ELSPETH NEEDS A MONSTER. THE MONSTER MIGHT BE HER.

An ancient, mercurial spirit is trapped inside Elspeth Spindle's head - she calls him the Nightmare. He protects her. He keeps her secrets. But nothing comes for free, especially magic.

When Elspeth meets a mysterious highwayman on the forest road, she is thrust into a world of shadow and deception. Together, they embark on a dangerous quest to cure the town of Blunder from the dark magic infecting it. As the stakes heighten and their undeniable attraction intensifies, Elspeth is forced to face her darkest secret yet: the Nightmare is slowly, darkly, taking over her mind. And she might not be able to stop him.

For fans of Uprooted and For the Wolf comes a gothic fantasy romance about a maiden who must unleash the monster within to save her kingdom.

Too much Hype

The Hype was not worth it, it is a good story but since I’ve Heras so much of it, that it was amazing I expected more, the narrator was very good, not wonderful but good, I was king of dissapointed, a good story overall

So Good

I loved the style this book is written in, the story, the magic and the characters. Loved the scary gothic vibes. It also has really good pacing and great ending. Overall loved it!

Overall ok, not bad not spectacular like TikTok says

FMC was annoying with her tripping and being caught eavesdropping multiple times. Why ? Like why?

AMAZING! ESPECTACULAR

Me habían dicho que era un libro muy bueno pero jamás me imaginé este nivel. Hace mucho no leía un libro que desde el 5% ya te tiene atrapada y no te suelta nunca. No es un nivel de mundo complejo, que necesites 1000 páginas para entender y ahí si empezar a disfrutar. La autora logra irte soltando pistas, sorpresas… la tensión en los personajes a nivel romántico, sexual, desconfianza es la adecuada y necesaria. No hay nada en exceso. No es como todos ahora metiendo 500 horas de sexo porque es lo que está de moda. Enserio es DEMASIADO. Lo súper recomiendo.

PD: Solo quiero aclarar que no tengo nada en contra de Smut - o algo así - Antes lo disfruto mucho. Solo que últimamente los libros que están publicando están metiendo esto “por incluirlo porque está de moda”. Está en narrativas donde no cuadra, donde no es el momento, donde la química no está o no es la adecuada. Olvidando que hay más que solo eso en una buena historia.

Potenially good story ruined by poor narration

You are required to be adequate at your job. Not necessarily brilliant. Just good enough. So if you are a narrator of audiobooks it's non-negotiable that you learn how to pronounce the words. Like "hearth" (it's said "harth" not "herth"), and "pestle" ("pessel" not "pestel"). These are not Americanisms that I'm being unfair about, they're just wrong, and I'm only on Chapter 2 😥.

Loved every single part of it

The narrator is amazing, the voices of each caracter, the life she gives to each of them, amazing!!
AND THE STORY, SOOOO GOOOOD!
Just really hoping for October so that I can go back to this universe! Amazing, one of my favorites for sure

Speechless and mind blown

I don’t even know why I postponed reading/listening to this book till this moment. It is truly an incredible story with wonderful characters and intriguing plot. I was confused for a few chapters but when I understood the cards a little bit and saw fan arts of them it got much easier to understand.
Highly recommended book to everyone in search for something new.
