About this listen

I've always known my partner has a dark side, but I've just discovered he's pure evil.

I’ve fully committed to being a Keeper of the Bounds between the fae and human realms, but I have to admit, I’m struggling to trust my partner, Lucas. We really didn’t have the best start, not to mention he’s so secretive, and it doesn’t help that I’m unnerved by the attraction between us.

On top of that, the bounds are splitting, the cracks of dark oblivion growing by the day. We have to put a stop to their expansion right now, because the consequences would mean the end of, well… everything.

Thinking his family may be involved, Lucas heads to Grimmere, his fae homeland, to find out what’s going on. Does he want my help? Nope. I have strict instructions to stay home and look after things here, which only adds to my general distrust.

But when a reliable source informs me that Lucas’s life is in perilous danger, I have no choice but to head to Grimmere. What I find there leaves me reeling. I now know who and what my partner is, and it’s blacker than sin.

With flawed characters and strong emotional arcs, the Folkloric series weaves a beguiling hidden fae world with epic stakes and all the feels. The chosen one and the perfect hero were so traumatised by the goblins, they upped and left for another book.

The audiobook is equally enjoyable, if not more so, as the paper version. Third book in this wonderful series. Read/listen to the books in order. Urban fantasy with a French setting. Action packed, lots of humour, magic potions, and a selection of characters to entertain - cheer with or boo. The border between human and Fae realms continues to be challenged. As does Camille’s relationship with Lucas. She can’t make up her mind about her feelings for him. Maybe being introduced to his family will help her decide. Then again maybe not as she soon finds out that they are completely dastardly and up to what could only be described as possibly catastrophic deeds. Honesty is going to be her best ally. Thank you to Karenza Grant for the audio ARC. The views expressed are all mine, freely given.

This super fantasy series got a little darker, but the humour always shines

A brilliantly written UF read (the series keeps getting better), set in a small village the south of France. With folklore, magic, humor, family and friendships, action, adventure, great characters, a dash of romance and an army of tiny men with axes who live for pillaging and a good fight (though they're very polite).

This follows on nicely from "Folkloric Lure" with Camille settling into her training as a Keeper. After a fight with his brother, Elivorn, Lucas is called away to visit his family in Fae and tells her to stay at home, but when she gets a warning from Mushum that Lucas' life is in danger she knows she has to find away to help him, though when she gets to Grimmere where his family live she's not prepared for what she discovers.

Lucas hasn't been entirely truthful about who he is but he had been honest that uninvited guests don't last long. His solution is for them to pretend to be mates, though you get the feeling that he isn't entirely acting. But what are his family up to with the Bounds and, ignoring her attraction for him, can Camille trust Lucas?

I loved how we learn more about Lucas and his Drac family in this (the sibling rivalry is brilliant); as well as meeting new characters, learning about different Fae and watching characters and relationships grow. I also love how the tension between Lucas and Camille is growing, as well as the moments of humor (particularly the mix-up with the potions).

Another great story by Karenza, with a huge mix of fae, goblins, elfs, and other creatures; and not forgetting the Men of Bedeilhac.

I could not put down and enjoyed listening to it just as much, with Liz May Brice bringing all of the characters to life.
