About this listen

In Elfhame, bargains are currency, lies are weapons, and your heart is your greatest weakness.

Reeling from Bastian's revelations, Kat wakes from her dire illness wanting nothing more than to sever all ties with the man who betrayed her. But fate has a different plan—she's trapped in Elfhame, the fae realm where nothing is as it seems. And worse, she's trapped with him, reliant on his touch to stave off a poison that threatens her very life.

Thrust into the center of Dusk and Dawn Courts, they must balance the two in order to maintain a delicate peace. But in a world where alliances are forged and shattered in a heartbeat, danger looms. A mysterious group infiltrates the city, and spies whisper of an ancient artifact powerful enough to destroy an entire court.

As enemies close in from all sides and attacks on the city escalate, Kat and Bastian must unearth deadly secrets and their own complicated feelings to survive—or risk a war to destroy faekind itself.

Full of betrayal, bargains, and broken hearts, A Touch of Poison is the spellbinding second book in Shadows of the Tenebris Court, a searing romantic fantasy trilogy perfect for fans of The Bridge Kingdom and A Court of Thorns and Roses. Intended for mature listeners.

Really love this story, I'm a big fan of ACOTAR and FBAA and this really gave me those vibes. Loved the first book, even more so because the female narrator is so good. However, this second audio book was slightly let down by the male narrator. His voice and the way the book was read made Bastian sounds so uncertain, inexperienced and not at all like the Night Queen's shadow. He even sounded a bit whiny at times and it is so drastically different to when the female narrator reads as him. I ended up having to download the ebook and listen to Kat's chapter on audible but then read Bastian's chapters :(

Amazing story shame about male narrator

Both book one and two have been great, male narrator doesn’t quite live up to the gruffness I’d like but he reads well. The story is fantastic and I can’t wait to hear book 3.

Loved the series

great story, the woman performer is good. the man sounds like someone reading out facts. not a great voice for story telling. and his version of a girl sounds like a robot talking lol xxx hes terrible with his inflections. like a wildlife documentary lol. disappointing as the story is a good one and I love a 2 person performance usually.

the first book gripped me from the start and I devoured it. the 2nd didn't...but stick with it. from about quarter way threw it picks up and is just as good as the first. not sure if it was the writing being a bit different or the male narrator who isn't the best. once you get past his narration style it was awesome. nearly dbf'd but so glad I stuck with it

stick with it, slow start then... wow

It took me a while to get used to the male narrator, but otherwise narration was ok.
I have enjoyed listening to Kat get her stuff together and building her relationship with Bastian. I was disappointed with the ending especially as the next book isn't on audible and I am going to have read it!
I did enjoy the book and hope we get a happy ending in the next one!

Good story
