House of Shifter and Smoke

Shades of Ruin and Magic, Book 3

De: Meg Xuemei X

Narrado por: Victoria Mei

Killian

Soon, I’ll have to marry the most powerful queen and rule two kingdoms.

But all I want is Barbie, the new girl in my house and the only thing I can’t have.

If I take her for my own, she’ll be murdered.

I know I should stay away from her, but I no longer can, even if the kingdoms collapse and the world burns as a consequence.

I might be the villain in the story, but without her, there’s no meaning to my brutal, miserable existence.

So, I start to push her to the breaking point so she can survive the bride trials and rise above it all.

Only I don’t expect it to hurt so much to see my rivals, the other heirs, swoop in to try to make her theirs.

Victoria Mei is the real star here!! Her narration of all the characters is nothing short of fabulous. She has been consistent from book 1 with her portrayal of Barbie and Sy and even the heirs!

Killian and Barbie get closer, the plot against Barbie gets more sinister and Sy is back !

I'm a little annoyed that this ended in yet another cliffhanger because of where it ends off. Also how is Sy getting her HEA if Barbie is with Killian?
Where is this storyline headed? Will this be a reverse harem situation? That seems the only way this can end.

This reader needs answers! Well done Meg.. you hooked me good!

Cliffhanger

One hell of a cliffhanger . I can't wait for the next book. Barbie , how will her world change after this revelation

the narrative and plot

how the next book seamlessly goes into the next book in the series a must read

The plot

The writing was terrible but the story line was great . It didn’t translate well . There’s a good story there though

The intrigue continues

Victoria Mei kept me engaged throughout the book with her wonderful and emotional narration. I love this series and highly recommend it

Barbie kicks ASS!

So first of all I LOVE Meg Xuemei X writing! Her imagination is through the roof! I have all of her books!
Victoria Mei is one of my top 5 narraters!

Be Best

Oh my goodness! The ending is going to drive me crazy for the wait. I Love Meg! She is one of my favorites. A great story teller. Victoria is one of my favorite narrators. I'm salivating for the fourth book. Out of all the characters in the book, Sy is my favorite! Tits Up lol.

This is Excellent! *chef’s kiss*

Wow!! *chef’s Kiss*. I have not listened to book 1 or 2 but that doesn’t stop me from becoming INVESTED in these characters (said in high falsetto voice)! OH MY Gosh I loved it sooo much! The story line, the world building and of course those wonderful characters. This has ALL those magical paranormal creatures that are so fun and add craziness to stories. I look forward to the next to see what can and will happen.

I listened to this on audio. Victoria Mei does an exceptional job narrating this one. There are a ton of characters in here that she voices and I am always WOWED at her talent.
