About this listen

"All right then, human," Jack said, a smirk playing on his lips. "We accept your terms. But you should know, we don't have to take what is already ours. She will seek us out when she's ready."

The town of Nothing is haunted…

Or so its citizens believe. Sixteen-year-old Nelly is skeptical of the stories until one night she spots a strange light sneaking through the abandoned house on her family’s farm.

When she investigates, she finds … fairies.

Within hours of this discovery, Nelly's grandmother is catatonic, and the otherworldly trespassers are offering up a cure. But only at a terrible price. It turns out that Nelly is a rare find for the fae. And the shocking reason why is buried in a past only the dead can remember.

The Ghosts of Nothing is the first book in a fantasy series based on traditional fairy mythology. It's like a spooky version of Harry Potter, but with fairies. Perfect for fans of Holly Black's The Cruel Prince series, Julie Kagawa's Iron Fey or Leigh Bardugo's Shadow and Bone.

I would 100% recommend this book. Beautifully written, with lots of fairy lore. Hopefully another book will follow.

I really injoyed this story. and the narration was ingaging and at times funny. especially when he is imitating a sassy teenage girl.
the story itself was great, and I loved that I couldn't always predict where the story would go next. when you read a lot of book in this genre, they usually become very predictable, but this one didn't. not for me at least.

great story

I listen to this authors YouTube on fairy stories and wanted to give her book a listen! It’s really good, and I love the characters and story building, i so hope there’s another book, and fingers crossed a little romance in between the action and her new powers!
The narrator of the story was very good but I was thrown off by it being a man, since it’s from the perspective of a 16 year old girl, you’d expect to hear a female voice and not a males voice. If there’s another book I’d love to hear a female narrator as it would really grip me into the story even more :) but he still did a good job displaying emotion and story telling ❤️

Worth the listen!
