About this listen

The only way to fight a powerful darkness is with a powerful love

Olivia Moreland prides herself on discrediting charlatans, particularly the false mediums that flock to London. But when Lord Stephen St. Leger requests her help in investigating an alleged psychic's claims, she can't deny the ominous feeling she has within the walls of his ancient estate - or the intimately familiar connection she has with Stephen himself.

The last time he'd called Blackhope Hall home, Stephen had watched as his elder brother claimed both the family title and the woman he loved. Now, in the wake of his brother's murder, Stephen has reluctantly returned to find his family ensconced in scandal. Who is responsible for his brother's untimely death? And what is it about investigator Olivia Moreland that so thoroughly draws him in, reigniting a passion he hasn't felt in years?

Contains mature themes.

Will Thorne (Alex Wyndham) narrates brilliantly as always. The gothic and ghostly melodrama is fast paced and enjoyable.

Something different and I enjoyed the story and fantasy but did guess who one of the villains was earlier on that is why I made it a 4 star

Typical Will Thorne/Alex Wyndham narration full of passion and drama, fitting for this "American" Regency/Reformation romp with some hilarious faux pas of language as a result; did the people in the Middle Ages know they were in the Middle Ages? Very Amanda Quick style romance but without the Zainar.

It takes the MCs only an hour to scour his library for images of medieval costume, William Caxton eat your heart out! Bodices are removed, kisses are stolen, and ghosts walk through walls. Flash backs and flashes of nipple add spice and xest.

AMUSING ROMP

PS If you enjoy Will Thorne, check out Reign by Roxie Noir; a fab royal romance romp.

The story was riveting. In fact this was the only reason I listened until the end. The problem was the narrator. At the end of every single sentence, he lifted his intonation as though asking a question - whether he was describing a place, setting up a scene or when something exciting actually warranted it. It was really irritating and did not do justice to the writing.

I enjoyed the story however it was a little too long getting to the finale. The narrator spoiled it a bit for me, his voice was monotone with a strange surprise inflection. The author cleverly developed the characters through the story plot, and kept me listening though, so I did listen to the story until the end.

It was a good story, a little too long and I did not enjoy the narrator
