One Dark Window

De: Rachel Gillig

Narrado por: Lisa Cordileone

For fans of Uprooted and For the Wolf comes a dark, lushly gothic fantasy about a maiden who must unleash the monster within to save her kingdom. But the monster in her head isn't the only threat lurking.

Elspeth needs a monster. The monster might be her.

Elspeth Spindle needs more than luck to stay safe in the eerie, mist-locked kingdom of Blunder—she needs a monster. She calls him the Nightmare, an ancient, mercurial spirit trapped in her head. He protects her. He keeps her secrets.

But nothing comes for free, especially magic.

When Elspeth meets a mysterious highwayman on the forest road, her life takes a drastic turn. Thrust into a world of shadow and deception, she joins a dangerous quest to cure Blunder from the dark magic infecting it. Except the highwayman just so happens to be the King’s own nephew, Captain of the most dangerous men in Blunder…and guilty of high treason.

He and Elspeth have until Solstice to gather twelve Providence Cards—the keys to the cure. But as the stakes heighten and their undeniable attraction intensifies, Elspeth is forced to face her darkest secret yet: the Nightmare is slowly, darkly, taking over her mind. And she might not be able to stop him.

“HARTH” not “HERTH”

The story was five stars. Amazing. I was hooked from the beginning. The performance was very annoying. The voices for men sounded like whiny little girls, and the number of times the word “hearth” was in this book was maddening enough, but she pronounces it “herth” every time, and I wanted to quit the audio and just buy the book.
Overall a 5 star read. Would recommend reading the actual book though.

Favorite book of the year, hands down!

This was incredible. I have been in the worst reading slump of my life and this book cured it. From the eerie, gothic atmosphere to the blush-inducing romantic tension, Gillig has crafted a masterpiece. This book is a fantastic gem and I’m waiting eagerly for the next book!

So unique!

Love the magic system in this. I very much enjoyed this.
Looking forward to the second !!

CHILLS

I need the second book now!

This was so good. So unexpected and so engaging. I admit, it took me about 3min to get into it, from then on I ignored my life to finish this book.
Bring me book 2 ASAP!

Hauntingly Good
