain, whether I'm reading her books or listening to them on audiobooks. I highly recommend you reading this book, plus any of the other ones written by her, you will not be disappointed. I Love the narrator as well she doesn't excellent job in my opinion.

Detached by Elicia Hyder

Wow!! Where do I even begin?!
Fresh off the Soul Summoner series (which I loved and adored), Detached is like a whole new field!
Saphera Nyx robbed her brother of his destiny and now she’s left with a “gift” she never wanted. I can’t wait to see what happens next for Nyx, Essex, Ransom and Bess! We need more Bess lol
The narrator is perfect! I love her voices for male characters (I struggle with some denial narrators and their male voices).
Don’t waste anymore time, listen to Detached now!!

Amazing!

Elicia Hyder did it again. I was worried I might not like it as much as her Soul Summoner series, but I am hooked! I can't wait for the next book.

Detached — Narrated by Eva Kaminsky

This is my first introduction to Eva Kaminsky, and I’m incredibly grateful that I have a ton of credits saved up! I loved her narration, and I’m so excited to buy the next book and audio in the series.

Eva had great voice distinction between characters, including those of the same gender. I could always tell when she was speaking the dialogue and monologue of the main character as well.

I love her voice as Nyx, the heroine, even though I initially had pictured someone with more of a rasp. She played the role great and inserted a bit of “warmth”(? ... well, a je ne sais quoi.) Regardless, I think she suits Nyx just fine.

The only think I noticed that was slightly off is that Eva tends to end her sentences with a bit of a rasp or something? It didn’t really bother me and I’ve heard other narrators for this too. It’s just interesting because you think there might be more to the sentence.

I like her male characters too—which is something I often worry about with narrators. But, she really transitioned smoothly between the roles.

I love how bubbly she made Bess, one of the secondary characters. I think I even detected a slight Southern lilt too, which was great for continuity. The other minor players sounded good too.

Overall, Eva did an amazing job!

A wonderful read as always.

Ok,I listened to this book for the second time, and this time I loved it. But the reader is ruining this story. She tries to make it too dramatic!
The story is riveting enough on own.

Great book and voice actor

I have been looking forward to reading this book, and thankfully I was not disappointed. This book was so good!!! It was really hard turning off and going to bed at night. I’m not going to give any spoilers, but I just wanted to say I really loved this book.
I have read all of Elicia Hyder’s books and love them all. It’s really hard picking your favorite. I guess my favorite seems to always be the last one I read. Cannot wait for the next one to come out!

Eva Kaminski is the perfect narrator for reading Nyx's story to us.

Page turner from beginning to end!

The storyline, characters, and setting were absolutely wonderful. Absolutely one you won’t want to put down.
