Publisher's summary

An unremembered past. A deadly power. A destiny she never saw coming....

Nic Rutherford is tired of feigning a normal life. She’d rather embrace her strange ability to track local predators and kill them with a kiss. And when her best friend dies, she demands a secretive werewolf help her cross the veil to bring the dead girl back.

When her shifter partner reveals the truth behind Nic’s forgotten history, she pushes further into the treacherous Fae realm. But when she trains with the Wild Hunt warriors, she may be signing a magical contract with deathly consequences....

Will Nic unlock the mystery of her former life, or will sinister forces swallow her soul forever?

The Goodnight Kiss is the first darkly violent book in the Unseelie Court urban fantasy series. If you like vigilante justice, relentless heroes, and graphic scenes, then you’ll love Gwen Rivers’ thrilling and explicit tale.

A fantastic exciting storyline!

Perfect for fans of fantasy with a completely original story. The MC isn’t a whiny typical heroine and I loved her steely attitude. I can’t wait for more. I also enjoyed the narration it flowed perfectly.

Great Adventure In The Fae World!

The Goodnight Kiss by Gwen Rivers is a great paranormal fantasy in the Fae world.
Amazing detail and character depth. I loved the unique twist with different pantheons. The characters were well written and very likable.
I really enjoyed this adventure and looking forward to continuing this series!!

Mashed of mythology

It is amazing how the story is able to connect various mythology together. The narrator did a good job too.

The Unseelie Court

I really enjoyed this book. I love the way Jennifer mixed up the shifter, Faerie and Gods in this story. It kept me listening long past when I should have been getting ready for bed....it has that just one more chapter type of story!

Fantastic

This book was just as good as the first 3 books of Gwen's I have read! I will continue the series and keep an eye out for all Gwen's books! I like the style of writing and the small steamy moments.

LOVE 💘love 💘love 💘

Holy crap. I love fantasy and sci-fi books. I always have. But after reading a lot of them, I sometimes I notice there's a lot of similarities and repeating ideas,plots, and details. But this book has to be one of the most original fantasy book I've ever read/listened to. I would LOVE an opportunity to listen and review the next book! Oh and the narrator was amazing. I actually thought there were two narrators at one point because her male voice was awesome. I tried to do the male voice and it was aweful. My husband was cracking up! But anyway, this is a fabulous book and I highly recommended!

This audiobook was given to me at my request.(Thanx Story Origin). I am providing a honest and voluntary review.

5 stars are not enough!!!

Wow! What a read! The author has done a great job combining fey lore with Scandinavian Mythology and delivered a highly engrossing and addictive read. The story is dark, twisted, full of mystery, suspense, intrigue and a romance that took my breath away. Nothing is revealed from the start. Nic's past is uncovered bit by bit, through narrations and flashbacks. Nothing is as it seems, there are layers upon layers that hide the truth. I really adored this story! I can't wait to get my hands on the next installment!!!

As far as the audibook is concerned, it was an amazing experience. The narrator did a wonderful job in bringing the story and characters to life.

It does not get any better than this series

Such a excellent book. The narrator nailed how the characters interact and what their personalities were.
Nic is a young woman with several gifts . Beauty , first and foremost is one of her most deadly . Older men who prey on very young woman are her forte. Her good nite kiss sealed the deal , killing them , when they try to hurt the fairer sex. But their is so much more to this story . Nic is a true immortal queen of the fae , protected by the fates , hunted by the wild hunt ... and bound to a sexy big black wolf . It doesn’t get any better .

Light and dark

The story is both darkness and light. I like the otherworldly aspect to this story. The goodnight kiss is certainly a final kiss. I love how long the story was and it was difficult to put down, but I had to. I got this book from storyorgins and this is my voluntary and honest review.
