About this listen

The secluded forest cabin was meant to give Sophie a place to hide, to heal, and to be safe.

But from the moment she arrives, she’s not alone. She glimpses dark shapes from the corner of her eye, feels phantom touches, and her dreams are filled with seductive shadows. What she first mistakes for delusions of her traumatized mind soon prove to be so much more…

An ancient, mysterious, dangerous entity lurks in the woods — and it wants Sophie.

Trigger warning: This book contains violence, including a history of domestic abuse.

The characters are lacking personality and chemistry.

There's nothing wrong with this story, it's just not amazing and I wouldn't reread it. I actually picked these books as I saw some cool fan art for the monster in the second book but now I'm just going to leave it in my TBR for when I'm really desperate.

I think the story could have been much better if there was more interaction between the main characters, and more back story of why he was cursed (that's not a spoiler you find out immediately).

I'm going back to read more Lily Mayne books because none of them have left me feeling lukewarm.

Flat characters

Plot is what you'd expect - fast paced and not "the point" of the novel. SPOILERS she comes out of an terribly abusive relationship where she was basically owned, then stumbles upon Mr. shadow forest lord and he repeats steamily "You're mine" for ten days and then she becomes his forest wife.

Narration for the male characters were on point I guess, but jeez the dialogue between the female characters - comical.

Overall, ehh, I giggled, but not worth it.

Ehh it was okay

I like all the descriptions of the forest and where she lived. Yes the story was predictable but I liked it all the same, so much so that I listened to it all in one evening. I’m going the be listening to the second book in the series next.

I really liked this story
