For nearly four-hundred years, the Veil has protected us from the Fae of Alfheimr. In their absence, our lives have shifted from decadence and sin to survival and virtue under the guidance of the New Gods. I’ve spent my entire life tending to the gardens next to the boundary between our worlds, drawn to the shimmering magic like a moth to the flame. All of that changes the day the Veil shatters, unleashing the fae upon our world once again.

Horrible, immature, confusing excuse of a book
Reviewed: 06-13-23
This should be a book in college for professors to use as, “what not to do in a novel”.
The attraction between the two leads is shoved down your throat while the storyline suffers. Felt like a middle school girl wrote this.
This book is trash.

Refreshing and witty. Narrators on point with various characters. Could’ve skipped the sexual scenes and been much better.

When DI Barton is asked to investigate a seemingly innocuous fire that kills, he believes it's either children fooling around or a worrying racially motivated crime. As he delves deeper into the case, he soon realises that there is a history of similar blazes spread out over many years, all within a close area. An idea suggested by pathologist Mortis makes Barton suspect he has the arsonist’s motives wrong.

Too much circling
Reviewed: 05-30-23
I’m not sure what happened with this fourth book, but it was bad. I loved the first three and thought I’d found a new series. I tried but failed to get into this one. Too much stimuli without tie up. I put this down several times and tried to start fresh but literally lost faith in even caring. Whole half of book was introduction to half a dozen possible characters, several fires, drugs, and…repeat. Do not waste time on this book.

Ellen's therapist told her to forget the past, but the life she’s left with is boring. All she wants is to be happy and normal, but the approaching long, bleak nights of winter loom heavy before her, especially as she'll be alone.

This was best book yet! The characters have been built in books 1 & 2, which helped this book rock. This book flowed more for me because it was all based around the killings and detective work. We know the characters and now can dive into the crime cases. We’ll done

Reviewed: 07-26-18
If it weren’t for Zachary Webber’s readings I would have stopped this book in the first chapter. CJ Bloom’s narrative was painful to listen to. I couldn’t tell when the character was thinking or talking. She yelled and spoke in non relative tones to the story. I actually skipped through some parts out of frustration.

He taught me to kill. Murder is in my blood now. It runs through my veins and though I hide the monster I see in the mirror with ink, it doesn't keep him from coming out. My street name is Mercy, but I never show any. Except for her. I watch Becca, though she doesn't know. She saved me a long time ago; the day my father killed my mother. Her bravery turned her into a target. My father holds a grudge and knife with the same proficiency, and Becca is the focus of his hatred. And I'm the only monster who can save her.

Repeat listen!
Loved the dark makings of Fenix, aka "Mercy" aka "Nix". The book is wonderful...Debra Anastasia does an exceptional job cranking up this characters appeal. Zachary Webber is spectacular as always with capturing Mercy's tone and mannerism. I missed the book and Mercy after finishing. I have listened to this book more than once and have no doubt, I will many more times in the future.

I won my first fight when I was 11 years old, and I've been throwing punches ever since. Fighting is the purest, truest, most elemental thing there is. Some people describe heaven as a sea of unending white, where choirs sing and loved ones await. But for me, heaven was something else. It sounded like the bell at the beginning of a round, and it tasted like adrenaline. For me, heaven was the octagon. Until I met Millie, and heaven became something different. I became something different.

Thank GOD, I can go back and listen to this book...because I miss the story and its character connections, as soon as I finished. This book is outstanding. Its emotionally charged and includes every human emotion possible; I laughed out loud, blushed, raged with anger, went through every stage of grief. I love Tag and Millie. Zachary Webber was exceptional as usual. Amy Harmon has moved to my favorite author after listening to The Song of David. The strong connection to the characters had me stopping and listening to songs mentioned...which puts the reader/me into the story even more.
It's taken me two days to even sit down to write this review because I am still emotional. Beautiful story! Beautiful characters! I laughed out loud throughout first part of story but also cried for ten chapters straight. I was NOT ready for the story to end. I have already listened to the book again. This book is a diamond.

Damian Tate. One look into his sad green eyes and I was hooked. I wanted to be the one to make him laugh, to make him smile. I hadn't expected him to be the one to make me blush, to make me hot...to make me fall in love. He was my first kiss, my first love, my first everything. I wanted forever with him, but life got in the way.

Worst narrator I have ever tried to listen too!
I feel bad...this could have possibly been a great book, had I have read it myself. Fingernails down a chalkboard response for me, every time the narrator spoke. I had this 8 months before I finished it. I only did that out of complete boredom in car sometimes. I could only take so much of the narrators voice before shutting it off each time. Will make note and NEVER buy book narrated by Tracy Marks again!

Skipped through more than listened too this book!
Reviewed: 07-08-18
I am in desperation for a good book series, that is going to be my excuse for even purchasing this book! In the first book, Drantos, the repetition and wimpy lead female character made it rough to get through. BUT the story has so much potential to be great with all the different breeds...I keep holding out thinking it will get better. This second book was horrid! I know story's have villains/characters people "love to hate" but there was nothing about the lead female in this book that is remotely appealing. She is neither funny or likable AT ALL. The constant bitching was intolerable. The build up for this character in first book wasn't even appealing. Feel like the author wanted the readers to really like this character but she dropped the ball delivering her. This lead lady would have been better off dying in plane crash at beginning of book!
The best thing about this book was the narrator, Savannah Richards.
