About this listen

Archaeologist Saul Lazenby has been all but unemployable since his disgrace during the War. Now he scrapes a living working for a rich eccentric who believes in magic. Saul knows it's a lot of nonsense...except that he begins to find himself in increasingly strange and frightening situations. And at every turn he runs into the sardonic, mysterious Randolph Glyde.

Randolph is the last of an ancient line of arcanists, commanding deep secrets and extraordinary powers as he struggles to fulfill his family duties in a war-torn world. He knows there's something odd going on with the haunted-looking man who keeps turning up in all the wrong places. The only question for Randolph is whether Saul is victim or villain.

Saul hasn't trusted anyone in a long time. But as the supernatural threat grows, along with the desire between them, he'll need to believe in evasive, enraging, devastatingly attractive Randolph. Because he may be the only man who can save Saul's life - or his soul.

Contains mature themes.

A very enjoyable book. I would advise listening to 'The Casebook of Simon Feximal' before you listen to this title as it will make more sense if you do. The narration was super.

Lovely

The book was solid and the characters easy to get into the mindset of. Although upon realising the narrator sounded somewhat like Alan Titchmarsh on Time Team, it was very difficult to shake. But overall great book and I'm bummed the sequel isn't focused upon the same two characters.

It's KJ Charles, we already know its gonna be good

KJ Charles has the ability to write utter nonsense in a way that is gripping, humorous, cerebral, emotive and historically accurate all at once. I’m used to hearing her work read by Cornell Collins but I found this new narrator just as good, with a great character range. An excellent and wonderfully bizarre story as always.

Classic KJ Charles

I adore this book, and the audiobook is well-produced, clearly read, and the narrator does a decent range of voices. As a matter of personal preference I found the voices a little too “light” and chipper in places - Saul in particular was higher and more airy than the stiff-upper-lip-desperately-trying-to-hold-it-together tone I had imagined, but it didn’t spoil my overall enjoyment. I think the narrator’s voice for the (sort-of) prequel for this book, The Secret Casebook of Simon Feximal, fit the tone of the text better, but again: didn’t spoil the book overall, and this narrator reads clearly and accurately.

Wonderful story, clearly narrated, but not sure the narrator’s voice “fit” for me

I really enjoyed the mix of archaic ghost story and developing love affair. The narrator was amazing at giving the characters completely different voices.

Absorbing story with excellent narration

I was thrown initially because Saul has a much lighter voice than I expected and sounds younger than I had envisaged. However once I'd got used to him, I really enjoyed the narration. the production is very good, seamless.

Very professional

This is the second audiobook I’ve listened to by this author and I absolutely loved it. I like the paranormal way that the two men get to know each other and fall in love. Great supernatural adventure with a tidy satisfying twist in the end. 

Such a satisfying ending

I've (recently) found that you can never go wrong with a KJ Charles book & this book is further proof of that 😀

I saw a comment about the narrator's choice of voice for Saul & that it was effeminate... I didn't find it to be, I saw it more as the narrator's choice to portray Saul's voice as boyish because Saul was both such a pure soul & a novice to the supernatural world!

I loved both the story & the begrudging way they both fell in love along the way!

I liked that Randolph is a cantankerous soul, but whenever he was with Saul, you could see him mellow out... too cute!

A great story with romance, action, suspense, fantasy, the supernatural & a nice group of people!

a spookily wonderful love story ;)

The story and characters  are engaging and the narrator has very distinctive voices for each character, always a plus for me. Hope there is more soon.

Enjoyable Story

This was a brilliant story with a very sensual theme running through it that made it different to any similar book I've read. I loved it.

Great raunchy occult tale
