Story
Take a look into the mind of the undead bohemian Jack Townson, an artist who found himself trapped in a world of nightmares, a life without sunlight, never to feel the warmth of day or the permanence of true love. Jack dives inward to put pen to paper, filling each minute with forbidden secrets—from the loves he's lost, to the friends he's made, to the villains who have plagued him, and the dreams of tomorrow. Step into the shoes of a child of dusk trying to find his way back into the dawn.

Story
The Manipulator. I can manipulate the emotions of anyone who lets me. I will make you hurt, make you cry, make you laugh and sigh. But my words don't affect him. Especially not when I plead for him to leave. He's always there, watching and waiting. And I can never look away. Not when I want him to come closer. The Shadow. I didn't mean to fall in love. But now that I have, I can't stay away. I'm mesmerized by her smile, by her eyes, and the way she moves. I'll keep watching and waiting. Until I can make her mine. And once she is, I'll never let her go.

One night, and my entire life went up in flames. All because of him. Jafar. As my world burned down around me, he offered me a choice. Walk away with nothing but my freedom...or rise to his challenge and win my fortune back. I bargained. I lost. Now Jafar owns me, and even as my mind rails against his rules, my body loves the punishments he deals out when I break them. But a gilded cage is still a prison, I’ll do anything to obtain my freedom. Even betray the man I’m falling for. Content Warning: This book contains depictions of consensual non-consent.

Story
The stories were all wrong—Hook was never the villain. For two centuries, all of the Darling women have disappeared on their 18th birthday. Sometimes they’re gone for only a day, some a week or a month. But they always return broken. Now, on the afternoon of my 18th birthday, my mother is running around the house making sure all the windows are barred and the doors locked. But it’s pointless. Because when night falls, he comes for me. And this time, the Never King and the Lost Boys aren’t willing to let me go.

Half human, half vampire, she lived eternally torn between two worlds, never fully experiencing the pleasures of either until her father chose her as the pawn in his latest political move, gifting her to the darkly powerful and dangerously seductive Malachi Zion.

He speaks quietly, plainly, even gently . . . carrying us back to the night when he departed human existence as heir--young, romantic, cultivated--to a great Louisiana plantation, and was inducted by the radiant and sinister Lestat into the other, the "endless," life....

Publisher's summary
Shayne Leighton's stunning NA debut is a fiercely imaginative, multilayered contemporary fantasy where Erin Morgenstern's The Night Circus meets Anne Rice's The Vampire Chronicles in a story about a girl caught between two societies, two sides, and two loves.
Raised by a vampire in a secret society of witches, shifters, and elves, Charlotte finds that she is the freak in her world of magic and wonder. When she stands before an army of impossible obstacles, the likelihood of survival in this coming-of-age modern fairy tale is slim, resulting in a war between light and darkness.
Charlotte knows no other home than the one nestled deep in the woods of Eastern Europe, where witches draw spells of enchantment, shifters throw tea parties, and elves are the closest in kin.
As genocide and war threaten her life and her home, Charlotte will not allow her one true love to be destroyed. Fighting for her adopted coven of rogue monsters, she will do whatever it takes to save them, and she'll do it before the sun comes up and light takes over forever!

My father called them messengers. He once told me they walked among us and that somewhere in this dark and godless city, there shined a faint sliver of hope. I had only to look for the signs. Well, I’ve spent my whole life investigating the inexplicable and all I've found are the unsettling vestiges of iniquity—the evidence of another world shrouded by the obscure. Purgatory to some, where depravity hides in shadows, and girls like me are little more than delicious bites of temptation. Others call it Nightshade.

Fae exist only in children’s stories, or so I thought. That was before a nightmarish creature of the Fae Realm dropped into my life. He claimed a seven-pointed mark on my skin signified my magical lineage, the bit of DNA my mother passed down. Days after I arrive in the Fae Realm, I’m thrown into a series of trials titled ‘The Devotion’. I must compete with demons, vampires, elves and more who want to claim their place at the future King’s side. I have no interest in this guy, but it doesn’t help that the King-to-be is a gorgeous, brooding fae.

