About this listen
The first in an all-new futuristic fantasy series from Keri Arthur - the New York Times best-selling author of the Souls of Fire novels.
When the bombs that stopped the species war tore holes in the veil between this world and the next, they allowed entry to the Others - demons, wraiths, and death spirits who turned the shadows into their hunting grounds. Now, 100 years later, humans and shifters alike live in artificially lit cities designed to keep the darkness at bay....
As a dechet - a breed of humanoid supersoldiers almost eradicated by the war - Tiger has spent her life in hiding. But when she risks her life to save a little girl on the outskirts of Central City, she discovers that the child is one of many abducted in broad daylight by a wraithlike being - an impossibility with dangerous implications for everyone on Earth. Because if the light is no longer enough to protect them, nowhere is safe....

She runs a quaint Victorian Bed and Breakfast in a small Texas town, owns a Shih Tzu named Beast, and is a perfect neighbor, whose biggest problem should be what to serve her guests for breakfast. But Dina is...different: Her broom is a deadly weapon; her Inn is magic and thinks for itself. Meant to be a lodging for otherworldly visitors, the only permanent guest is a retired Galactic aristocrat who can’t leave the grounds because she’s responsible for the deaths of millions and someone might shoot her on sight.

I’m Val Thorvald, and I’m an assassin. When magical bad guys hurt people, I take care of them. Permanently. This doesn’t make me popular with the rest of the magical community — as you can tell from the numerous break-ins and assassination attempts I’ve endured over the years. But thanks to my half-elven blood, a powerful sword named Chopper, and a telepathic tiger with an attitude, I’ve always been able to handle my problems with aplomb. Maybe some cursing and swearing, too, but definitely aplomb.

Brought to us by the Drabs, it was the last thing we expected. But the Drabs knew. They even fought a war over whether or not they should save us. In the end, it was decided that we were diseased insects who were unfit to breathe their air. So they left the human race to die a miserable death of agonizing pain in a matter of months. Left us with no doctors or medicine. Their plan was to rid the earth of us and to take our home as their own. What they never expected was the change that would come after the plague. We didn't all die off as they'd planned.

Dystopian sci-fi and fantasy, this book is all 3.
This is the first book in an excellent series. I have read both books, and am on the llokout for the next one. This series takes place in the aftermath of a huge war, hence I would consider it dystopian. However, technology was not lost, and has continued to advance, including genetic modification and the creation of the Dechet, who are meant to be "supersoldiers." The main focus is on rescuing some children who have been abducted by a company who wants to make vampires immune to sunlight, which would be a very bad idea. The two protagonists work together to rescue the children, while trying to overcome their hatred for each other's races. the thing I really like about this series is that the romance stays in the background, and the main focus in the plot itself. I highly recommend this book, and its sequel. I hope Ms. Arthur continues the series soon.

The best of sci-fi and fantasy
What did you love best about City of Light?
Most? It's impossible to say, because I loved everything about this book. Tiger, the ghosts, the world...all of it.
Who was your favorite character and why?
I love Tiger. She's tough and capable, but also self-aware and caring. Her character is very well-devoloped and she makes for an amazing heroine...even if she's reluctant to be one!
Which character – as performed by Mia Barron – was your favorite?
Mia Barron voices everyone very well.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Once you get past the weirdness it gets good!
Where does City of Light rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This one started out weird for me. Post-apocalyptic world – check; Shifters – check, vampires – check; Tiger, that’s where we get weird. She is a genetically engineered déchet, or super soldier, made during the war between humans and shifters. She is the last of her kind, and has been hiding in the remains of the military bunker; she is the lone survivor. She lives in the bunker with ghosts she can talk to and treats them as family. This is where the story almost lost me. Oh, and because of the destruction from the war, there are now rifts in reality; beings from other dimensions are pouring into our world. Did I also mention Tiger is over 100 years old? Yep weird.
I’m glad I didn’t give up in the first few chapters, as I wanted to do. I was like WTF is this? In this world vampires are raging beast driven by their blood lust; this saved the story for me. They are monsters that ravage and destroy, live in darkness, and can become darkness. No sparkly sissy’s here! This story is about Tiger; she is really a bad ass chick, yet she also has a huge heart. She’s stuck in a world where people fear and hate her kind, making it necessary to hide, and blend in, for fear of discovery.
Arthur has set this first story up perfectly; I love Tiger for her bravery and her heart. Readers will want her happy and accepted for who she is, in this world that hates her. I can’t wait for book two. City of Light is a fast paced, thrilling story that that leaves readers wanting more. You just have to get through and absorb the initial weirdness....Sara

