Summary

From Hafsah Faizal, New York Times-bestselling author of We Hunt the Flame, comes A Tempest of Tea – an intoxicating brew of vampires, secrets and romance, perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo's Six of Crows.

On the streets of White Roaring, Arthie Casimir is a criminal mastermind and collector of secrets. Her prestigious tearoom transforms into an illegal bloodhouse by dark, catering to the vampires feared by society. But when her establishment is threatened, Arthie is forced to strike an unlikely deal with an alluring adversary to save it – and she can't do the job alone.

Calling on some of the city's most skilled outcasts, Arthie hatches a plan to infiltrate the dark and glittering vampire society known as the Athereum. But not everyone in her ragtag crew is on her side, and as the truth behind the heist unfolds, Arthie finds herself in the midst of a conspiracy that will threaten the world as she knows it.

Dark, action-packed, and swoonworthy, this is Hafsah Faizal better than ever.

This audio edition includes an exclusive conversation with the author.

'All the thrills of an Ocean's 11-style heist, made even more fun with magic weapons, steamy kisses, and...vampires?! A rollicking banquet of a book!' (Marissa Meyer, #1 New York Times bestselling author)

'A wicked blend of secrets, heists, and vampires, with simmering notes of romance and a smoky foundation of revenge—A Tempest of Tea is a story that isn’t afraid to show its fangs.' (Margaret Owen, New York Times Bestselling author of the Little Thieves trilogy)

Tea, Treachery, Vampires and Imperialism

My first audible DNF.

I feel awful for leaving a not so positive review, but I feel I would have rather been advised about it than not. The narrators voice is lovely, but I just kept phasing out. The amount of times I had to go back to the beginning of a chapter. And then I didn’t know who was talking and about whom. I tried to physically read it too, but I just didn’t feel anything for the characters. This could easily have been a non-fantasy story, the vampires didn’t offer anything fantastical, they could easily just be the mafia… I feel bleurgh for not finishing it. I might try again in the future. But right now, I’m off to do a re-read of something I loved.
