This is my favorite of the Lost Clan series. Lily and Kajika are such great characters and really captured my heart. I’ll always love Ace and Cat, but in this book everything tied together so wonderfully.

I wish I’d read this book myself first. The male narrator is so hard to listen to that it ruins the story. I’d find myself thinking more about how awful his performance was (just too over the top, almost pervy) instead of the story so I had to re-listen to so many parts. My enjoyment of the book suffered because of it. The female narrator did a great job and I hated when it switched.
The story itself was okay. Not the author’s best but that could have been due to my inability to really get lost in the world.

I had to force myself to finish this book. Maybe I’m just in a book funk, maybe my expectations are just too high because others rave about the series, but I struggled to connect to the characters. I find the main characters all unlikable and they do nothing to redeem themselves. I get that’s part of the world building but I can’t cheer for characters who are selfish and self centered and constantly hurt each other. The whole Fae community in these books seems pretty awful. The men are constantly using Aenor and gaslighting her. In this book in particular, her lover decides to take away her newly returned powers because he believes a prophecy over what he knows/has experienced of her and gets upset that she doesn’t docilely obey with his plan. Fight scenes fail to grab me, the switch between love interests was canned and unbelievable, the action falls flat and seems anticlimactic. Overall, for me, it’s a bland story.

The narrator does an okay job. She did give Salem his own distinct accent in this book (in the previous narration she just did a British accent for him) but she doesn’t pronounce Salem the same every time. It really takes you out of the story. Her cadence is off for me, almost too plodding. It made the story more of a slog.

It’s overall a great book. I like the story, though it is torture heavy and the main character makes some…stupid, ill thought out decisions. That did get tiresome. The narrator is good but there is weird editing in the book. Skipped lines, repeat lines and in one instance audio recorded over other audio.

This is one of my all time favorite books. The whole series, so far, is just amazing. The story telling is rich and complex and the characters are compelling. I’ve read and re-read and listened and re-listened to it many times. The narrator’s performance is wonderful, bringing depth to each character. A not to be missed book all around.

This series has been a wild ride! This book in particular had so many twists and turns and there were times I genuinely didn’t know who Cat could trust. I loved Cat and Ace and am happy they got their happy ending.

This book wraps up the Demigod of San Francisco book and it is such a wonderful ending! This book has so many twists and turns and is full of action(of all kinds).

The second book in the Lost Clan series, I felt this book really got the story going. I liked the first book but this book really hit it out of the park. The narrator is good at the different voices and overall it’s a enjoyable performance. Can’t wait to see what happens next in the story!

I really enjoyed this book. I have wanted to read it for awhile and I had the opportunity to get the audio book and jumped at it.
Cat’s story is just starting in this book. It’s a bittersweet book, with love and loss. I was heartbroken listening at times but also given hope. The writing is brilliantly done. I look forward to the rest of the trilogy and seeing how Cat’s story unfolds, especially as she wars with the two sides of herself.
The narrator is good at both male and female voices and for the most part I do get lost in the performance. There is is just something about how she reads that sits funny on my ears but once I lose myself to the story I don’t tend to notice. Overall, she performs well and her voice fits who I imagine Cat to be.

This book has stuck with me since I first read it. It’s haunting, a perfect re-imagining of Romeo and Juliet. I got it on Audible to listen during the holidays and am re-listening again on vacation. It’s so beautiful. The narration is okay. Holly Fielding isn’t my favorite narrator. She does decent men’s voices but she’s a very deliberate speaker and it doesn’t sit well on my ears when she reads. It comes across as staccato and slow. Regardless, I fell into the story and would highly recommend it.
