A nice quick read.

Just finished this book up and enjoyed the story. It kind of went in a few different directions and didn’t know where it was going to end up. It ended with quite a cliffhanger.

As for the narrator there is potential. I can’t imagine it being easy to have the range to handle a young fae girl to a regal king being easy. The feminine rolls were fine but when it came to male voices it did fall quite monotone. The story is still worth a listen. Don’t let the narration discourage you.

Fun, a little basic, but great listen

This isn't the next Twilight or Hunger Games but overall it's a really cute, fun YA book. I enjoyed the characters and the narrator did an amazing job bringing them to life and creating unique voices and personalities for each one. Recommend for a quick, fun listen.

Wow, I can’t believe I finished it

It’s really hard for me to distinguish the story from the narration. The narrator was so bad and I am wondering if I would’ve liked the book better if I had read it or had a different narrator. The narrator’s voices were quite juvenile and annoying and so is the storyline. And this coming from a person who listens to mostly YA fiction.

Can't wait for more

This book was great. There were some really unexpected things that happened that I never saw coming. I loved Vergie. She was a fairly straightforward character. I have to admit the first little bit of the book made me cringe and wonder exactly what the vamps were going to do. After that, it was just one surprise after the other.

There are a lot of characters to keep up with and several back stories that I can't wait to read more about. There is a ton going on that I just couldn't stop listening. The narrator does a great job with the voices and makes the already good story even better. Just bring on the next story!

5/5.

Thank you to the author/publisher for the review copy of this book. I received this book in exchange for an honest review and the opinions stated above are 100% mine.

LOVE THIS BOOK

I absolutely love this book. I was hooked from the start, and could not wait to continue on to the next book.

From the beginning, I fell in love with Verge’s character and wanted her to succeed. I was saddened by the damage to the relationship between Verge and Onyx and only hope that get can patch things up. I also love the relationship between Verge and Peter. Bring on book 2.

Potato or potahto, it's not pea-onie!

The story is pretty interesting, I enjoyed the prequels. The narrator of this story is making my ears bleed. Do authors have no input to the recording of their their books? I know what a Peony is, and who she is from the other story, but I have no idea what a Pea-onie is. It's rattling my brain every time I hear it and it's extremely distracting!

Light Read

The Narrators did a good job with this book. Overall it was a good story and I can't wait for Her to grow stronger.

Great story

Great start to a new series, While this may be book one to the series there is a prequel that you can listen to that will help you know what is going on in case you have not read other books in the author's backlist which are set in the same world and gives the backgrounds for the characters. This book is the beginning for Virgie and let me say she is now in a better place. The narrator did great

spin off

So this is a spin off Nocturnal Academy which is Virgie's story after what happens after her time at Nocturnal Academy.

Really good book!!

I really enjoyed this book! It was a very good story and could not stop listening once I started it! I am anxious for the sequel to follow!!!

Loving it

Absolutely enjoyed the book, looking forward to the next book in the series. Worth the read

Backstory

This is a book 1 that is obviously in a bigger universe. The authors give us the needed backstory but it is referenced a lot. It doesn’t have a book 1 feel. With that said the story is good. You are left on a cliffhanger needing book 2!

Loved it!!

I loved it :)! I can't wait to listen to book 2. The narrator fit the story so well.

Fun new series

A fun new Fae series. Well written and easy to digest. I enjoyed the characters and plot.

Reluctant Fae

I really loved this book. I loved the description of the land and the creatures. I can't wait to the next book. Highly recommend if you enjoy Fae.

good story

the narrator was good and the storyline was good. I enjoyed reading it. a good recommendation. The descriptions were really well done.

Brilliant

This book is so beautifully written, I particularly loved the vivid descriptions of the tree houses with the stairs in this new fae world. It is wonderful to see Virgie's character development. The narrator has a mesmerising voice which adds another dimension to this brilliant story. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
