About this listen
ELSPETH NEEDS A MONSTER. THE MONSTER MIGHT BE HER.
An ancient, mercurial spirit is trapped inside Elspeth Spindle's head - she calls him the Nightmare. He protects her. He keeps her secrets. But nothing comes for free, especially magic.
When Elspeth meets a mysterious highwayman on the forest road, she is thrust into a world of shadow and deception. Together, they embark on a dangerous quest to cure the town of Blunder from the dark magic infecting it. 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.
For fans of Uprooted and For the Wolf comes a gothic fantasy romance about a maiden who must unleash the monster within to save her kingdom.

The original storyline
This was a surprisingly good listen. I have the paperback but have never gotten to it on my TBR. When I saw it on audible I thought, meh, why not?
Narration was enjoyable, the actor very talented and each character given personality.
I’m completely engaged and will be getting book 2 asap.

What a story!
I am hooked. What a story. The amount of times a audibly gasped in public. Just stunning.
I struggled a bit with the narration at times but more personal preference, narrator is clearly talented and did a good contrast between some of the characters where it could be confusing.
Can’t wait to start book 2!

Annoyingly blind Hero
I thought she was stupid for not seeing who the Nightmare really was. I wanted her to absorb the other cards. And their was more chemistry with the Prinz and the nightmare then with Raven
