I wasn’t sure what to expect of the story when I began the book. I was immediately pulled in by Warin and his brother and his love, Thea. The machinations and jealousy surprised me. I don’t listen to many vampire books, so I wasn’t familiar with ancients or the concept of them. I thought the story moved along well, but it is a novella, so it’s only part. I was impressed by David Brenin with his awesome performance of the characters with their distinctive voices. Nora Ash is a very talented author. I would love to binge listen to all of the books in this series at once to get the full effect of all the characters and what happens over the span of time. I requested this review copy audiobook and have voluntarily written this review. Kudos to Nora for the twist at the end.