Story
Fae exist only in children’s stories, or so I thought. That was before a nightmarish creature of the Fae Realm dropped into my life. He claimed a seven-pointed mark on my skin signified my magical lineage, the bit of DNA my mother passed down. Days after I arrive in the Fae Realm, I’m thrown into a series of trials titled ‘The Devotion’. I must compete with demons, vampires, elves and more who want to claim their place at the future King’s side. I have no interest in this guy, but it doesn’t help that the King-to-be is a gorgeous, brooding fae.

Beyond amazing with such depth and emotion
Where does Of Light and Darkness rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This was my first audiobook
What was one of the most memorable moments of Of Light and Darkness?
All of it
Which character – as performed by Joel Froomkin – was your favorite?
I love Joel Froomkin doing the voices of everyone in the book, but when he did Valek's voice I was totally in love with how he brought him to life....
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes, I have listen to it twice since I got it.
Any additional comments?
Joel Froomkin has done an amazing job bring this story by Shayne Leighton to life. You can feel all the emotions of each charterer as you listen to the audiobook.
The way he narrates brings chills to spine with all the raw emotion. Please give this audiobook a listen you will not be sorry at all.

Magical and Mesmerizing!
Compelling mystical creatures, a young girl valiantly trying to protect her love from his enemies and the machinations of powerful individuals who seek to destroy them. This fascinating and intriguing story read by Joel Froomkin is a mesmerizing audiobook! Froomkin's incredibly fluid voice brings to vivid life a multitude of vibrant characters. Music, the whisper of a breeze, a rustle in the forest and other sounds build layer upon layer of an audio tapestry. I highly recommend this audiobook to anyone who enjoys dark romance, mystical creatures, and a multi-layered audio experience in storytelling.

A Stunning Modern Fairy Tale
What did you love best about Of Light and Darkness?
In a crowded genre, this story is so refreshing and unique. The world building is intricate, and as I was introduced to the Occult City, I felt the same way I had when I first was introduced to Hogwarts. Truly magical. I especially loved Joel Froomkin's narration. His storytelling is masterful. I found myself enraptured. I totally forgot there was only one person speaking.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Of Light and Darkness?
Each of the musical themes added to usher in the various characters made many parts very memorable. I thought the sound design was delicate while being interactive with the story--not distracting at all. The characters were the most memorable parts of the story. The giant spider shape-shifter, the enchanted scarecrow...each of them were dynamic and lovable. Even the baddies!
What does Joel Froomkin bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Joel Froomkin's voice made this a cinematic experience. He pulls the listener into the world and leaves you hanging on every word. His Valek is sultry. His Charlotte is relatable. Every dialect is well-crafted and believable. He gives OLAD and whole cast of characters. Mr. Froomkin vocally painted the picture and added an entirely new dimension to Leighton's world. This audiobook is not to be missed!
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Love against the impossible

Shayne brought me to a place where I didn't want to escape. Wonderful landscaping, exceptional characters, all unique and intriguing. Magical, scary and yet heart warming, adventurous, exciting and much more. The main characters are very well written and I'm definately team Charlotte! You must read this, it was worth every moment! looking forward to part 2 & a movie of course!

Wonderful dark romance
A little different than your run of the mill vamp romance, focusing more on friendship and self discovery. Our heroine,Charlotte is fallibly wonderful and you fall in love with the entire cast of characters - not least the dark, broody vampire. Joel Froomkin's voice is pure delicious magic, switching easily between genders and accents- I'd have sworn there were at least 5 people reading! His Valek was pure, smooth sex. <3

The Best Book Series I Ever Owned!
I absolutely LOVED IT! Shayne has done a fantastic job and it feels like I'm there the entire journey!! It makes you want to travel to Prague and feel the magic there. This is by far the best vampire series I have ever owned since I did not like the ending of the Twilight series. Shayne has redemmed the world of the vampires and this is one I truly recommend to read!!

What you’d imagine an audiobook to be
while the story is not everyone’s cup of tea the performance is what you’d expect an audiobook to be, not simply someone narrating the story but when they talk next to a “crackling fire” there is a crackling fire in the background noise it was lovely, a real experience to listen to. I hope the next book is narrated the same.

An Exceptional World of Magic!
Of Light and Darkness combines a spectacular world of magic set in modern times with characters you can't help but love. The narrator did a wonderful job drawing us into the book and bringing the characters, especially Valek, to life, I can't wait for book two!
