About this listen
No one creates realms like New York Times best-selling author Anne Bishop. Now in a thrilling new fantasy series, enter a world inhabited by the Others, unearthly entities - vampires and shape-shifters among them - who rule the Earth and whose prey are humans.
As a cassandra sangue, or blood prophet, Meg Corbyn can see the future when her skin is cut - a gift that feels more like a curse. Meg's Controller keeps her enslaved so he can have full access to her visions. But when she escapes, the only safe place Meg can hide is at the Lakeside Courtyard - a business district operated by the Others.
Shape-shifter Simon Wolfgard is reluctant to hire the stranger who inquires about the Human Liaison job. First, he senses she's keeping a secret, and second, she doesn't smell like human prey. Yet a stronger instinct propels him to give Meg the job. And when he learns the truth about Meg and that she's wanted by the government, he'll have to decide if she's worth the fight between humans and the Others that will surely follow.

Human laws do not apply in the territory controlled by the Others - vampires, shape-shifters, and paranormal beings even more deadly. And this is a fact that humans should never, ever forget.... After her divorce, Vicki DeVine took over a rustic resort near Lake Silence - in a human town that is not human controlled. Towns like Vicki's have no distance from the Others, the dominant predators that rule most of the land and all of the water throughout the world. And when a place has no boundaries, you never really know what's out there watching you.

When everything is on the line, how far will you go to protect those you love? What if the cost of saving them is your soul? Would you pay it? I thought I was prepared for what was coming; that if I made sacrifices, I could win this game. I’m no longer afraid of the darkness or the monsters that hide in the shadows. I’ve become what I feared most, allowing it in to protect those I loved. Sometimes it takes a monster to win. Sometimes to fight monsters, you have to become one. My only fear is…can I come back from it?

Love this series
I honestly absolutely love this book was so glad it was on here as I can no longer get the first two from the library as their "too old" and no longer carry them, and wanting to re-read them I was glad to at least have this option despite rather having a physical book in hand to read. the only negative I have for it is that I wish the narrator had more range in her voice to differentiate the characters better and to better depict the characters, also she has such a soft voice that at it made me sleepy... and I still have the second one to listen to 😅 other then that it was wonderful.

Love this series
Anne Bishop gives an entirely different view of shifters and vampires in this series and makes you wonder what a wolf becoming human would be like. She teaches tolerance of differences in an entertaining way and you can’t help but feel for the characters. The readers voice is pleasant and she pronounces some names differently than I did when reading the books, but does a good job.

Got hooked on the series
Loved this story about coexistence and conflict between humans and supernatural creatures [enough to overlook plot holes and a helpless heroine]. I became invested in the characters, and enjoyed the parallels with our real world. The narrator is fantastic and has just the right tone and inflection for each character. I recommend it for a unique twist on werewolf, vampire, and psychic tales. Note: There is violence, but no sex in this story.

Great story, great narrator
The only reason this doesn't get 5 stars for story is because Anne Bishop's villains in this book (and frankly in all of her books) are very predictable. But honestly that's half the fun---it's nice to know who the bad guys are and feel really good when they get stomped. You still REALLY care about the characters and want them to thrive.
Likewise the narration is excellent... Alexandra Harris nails the character voices and emotion like a freaking champion. Buttt in all honesty her sentence reading is sometimes a little stilted, like maybe she didn't read the whole sentence before starting it so there are pauses and odd inflections.
But she still really brings these characters to life. I was riveted and found myself struggling to turn it off because it was so engaging. Definitely recommend!!

18 hours. At east twice as long as it should have been. At hour 7 i was wondering when it would get interesting. Had to bump up the playback speed just to hopefully get to the good part, but it never got good. Fail. I’ll be returning this one.
