Warning: Ends in the middle of the story

This is an enjoyable book, well written and well narrated. However I wouldn’t even says it ends on a cliff hanger, it just ... ends. Without having even reached a crescendo or a turning point. A habit with YA novels I find deeply irritating - each book should feel like a complete story, with more to tell if there’s a sequel, not one story cut up into pieces.

Runes, shadows and bound souls.

This is the first book in this series, and honestly it is extremely good. Both the author and the narrator do such an incredible job bringing this story to life, the way the surroundings are described is done so well. Smells, tastes everything is described perfectly. The world building is progressive and fascinating, from what I can tell so far it all is connected to the nocatice Queen and the curse. I won't say more than that because it will spoil things, I will mention some of the creatures in this are seriously terrifying. The way magic is used in this is very intriguing, I'm a little jealous actually. I'd love it if I had magic like Havens, she can do some pretty cool stuff. All of the characters are interesting and different, I love them all. Though my favourite is Stolas, something about him just really draws me to him. He is quite the mystery, I'm still trying to understand his motivation in book one. He appears as a bad guy, but then he does something completely unexpected. And I have to say the narrator does an impeccable job with him, it's both a mix of sultry and edgy. I can't wait to dive into book 2.

Hello, Beastie.

"Hello, Beastie, a voice teased inside her head. Did you miss me?"

When I hear the word Beastie my heart does a little flip.
I don't think I'm supposed to love
Stolas but I fell in love immediately!

Honestly, I love every single main in this book. I have no idea how the author has made them all so important to me already.

The narration on this was fantastic and I'll definitely continue this series on audio.

I love the world, the magic, the way the curse is woven and how fate rests its burden all on one person.

This is exactly my kind of book.
Fierce, protective friendships, loyal, stubborn characters, mystery and adventure with danger and high stakes at every turn.

I cannot wait to continue this series and see what unfolds for all the characters and for Penryth.

Got me hooked!

struggled at the beginning to understand what was going on with the audio book. read the e book for about the first 14 chapters then when I understood it the rest flew past.

Good plot got me hooked, great well rounded characters. I felt some of the POVs were are random times. Cannot wait to read the second one.

Grest book, really great narrator.

After enjoying the first audiobook and I will definitely get the second one as long as it has the same Narrator!

I really like the dark vs. light influences that are competing for our heroine's attention. My preference is for the Lord of Shadow because he seems to appreciate Haven 's nature and I love it when he calls her Beastie . The Sun Lord in comparison is prejudiced of her mortality and obsessef with his apparent superiority in being immortal. Big. Deal. In the end it is Hayden who can save them all from the darkness...

I enjoyed the build up between Haven and her two leading men - love/hate creates delicious tension in a book without being explicit.

Oath Taker

The beginning did not hook me but I kept on reading thinking it might change. I was so glad that I did because things started to go downhill for Haven (our main female character). I really loved her personality because she does not take any rubbish and fights back. She is not weak. I liked this because usually the female characters in YA always start of as being stupid which I hate. Not so in this book.
The book is full of intrigue and suspense and is fast paced. There is more going on that we do not know and the secondary characters have there own secrets.
There is no sexual content with some violence. I can't remember if it had profanity.
There is some LGTB (two of the secondary characters). One of the secondary character who is gay has a beauty and the beast element to his romance but we don't get the full story since this is from multiple POVs. We will find out more in the coming books in the series.
