Story
After being devastated by the Dark Fae, Maeve is forced to continue working for them. Her newfound knowledge causes even more confusion and she’s haunted by nightmares that just might be from her past. But that isn’t her biggest problem. Maeve is left in orc territory and forced to trust two brothers she has an uncanny attraction to, even though they just might be her worst enemy. Along with a beast she should kill — but can’t bring herself to — Maeve’s adventures come to a startling twist when she reaches the kingdom where she was born.

When Mum died, I inherited a lot more than a pack of lies. I landed a $410,000 debt. Discovered her previous surname. And her real place of birth. Desperate to uncover the truth, I drive to a tiny dot on the map called Deception Valley. Coincidental name? Nope. There, I find her secret family - because she had one of those too.

I’m one placement away from becoming a fully fledged London detective. It’s bad enough that my last assignment before I qualify is with Supernatural Squad. But that’s nothing compared to what happens next. Brutally murdered by an unknown assailant, I wake up 12 hours later in the morgue - and I’m very much alive. I don’t know how or why it happened. I don’t know who killed me. All I know is that they might try again.

For a decade, I’ve hated the supernaturals who owned my world. I hunted them. I killed them. And now, in the most grand twist of fate - I am bonded to one of them. Oh, the irony. Being a supernatural bounty hunter isn’t exactly a popular job. But after the magic wars, there aren’t many things a human can do that will put food on the table. Thankfully, anything my right hook can’t handle, my guns can. Or so I thought.

My duty to my family is simple. Help maintain order and uphold the law for my werecat father, Hasan, a member of the Tribunal. But I’ve always had a defiant streak. To do what’s right, I’m willing to throw the law out the window and turn my back on everything I’ve been told. Everyone around me knows I’m willing to risk everything for what I believe in. All I can hope is that my beliefs and the law don’t clash again. Because I have another duty. A duty to blood. A duty to the bond between those who once shared a face and a life.

I used to hunt witches. Now I live with one. To further complicate things, my past as a supernatural bounty hunter doesn’t exactly make me popular in these new circles I’m running in. Shocker, I know. Someone wants me dead. He wants me to stay in Nathalie’s apartment and be safe while he handles the threat, all while holding Bree’s future over my head. Not gonna happen. To say I’m f--ked is an understatement. But I’ve been in worse spots before. Lucifer may be gone, but the corruption of magic isn’t.

This book definitely packs a punch
Pawn by Angela J. Ford was such a wild ride! It has a great world-building, though definitely on the dark side, and a heroine who is thrust into a quest by the Fae thanks to their holding over her her own freedom. Much of the story is full of action but also intrigue, since Maeve's companion, Sandrine the Scholar, is not so forthcoming with the knowledge she has.
As for the narrator, she certainly did a great job differentiating the voices of all the characters (and there are many since there are a couple of chapters that are even from a different POV) and bringing this story to life. However, I think there's room for improvement, especially with some slighter nuances, such as whispers, or when displaying certain emotions.
This book definitely packs a punch and has something to appeal to many: from magic/sorcery to sword skills and battles, from intrigue and a prophecy to hints of romance, lovers of Fantasy will definitely enjoy this new series.
Content: since the world is dark and the heroine has made a living with her sword skills, the violence levels in this book are bound to be high. I know for some this won't bother them, but for me, the descriptions were at times too strong (or even visceral). Also, it must be noted that there's a couple of times where, when describing female characters, the word "breasts" is mentioned, and one of those times going into even further detail (since said character is wearing very thin clothing, leaving nothing to the imagination). ~ 4 stars

Think Lord or the Ringsesque with One BadA*s Female Warrior!
I remember when I was a little girl, Lord of the Rings was the first big book I ever read. Now granted my dad helped me with this! My dad would sit in between my brother’s and my bedrooms before bed and we would sit with him. He would scroll his finger across the words so we could learn how to read. It was wonderful! This book is the start of one of my new favorite series! It was awesome! Great plot twists, just enough info on all the different types of beings to paint a solid picture of the domains and make me want to see more! Maeve of Carn is a dynamo! She is a force! The flow of the book was great for laying the foundation for the books to come! Angela Ford is a writing wizard! So excited for book #2!

whoever gave this book a 4 star is a lied
The book is basic and nothing stands out for me, definitely will not continue with this series. There is no character development and the story seems rushed and parts are missing like I would have like th story to begin when she was with rhw Warlord so the story can develop and help us understand Maeve better. Maeve comes off as really naive as if she wasn't a mercenary who murdered and killed people before being captured. The Character the author was trying to portray is not the character that was delivered to us.

