About this listen
A betrayal born from obsession and tinged with madness.
The end is coming. Through grisly visions Effie has Seen it, and it’s far more horrific than any prophecy foretold.
Reeling from the discovery, Effie has no choice but to embrace her destiny if she hopes to stop the shadowed threat from claiming its next victim. While allies rally behind her, others plot and scheme to usher in the end of days.
But nothing could prepare them for the malicious darkness coiling all around...with a venomous wrath intent on destroying them all.
The Keeper's Retribution is book two in the Keeper's series and should be listened to after The Keeper's Legacy.
Recommended for ages 18+ due to adult language, content, and scenes with graphic violence.

Moving swiftly on, I loved this book. It is faster paced than the first one and you get thrown into the action from the get go. For most of this book it is just one battle after another as the gang tries to investigate the progress of the sinister shadows and the Keeper's race to try and ward off the ultimate doomsday prophecy. The tension never lets up in this one, you will find yourself getting sucked into the plot and constantly looking over your shoulder as there are some truly terrifying scenes in this one. It feels more like a thriller in parts when you listen to this one, the atmosphere and the tension have you on edge but in the best way. You will not want to stop listening.
Plus the ever present feeling that you are sliding into the mother of all tragic endings with no way to stop it has you feeling as restless and helpless as the characters themselves. It is a truly remarkable feat that Meg Anne has managed to weave this story in such a visceral way that you are right there living this countdown with them. If you are old enough to remember, this feels like you are living an episode of 24 with the countdown clock ticking away.
Effie continues to be one of my favourite characters and goes on an incredible journey in this book which is expertly portrayed by the undisputed queen of audio, Stella Hunter. She still retains some of her childlike insecurities but gone is the petulant outbursts from Book 1 and here we see her emerge as a fierce and determined bright star of a warrior.
No wonder Lucien, the guardian can no longer resist her! I love the development of their slow burn relationship in this book as the grumpy stoic warrior finally starts to admit his feelings for Effie. You see a whole new side to him in this book and when the wonderful brooding tones of Shane East is thrown into the mix, it is full on swoon time. I had distinct flashbacks to his character of Jensen in K Loraine's All the Queen's Men while listening to this one. There is something about a brooding alpha protector who keeps denying himself until he finally cracks that just gets me going ;)
As for Kieran....well he certainly goes on a journey in this one and without giving away too many spoilers those "red flags" I was refusing to see in Book 1, turns out they were justified. But its really hard when he is being played by the smoky and gorgeous tones of James Joseph!!! I was literally praying for any hint of redemption in this one, just a sliver. Fair warning but oh my god does James Joseph play bad so very very good :)
This trio of voice actors continues to blow my mind as they managed to bring this whole fantasy world into vivid life so effortlessly that I just didn't want it to end. One more book to go and I cannot wait!!!
PHENOMENAL! Tension never lets up in this one

I liked that we got Kiernan, Effie, and Lucian's points of view throughout the book. It really brought the story to life. The book ended on a cliffhanger which wasn't a surprise since it's the second book in the series. I can't wait to read the next book in the series The Keeper's Vow to get the conclusion of Effie and Lucian's story.
Stella, Shane, and James did a great job on the narration. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.
I would recommend this book if you like fantasy romances.
** I Noticed that the audiobook ends on chapter 32, but the book has 33 chapters, and you will need chapter 33 to understand chapter one in The Keeper's Vow.
