About this listen
Greek mythology meets YA brilliance in this epic romance fans of Percy Jackson, the Everneath Series, and the Covenant Series will love!
A life not her own - a future already decided.
Every facet of Ivy Pierce's life is meticulously planned out. Cynical and jaded by 16, Ivy's only hope is to escape the legacy she was born into.
She has a plan, a carefully thought out escape plan. She just has to play by the rules until everything falls into place. Unfortunately, as predictable as her life can be, she never sees Ryder Sutton coming. He tumbles into her life, unimpressed and untouched by her and the rules she's forced to live by. He's an enigma to her. A gorgeous, frustrating, sincere mystery in the ugly prison of her life.
What blooms between them is a fiercely intense attraction that cannot be ignored. Even though they would both be better off without each other - even if both their lives depend on staying apart.

Tessana Allisand had a family once. A home. A title. A future. Until one night when everything she loved was taken from her. Secreted away to an isolated monastery in the farthest region of the realm, Tess was raised in the silence of monks and the loneliness of tragedy. And there she would have stayed if the dark magic that killed her family hadn't finally found her. With her identity discovered, Tessana must face the home she fled all those years ago. The Crown of Nine must return to its rightful place and Tess must be the one to carry it across the nine kingdoms.

After escaping an abusive boyfriend to live in hostels and cheap hotels while I worked my way across Europe, I've come to two conclusions. The first?

Leaving my husband was hard. Trying to face the world alone with my teenage daughter is the sort of thing nightmares are made of, but I caught a break. My best friend just hired me for a great job, with perks like a rent-free house right beside not just one handsome man, but five! Each one is hotter than the last, and all of them seem interested in me. But everyone around us has these strange golden eyes...and there are the questions no one will answer. And who cares if there's a lot of wildlife running around at night? I do, especially when a wolf keeps sneaking into my backyard.

For years, the monsters who killed my family have held me in a cage. Brutalized and half-starved. Only kept alive so they can steal my blood. Until one evening, when three eerily gorgeous men rescue me. They offer a safe haven under their protection with everything I need to heal. I'm not used to this kindness—or the desires their smoldering eyes and strong hands stir in my body and my heart. But these fearsome men aren't really men. Like my former captors, they're fae who can shift into wolves. A curse gripping the faerie realm turns them wild under the full moon.

As a college student, I spend my days in class and my evenings selling sage to PTA moms who do moon rituals to manifest better parking spaces. My best friend is a cat who likes pizza, and a “night out” includes hand delivering mysterious packages to the local “coven” of small business owners who repeatedly invite me to their meetings - clothing optional. My life is weird. But it’s not magic. Magic isn’t real. At least, that’s what I believed - right up until the moment he walks into my store.

Great story line.
Lately I have been on a Greek mythology kick. This one did not disappoint. I couldn’t wait to finish the 1st installment and start the next. Only downfall was the way that ended the story. It just kind of ended and needed the second book to pick where it ended but without the cliffhanger.

kept me on my toes
The story is great and I can't wait to download the next one. However, it would have been nice to of known in the beginning of the book as to what curse they were talking about.
I can't wait to find out how they handle everything in the next book though. I hope she is able to get out of her bad situation.

decent storyline
the storyline is a twist to the myths, which I always appreciate, but the writing is very... flowery, wordy...I listened to it at a higher speed. Also, I feel like it should come with a trigger warning.

Narrator is AMAZING
This was a sweet suspenseful story. Its different. it is very YA leaning more towards the young. But still very well written. You really feel for Ivy and what she's going through. Having this curse and hating it. Thinking her life is inescapable and doomed to live like the rest of her circle. Just having 1 person actually really care about her and see her actually SEE her is hard for her to comprehend. I am definitely getting the next in this series. Would like to see if she can escape, and find true real love that she deserves.
Again this is very well written. & the narrator is BOMB. She does so many different voices SO well. Her inflections even for male voices is spot on. Wish she read all the books I like. Very well done Brittany.

Worth it
Okay so the first few hours could have been condensed a lot. BUT the story was enticing enough that I powered through it. I had a feeling it would get better, and it did! I suggest listening to the first half at 1.2 speed.
You might not love the main character AT FIRST, but I promise it’s because you don’t understand her yet. I was worried I was listening to a book made for 13-15 year olds, until more is revealed and it turns out She’s not the spoiled kid acting out, but an abused one who is surviving yet starting to fight back.
The romance is good. Slow burn and I look forward to seeing what happens with that in the next book.
This series seems to have all the things I look for- a coming of age. A passionate love story that gets spicy but not raunchy. Friendship. Layers of mystery that have me ready to download and listen to book two right about…now.
