About this listen

Summer storms are ravaging the town, but the most brutal storm lies within me.

Lucas is the problem. There’s always been a spark between us, but with everything we’ve been through in Grimmere, not to mention our close proximity in training each day, that spark has stoked to a blaze. We have to raise some boundaries—and pronto. There’s no way I’d risk our friendship and Keeper partnership by doing something stupid… again.

But when we’re shown a vision of our shaky beginnings by a terrifying old crone who lives in a hut (you know the type), our mess of a drunken hookup that we’d conveniently blanked returns. Only now I can see it clearly, and it wasn’t a mess, it was utterly unbelievable. And if Lucas’s devouring gaze is anything to go by, he’s feeling it too.

I’m telling myself it’s physical attraction and nothing more. Better that than face the tempest inside… All until my whirl of emotions attracts the attention of a demonic presence hellbent on destroying the town. The storm to end storms is brewing, and I might just be the cause.

This is a brilliantly written UF read, and the series just keeps getting better, set in a small village in the south of France. With French folklore, myths, magic, curses, humor, banter, family and friendships, action, adventure, great characters, a dash of romance and an army of tiny prehistoric warriors who live for pillaging and a good fight (though they're very polite about it).

Following on from their mate ruse in Grimmere for Lucas' family, Camille and Lucas are called to meet with the council but receive a request to visit La Vieille before the meeting, where they find out more about their roles as Keepers, and the Bond that they will share.

But there's a storm building each evening and Camille keeps being pulled to visit Cap de Couronnes where she feels she can let go of her stress (Lucas' pranks aren't helping, neither is being thrown in the river), though she's never sure how she gets home afterwards. Lucas is struggling with his own problems and monstrous drac nature.

Age noted - the fae age. I swallowed. It was incomprehensible, but it also meant I'd slept with a two-thousand-six-hundred-and-ninety-three-year-old, which was beyond creepy.
"Mentally, I'm thirty-one," Lucas muttered.

With local farmers dying in the storms, the D&D group becoming more reckless in their visits to Fae and tensions building between the pair; can Camille find a way to work with Lucas, and resist the primal attraction that seems to be growing still between them. Can they stop the deaths (and sort the teens out), and will she realise and accept the truth of their relationship before it's too late?

Another great story by Karenza Grant, with a huge mix of fae, goblins, elves, gods, and other creatures; and not forgetting the Men of Bedeilhac. It ends with a bit of a cliffhanger and I can't wait to find out what happens next in this fantastic series.

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

I received a free copy of this book from the author and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I’ve now listened to the audiobook and also read the book. Both brilliant. The audiobook brings forth even more tension to the story. They just keep getting better. French mountain/bordering on Fae land urban fantasy, with romance, fallouts, lots of humour, cafe delights, and some fights. Camille and Lucas are at it again, bickering away at each other. Attraction be damned, let’s not go there, oh no!. But storms are brewing in the French mountains, and it’s up to the two them to get it together, along with their new friends, to find out what’s happening and put a stop to them. Easier said than done. This the fourth book in the series, the first three audiobooks are superb as well. Listen to them all in order if you really want to understand the overall story line. Thank you to Karenza Grant for the ARC. The views expressed are all mine, freely given.

Superbly entertaining fantasy
