Love it

I absolutely love this series. The author did such a great job writing this book and narrator did an amazing job bringing the character to life. I honestly was hooked from the start of this book till I finished it and would highly recommend this book to be read

Wonderful Story

The characters really came to life due to excellent Narrator's! The story held my attention and curiosity. I enjoyed the affection the H and h developing between them. Chuckling incidents between them... hilarious. looking forward to Book 2!

Absolutely Wonderful Listen/ Read!!

I have Never read or listened to this author before, got the book on Audible and listened to it there. Narrator was Excellent and brought the storyline to life. I found this Author's sense of humor so good, just a hoot!! The inner monologue Pell has throughout the book made me laugh more times then I can say. Pell the Main Character is quite a Character and she has the same deep streak of Curiositie as myself which just made me laugh all the more.
Highly recommended this Story and really want to listen to the 2nd book in this Series.

Better than Baklava

Empire of Ash (God of Secrets #1) is better than baklava or Mythos beer.

L. R. W. Lee has buried some magical artifacts into this story, and I'm thrilled to have started to unearth them. Harpoc, Mister Ancient Sexy Bod God of Secrets, and Pellucid Rose make a dynamic pair. I'm ready to dig into the full site and discover the rest of the treasures yet to come.

If you can, listen to the audio version. The storyline is gold, but the silver-lining that makes the main female character shine is the voice of Narrator Sarah Kisko. She really breathes life into Pell.

Notable Quote:
'I look down, busying myself zipping my own jacket. Pugh, I stink. He wrinkles his nose, and I laugh. But the next thing I know, the smell of jasmine replaces puke.
“Much better,” he says.
I don’t disagree.'

Romantic, funny and exciting !

I enjoyed this one. New author and narrator to me but nicely done. Spunky heroine, exciting plot twists and good narration, id like to listen to part 2 !

Just when you think it's over

So many things happen in the book from the adventure to the mythological creatures to the God's to the many kept secrets and so much more. I was hooked from start to finish wanting to know everything Pal did and feeling like I learned so much. There was a lot of information in this book, too much for me to retain, that it still fascinated me as to how much I still didn't know but that I was curious to see how everything was connected. Archeology has always been a mystery to me and I wondered the stories behind it. this was an insight. Anyway, these two characters are amazing. Their first one is over so quick that you wonder how there is more to the story, but their adventures continue along with their banter, her growing desire, and his secrecy. It's worth the listen and leaves you wanting to know what adventures await in book 2.

This narrator was new to me but she was great. She gave each character their own personality and, when needed, an accent. you could tell who was talking and even new characters had their own uniqueness. I enjoyed her and look forward to her work in the future.

Great New Series

I love the snarky attitude that the narrator easily conveys through the use of her voice. Pal gets into various difficult situations throughout this book when her curiosity and intelligence get the better of her.

Fun read

Young adult book with some bipolar tendencies. I had a bit of a hard time deciding if I like this book but despite myself I enjoyed it. The story line is fun and I’m curious about where it will go. If you can get past constant “inner voice” dialogue and the occasional feminist rant it’s good. Overall I would recommend to anyone liking this genre.

Great beginning

This is a new author and narrator to me. Love the character development and plot detail. Can't wait to see more work from them both.

Great Mythology Lesson

I received this audiobook free for an honest review as a member of the Pink Flamingo Productions Review Team. The author gives the listener a lesson in mythology that I can understand and keeps my interest. Loved the theme of this story. Pell is so down to earth with her clumsiness and internal dialogue. She is so naive. In comes her knight in shining armor. The romance between these two is great for young adult reading/listening. The thrill and suspense of their story keeps you on the edge of your seat and your attention from beginning to end. There is also some enjoyable humor. The narrator did a good job with the characters, their voices, and their personalities.
