Publisher's Summary

For the first time ever, get all four books of The Forsaken Saga in one complete box set. Join Nora and Hunter as they go on a magical journey of love and adventure in a beautiful supernatural world!

Nora Colburn was perfectly content in life. A junior in high school, she had good friends, a great family, and did well in school. Nothing particularly exciting ever happened where she lived, and everything was stable.

But that all drastically changes when a new student arrives at Nora's school. Wild rumors swirl about his past, and Nora becomes determined to find out the truth.

As she gets to know the mysterious student, he shares with her an ancient secret... one that may yet put both of them in grave danger.

And for the first time in her life, Nora is exposed to a completely unfamiliar world. She is swept away on an exhilarating journey that takes her to a place where romance and great destiny may yet await... and where supernatural powers run wild.

Left with wish for more detailed ending

I'm not going to do a full review as I do not have time to do so. My attention was caught in book one, book two started to lose my attention some with a huge descent going onward. I always try to force myself to read/listen to entirety of books because often you lose interest only to later be captured and sometimes more so than before. This was the case only slightly at times and for brief periods. I kept waiting to get dragged back into it but that never came. I was dreading the time to finish it and often fell asleep having had 2+ hours gone by then having to try to find where I left off. The ending was very disappointing for me. I had a hard time going from a major part of this book the the extremely brief ending. There should have at least been a short portion speaking about how she learned the ropes of taking over and how she became close to her mother and speaking of parents last we heard was Raphael ran off, where did he end up? He didn't abandon his daughter out of hate or having not loved her. Too many questions were left at the end of this book. I did not like it at all, it actually made me mad.. I did not feel closure at the end. The narrator did well, it was the story itself

Very immature even for YA

I’m not even finished with this book and I purchased it not expecting a whole lot but this was written so immaturely! It’s like the actions of the main character are so far from what a normal 17 year old would do. Also she is written like how a little girl would act. I’m disappointed so far in this book. I bought this for a easy listen in the background while I do other things but I became so annoyed by the narrator I had to eventually turn it off before I finished. I’m a huge fan of paranormal/urban fantasy/ romance and YA and that’s all I listen to, this was the first book I’ve stopped listening to before it finished. Just a warning for anyone looking for another good YA/paranormal romance THIS IS WRITTEN FOR 6ths graders not actual 18 year olds.

Save your credits!

This book is like bad fan fiction of Twilight.

I love YA books but this one was written, as another reviewer wrote, “immaturely”. The vocabulary was very basic. The plot was generic. The narration was weak.

Actually, the narrators voice ended up being the straw that broke the camels back. I returned the book. I couldn’t finish it.

thumbs up

A great story! Twists all throughout the plot with an unexpected but superb finish. excellent.

worst book I have ever attempted to read

Too many potholes, contradicting aspects storyline, and way too fast. There was no time relationship developed between Hunter and Nora. I felt like I was reading a book written by a fifteen-year-old Twilight fan. She's a stick to an idea when writing instead of jumping around everywhere. There were certain Concepts that would have worked had the writer allowed the story to develop at a better place and if there we're not so many things in the story that made no sense or that count addicted other portions of it. If you're going to have characters that are 400 years old talking then you need to use the dialogue properly. And there were times when the world was thinking where she was using language that a 17 year old not use. I can complain more but I think I'll just leave it at that.

very good but " I think" it could have been great.

The only reason I give you any suggestions on this series of books is because you are a good. "I think" you could be great if you're a little more careful not to repeat the same words. Someone over 400 years of experience would be a little more mature. Over all I enjoyed the series. thanks.

god awful narration

Story is fine, but narraration is the worst overdramatized bit of high pitched silly voice I have ever heard.

I loved it

I almost didn’t get this one due to bad reviews. Well I went ahead and got it and LOVED it! Those bad reviewers missed out on a good read and a fun book. Go for it...you’re gonna love Gray!

Great story

Great story line, but not a fan of the narrator. She doesn’t change characters well.

ridiculously anti-climactic story

you keep listening expecting some sort of a build up but no. its same old story throughout the whole book with a girl wallowing in self pity through it all... youd expect some sort of a twist... oh yea.. there is one at the end but its so cliche and meaningless that it seems as if it was thrown in as an after-thought.

12year old

Totally rubbish. Think it’s written for 12year olds. Story is completely pointless. Save your credits buy another book

fantastic and gripping!

loved it, this story had me gripped from the start, it was written well and surprised me throughout, exciting!!

the story has potential

I've enjoyed the narrative , but the main character is a bit repetitive and could have been a little bit more developed. the book has a nice ending, I would have liked to have a bit more detail.

brilliant and gripping

I usually use Audible to fall asleep, as I suffer from insomnia sometimes, in this case sleep didn't happen as I wanted to know what happened to Nora, Hunter, Grey and the others and found that I couldn't fall asleep, I was listening to this story not only at night, but driving my kids places (to their annoyance at first), when in waiting rooms, while cooking and sitting in the garden this is a brilliant book and good to listen to a can't put down some would say - oh and my kids well they have a kindle each which is on my account and yes can't play in the car unless on my phone and in my ears as they have started listening too so that is a really big thumbs up too 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 well worth the price 😀😀😀😀😀😀

Great light listen

This box set is a great light listen is is full of adventure drama and an underlying love story. Suitable for teens and adults I would recommend it to all well worth a listen.
I loved it
