Magdalene Nox

The Headmistress, Book 2

By: Milena McKay

Narrated by: Abby Craden

Magdalene Nox doesn't cast wishes upon stars . . .

She simply makes them happen. But for this particular wish, she had waited for thirty years. Her retribution against those who discarded her three decades ago should be swift and simple.

Except a chance encounter and an unforgettable night turn her entire life upside down. Torn between vengeance and lust, Magdalene is forced to reevaluate everything.

Can the Home of Dragons and lonely math teacher Sam Threadneedle—who finds herself stranded amidst longing and fury—withstand the storm that is Magdalene Nox, or will any and all be consumed by the flames of revenge?

Not everything is as it seems, and as Magdalene returns to the place that left her wounded and lost all those years ago, she realizes that old oak and stone hide more than secrets and pain. They also hold forgiveness and love.

Contains mature themes.

And another one!

Melina McKay and Abby Craden are a match made in heaven! The Headmistress is one of my favorite books and Abby‘s narration made it one of my absolute favorite audiobooks! That being said I thoroughly enjoyed Magdalene‘s point of view in this book. Having listened to The Headmistress way too many times to count, I was able to figure out that there was two points where Abby narrated a line in the wrong characters voice.

Overall, I will say this is one of the best different point of view books that I have “read “. Melina wrote this book in a way that made you interested in the story all over again without it sounding repetitive. It gives you a new appreciation for Magdalene’s experience. It is so worth the read!

Awesome 2nd Book!

Honestly, this was the story I never knew I wanted or needed. At first I was disappointed that it wasn’t a sequel but I quickly got over it and dove right in with characters that I loved from the first book. Having Magdalene’s view point made this story even better. Milena Mckay does not disappoint. Of course Abbey Craden does a phenomenal job again!

Such good ingredients and execution!

Oh Milena, Milena. What a delightful writer you are! Your stories are like a fine wine, only getting better with each sip. And Abby, oh Abby, your narration was like music to my ears. Thank you for bringing these beautiful words to life with such grace and emotion. This audiobook was a true delight. Bravo to both of you!

She does it again!

What a great addition to her book library. I love Milenas writing stile/characters. Abbey Craden voice is magical.

one of the best duos of all time

Mclay and Craden never disappoint. incredibly well done followup to The Headmistress and 5 stars for everything!

Fantastically voiced marvelous book

Abby Craden does a fantastic job voicing all the characters in this book, and what an absolutely brilliant story this is. Milena McKay does write fantastic stories, and this is one of my favorites. It’s the telling of The Headmistress from the point of view of Magdalene Nox. If you aren’t sure whether it’s worth reading/listening to the same story let me assure you that it most definitely is.

Magdalene's POV

Amazing companion to The Headmistress. It was so great to experience the story through Magdalene's eyes, and see how everything affected her.
Readers absolutely need to have read The Headmistress before enjoying this book, as it's written with the presumption that the readers know what's happening at any given point, and doesn't go into too much detail in scenes that have already played out in the first book.

Sam and the head mistress

I did not like the fact that this book was basically a recap of the first book, ‘the headmistress’

Amazing!!!

Abby Craden!!

I absolutely adore everything she narrates. She brings the characters to life for me. I wasn’t sure if this was going to be an enjoyable book seeming to know everything from the first book but I was mistaken. We learned. more about Magdalen
