About this listen

Avalon stands revealed, but the war is far from over. For Layla Cassidy, it has only just begun.

Thrust into a new world full of magic and monsters, Layla has finally come to terms with her supernatural powers - and left her old life behind. But her enemies are relentless.

Sixteen months after her life changed forever, Layla and her team are besieged during a rescue attempt gone awry and must fight their way through to freedom. It turns out that Avalon has only grown since their last encounter, adding fresh villains to its horde. Meanwhile, revelations abound as Layla confronts twists and betrayals in her own life, with each new detail adding to the shadow that looms over her.

As Layla fights against the forces of evil, her powers begin to increase - and she discovers more about the darkness that lies in her past. As this same darkness threatens her future, will she be ready to fight for everything she holds dear?

Generally a good story but a little too middle class, gentille. How many times can a person be asked if she's OK?

Not quite up to the Hellrquin stories

Once again an outstanding book, beautifully written and with a wonderful narrator. Thank you Mr. McHugh I adore your characters, Remy I may be a little (perversely) in love with! Leah has matured into a real kickass female in a book full of kickass females. Thank you for that! Truly cannot wait for the next book and the next Chronicles after the Avalon trilogy.
Outstanding!!!

I'm unconvinced by the fact that these new characters are suddenly in control and giving the orders. The cameo performances of the big names from the previous series seem to be more as a reminder to 'keep reading because you're a Hellequin fan' than anything else. I am a Hellequin fan and I will keep listening but I really hope it gets better.

Disappointing

A good listen while driving. Only annoying thing was layahs bellyaching about her father it became very repetitive. If I had been reading I would have been able to skip ahead. Other than that enjoyed it.

Enjoyed listening while driving around while working.

The story and character's are developing and the story is drawing you in. Everything is coming to a head and you can see how the series are going to converge into one new super series.

Great story and narration cannot wait for more in the series. So happy Remy has found his potty mouth again !

Amazing as always

The narrators breathy, whisper tone is deeply annoying . The hellequin narrator (although male) was far better and carried off the female roles brilliantly. Current narrator makes it extremely hard to listen to and enjoy. Otherwise, a good story.

Narrator!!

It''s been written terribly! the author rehashes the same thing pretty much over and over again and uses weird ways of describing anger! The main character is constantly feeling 'anger bubble to the surface' or something along those lines. though written poorly, the reading of the book is quite good and the redeeming feature of this audiobook is that the world its based in is pretty interesting and the story though clichéd and predictable as hell is fairly enjoyable! if you like this kind of genre than you might enjoy listening to it but I don't think anyone could possibly enjoy reading it unless they're maybe under the age of 10.

Great story, Awful writing

Much as I hate to say it I am not impressed by these stories so far. Can't wait for Nate's return.

Hurry back Nate!
