Publisher's Summary
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.

Enjoyable
Interesting story and characters. The female narrator was excellent . I’m sorry to say the male narrator, Liam, was disappointing…quite robotic at times. It detracted from the story.

Great story, narration is a bit wanting.
I’m really enjoying this series, the storyline is good, a bit of spice and some humor but the big downer for me is guy who narrates the character Bastian… he’s so monotone and robotic, it almost sounds like they’ve had it narrated with AI l, he does my head in and I find my mind wandering when he’s speaking. I’m sticking it out though and hoping he hasn’t narrated the next book in the series. The female narrator is good though.

Great story, but the male narrator...
This story is fun, emotional and intriguing. The narrator Sarah Sampino is amazing and delivered a wonderful performance, but the male narrator, Liam Price almost ruined this entire book for me. His lack of emotion and a weird habit of turning the inflection up at the end of every sentence would have been a better fit for reading headlines on the news. The parts that Liam Price read were very difficult to keep track of who was speaking and it became confusing.
I am still glad I read it, but it was difficult.

Binge worthy!
Nothing I didn't enjoy about this series. I love Kat's character development and her new friendships. A few twists and turns leaving me eager for the next book!
I will be reading the next in the series instead of listening if the male narrator is the same though. He sounded like a newsreader and really ruined Sebastian for me.

enjoyable story
I enjoyed the story but it would have been more enjoyable if Bastian spoke slower and used the punctuation marks more appropriately in the text to read with fluency and phrasing. his parts were rushed, sentences strung together and took away from the development of the story by lacking excitement in his voice. A slightly softer spoken actor might suit book 3.

The unexpected turn of events
I’ve enjoyed this book as much as the first canon for the next instalment . Just when I think I know where the story is going I’m pleasantly surprised it takes another turn.

the male voice actor (news presenter) ruins it
the male voice has been read in a mono tone with inflections at the end of %80 of sentences and is very hard to listen to. it's crazy how much this almost makes it impossible to listen to.

Great storyline
Really liked the storyline but the male narrator made it very difficult to listen to, his breathy stunted reading spoiled the enjoyment. The female narrator was very good

Good read
I love Kat's character and how she's grown. the narrater for her is perfect. Sebastian's narrator definitely sounded like AI. It was terrible.
Still worth the read though, it just takes some getting used to.

Bad Male Narrator
Terrible male narration. I found it so hard to get into the book when he starts up. He puts pauses in the wrong spots, and doesn't get involved in his character. I couldn't listen to the book. I loved Book 1 with just a female narrator doing all the voices.
