About this listen

Book three in the gripping supernatural series by the best-selling author of the Chronicles of St Mary's series.

I don't know who I am. I don't know what I am.

The identity of Elizabeth Cage has always been a mystery. Even she doesn't know who, or what, she is. But she's learned to live with it.

Until now, when what should have been a peaceful holiday turns into anything but, and Elizabeth is forced to recognise that she isn't what she seems.

But neither is anyone else. Has her whole life been a lie?

Someone very badly wants to know the truth about Elizabeth Cage. And they'll do anything to find out. But who will live to regret it?

Twisty, dark and incredibly gripping, the Elizabeth Cage novels are perfect for fans of Sarah Painter and Genevieve Cogman.

Usual Jodi Taylor Good Listen

I always enjoy Jodi Taylor books. Love her imagination and interaction between the characters. Found this story a little disjointed this time and felt it really didn't get going until much later in the book. Having said that there are some lovely and touching new characters. What really slightly spoilt it for me was the change in the narrator. Don't get me wrong, Zara Ramm is sulperb in the ST Mary's series, but I felt that Elizabeth Cage had suddenly turned into Max. I rather liked the previous narrator who made Elizabeth Cage an individual. I'm really disappointed and wonder why it was necessary.

Long Shadows is a very interesting story

Long Shadows had some interesting twists and turns and held my interest throughout. Much better than the previous book Dark Light, but not quite as captivating as the first book White Silence. The narrator was very good this time. Long Shadows felt like it had a very abrupt end and I wonder if there will be a fourth book?

Has it all

This book, like the previous 2 books, is quite brilliant. However, this goes deep. Some may not like that. I do, it’s a brilliant story, well written and superbly read. I enjoyed it enormously. There are a lot of poor and some mediocre books out there. This ain’t one of them. It’s a great story I didn’t want to end.

Great series, much improved by Zara Ramm’s narration

I’ve been a Jodi Taylor fan for a while, and this series finally settled with Zara’s narration. Made the story more engaging and easy to follow. Another great instalment of the Elizabeth Cage series: the best one yet in fact. Bring on the next book!

So that is Elizabeth's secret!

I listened to all three books in a row, and this one brings a kind of closure to the mystery of Elizabeth's powers. However, there are some things not revealed and the ending suggests that another book (or several) is possible.
Overall this is an enjoyable listen, made easier by having Zara Ramm narrate the story (Julie Teal just didn't work!).
Fans of Jodi Taylor will recognise some familiar plot lines and twists and turns. However, unlike the St Mary's series the historical background to this series take you into an imagined world of myth and legend. This is where the book is weakest- the 'good and bad' historical battles played out in the background are the authors own invention rather than based on history as we know it. This led to the final reveal of Elizabeth's history to be somewhat of a disappointment.
While I have enjoyed the series, I'm not sure I'll stay the course for book 4.

Brilliant story

Jodi Taylor has done it again and written a third book in the Elizabeth Cage series. Can't recommend this author too much, she's amazing. My only niggle is Sara Ramm reading this third book. Every actor has a limited number of 'voices' and she's so totally involved with the St Mary's and the Time Police, which she reads brilliantly that I found it disconcerting.

Love this reader best

Absolutely adore Jodi Taylor’s books, from St Mary, to Time Police and now this series, too! And felt much more settled with Ms Ramm performing this reading: felt like a home coming, thank you!
