Emergence

Eclipsed Evolution: Phase 3

By: Kim Harrison

Narrated by: Xe Sands

For better or worse, a solar eclipse brought humans and paranormal beings together, sparking one woman’s battle to master magic or lose our world, in this riveting serialized adventure from the New York Times bestselling author of The Hollows.

As time has passed, Dr. Renee Caisson has begun to see the demonic, alien August as more than a research subject or an unlikely colleague—they’ve become friends. And together, she and August have helped the two societies of Nextdoor and Earth through the confusion of first contact, the danger of misunderstandings, and the anger of mistreatment.

But when a popular blogger and conspiracy theorist twists August’s words, an uproar ensues, turning a powerful section of human society against the Neighbors—and resulting in Renee’s house arrest. “To protect you,” her could-be boyfriend, Major Jackson says, though that’s not how Renee sees it.

Torn between duty and friendship, August jumps Renee to freedom using the labyrinth, fully aware the journey might reveal more to her than she should know. The wily Neighbor has pieced together that Renee has been unconsciously using their magic, a fact that, if revealed, will cause more, not less conflict between their worlds.

Narrator is soft spoken

Other than the narrator being difficult to hear, I love this story! Can't wait to hear more from this world

not a big fan

I've really tried to like the series, but it's quite difficult to like a protagonist who acts like a recalcitrant hedonistic teenager instead of a grown woman. not likely to continue the series as there's no point in getting myself pissed off unnecessarily

narrator did a great job with this unusual story. love all the twists and turns. Can't wait for the next one.

love all of Kim's books. It's great getting a new series from her. love the story is so unique..

Mumbled and difficult to understand narration

I will need to go back and actually read these books for a complete understanding. The pronunciation was frequently incomprehensible and garbled. Narration made for a difficult listening experience.

Short but intense

Short but intense read. Good update on what is happening with August, Renee and the state of affairs. Looking forward to the exciting finale
