About this listen

The launch of a gripping new supernatural terror trilogy by the acclaimed author of Coldbrook, The Silence, and the Alien-Predator Rage War trilogy

There's an underground black market for arcane things. Akin to the trade in rhino horns or tiger bones, this network traffics in remains of gryphons, faeries, goblins, and other fantastic creatures.

When her fiance Vince goes missing, Angela Gough, an American criminology student, discovers he was a part of this secretive trade. It's a big-money business-shadowy, brutal, and sometimes fatal. As the trail leads her deeper into London's dark side, she crosses paths with a crime lord whose life is dedicated to collecting such relics.

Then Angela discovers that some of these objects aren't as ancient as they seem. Some of them are fresh.

The story was good, I was invested in the characters and wanted to see what happened next. The narrator did a good job.

Fast paced, mysterious, violent, heart warming and full of wonder. Looking forward to the other two.

I was surprised at the sudden twist in the storyline, it was all beginning to feel a little bit slow and dry but then whoosh, the real story began.

I finished this pretty quickly because I found out this was the first part of a trilogy.

Straigh onto the next installment shortly after a quick coffee break.

Thank you Tim Lebbon for your hard work and top notch writings.

Thoroughly enjoyed

Fantastical content and engaging story. I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. The prologue left me with questions at the end, but I can forgive that. There are also some perspective jumps that left me momentarily confused too. But overall I really enjoyed it.

I wasn’t sure, but then I was hooked

Good Story

Very interesting story that sort of slowly unfolds and takes you through the underbelly of London and introduces you to another world.

Very interesting story!

This is the first non Star Wars Lebbon novel I've read and it was thoroughly enjoyable. There are 2 main story arcs running through the novel, One is a standard missing person story when Angela's boyfriend Vince goes missing leaving cryptic notes saying not to look for him but takes nothing from their shared home. She realises that things are not all they seem to be when she goes to his office to find him to discover he has another life. As she digs deeper she gets exposed to whole other world in which Vince is a searcher out of 'Relics' (parts of mythical creatures -called the KIN) who she soon discovers are alive and well and living in London. The further she gets into this new world the more sides she finds, not all the KIN wish to remain hidden some want to live in the open, some humans are only after Relics some want to capture and torture living specimens, including a Angel that the KIN want to rescue.
In a desperate attempt to find Vince one side captures Lucy (Angela's best friend). Can Angela and her allies manage to save both the Angel and Lucy without getting caught?
The book grabbed me early on and moves along at a good pace, and the author develops a good range of characters that the reader can feel invested in. The action scenes are well written and there is an excellent amount of tension throughout the story.
Esther delivers good clear narration that certainly enhances the listening experience.

could have been better narration/ acting but definite differences in each character not bad especially for a book included in monthly payment worth a try

good story

The premise was there and intriguing but just didn't quite get to the gripping the edge of your seat in anxious anticipation of what's next. The narration was great and helped keep the storying going. Good for something to listen to on a long commute.
