Shunned by her mother Brianna and the magical bureau Hexa, she runs away from home, only to fall into the hands of ghastly monsters from the Nine Hells.

Love it

This was a great continuation. We get to meet new characters and learn about more magic users

Good story. Good narration.

I am enjoying the relationship between Morgan and Cassius. The side characters have been interesting, but I had a little trouble with Eden. She seems to be a strong confident girl one moment, and a helpless child in the next. I would have liked to get to know her a bit more.

The story has some interesting moments, but I am not sure where the overall plot is going yet. The narration has been enjoyable. The narrator still has pauses in odd places, but his voice is pleasant.

I will probably continue to listen to the rest of the audiobooks as they are released.

Great book in the series

The second book in this series was fantastic. Can’t wait to get the next. Very entertaining and wish it could be movie.

Equally Enjoyable

As the story continues, more characters emerge and make the tale that much more better than the last. Morgan and Cassius keep getting better and now we have Eden and Cedric, not to mention the plot keeps developing…where to next?!

Definitely worth the listen!

It irks me to no end that I cannot give this the full 5 stars I think it deserves. But I just cannot bring myself to do that… Ugh!

The reason I can’t, is because I actually never liked Eden throughout the majority of this book, and I truly feel like this story could have left out her POV and still delivered on all the main plot points and background information.

I really wished that we could have gotten more of Morgan and Cassisus’ back story, but I respect the fact that the author has to do more world building and I have no doubt that everything that happened here will serve a bigger role in the future.

The narration, as with the first book, was spectacular Alex Kydd was perfect in his execution. I swear, the way he reads could make anyone blush lol

On to book 3!
