Length: 7 hrs and 41 mins

Publisher's Summary

Vampire bounty hunter Morgan Bailey wants three things for her birthday: cupcakes, a little action from her sexy new boyfriend, and a good night’s sleep. After the year she’s had, is a quiet celebration really so much to ask?

Apparently…yes. It turns out a psychotic sidhe - a subspecies of fae - is running amok in Portland, and it’s up to Morgan to take him down. There’s just one problem: this fairy is as powerful as he is psychotic. And considering the supernatural nut jobs Morgan has dealt with, that’s saying something.

Morgan ends up forming an uneasy alliance with the Fairy Queen and embarks upon her most outrageous adventure yet to take out the renegade sidhe. If she fails though, and the sidhe achieves his endgame, it will trigger devastation unlike anyone - or anything, human or otherwise - has ever seen.

What a disappointment...

Would you try another book from Shéa MacLeod and/or Emily Sutton-Smith?

No. The first two books in the series held promise, but this one seemed to have a patchwork plot. It is possible the author was using this book as a bridge to extend the series. However, with such a disappointing story, I will not be a reader/listener of any future books.

What do you think your next listen will be?

Nothing in this series. The Penton Legacy series was recommended by a friend so I will give that a try. I know the narrator of that series is very good.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

Narrator was mediocre.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Disappointment that I spent my time listening to it.

Enjoyable serires

Where does Kissed by Smoke rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

8 out of 10

Who was your favorite character and why?

Morgan.

What does Emily Sutton-Smith bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She really brings the characters to life.

Any additional comments?

The weakest part of the book is the romance. There was such great potential for the love triangle. But t.he dragon is so perfect - boring I can't remember his name. Jake is the worlds worst bodyguard. Before they met he could psychically intuit when she was in trouble. After they met...not so much. Supposedly he couldn't be with her because he needs to be clear headed to guard her...but after they slept together a couple of times he not only couldn't sense when she was in trouble...but was never around her and never answered her phone call. I started wondering if after he got what he wanted he just wanted to be left alone so he could teach 5th graders piano.

disappointed 😞

Claiming to be a bad ass, but always in denial and just laying there watching your boyfriend get killed. To scared to do anything and acting all stupid 😕. Not even trying to do anything. What a shi*** female lead.

great book

this book is worth reading the characters and story line, but the queen did her wrong I can't wait to read the next book

meh

this book was not as good as the first 2. the MC had way too many TSTL moments and it really hurt the story. it was impossible not to feel aggravated with her actions and thought process almost constantly throughout the book. I'm hanging on and hoping the next book redeems this book in the series.

Great Series

While I'm really enjoying this series, Morgan frustrates me no end waffling on whether or not to use her powers. I love that the author keeps you constantly on edge with the twists and turns in the plot. You will certainly enjoy the non - stop action.

Good but a bit cheesy

A good supernatural romance story. Follows well with the other books though! Not for kids.

LOVE THIS SERIES!!

Queen of Air and Darkness

Kissed by Smoke was well written with lots of original imagination, but an abrupt ending full of sadness was unexpected.
