Spectred Isle

Green Men Series, Book 1

By: KJ Charles

Narrated by: Ruairi Carter

Archaeologist Saul Lazenby has been all but unemployable since his disgrace during the War. Now he scrapes a living working for a rich eccentric who believes in magic. Saul knows it's a lot of nonsense...except that he begins to find himself in increasingly strange and frightening situations. And at every turn he runs into the sardonic, mysterious Randolph Glyde.

Randolph is the last of an ancient line of arcanists, commanding deep secrets and extraordinary powers as he struggles to fulfill his family duties in a war-torn world. He knows there's something odd going on with the haunted-looking man who keeps turning up in all the wrong places. The only question for Randolph is whether Saul is victim or villain.

Saul hasn't trusted anyone in a long time. But as the supernatural threat grows, along with the desire between them, he'll need to believe in evasive, enraging, devastatingly attractive Randolph. Because he may be the only man who can save Saul's life - or his soul.

Contains mature themes.

fantastical story, great book one

I enjoyed the way the story tied faxamal in with this tale of comarady and supernatural.

Fast paced enthralling storyline but over too soon!

I’ve loved everything I’ve read by KJ Charles. The Narrator of this book, (Rauiri Carter) wasn’t as good as Cornell Collins, who narrates a lot of KJC’s other books. R.Carter spoke very fast causing him to confuse characters’ voices. He also mispronounced: Irreparable, Macramé and rapprochement. Also, perhaps owing to the narration speed, this book seemed rather short. To the author: I’m gonna need you to write new content fast—I’m nearly finished reading everything you’ve written. More please! XX

Enjoyable listen, good narrator

Really enjoyed the characters and plot, even if I was a touch confused by the magic at times. The narrator was very talented; he had good, distinguishable voices for the characters, was easy to understand, and helped immerse me in the story. Definitely worth a listen!

Good listen

Not my favorite by KJ Charles, but still very enjoyable. Listened to it over one Saturday.

Where does the UK find its narrators?

I loved every word of this first book of The Green Man series. I devoutly hope the sequel will arrive soon! Ruairi Carter is a new name for me, but he did a brilliant job with this. The voices! The accents! It really gave an extra dimension to the story. KJ Charles hits every note with me. Stunning stories. Don't miss out on them.
