A Touch of Poison

Shadows of the Tenebris Court, Book 2

In Elfhame, bargains are currency, lies are weapons, and your heart is your greatest weakness.

Reeling from Bastian's revelations, Kat wakes from her dire illness wanting nothing more than to sever all ties with the man who betrayed her. But fate has a different plan—she's trapped in Elfhame, the fae realm where nothing is as it seems. And worse, she's trapped with him, reliant on his touch to stave off a poison that threatens her very life.

Thrust into the center of Dusk and Dawn Courts, they must balance the two in order to maintain a delicate peace. But in a world where alliances are forged and shattered in a heartbeat, danger looms. A mysterious group infiltrates the city, and spies whisper of an ancient artifact powerful enough to destroy an entire court.

As enemies close in from all sides and attacks on the city escalate, Kat and Bastian must unearth deadly secrets and their own complicated feelings to survive—or risk a war to destroy faekind itself.

Full of betrayal, bargains, and broken hearts, A Touch of Poison is the spellbinding second book in Shadows of the Tenebris Court, a searing romantic fantasy trilogy perfect for fans of The Bridge Kingdom and A Court of Thorns and Roses. Intended for mature listeners.

Better story progression, rough narration

I don’t like to bash on narrators, but I have to agree with the other review’s, the male narrator was not it for this book. The out of place inhales made all of Bastians chapters feel like one big run on sentence that I would just start tuning out. That’s the best I can explain it. The story line moved along at a decent pace. A little predictable. I do like the characters though and am sticking around for their banter and sass.

Male narrator’s cadance is PAINFUL

Female narrator is excellent! But I find the need to skip male narrator portions. So missing parts of story.
Get the book. Not this audible. It is a serious waste of a credit.

Challenging Narration

The male narrator in this production didn’t have the right timing which made it difficult to finish the production. The story is a good one and as you’d expect being a listener of this flavor.

Such a good read!!!

I am not one who usually read fantasy romances, but this series definitely has changed my mind! Such a great storyline and characters. I can’t wait for the next book in the series!

Loved this one

I really enjoyed the pacing of this book as well as the character development throughout. Love the female narrator. As everyone else has already mentioned, the male narrator sucks. He finishes every sentence as if he’s in the middle of the sentence? And he sounds so goofy? Thank goodness Kat’s pov chapters still had the female narrator doing bastians voice!
