I do like historical romance on audio, but urban fantasy I have discovered to work just as well. Some genres to seem to click more and get even better in audio. And this one certainly did just that.
Alex gets a new case. A dead body in Faerie and possible war if a killer is not caught. I never remember who I ship since the wait between books is usually quite long. So Faelan who? Stop crying over spilled milk, Dugan seems juicy! As it is no Alex is not dating anyone (still miss you Death!), Faelan and her, well they did have their fling and now she has to work with him since he is a knight and agent. And Dugan, is the Shadow Prince who hires her. And yes, I like him, I wish she could like him back *sighs*
Faerie is not easy to navigate through. Everyone has hidden agendas. The Winter Queen is a b*tch. The other regents are no better. Though Dugan's dad did seem ok. This is not just a murder investigation, there are toes that can not be stepped upon. Feathers that can not be ruffled. And there is a baddie in the wings trying to cause war (I did guess who quite easily, I wonder why they did not).
The narration is great, there is always something behind the corner so you keep listening to know more. Like I said, UF does seem to be great for audio.
The end promises more hardship to come, and I can't wait! Must have more.
Narrator
She does the voices well, everyone has their sound. It is easy to follow along. She keeps up the tension and speed. And she makes this to an enjoyable listen that has me clamoring for more.

This might be one of my favorite in the series. I love the Prince of Shadows so much and the ending was amazing! I can’t believe the next book is the last in the series I never want this world to end. Per usual team Falin and I hate the Winter Queen. Really cool with the Mender coming through with Planeweaving.

Well, I wanted more fae politics and I definitely got it in this book. Alex is all over fairie in this one as she tries to solve a double murder that, on the surface, looks set to ignite tensions between two fae courts. I know there's only one book left in the series and I'm curious to see how the author will manage to wrap everything up because I feel as though there are still a lot of dangling plot threads.
Oh, and I have a theory about Alex's father so I'll see how that pans out.

I used to be able to devour this books in one day and slowly the series is dwindling and getting less interesting. This tends to happen for me when authors drag out a series too long. Hopefully, the next book picks back up.

I loved this book. It was such a great take on the Fae and Witchcraft. I tore through these really quickly. I wish Death had been a bigger part of the later books. I also liked the earlier books that focused more on her Grave magic and less on other skills more.

Better than the last book but still missing some of that spark that initially made me fall in love with the series. But I enjoyed it! It wrapped up some loose ends and started some new, interesting plot paths that I am intrigued to see where they go.
