I note that thus title is several years old, and while it is available to preorder on audible it is also book 1 in a series. I assume they’re all in the process of becoming available in audio format.

I really enjoyed this title, it is YA and it did have a YA feel to it, but I think it could easily be enjoyed by any fantasy fan - which btw I don’t claim to be, but I do enjoy something a bit different from time to time.

The best thing about this novel for me was that you are swept away into a whole other world, a world where almost every mythical creature you’ve heard of is in existence. I loved the selkies in particular being given an outing.

There’s nothing particularly original in the telling of the story, I’m not sure how die hard fantasy fans would feel, but it was a winner for me. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it 🤷🏻‍♀️

The audio narration by Heather O’Sullivan was excellent.

My gratitude to Bolinda Audio via NetGalley for this ALC 🎧

This is a YA fae fantasy that crosses from the real world to a shadow fae world. Izzy is your average 16 year old girl, hanging with friends, listening to music, trying to keep up with styles. One night she finds herself in a strange road or alley that seems to have taken her off the beaten path. Glimpses of otherworldly creatures and a chance meeting of one in particular, Jinx, throws her quickly into a precarious whirlwind of fae and angel factions warring against each other. Soon her and her friends find themselves amidst danger and somehow, she’s developed a strange tattoo itches and seems to warn her of impending danger. Why is she feeling different? And what is her link to this hidden world? Together, Jinx and Izzy embark on a mission to save their friends and protect their families from a danger greater than they could ever imagine. This storyline was really engaging, main characters well developed, and kept me entertained. Tropes are: forbidden attraction, good vs evil, female heroine, parallel realities. I received an arc copy of this book in exchange for an honest review from NetGalley and publisher. Thanks for the great read!
