Genevieve Buchanan inherited a castle—and a ghost to go along with it. But Kendrick de Piaget was no typical ghost. He was a handsome and infuriatingly arrogant 13th-century knight. At first, he wanted to frighten Genevieve, though she was more charmed than scared by his ghostly tricks. But when his thoughts turned to wooing her instead, Genevieve had to face her greatest fear: falling in love.

I'm not all that special, really. I'm sure there are a lot of girls with old gypsy blood who see the dead, have killer cults hunting their family, and turn into something that gets scary when they panic. Yep. I'm just an ordinary girl. I wish people would believe that. I've been labeled as one thing or another for most of my life: Death Girl. Crazy Gypsy Girl. Gothic Chick. Monster. It took my mother's death for me to finally start getting answers about what's really been going on. Unfortunately, most of the answers come from men...who aren't just men.

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
I have loved this story for years. Absolutely could not stand narration.
Would you be willing to try another one of Laura Jennings’s performances?
I would never buy another book narrated by this performer.

One of my favorite series, but terrible narration
I love these books and have been waiting for them to be available in audio for years. I was so excited to see this one and immediately bought it and pre-ordered the next one. I almost couldn't finish it.
I love Miach and was really looking forward to him being brought to life in audio, but the narration was terrible. The narrator's voice is flat and stilted and mostly emotionless. She pauses in the middle of every sentence which makers it hard to listen to. I love the story so I finished it anyway. I've read the books numerous times because I love visiting this world, but I don't think I'll be able to listen to this a second time.
I really hope the narration is better for the second book.

Easy to follow. Characters well developed. The world wasn't too fleshed out and story is slowly developed. The romance part was subtle and sweet but not nauseating. Excellent read for teens and young adults.

I enjoyed listening to her
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

My favorite of her 9 kingdom series
What did you love best about Star of the Morning?
The interactions of the main characters
What was one of the most memorable moments of Star of the Morning?
There are many.
Which character – as performed by Laura Jennings – was your favorite?
All of the characters
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Just glad it was finally out in audio. I look forward to listening to more in this series. Morgan's comments about the king (who was under cover through part of the book) were pretty funny.
Any additional comments?
Lynn Kurland's fantasy series runs in trilogies. This is the first one. I highly recommend it if you like fantasy, strong female characters, romance, and lots of action.

Such a wonderful start to a wonderful series
A romantic fantasy, full of richly developed characters. As Morgan regains her memories, she struggles to understand what is happening. Miach falling in love with her struggles between duty to the realm and his desire to protect and support Morgan. The narration was very good. Good character voices and rhythm that pull you into the story.

Morgan's story
The story has long been a favorite of mine. I found the reader a bit "whispery" with little variation between characters or mood, but she may develop that in time. I assume she got the pronunciation of proper names from the author...not what I had been using in my head, but it is the author who counts.
