Allison Mack's boyfriend Mark and his family were killed in a car crash 3 months ago. Since then Ally has been trying to move on. On morning of her 16th birthday Ally wakes up to find Mark in her bedroom. He warns her to beware of the Under Places. Ally then learns from her Grandfather that she is related to Fairies and the one is trying to kill her and her family. With the help of Mark and her new fairy family she must take on the one who wants her dead.

Ms. Rose tells a good story in My Dead Boyfriend. It's a little mystery and little paranormal mixed together. The balance of 'real world' and 'fairy world' is nice. The Epilogue makes me want to find out what happens next in Ally's story.

Ms. Krause is a fine narrator. She does a good job with the Irish accents of the fairy characters. She also paces the story well and that helps to draw you into the story even more.

I would recommend this books to listeners 13+ years and older.

Cute story about fairies with some action

I enjoyed this book, it was about a girl who finds out she's a descendant of fairies. The fairies she is related to have been in a feud against other fairies who now want her and her family dead. There was action and romance and mystery which made this book a quick and fun listen. It's also the first in a series so although the ending isn't too much of a cliffhanger it does leave some questions unanswered.

The narrator does a good job with all the character voices and accent it was easy to know who was speaking which pulled me into the story.
