Summary
I'm Ivy Lane, and if I never see another faerie again, it'll be too soon.
Twenty years after the faeries came and destroyed the world as we knew it, I use my specialist skills to keep rogue faeries in line and ensure humans and their magically gifted neighbors can coexist (relatively) peacefully.
Nobody knows those skills came from the darkest corner of Faerie itself.
When a human child disappears, replaced with a faerie changeling, I have to choose between taking the safe road or exposing my own history with the faeries to the seductively dangerous head of the Mage Lords. He's the exact kind of distraction I don't need, but it's work with him or lose my chance to save the victims. It'll take all my skills to catch the kidnappers and stop Faerie's dark denizens overrunning the city - but if the faerie lords find out about the magic I stole last time I went into their realm, running won't save me this time.

A brilliant urban fantasy to start a series
I love urban fantasy and this ticks all of my boxes.
The world was well formed and explained, believable and perfect for the story. The magic system, though a little confusing at first and not completely fleshed out yet I don't think, was well formed with a clear hierarchy as well as different strengths and weaknesses that prevented any one race/faction from being overpowered to the point of obscenity.
Ivy Lane was tough as nails and beautifully brusque, and her ability to admit to her flaws and second guess herself was a breath of fresh air in comparison to some of the lead characters of the books I've been reading lately. Mage Lord Vance Colton was proud, bossy and stubborn initially - to the point of being annoying I might add - but as the story progressed and his character was properly revealed I came to really like him (even if he was a little terrifying at times).
I would have liked to have seen and learnt more about Drake and Isabel, but given this is the start of a series I'm hopeful I'll get my wish in later books.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book and I'm looking forward to getting sucked back in with the next in the series in the not too distant future.

Gets better as you go on
Liked the storyline although did drag on a little in places. Characters were good to get to know.
Disliked the language (swearing) within the book as is quite a lot, too much for my tastes.
I will sample book 2 before buying but would consider listening on through the series.
Book started slow but soon warmed up.

Odd accent
I don’t usually do a review but the narrator was v odd. I was distracted from the story trying to work out what accent the reader was going for. Posh cockney I think. Anyway not sure about getting the next book. Story promising

Faery Blood
I enjoyed this book. The narrator is very good but she made a few mistakes, which most American narrators do. The pronunciations aren't always correct. For example 'shone ' is pronounced as 'shon' in this country another one is 'thourgh' she pronounced it as 'thuro' and there are a few other's. But that's just nitpicking. It can get annoying though.

Great book just a pity about the reader
love the book and looked forward to the audiobook. It is a pity that the reader can't pronounce the English language properly.
Other than that a perfect way for me to do 2 of my hobbies at the same time.

Narrator is appalling, story not much better
I finished it at 2x speed because I can't bear to leave a book unfinished, but the narration nearly pushed me to. I listen to a lot of books and can be confident in saying this is the worst narrator I have ever heard, straight from the Dick van Dyke school of terrible British accents. Inexcusable with so many amazing narrators available from so many different nations. The story doesn't help, it plays to a lot of the worst tropes of this genre and is pretty shallow. I won't be listening to the rest of the series.
