About this listen

Life's tough as an Elf girl stranded in Earth's realm.

When a jaguar shifter drops in out of nowhere and asks for help in tracking down an ancient blood-magic statuette, I say no thank you. I learned a long time ago the key to survival is keeping a low profile. But it's hard to ignore an artifact of the gods powerful enough to blow holes in reality.

Enter stalker werewolves in a black Mercedes and magicians trying to capture me. They all think I know where the damned statue is. Then I'm attacked by demons.

It wouldn't be so bad, but some of them are really rude. Being rude is a capital crime where I come from.

Time for a lesson in manners.

Contains mature themes.

Overall really enjoyed this book and would recommend giving it a go but as a warning the narrators Irish accent has a tendency to wander into English and Scottish territory at times (being from the UK probably makes this more noticeable I'll admit) also despite one of the main side characters being described as having a Spanish accent it was most definitely pure American. I understand keeping up an accent while switching characters and essentially voice acting an entire cast has to be incredibly incredibly difficult but I almost feel keeping everyone American would have been less distracting than only one or two characters kind of having their assigned accents? but that's just my opinion and as I said I still enjoyed the story enough to pick up book 2!

Wandering accents.

it was a good story. However, let down a bit by the narrators accent for the main character not being consistent.

Good story

The book was ok, but nothing really exciting compared to similar books of the genre. You have a strong elf female lead, a shape shifter sidekick, and next to that, the other characters are bland and fade as soon as you turn the page. There is no romance per say, which would be ok if the action was awesome and would take my breath. But nope.
I listened to the audiobook and didn't find the narrator particularly engaging either. So it was a bit of a letdown, and I won't continue the series.

just ok

I do not want to trample on anyone but the narration needed more direction than it got. The accents were a mistake (wandering all over the UK while retaining at base pure American). It was too much for me. I really tried but I had to give up. I don't know about the story because all my focus was drawn by the voice. In normal speech a nice voice. Don't want to dishearten the actress. Sometimes you take a swing and .... Sure you will get them next time. But please stick to American.

The story is really interesting but the romance in non existent, not even a peck happens in the entire book. But there are many battles and magical confrontations (there isn’t any detailed description of the gore at all which was a shame). The story is action packed and the narration was just as fast. There was also a Irish (mild one) accent, which I didn’t really understand as our fmc isn’t Irish.
Still it was a good, clean story full of paranormal beings including demons, demigods and an green haired elf.

Good but a bit too long

As others have said, wandering, inconsistent accent. However the central character is not Irish, so what's wrong with the accent being not quite Irish? On the whole it was good and I shall listen to the next book.

Good light entertainment

But is the main character Irish, Welsh, Cockney, Texan or Scottish?! as she veered into all of those at different points. Narrator was also slow and seemed to stop dead at points that didn't warrant a pause which did ruin the flow somewhat.
Secondary character was supposed to be Espanic and yet had an American accent.
Overall great story, spoiled by poor narrator.

Easy to follow with plenty of interest.

I like the personalities but story's are the same as book two. Look forward to another book withe better story's.

Story's are very much same as book two. When are we getting another story line for another book.

it was OK to start with, my I st4uggled with the concept that a god who's been alive for millenia, constantly needed everything about the magic world explaining to her by an elf. Once this thought entered my head, I struggled to continue with the book. accents not as awful as s9me I've encountered

wierd concept. characters not very well rounded

Really great characters who can be developed further . The narrator spoke a little too fast at times which made the story lack expression and depth .
