Summary
From Steve McHugh, the bestselling author of The Hellequin Chronicles, comes a new urban fantasy series packed with mystery, action, and, above all, magic.
Layla Cassidy has always wanted a normal life, and the chance to put her father's brutal legacy behind her. And in her final year of university she's finally found it. Or so she thinks.
But when Layla accidentally activates an ancient scroll, she is bestowed with an incredible, inhuman power. She plunges into a dangerous new world, full of mythical creatures and menace - all while a group of fanatics will stop at nothing to turn her abilities to their cause.
To protect those she loves most, Layla must take control of her new powers...before they destroy her. All is not yet lost - there is a light shining, but Layla must survive long enough to see it.

Great intro to a new story line
I absolutely love this author, his previous series got me completely hooked and had such a fantastic narrator.
A glimmer of hope took me a little while to get into with a combination of both new and old characters it kept me interested and the second half of the book has made me eager for more.
I found the narrator a bit more wooden but by the end of the book I couldn’t imagine anyone else.
P.s What happened to Remie’s fowl mouth I think the most obscene thing he said was arse very un-Remie like

A Glimmer Of hope.
Congratulations Mr. McHugh what a fantastic book. Thoroughly enjoyed every moment. Great pace and so incredibly addicting. Can’t wait for the next 2 books. Love the whole Avalon world ( Hellequin Chronicles were outstanding- looking forward to hearing more about Nate too!).
Layla Chloe and Casey with the rest of Tommy’s team well just wonderful. And of course one of my favourite characters is Remy. Adorable reprobate!!
Thankyou
Well narrated too! Well done Elizabeth!

The beginning of a brilliant legacy to Hellequin!
I've been a huge fan of Steve McHugh's Hellequin Chronicles since the first book. When the final book in the series was released at the end of 2017 I really hoped that we'd get an opportunity to return to the same universe, and A Glimmer of Hope is a spectacular return!
The first book in The Avalon Chronicles incorporates characters that we've all grown to love throughout the Hellequin Chronicles while developing the expanded universe. Elizabeth Knowelden gives fantastic, immersive narration throughout.
I really can't wait for the next book in the series!

Good book, not so good narrator.
I thought the story wad good the way it incorporated everything it gives me hope that the epic Nate Garrot will be back with a bang! narrator wasn't good in this book I found her a little boring.

Girl Power
Could have been slightly cheesy but wasn't! Enjoyed learning about the characters and engaged with them. Story had some elements which have been "done before" but enough fresh stuff to make it work well. Loved the narrator. Thank you.

The fight of all fights
A “ Fabulous” story. Action from chapter one through to the end. Real “ kick ass” female characters made the story exciting and enjoyable and I just loved the magic and mayhem .

Continuing the ride
I loved the Hellequin series and this is a great spin off. There are a lot of returning characters who I loved - a smart mouthed fox being one - and some new ones who I am already attached to. I can’t wait for the next adventure.

Good book
Our hero did do the me me me thing, I have to save the day. Which is fine but her inner struggle does ware after the 3rd or 4 th time. I refer to the daddy issues rather than the demon. Having said all that the story is entertaining, the action excellent and everyone gets a good beating, here here.