Keri Arthur is a phenomenal author
Genre: Paranormal/SciFi/Romance
Content Rating: Adult 18+ (gory, sexual content, language, you know the drill)
Spice Level: 3/5 (Not her most spicy book I’ve read, but the scenes are 🥵 fire nonetheless! KA knows how to write a good scene that’s hot AND sensual!)
My overall Rating: 10/10! KA will ALWAYS be a 10 for me!
My Review: Keri Arthur is my #1 favorite author of ALL TIME And I don’t say that lightly. The way she writes her female protagonist is just… chef kiss! I can probably cry with relief - strong, smart, sensual, knows there shit! KA’s FMCs are EVERYTHING I’ve been missing and needing lately! I am so beyond tired of the virginal Mary Jane’s every author writes about. I have yet to read or listen to an irritating FMC written by this author. Don’t believe me? Check out my prior reviews lol I’m very hard to please because every other author writes their FMCs from the same cutout. Always young, between 18-21, never older. They are angry and don’t communicate, all they can think about is how hot the MMC is. Most always a virgin. Always a do gooder to the point where they do stupid things just to get saved by the MMC. Sound familiar? I can name 50 authors at the top of my head where what I just described is their FMC to a T. And I absolutely hate it.
The story was beautiful and I actually cried at one place. There are places that were intense I caught myself wanting to skip because it was soooo good I get impatient lol KA knows how to write an immersive story that makes you hot, makes you mad, makes you cry. She is probably the only author in my thousands of books I’ve read and listened to where I can honestly say I went thru an emotional roller coaster by the end. She’s just amazing and I can’t say that enough!!!
Mia Burton was phenomenal. She knows how to read with emotion and it just makes this author/narrator duo my #1. Now if only she can get ALL her books on audible!!! ❤️

Variety of Supernatural Beings
Our main character, Tiger, is a pretty flat and 2-dimensional character. It was really hard for me to relate to her in any way. She is the result of a government “super soldier” program that combines the DNA from shapeshifters and vampires. She is what is known as a “dechet”. She survived the human shifter war 100 years before the story takes place and had to watch everyone she cared about to die after the shifters won the war and decided to eradicate the dechet en masse.
The premise of the story itself was pretty good and it had a lot of potential. I’m a huge fan of urban fantasy, but I had no idea this was also a paranormal romance novel. The dialog in the book leaves a lot to be desired, which lets the book down in and of itself considering there is a lot of dialog in the book. A lot of dialog. There are eyebrows flipping everywhere and so many “cold”, “mirthless” or “humorless” smiles.
Mia Barron, The narrator, also kind of killed the book for me. She used the same voice for almost every character, and her dialog rhythm was very bizarre. It got a little better by the end of the book, but listening to conversations between 3 or 5 people, all with the same voice kind of makes it a little hard to follow who is talking and whose eyebrows are flying where. That’s not to say that the narrator was awful, she has a very nice voice and during the course of the narrative parts, it was a pretty enjoyable listen.
I did like the world and a lot of the ideas that went into it. In this dystopian world, there are vampires, shapeshifters, ghosts, wraiths, witches, dechet, and probably some other things that I may be forgetting. The history of the world was nice, not really rich, but definitely thought out. Then on top of all the different types of characters, you also have a sci-fi feeling environment, that still feels desolate.
Unfortunately, the book was a little too predictable and repetitive for me. I had already guessed what was going on by 45% of the way through the book. I would say the end of the book, but the end of the book is not really an ending. The author basically didn’t finish the story, then called it a cliffhanger.
All in all, it was a bit of a slog, and I don’t want book 2. It fell short of what I was expecting and what I was really hoping for in a unique urban fantasy book.
