De: Jasmine Walt, Ines Johnson

Narrado por: Kate Marcin

This box set contains the first three books in the best-selling Nia Rivers Adventures by Jasmine Walt and Ines Johnson. This action-packed series features an immortal archaeologist and her tomb-raiding sidekick as they uncover lost artifacts, tangle with Greek gods, cross swords with Templar Knights, and much more!

The first three books in this box set include:

Book One: Dragon Bones

Meet Nia Rivers: archaeologist, fashionista, and an ancient immortal with a serious memory problem.

For the last couple of centuries, Nia has been trying to fill in the blanks of her past by shedding light on history's darkest stories. Her motto: the ugliest stories are the ones that deserve to be told the most.

But when a mysterious woman comes forth with a 200-year-old relic from Nia's past, Nia isn't sure if the story connected to it is one she wants told to the world. Unfortunately, Nia has no choice but to uncover the truth - fast - before a greedy land developer buries the site forever. The fact that he's also an immortal, with a millennia-old grudge against her, doesn't help. Neither do the dark assassins who have been stalking her for centuries, and who've suddenly decided to up their game to end her life.

Letting her enemies have their way might be best for Nia, especially when the truth might expose a horrific crime from Nia's past. But all stories deserve to be told.

Even the ugliest ones.

Even if they say you might be a mass murderer.

Book Two: Demeter's Tablet

Nia Rivers knows that immortality comes at a cost. So when she finds out that the Greek gods have devised a way to offer everlasting life to humans, she heads down to Athens to find out more about the mysterious cult of Demeter.

What she doesn't expect to learn about is her own involvement in the rituals.

With her bestie, Loren, by her side, Nia must determine if the Olympians are the righteous gods they proclaim to be, or the villains in this chapter of history. The broken heart she's still nursing isn't helping. But if Nia can't get her head in the game, the Titans will rise again, and the souls of all humans on Earth will be at risk....

Book Three: Templar Scrolls

When an ancient relic of Camelot goes missing, who do Arthur and his knights call? Nia Rivers, ancient immortal and archaeologist extraordinaire, of course!

Nia jumps at the chance to go to Camelot, especially since she's been banned in the past. Thankfully, Arthur is willing to let Nia's past breaches of his castle, theft attempts, and a certain debacle with his sword be bygones if she'll help him recover the Holy Grail. But as Nia strives to keep her fingers to herself, enemies from the past resurface in a race to acquire the ancient holy relic.

The performance was disappointing

I liked the concept of the plot at first, but the narrator was distracting. She had a way about her cadence and inflection at times (particularly the final sentence of a chapter) that was very much like computerized gps directions. More than a couple of times she used the wrong voice for the character speaking making it difficult to follow.

Towards the end of the third book I was barely paying attention anymore as the plot had started to flatline. Definitely won’t finish the series.

can't say i enjoyed this

i didnt like the main character, she was too desperate for male attention like if whe didn't have it she cant function right. even with the three books in one i dont think its worth a credit.

This book was okay.

This book was a very steady read. Wasn't too exciting or boring. I didnt mind it but I won't be purchasing anymore of this series.

Amazing value for money

I absolutely adore this series! And what better deal than getting books 1-3 in one bundle? The characters are fantastic and I really enjoyed the premise of the overall storyline and idea for the series. The protagonist was an especially interesting character to get to know. The books were well written, I just didn't love the narrator all that much (but I eentually got used to her style/voice) found that each individual book just got better, and the first one was already a fantastic one to begin with...

adventures, friendship, history, travel, magic

glad I bought the box set. A little slow at first, the character development ended up being great! i love Lauren's character. Good pace for me, not too fast paced but definitely not slow. I wish there were more than these 3 books!!

Nia's amazing adventures, narrators needs help

I loved being taken on the journey with Nia and Lauren. they took us on a knowledge ride in the world of Old.

The narrators South African accent though was more Australian than any Dutch or South African I've ever heard and it was distracting.

I love the adventure

Love the characters, hope the last two books show up on audible soon. The world of Nia Rivers is exciting and unpredictable absolutely love this.

Lovely series!

Engaging, perfectly paced, beautifully narrated, makes you feel truely immersed in the authors world, leaves you begging for more!

not bad

I want a fan of the narrator at first but liked the story so I stuck it out and I'm glad I did

Great story, mediocre narration

The story has a lot going for it: an original story idea, interesting main characters, plot line that has continuity between successive volumes.

My only problem is with the narration. Her cadence is monotonous and while diction is clear her inflection is robotic. Sentences seem to run together, as if there’s no reason to breathe or provide a break between paragraphs.
