About this listen

Avalon stands revealed, but the war is far from over. For Layla Cassidy, it has only just begun.

Thrust into a new world full of magic and monsters, Layla has finally come to terms with her supernatural powers - and left her old life behind. But her enemies are relentless.

Sixteen months after her life changed forever, Layla and her team are besieged during a rescue attempt gone awry and must fight their way through to freedom. It turns out that Avalon has only grown since their last encounter, adding fresh villains to its horde. Meanwhile, revelations abound as Layla confronts twists and betrayals in her own life, with each new detail adding to the shadow that looms over her.

As Layla fights against the forces of evil, her powers begin to increase - and she discovers more about the darkness that lies in her past. As this same darkness threatens her future, will she be ready to fight for everything she holds dear?

Generally a good story but a little too middle class, gentille. How many times can a person be asked if she's OK?

Not quite up to the Hellrquin stories

As much as I love the phrase bag of dicks it's used too much.

Great story and narration cannot wait for more in the series. So happy Remy has found his potty mouth again !

Amazing as always

I'm unconvinced by the fact that these new characters are suddenly in control and giving the orders. The cameo performances of the big names from the previous series seem to be more as a reminder to 'keep reading because you're a Hellequin fan' than anything else. I am a Hellequin fan and I will keep listening but I really hope it gets better.

Disappointing

Once again an outstanding book, beautifully written and with a wonderful narrator. Thank you Mr. McHugh I adore your characters, Remy I may be a little (perversely) in love with! Leah has matured into a real kickass female in a book full of kickass females. Thank you for that! Truly cannot wait for the next book and the next Chronicles after the Avalon trilogy.
Outstanding!!!
