From what I've read from this author, I think this will be a good audiobook. It's well narrated and has a good story. I don't have the audiobook for the first in the series so I'll have to read that before this one

Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for the ALC

I enjoyed the dialogue among the characters. The world-building, characters, and relationships held my interest to the end. Nemain is a compelling character and I look forward to the next book to find out more.

I truly enjoyed listening to this story and would recommend it to others.

However, I was not fond of the narrator. She captured emotions well but some parts she read just didn't vibe with me.

A Shift in Fate (Lost Legacies 2) by Maddox Grey
Narrated by Krys Janae
Greymalkin Press, 16th November 2022

This second book in the Lost Legacies series is a fun fantasy packed with fae, demons, werewolves, magic, and lots of action! Krys Janae makes a whole host of interesting characters appealing, and Maddox Grey's plot is littered with unfurling secrets and side stories.

Nemain, our feline shifter FMC, takes off on a trek to find a lost boy, complete with her band of pals. Werewolf, and love interest, Andre tags along, but the mission is fraught with danger. The discoveries made and banter between the friends are highlights and balance the danger of the very mission!

Pick up this series if you enjoy fantasy romance, fun and banter with friends, tons of supernatural folk, and a series to get your teeth into.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

3.5 ⭐️ Happy to be back with my favorite feline shifter! This is just a fun fantasy series to read with all the different types of creatures and people we get that interact throughout the story. If you read book one and we’re wondering if you should continue, I say keep the good times rolling! 🙌🏼

Not realizing that this was the second book in a series I was a little lost at first but then quickly got into what was going on
This was a great listen
The Narrators did a great job
If you read or listened to book 1 you will enjoy this one, probably more than the first

A Shift in Fate by Maddox Grey, narrated by Krys Janae, was a fun, action-packed story that kept my attention. The world-building is great, filled with a wide range of magical creatures like werewolves, vampires, fae, and the Wild Hunt. While there were a lot of characters and subplots to keep track of, the unique magic system and the adventure made it an overall enjoyable experience. Krys did a great job narrating, they were clear and engaging, adding to the immersion.

That said, the plot felt a bit slow at times, and some of the magic elements were hard to follow. But the strong character development, especially for the newer faces, more than made up for it. If you're into modern fantasy with a mix of dark magic and epic adventure, then I would highly recommend this series!

*I received an advanced copy for review* This was an interesting and easy read. I read the entire series in preparation for this book and did enjoy the world building.
Personally I feel like there were too many different things all mixed together. It felt like the author was trying to include every magical being possible and weave their stories together in a way that didn't really make sense. I'd recommend for someone looking for a very diverse character list but this won't be added to my re-read pile.

I DNF'd this advanced audiobook. I didn't care for the characters or the storyline, and the narrator was not entertaining to listen to either.

The author skillfully balances action and introspection, crafting a story that is both entertaining and thought-provoking. With a captivating plot, well-developed characters, and an immersive setting, this book is a must-read for fans of fantasy who enjoy tales of dark magic, hidden identities, and the sacrifices made in the name of revenge and loyalty. Prepare to be swept away on a high-stakes journey that will leave you eagerly anticipating the next twist in this enchanting saga.

A Shift in Fate (Lost Legacies, #2)
by Maddox Grey
The audio edition of this book allows the reader to have imitate connection with the book. The voice of the narrator is inviting and full of depth.
The book can stand alone, as i have not read the prior book. I found the idea and intrigue of the story absorbing. The internal and external conflict of the species has provided a very compelling conflict, as fae, deamons, shape shifters and vampires work for control of the various worlds.
The main character has a mystery in her story, that is slowly exposed over the novel. She is able to learn her own history, and how it connects to the conflicts of her world.
The supporting characters have their own mystery and intrigue that add to the elements of mystery, and suspense.

Here's a 5-star review for *A Shift in Fate* by Maddox Grey:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Maddox Grey has done it again with *A Shift in Fate*! As the second installment in the Lost Legacies series, this book dives even deeper into the complex and dangerous world of fae, daemons, and magic, and I was lucky enough to listen to the ALC. From the very beginning, the story grabbed me and didn’t let go, building on the thrilling momentum set in the first book.

