About this listen

Marley Fox, orphan, foundling, and poacher, is born towards the end of the 19th century at a time when humans are under attack from the Dark Angels who harvest souls for their own nefarious aims. The youngster’s only family is Black Annie, a recluse who has occult powers. The Angels of Light are attempting to protect humans, and Marley is to play a part in the fight against those who would destroy their world.

While out poaching, Marley is shot and badly injured. During his fight for survival, Marley has to battle a vicious Ice Angel. He is thrown in prison, where he is befriended by a huge Irishman, James Finnegan. An attempt is made to kill Marley. Finnegan and Marley escape and go on the run through England. Eventually, they take refuge in Ireland. They are still not safe, and they are attacked by the Dark Forces.

It is one crisis after another as Marley and James battle to survive. The future fortunes of the world hinge on the ability of Marley and James to survive against the forces of the Angels of Darkness.

I enjoyed listening to this book, there’s plenty of action to keep you interested and a good theme. It’s well narrated with good character voices.
It felt a little coincidental and a little too one disaster after another at times, but definitely worth a listen.
This is my honest opinion on a free review copy.

Enjoyable story

This book is a weird mix of fallen angels, witches, poaching, prison breaks, British colonial takeover and war in Africa. I don't think this book really reached it's potential. The storyline was quite disjointed because of the way it was put together. It felt like several different themed books had been combined together in one but didn't quite fit. I wasn't interested in the British Colonialism aspects of the book, if I had known it was included I wouldn't have chosen this book. The one 'intimate' scene was very odd and not very believable considering the abuse the women had been subjected to since childhood, and the circumstances & danger the men were in at the time. I also wouldn't classify this book as horror, more fantasy. Overall it wasn't a book I liked or enjoyed.

I was given this book for free of my own choosing and I voluntarily left this review.
