Summary

The launch of a gripping new supernatural terror trilogy by the acclaimed author of Coldbrook, The Silence, and the Alien-Predator Rage War trilogy

There's an underground black market for arcane things. Akin to the trade in rhino horns or tiger bones, this network traffics in remains of gryphons, faeries, goblins, and other fantastic creatures. 

When her fiance Vince goes missing, Angela Gough, an American criminology student, discovers he was a part of this secretive trade. It's a big-money business-shadowy, brutal, and sometimes fatal. As the trail leads her deeper into London's dark side, she crosses paths with a crime lord whose life is dedicated to collecting such relics. 

Then Angela discovers that some of these objects aren't as ancient as they seem. Some of them are fresh.

Enjoyable Read

I was surprised at the sudden twist in the storyline, it was all beginning to feel a little bit slow and dry but then whoosh, the real story began.

I finished this pretty quickly because I found out this was the first part of a trilogy.

Straigh onto the next installment shortly after a quick coffee break.

Thank you Tim Lebbon for your hard work and top notch writings.

Weirdly focused on sex

Did not finish, got halfway. Uninteresting and just weirdly centered on and around sex - the main characters keeps referring to and reflecting on the last time they had sex as a sort of checkpoint, the main characters' neighbours continual banging is mentioned a few times [too many], the mythical creatures are of course also those connected to sexual/ erotic characteristics. I don't consider myself a prude, in this book the recurring references steals the focus from the storyline and becomes tiresome.

I wasn’t sure, but then I was hooked

Fantastical content and engaging story. I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. The prologue left me with questions at the end, but I can forgive that. There are also some perspective jumps that left me momentarily confused too. But overall I really enjoyed it.

Would happily use a credit for this book.

Took me about half an hour to tune into the narrators voice. Once I was tuned in I really enjoyed the book, would happily pay a credit, it is a lot better than some other titles that are included.

It’s all true

Thoroughly enjoyable tale of the unseen world that exists in parallel to our somewhat mundane excuse for life?

not for me

I really like the premise but somehow it just doesn't work. Full of tired clichés to the point where you can accurately guess what's going to happen and what's going to be said in the dialogue. I really tried to get through this, even upping the narration speed but to no avail. I have given up with 3hrs to go. It's simply very dull

Promising Premise

The premise was there and intriguing but just didn't quite get to the gripping the edge of your seat in anxious anticipation of what's next. The narration was great and helped keep the storying going. Good for something to listen to on a long commute.