The tension surrounding the protagonist, who wields forbidden devourer magic, was palpable, and the stakes felt incredibly high as she navigated dangerous alliances and ruthless enemies. The journey to the fae realms was action-packed, filled with twists, secrets, and revelations that kept me on the edge of my seat. I loved how Maddox Grey masterfully intertwined character development with fast-paced plot progression, especially the bond between the protagonist and her high-ranking daemon best friend.

The world-building remains top-notch, and the introduction of new threats—assassins with magic like the protagonist's—added an exciting layer of mystery and danger. The emotional depth, coupled with the morally complex choices, made this a truly gripping sequel.

*Lost Legacies* fans, prepare to be amazed! *A Shift in Fate* takes the story to a whole new level, blending revenge, magic, and sacrifice in ways that left me eagerly anticipating what comes next. Maddox Grey continues to deliver an enthralling series, and I can't recommend it enough!

“A Shift in Fate,” by Maddox Grey

This book has a lot of action and so many characters with a large kind of epic type feel to the story. With werewolves, vampires, fae, wild hunt, magic, and fighting even among friends, there’s a lot. It reminded me of DND. Unfortunately, it wasn’t quite my type of action and story, I just wasn’t feeling it too much. Not a bad read just not my kind of book. 3 out of 5 stars.

-Werewolves
-Vampires
-Fae
-Wild Hunt
-Magic

Thank you for the free copy, Netgalley.

Even better than book 1. We learn more about Nemain's background. We follow Nemain's crew to rescue a boy and end up learning a lot about each character's background. Lots of witty banter, some romance, epic fighting, it's got it all. The audiobook kept a fantastic pace, easy to tell when perspectives changed characters.

TW: Some references to past trauma.

I didn't have expectations of this book going in, fantasy can be very hit or miss. This book almost lost me early on, I think that I was expecting it to be too much of a clone of some other series, but once I was a few chapters in I was hooked. There were still some parts I didn't understand, I think this is not the first book in this series, but overall it was a great modern fantasy read.

I enjoyed getting to know the characters, I liked how they interacted with one another, and the adventure they were on was intriguing to follow. I also really enjoyed that it showed hard decisions being made, and the ramifications that differing viewpoints can have on relationships.

I'd recommend this to anyone looking for something that feels like Harry Dresden meets Wheel of Time.

I loved this book. It was really awesome to be able to listen to it and hear the emotion from the narrator. This is a long series but I can’t wait to continue it!

And the story continues! Oh wow, I did not expect A Shift in Fate to be this good. It was so easy to fall back into this world and immerse myself in this story again. The plot was a little slow but I was blown away by the deep character development so many of the characters showed. Some amazing new characters were introduced and I loved getting to know them. Some of the magic and physics of the world got a bit confusing at some points but overall I like the unique magic system. The audiobook was clear and easy to listen to. I can't wait to continue this adventure in the next book.

Thank you to the publishers and netgalley for this arc in exchange for an honest review.

Fast-paced, fully fleshed universe, quirky characters with plenty of action and even romance!
This is the second book of a trilogy, and I unfortunately did not read book one. I was able to catch up quickly and even made to feel sad about missing out on reading the first of the series, but it definitely stands alone if you get it confused.
Thank you for the advanced copy of this story to the publishers, author, and Netgallery in exchange for my honest review.

I didn't enjoy this narrator in the first book, so I regret to say I didn't listen to it. I will read it as an e-book and hope I like the story better that way

I adore this story!! The TENSION is fantastic. The plot is plotting and the fmc is a fierce badass. This all together makes a great book!!

I love that the world building is detailed but still easy to follow so you can easily enjoy it. Especially in this book we do lots of traveling and seeing new places and people!

I love the audiobook!! I think that the narrator was perfectly casted! She did a wonderful job bringing this book to life💕
