About this listen

Hidden at the crossroads of the world, an ancient race battles to protect humanity, even as it dies from within. Ava Matheson came to Istanbul looking for answers, but others came looking for her. A reckless warrior guards her steps, but will Malachi's own past blind him to the truth of who Ava might be? While ancient forces gather around them, both Ava and Malachi search for answers. Whispering voices. Deadly touch. Their passion should be impossible... or it could be the only thing that will keep them alive.

The Scribe is the first book in the Irin Chronicles, the new paranormal romance series from Elizabeth Hunter, author of the Elemental Mysteries.

This is one of my 'go to' books on kindle, so when I started using Audible I tried the sample. And bought it immediately.

I like Elizabeth Hunter's way of devising beings who are 'other' but exist in the normal world in a viable way. No alien worldbuilding which will either engage or repel. Her books are primarily about personal interaction, with (usually) a good story as binding. Her descriptions of place are shining vignettes. The story, after several rereadings, still makes me smile. And the end still makes me cry. No spoilers. Get it.

The narrator. Perfect voice. No rubbish whining for females, just a lightening of tone which works SO well. I looked to see what else he's recorded - the 'Grey' books, not surprisingly, and other bedroom books. Get out of there, man, and record more real stuff! Only minor complaints about pronunciation, although so much less troublesome than many American narrators. Just wish he'd checked the nordic/germanic pronunciation of certain vowel/consonant combinations _ I caught myself correcting aloud... But 99/100 is a fine score. Just a wonderful reader. Yes.

Try it, download it, enjoy it. Then move on to The Singer. And there are more... But probably different narrators. Boo.

Almost perfect.

The real magic is that I just finished listening to a book that took 9 hours and 24 minutes and I never got bored or lost focus. Just buy the book for yourself and start listening to it right away. Can not recommend it enough.
What can I say ... the story is written masterfully. Congratulation to Elizabeth Hunter!!! Thank you so much!!! And the narrator chosen for the book was a stroke of genius. Perfection. This is the book I have waiting for for such a long time. Utter perfection.

WHOOSAH !!!

I loved it. There were parts that were very slow paced, but then it picked up again. I would recommend this if you like paranormal romance .

very romantic

Any additional comments?

love the performance! amazing voice throughout and the characters really came to life.
The story was a bit slow at times and doesn't push me to read the next volume.
Ends on massive cliffhanger as well.

yes and no

Zachary Webber could probably read the phone book (yes, I'm that old) and it would be a great listen. This story was lovely, may have to cancel all plans and buy the rest of the series.
