These Wicked Delights

De: Jessi Elliott

Narrado por: Paige Harper

When eighteen-year-old Emery Leclerc is taken from her home by a man who claims she has magical powers, she isn’t sure who to call first: the police or the psych ward.

After discovering that the magic running through her veins is the reason her parents died years ago, Emery wants nothing to do with it. She’d like nothing more than to return to her boring, small-town life. But left unchecked, her newly awakened abilities prove dangerous. She must learn to control her magic or risk having it consume her—and dying before making it out of high school would seriously suck.

Unfortunately for Emery, learning magic isn’t as easy as her new housemates make it seem. As her frustration grows, she learns that, while she may not want her magic, there’s a Wielder who does… and the hauntingly familiar and wickedly charming Remington will do whatever it takes to have it. As Emery battles him, she struggles to unravel the truth about her magical block and the undeniable pull she feels towards her enemy.

They say the truth will set you free, but for Emery, it could be the very thing that kills her.

Narrator was amazing!

This was a great YA story. I listened to the audio version and I couldn't stop listening. The story is captivating but the narrator did a phenomenal job. Her voice, first of all, is great. But she really brought the story to life with the differentiating voices for the characters. She really captured the personality of each character and tone of the scenes perfectly. I just knew Remington was going to be the way to go in this story. The story was suspenseful and kept me guessing. I listened to this one as a palate cleanser in between some of my darker reads and it was really enjoyable. Definitely give this one a listen!

A paranormal fantasy

I thoroughly enjoyed the narrator of this audiobook. They were incredibly pleasing to the ear and made the story truly come to life. I loved the dynamic of the FMC with the MMC. This was definitely a delightful enemies to lovers trope. I love a good clean contemporary closed door, young adult read. This book had its heart wrenching moments and the feeling of loss was definitely felt in the writing style Jessi used. I honestly wish this was a series, as I wanted more! I think this was a fabulous read and I really enjoyed it!