Maeve is a bit like Wonder Woman
This book was amazing. I listened to the whole book in 2.5 days. I didn't want to stop listening. The characters each have distinct personalities. The plot flows along well. There is a lot of action. I'd recommend this book to those looking for a Fae fantasy book with magic and dragons. The main character, Maeve is not exactly a good person but she isn't evil either. She dresses like Wonder Woman and she is strong like Wonder Woman. She is also confident. I look forward to the next book.
Maeve has come to realize that the bad predicament that she has found herself in is of her own making. The Fae don't have any control over those who don’t harm innocents. Even with that knowledge, she is not yet ready to change. She is desperate for her freedom from the Fae. This book has twists and turns. The characters have secrets. We learn some of those secrets in this first book.
The narrator did a great job. Her voice fluctuates and is appealing to the ear. It is easy to differentiate among the characters that she is portraying.

Excited for the next one!
I'm invested in Ford's Legend of the Nameless One series, so I thought I'd check out what else she's done. I think the beginning of this series shows even more promise than the first book in the Nameless One saga, and I'm excited to see where she goes from here.
It's an absolutely wild and creative through fantasy tropes old and new. There's dragons, fae, wizards, and warriors, but also creative stuff like haunted seas, giant eels, and weirdly all-knowing goblin queens. And of course, questions about character's intentions and pasts, some which are answered in this book and others that are saved for later.
The narrator is absolutely pitch-perfect, capturing all the nuances of Maeve and her situation. She takes us through her inner darkness and growing desire to be something better with great acumen. I love Maeve's bloodthirsty nature but I also love her dawning realization of the evil she's caused in the world, the lives she's impacted for the worst.
Just a quick note, but this is the type of redemption story that relies on the idea of religion as a force for change. It's not Maeve's only reason to want to change, but the idea of a god, called "The Divine" that stands in judgment of all is a significant reason she's seeking redemption. I note this because I know that's not for everyone; I was actually a little disappointed by that myself, but not enough to squelch my enjoyment of the story.
I have the second book in the series and plan to start it soon. I want to know what happens next!

An adventure
I had not heard of this book or this author but had the opportunity to get the audiobook in exchange for my honest review. I was hooked from the first chapter and I will be reading the rest of the trilogy to see what happens. I thought the author did a great job of creating a rich fantasy world filled with dragons, Fae, goblins, magic and more. The narrator did a good job bringing the characters to life. I would recommend this book and I’ll be looking for more from this author.

Fantasy at its best
Angela. has a talent for making her stories come alive! This is no exception as her narrator, Racquel, has an excellent voice that she uses to show the emotions of the characters along with listener being able to distinguish which characters are talking.
I can’t wait to listen to the next installment in this trilogy.

Fascinating worldsetting
The worldsetting is truly fascinating. I quite like the author's take on the fae genre, a genre that can otherwise feel a bit overdone these days. But this was new and refreshing, and I quite liked Maeve of Carn. She's a ruthless mercenary, quite lost but learns more about herself during the book. Look forward to continuing this series!
The narrator did an amazing job, each character had their own voice and it was easy to tell the difference.

Good First Book
Maeve of Carn is a mercenary. Born with superhuman abilities, she's used her strength to gain wealth from noble men and warlords. Until one full moon, she's taken by a Dark Fae and imprisoned. Then they offer her freedom; but first she will have to reunite the 7 shards of a relic that is said to break the curse of the Dark Fae. Without much of a choice, Maeve sets off on an epic quest with a scholar as her guide.
This was a really fascinating world. I liked the overall story, but I was confused by a lot of what happened to Maeve. There's so much information she's seemed to have lost about who she is or was and I didn't get enough to truly understand her.
The quest aspect of this was fun and I enjoyed getting to know the other characters. I wasn't completely sure of the relationship between Maeve and Cassian. At times it seemed romantic and other it didn't.
Overall, I'm interested in the lore of the world enough to continue, but I hope there's more answers about Maeve and Carn in the next one because I'm still confused about that aspect.

A great 1st book
I was caught up this book from the start, it held my attention and kept me thoroughly entertained. It's well written and nicely paced. A great story with a good amount of detailing.
The characters are great and suit the story.
The narration is really good, bring this whole experience together nicely.
well worth checking out.
