Twilight of Embers

By: Tessa Hale

Narrated by: Vanessa Moyen, Joe Arden, Jason Clarke, Connor Crais, Teddy Hamilton, Jacob Morgan

I’d always wondered what it would be like to have a family. I just never expected to find it with five mysterious strangers who have more secrets than I could ever imagine.

Getting a scholarship to Evergreen University and majoring in premed means I need to keep my head down and focus on my studies. But campus is full of distractions…

The football god with his golden retriever charm. The tortured one with his vicious tongue. The broken boy with his determined protectiveness. The merciless billionaire with a penchant for spoiling me. And the genius professor with his brilliant mind.

They make me feel like I belong for the first time since my parents were murdered. And when they touch me, my whole world sparks to flame.

But they have enemies. Those who would give anything to harm what they hold dear. And while they’ll do whatever it takes to keep me safe, sometimes falling in love will put you right in the line of fire…

• Thoughts:
I loved this!!! I couldn't stop listening to this book, and this is part of a trilogy, so it does leave us on a cliffhanger. Totally don't care, and I know I will be re-listen to this before book 2 comes out. The author is new to me as well. I very much enjoyed her writing style, and they way she captures your attention. She immerses you into her world flawlessly. I was so engaged. I can't wait for book 2, and I will definitely be reading Tessa's back list.

Narrators:
This is a full cast and dual style narration. This book is mainly in the POV of Hayden, who was narrated by Vanessa Moyen. Vanessa is new to me, narrator, and she slayed it! I loved listening to her voice and her performance.
Jason Clarke, Connor Crais, Teddy Hamilton, Jacob Morgan, and Joe Arden. I mean, come on! They were incredible.

Perfect Starter Fantasy

The performance was phenomenal! I mean when you have an all star cast like this one it’s going to be good. They all brought this story to life in a way that I throughly enjoyed. I absolutely loved this story and cannot wait for book two!

Twilight of Embers

It will keep you waiting to hear what happens and in the fact you will be happy you chose this book

Good story, couldn’t stop listening!

It does end on a cliffhanger which I didn’t realize until til half way through book 1…
But it was good and I’d still listen again even knowing the 2nd book isn’t out yet.

Audiobook elevated the story

I already knew I loved the story but this all-star narration cast really elevated the experience! Mild complaint is there are some discrepancies between pronunciations between narrators but the differences are small enough that it didn’t impact my listening experience.

Holy Dragon Shifters!

This story was fast paced and a lot of fun! Not super spicy yet, but towards the end we got a sneak peak into what we may get as the series progresses and I’m not mad! This line up of narrators had me reeling!

awesome Start

I loved this first book it was a great start I liked the story a lot

Fun

Gotta love dragons! this was fun to read. Loved all of them from Mr. Grumpy Cat to Killian, Knox, Kale, and Maddox. worth the read.

Absolutely obsessed with this paranormal, dragon shifters, why choose romance!

Twilight of Embers is the first book in Tessa Hale’s new Dragons of Ember Hollow trilogy and it was amazing! This is a paranormal, why choose, fated mates, dragon shifters romance and I loved it!

We see Hayden attending college and meeting Knox and his friends who are more like family. The minute Knox meets Hayden he knows she is something more and that she doesn’t even realize what she is herself. We see Hayden then meet Easton, Maddox, Cáel, and Cillian.

I loved how all the guys want to immediately take care of her and protect her. Know immediately feels she’s their mate, but they have to approach it carefully because she doesn’t even know about the world of dragon shifters. All the caretaking and trying to feed her, bringing her coats to keep warm, the need to have her close and safe was so sweet. I loved all of the heroes and how different they are! Sometimes other why choose books in the past make it hard to distinguish between all the characters, but that wasn’t the case here! All the heroes are broody in their own way and I liked her nickname of “Little Flame”. We have golden retriever vibes, “Mr. Grumpy Cat”, broken boy, a billionaire club owner, a professor (bit forbidden since she’s a student at the university).

This was just so much fun and with the cliffhanger of the first book I’m so excited to get to the rest of the series! Definitely my new fav read from Tessa Hale! I received an audio ALC and definitely recommend the narration! All thoughts in this review are my own.

It Was A WONDERFUL Read!

I'm excited for the books to follow! Was quite spicy!!! The cast was great, as they always are.
