About this listen

Her gift can save...or it can kill.

Three weddings. Three funerals. Alessa's gift from the gods is supposed to magnify a partner's magic, not kill every suitor she touches.

Now, with only weeks left until a hungry swarm of demons devours everything on her island home, Alessa is running out of time to find a partner and stop the invasion. When a powerful priest convinces the faithful that killing Alessa is the island's only hope, her own soldiers try to assassinate her.

Desperate to survive, Alessa hires Dante, a cynical outcast marked as a killer, to become her personal bodyguard. But as rebellion explodes outside the gates, Dante's dark secrets may be the biggest betrayal. He holds the key to her survival and her heart, but is he the one person who can help her master her gift or destroy her once and for all?

I've read this before physically when it came out, but as I wanted to do a reread I thought I'd try it on audio.I'm so glad I did as it was fantastic, and the narration was perfect.

Loved!

This was a wonderful debut and I can’t wait for book 2. Loved the character development and as well as the relationships (friendship and romantic relationship) that were formed throughout this book.
