About this listen

On the west coast of Ireland, two strangers united by their shared memories of a forgotten realm struggle to reconcile the lives they’ve known here with who they once were. But for those who can witness their memories, their past identities may be a secret worth dying for.

After the sudden death of her twin, Roe is desperate for a fresh start in Ireland. But when she begins work at a hotel in the foothills of County Kerry, a centuries-old ledger reveals she’s one of the few who can relive the memories of Ruhaven—a forgotten world with a deadly history. As the first twin ever born in the Ledger, what killed Roe’s sister is now hunting her too—and her only hope is the one man who’s survived Ruhaven’s curse.

Exiled from Ruhaven and determined to conceal his past, Bryn Stornoway’s redemption depends on ensuring Roe’s survival—even if the brewing attraction between them violates Ruhaven’s laws.

As danger closes in, Roe and Bryn must confront the secrets of their intertwined pasts to uncover the truth behind her sister’s death. Before it finds them.

So, this was an interesting find! The narration and writing were both lovely, and this was an interesting, unique take on a portal fantasy. The (very) slowburn romance was well executed with solid chemistry & tension, but fair warning, this book doesn't really stand alone. While this world and magic system was obviously lovingly crafted with fantastic imagery, I personally had some trouble appreciating the concept of Ruhaven's mechanics, Roe's ups and downs were a little frustrating to me, I was a little disappointed by the lack of satisfaction in the ending, and I found the pacing tested my patience (though take that with a grain of salt, because, as a rule, I like short, fast-paced reads and I'm definitely not a fan of cliffhangers.) That said, if you're interested in an atmospheric fantasy that takes its time as it bridges worlds with solid side of slowburn romance, then I'd give this one a try. Thanks to the author for the audible code!
