About this listen
A clever thief. A disgraced mage. A kiss of poison....
Don't miss this romantic Beauty and the Beast trilogy!
Peronelle Beck longs for nothing more than to leave behind her thieving ways and pursue a life of honest work. But when her father lands himself neck-deep in debt, Nelle must take on a dangerous job if she hopes to save his life...a job that brings her to the shores of Roseward Isle.
For 15 years, Soran Silveri has fought to suppress the nightmarish monster stalking Roseward. His weapons are few and running low, and the curse placed upon him cripples his once unmatched power. Isolation has driven him to the brink of madness, and he knows he won’t be able to hold on much longer.
When a sharp-tongued, uncouth, and undeniably beautiful young woman shows up on his shore, Soran resolves to drive her away. He won’t be responsible for another death!
But Nelle is equally determined not to be frightened off by the hideously scarred mage. Not until she gets what she came for....
Can two outcasts thrown together in a tangle of lies discover they are each other’s only hope? Or will the haunted darkness of Roseward tear them apart?
For fans of Emma Hamm, Miranda Honfleur, Audrey Grey, and Grace Draven.

Roseward Isle is a place I definitely don't wanna find myself in, but it's the perfect setting for this eventful ride. So much so that, just like Nelle, I couldn't believe everything that happened in this book took place in just two days. Still, the pace was great, and the past/secrets are revealed in such a way that the reader can put the backstory together on their own, while still coming back for more. //
I seriously enjoyed the narrator's voices for Nelle and Soran, as well as the side characters we get to meet at the beginning of this book. The Thorn Maiden's voice was especially chilly/spooky in my opinion, so there were parts of this audio I couldn't listen to at night, lol. I think my only "complaint" comes from having listened to Amber Argyle's Stolen Enchantress before this one and wanting/hoping that the songs mentioned in Thief would be sung too. Still, I'm not holding it against her since that's my own personal preference, and, as previously mentioned, she did a great job with all the voices (and pretty much all the nuances). //
Overall, this is a great Dark Fantasy perfect for both fans of the genre and the author. It has a bit for everyone, from action interwoven with humor, to the beginnings of romance, as well as some major spooky/chilly factor. ~ 4.5 stars
PS: would it be too much to ask Soran to gift me a wyvern? #prettyplease? //
Content: sex: none, but there's a pretty steamy kissing scene where his shirt comes off and her clothes come dangerously close to do so too.
Language: yes, but it's the world's own form of it ("(seven) gods" being the most prominent).
Violence: yes, it is a Dark Fantasy after all. However, if you're OK with the prologue, you're OK with the rest of this book.
Beauty and the Beast with its own unique twist!
