About this listen

The second adult novel from the internationally bestselling author Melissa Marr

Chloe knew she shouldn’t have gone into the bar last night. Now, in addition to a pounding headache and weak limbs, she’s got the guilt of five years sobriety down the drain.

When she wakes, she’s not in the world she knows. She’s in The Wasteland, a world populated by monsters and unfamiliar landscapes, in the company of people just like her, pulled to the Wasteland out of time and place, for reasons no one knows or understands. Once there, though, their mission is clear: keep the peace, protect each other, and try not to die, because sometimes, after six days of death, you might not wake up.

Critic reviews

‘No one builds worlds like Melissa Marr’
Charlaine Harris

‘A deliciously creepy tale that is as skilfully wrought as it is spellbindingly imagined’
Kelley Armstrong, NYT bestselling author of the Women of the Otherworld series

Praise for Melissa Marr:

‘Marr offers readers a fully imagined faery world that runs alongside an everyday world, which even non-fantasy (or faerie) lovers will want to delve into’ Publisher’s Weekly, starred review

What would have made The Arrivals better?

Different narrator who knows the proper pronunctiation of words!

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Arrivals?

Story was unusual for Melissa Marr, I could identify with the key characters

Who might you have cast as narrator instead of Matt Burns?

Anyone, he should not be allowed to narrate anymore books

You didn’t love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities?

Melissa Marr's storytelling (not quite ruined by Matt Burns' narration)

Narrator awful, don't listen !!
