Summary
ELSPETH NEEDS A MONSTER. THE MONSTER MIGHT BE HER.
An ancient, mercurial spirit is trapped inside Elspeth Spindle's head - she calls him the Nightmare. He protects her. He keeps her secrets. But nothing comes for free, especially magic.
When Elspeth meets a mysterious highwayman on the forest road, she is thrust into a world of shadow and deception. Together, they embark on a dangerous quest to cure the town of Blunder from the dark magic infecting it. As the stakes heighten and their undeniable attraction intensifies, Elspeth is forced to face her darkest secret yet: the Nightmare is slowly, darkly, taking over her mind. And she might not be able to stop him.
For fans of Uprooted and For the Wolf comes a gothic fantasy romance about a maiden who must unleash the monster within to save her kingdom.

The original storyline
This was a surprisingly good listen. I have the paperback but have never gotten to it on my TBR. When I saw it on audible I thought, meh, why not?
Narration was enjoyable, the actor very talented and each character given personality.
I’m completely engaged and will be getting book 2 asap.

A good story ruined by horrendous narration
So: the book isn't bad. It's not exactly scintillating prose, but the story romps along and the characters are fun, albeit a little formulaic.
Unfortunately, this is all irrelevant because the narration is so awful. I mean, I have never felt compelled to leave a negative review before about an audiobook, but this was so dire I had to. The voices are hilariously bad, the delivery over the top and melodramatic, and the pronunciation is so frequently wrong even my kids commented on it.
I would read the book yourself, rather than enduring this ham performance.
