Symphony of Light and Winter

Publisher's Summary

Symphony of Light and Winter, Book #1

A paranormal series from 2016 Audie Award Winners - Renea Mason, Noah Michael Levine and Erin deWard.

Love never dies, but sometimes it plays dead.

For Linden Hill, life was predictable - go to work, an occasional drink with friends, and repeat - until one unexpected night when she finds herself face-to-face with her past - all six-foot-five-inches of sex-god perfection she once knew as Cyril. The problem? He died. Or so she thought.

But Linden's long-lost love isn't welcoming her with open arms. Fueled by suspicion and doubt, their turbulent re-acquaintance drives Cyril to desperate acts. The chance at renewing their love is jeopardized, pulling Linden into his war with supernatural rivals hell-bent on his destruction.

Defeating the enemy seems easy compared to surviving each other. With hunger threatening to consume them, and love begging to endure, can Linden learn to accept who she must become to save them both?

"Sexy, fun and so creative it makes my head spin! I'd read the damn phone book if Renea Mason wrote it." - Bestselling author Robyn Peterman

Symphony of Light and Winter had suspense, action, romance, an abundance of steam, and lots of attitude. It will grab your attention right away and keep it until the end. There will be no setting this one aside. Not a chance!" – (Crazy for Books)

"Renea Mason's book has everything you could want--a unique world, ...a gripping plot, and seamless writing..." - (Book Bliss)

Well done

I am so glad this book is finally in audio. The narration team did a phenomenal job with voicing the characters. DeWard did a spot-on Linden, and Levine moved easily from the snotty Overton to the gruff and perpetually angry Cyril. Symphony was the first book I ever read by this author, and I've read all of her books, since. The inclusion of Imposter's Kiss was a nice addition. Great job to all involved in this project. You nailed it!

You don't want to miss out on this book.

You don't want to miss out on this book. This book was different from any other I have read. I like to go into books with an open mind so I don't read reviews or the book summary. So with that said I kind of thought it would be a paranormal shape-shifter book, that was not the case. He was immortal and some had special powers.

To me this story was the ULTIMATE LOVE STORY and so much more. I don't read romance books because of the insta-love but that was not the case with this book. You got to see their love grow for each other and not just that but you got to see all that went on while they were apart and how it brought them back together. I was in LOVE with this book. I can tell you right now this is not a one time read. I read this book from start to finish with no breaks in between. I could not put it down. It took me over a day to even write this review because it's hard to express just how great I thought this book was. I think this is the best book I've read all year. I can't wait for the next book in the series to come out. I'm so excited to see what will happen next. I think Renea Mason really showed just how talented she is with this book. An excellent listen. I just loved this book so so much.

The narration was great. I love Erin deWard's voice. They both really bring the characters to life and make you fell part of the story.

A story of friendship

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would definitely recommend this book to a friend that was open to reading not only a fabulous story but some very hot steamy scenes.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Linden was definitely my favorite character mainly because we got to feel so much of her emotion.

What does Noah Michael Levine and Erin deWard bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The narration team made this audio book for me they could not have done a better job of bringing those characters to life it was a beautiful marriage of words and reading.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Some of both

Any additional comments?

Well worth the listen.

This Is The One You Want

Having read the ebook first, I didn't think audio would add to the experience but I was so wrong. I'm glad I tried! The narrators add real depth to the characters that my mind washed over as I tore through the book. I sure do like Clarence more than I did in the book. Cyril is sexy as hell and larger than life. Linden is sassy and as in charge of her life as one can be around supernatural men. :) The two have immediate chemistry and the narrators really bring that out. I listened to it while at work and had to keep the volume down even though I use headphones, it's that steamy. Excellent narrative, excellent writing and characterization. <3

Spectacular

I had read this book before I listened to it and I have to say that listening brought it to a whole new level. I loved this book. Cyril and his family are bigger than life in their otherworldly way. The story takes Linden and Cyril on a journey through so many trials. You learn so many things about how their lives have intertwined. Amazing story.
Noah Michael Levine does a phenomenal job with all the accents and the story. He brings Cyril and the other characters to life.
Erin Deward did a phenomenal job also. She brought out Linden's tough and soft side brilliantly.
I would highly recommend this author and narrators. They are great.

