Hidden in Smoke

Phoenix Rising, Book 2

By: Harper Wylde, Quinn Arthurs

Narrated by: Heather Costa, Brandon Utah

My nightmares have started closing in. Now I'm just trying to survive them. When my past comes back to haunt me, I find myself relying on the men I've come to care so much about. With their help, and the help of my best friend, I'm trying to navigate the threats - old and new.

When I'm summoned to go before the Council, I have no idea what to expect. Thrust into a world of politics and status I'm not sure I agree with, my unease grows as I struggle to find my place. When my powers develop with the help of my Phoenix, I feel more prepared to take on the unknowns stacking up against me. Will my guys and I be able to face the trials in our path, or will the secrets of a world that's hidden in smoke destroy us before we've even started?

Contains mature themes.

Uuh...

Great beginning to an interesting story, but the accents are... a lot. I have to rewind a lot because i keep laughing.

Male narrator is amazing!

I really think that the male narrator is an under utilized talent as I haven’t found much else he has narrated because he did an AMAZING job! He handles 5 different main male characters with distinctly different accents (including Irish, British, and Australian) fantastically well AND he really captured their temperaments and attitudes. I wish this book was duet narration because the female narrator, while fine as Nix, wasn’t able to even come close with her versions of the male characters. It made for some jarring listening.

Steamy and Mysterious

This multi-perspective fantasy speaks to every repressed emotion and sensation alike. Not for immature audiences.

Growth.

The world building and growth for world and characters are fun and detailed. Like very much like so far.

Narration is a mixed bag... again

Brandon Utah should do all the narration. Every character he does is distinctive and performed well. Heather Costa has a pleasant voice but only ONE voice with little range.
