Publisher's Summary

A multi-voice audiobook by internationally best-selling author KT Strange.

My goals for my final year at university were:

1. Kick ass at my internship
2. Keep hiding from my family
3. Stop frying my phone battery by accident with my powers.

Then I walked into the first day of my internship at a hot indie record label to find that my old life had collided with my new one.

Five hot guys in a band called Phoenixcry, I’m supposed to manage them, and oh yeah, PS, they’re werewolves. I’ve left the magic world behind, but I’m still a witch, and witches and werewolves don’t mix.

But doing the wrong thing was always my MO, so now I’m out on the road with a band full of sexy, growly werewolves. But the magic world is one step behind us: There are hunters on our trail, and if they catch us, the boys are dead and I’m back at home under lock and key.

Oh, one more thing, I think I’m falling in love with them. Not just one of them, all of them, and to make it super complicated, I think they feel the same way.

So I had to revise my goals for this year:

1. Kick ass at my internship
2. Don’t fall in love with the band
3. Stay alive

Sounds easy, right?

Meet Darcy Llewellyn, fourth year university student, music intern, and secretly a witch. This is the story about how she meets and falls in love with the werewolves that make up the band Phoenixcry: Finn Gunner, Elias Gunner, Charlie Gage, Wesley "Ace" Rivers, and Cash Legend.

This steamy reverse harem romance is over 80,000 words in length, and is the first in a series about Darcy Llewellyn and her pack of werewolf lovers.

Impressive narration and good story.

This type of story is not the sort of thing I would typically be interested in. I was pleasantly surprised at how attached to the characters I was. It was well written and the VO artists did a good job bringing this story to life.

I couldn’t put it down!

Not gonna lie, I did not know what I was walking into when I started this book. It was recommended to me as and I barely looked at the title before I jumped in without reading a bio or genre.

And then I couldn’t put it down! Lighthearted but with an engaging story, I finished the entire thing in one sitting. The voice cast is amazing. I liked every narrator which NEVER happens, and I was excited to recognize familiar voices.

Listening to this story brought me back that nostalgic feeling of reading a really good shojo manga and I totally recommend it for anyone who appreciates that vibe.

Also, the story really surprised me. Romance is not a genre I’ve ever paid much attention to and it took me a few chapters to really get into the story, and then I was giggling and squeeing like a fangirl the entire way. It has been such a long time since I’ve done that.

I hollered at the ending cause I wasn’t ready for it to be over, and I will be eagerly awaiting the next installment, and definitely seeking out more stories from this author in the future!

Don’t waste your credit

I was initially excited by the premise of the story. It seemed like an interesting idea. However, the writing was incredible juvenile and I often forgot that the LFC was supposed to be a grown woman. She came across as incredibly weak and spineless, which was very disappointing.

While I enjoyed the multiple narrators, the main female narrator tasked with carrying the bulk of the story was abismal. She was ultimately the reason I had to stop listening, and I will be certain never to listen to another book narrated by her again.

These Rogues stole my heart!

It’s excellently done. If you liked the Rogue Witch books, love Reverse Harems, or are looking for something new to heat up your spring... check this out! I am a huge audiobook consumer, and I have not enjoyed a book this much in... Ages. The full cast truly brings it to life in a unique and impactful way.

Bring a fan, you’ll need it.

Personal thoughts:

-Lauren is an excellent narrator. She brings vivacity to Darcy. She’s nuanced, sassy, and brings plenty of heat, giving as good as she gets!

Rebecca made me laugh so many times with her dry wit. And so many good references. I cannot WAIT for the next book to see her get to shine more.

-Jeff lights up the room every time he speaks. He really nails the positivity and fun of Ace, and still manages to provide plenty of smolder! Looking forward to seeing his character evolve.

-The gentleman playing Fin and Eli, wow. Managed to make me enjoy scenes with my least favorite character (Fin), and simultaneously make me look forward to scenes with my favorite character (Eli).

-The actor first Charlie is GOLD. I loved everything he had to say. Superb!!! 🔥🔥🔥

Awesome audio book

This book is fantastic to listen to. The narrator's are really good. Loving that each caracter has it's own narrator. the story itself is done really good. Darcy llewellyn is taking an internship at an indie record label. that in itself is strange because she's a witch. at the first meeting she finds out she'll be managing phoenixcry. they are werewolves and witches and wolves don't mix ever. now what is she to do?

Best narration I've heard in a while...

Story: I really liked this story. The main character bugged me off and on. 3 of the guys were great! Finn, Ace, and Charlie were great. I had high hopes for Cash but he let me down. Elias I just don't have a good sense of him yet. The end was a bit of a let down for me. I understand why Darcy is doing what she's doing but I just don't know how I feel about it. And yet again, Cash let me down.

Narration: Darcy Llewellyn, Finn Gunner, Elias Gunner, Charlie Gage, Wesley "Ace" Rivers, and Cash Legend
This is one of the best audiobook productions that I've ever heard. I loved how all the characters had their own actors. I loved the parts where you could tell someone was talking on the phone and the singing parts. I think there were some other sound effects that I enjoyed as well. This is one of my favorite listens of the year.

Great audio version of a brilliant book

I love the Rogue Witch series. This version lives up to the print one. Fabulous!!