Wow I'm just speechless. I 💜 Symphony of Light and Winter. The back and forth banter between Lindel and Cyril was amazing. The narrator's did an awesome job. Between the writing an the narrator's I felt like I was watching it plan out on the big screen. And the ending left me screaming for more👏👏👏

Wonderful New Series, Very Unique!

I need to start by saying that I LOVED this book!!!! It was different from any other PNR I've read before! The characters are realistic, bad ass, loving and flawed! The story was a little confusing but in a good way and enough to make me not want to stop until I knew every detail!!! Cyril is hot, possessive and seriously devoted to his friends & Linden!!! Linden is a little lost but still very tough especially considering her past. Together these two are off the charts hot, they are a seriously powerful couple and their relationship is the definition of destiny!!!

The action, suspense, angst and romance/sex in this book was perfect!!!! I loved that the characters were all weaved into each others lives over and over again! I also enjoyed the "past" chapters, It made the story so much better for me to get the back story in a memory rather than an explanation. I love the twist in the end and can't wait for book 2!

The narration is incredible! Noah & Erin have a chemistry that made these characters walk right out of this book and into my heart! The voices Noah gave to Cyril, Overton & Michael made it seem like three different men were narrating! (Michael's voice was my favorite).

This is my 3rd Renea Mason book & seconds Noah/Erin narration and I LOVE LOVE LOVE them all! I will read ANYTHING Renea writes and listen to ANYTHING Noah & Erin narrate together!

THIS IS A MUST LISTEN AUDIOBOOK!

Symphonic Delight

I don't normally gravitate to paranormal stories. I listened to the contemporary/ erotica series that Renea offers. I really enjoyed them. I LOVED this one. It made me ugly cry in the car. Very rare has a book or audiobook done that. I was in love with the characters' strength and grace. Cyril and Liden's story played out like a beautiful orchestration. I am sad the book ended on a cliff hanger and excited to know there is more at the same time.
The bonus material of Imposters' Kiss was hot. I loved a little more insight of Cyril.

Best audiobook yet!

I loved this book! This audio book performance is the best I have heard yet! The dual narrators Noah Miachael Levine and Erin deWard give a stunning performance making me feel like I am really there watching as the story unfolds. The performance is heart felt and filled with emotions, so much so that you can even hear one of the narrators crying.

This story is the most fantastic paranormal read I have ever read! It has danger, suspense, romance, lots of steamy hot sex and loads of emotions. The author, Renea Mason is a superb writer and can tell a story that is always one of a kind. The narrators as awesome as they are, are explosive when they read material written by Ms Mason.

If this book doesn't win an audie award, I don't know what will as this story combined with the performances can keep anyone warm and comforted. Even if you read this book in eBook format, it comes to life like a whole new story when read in audio format. The bonus story, Impostor's kiss is even more incentive to read this book. What a wonderful surprise this was!!!

Homerun once again

Renea has given us another masterpiece here. This PNR romance has the perfect amount of mystery, suspense, heat and intrigue. I love the picture that is painted here. The character development is fantastic. I absolutely cannot wait to read more. When reading Renea's work, you can tell that she puts so much thought into the timing. I feel like just the right amount of info is given out at just the right time. Really- every book has been a pleasure to read.

I cannot say enough how much I LOVE the narration by Erin deWard and Noah Michael Levine. I fell in love with them while listening to the Good Doctor Series. That in my mind gave them a challenge as it was a hard performance to live up to. They absolutely have not disappointed me one bit. Erin deWard's narration..... there are not words. Her voice is perfect for audiobooks. It is so pleasurable to listen to. Not only does she have a fabulous voice but her narrations are some of the best i have EVER heard. You can tell that she puts so much soul and personality into her narrations. She is fabulous! You can tell she loves what she does- She has made a fan for life. I can not leave out Noah Michael Levine. A lot of what i said about Erin could just as easily be said about Noah. The feeling in his narrations- the personality- the growls - the gasping- This team takes narration to such an elevated level . Thank you soo much for the amazing work you do.
