About this listen

The next thrilling instalment in the Underworld Gods series. Perfect for listeners who want high steam Hades/Persephone and Beauty and the Beast vibes with a dark Nordic folklore twist.

All Hanna Heikkinen wants is to be reunited with her father again. After all, that's why she ventured into the dark and dangerous fantasy world of Tuonela, the Land of the Dead, in order to save his life. But this time her devotion to her father comes at a cost—her growing relationship with Tuoni, the God of Death himself, who held Hanna captive in exchange for her father's life. The last thing she expects is to feel remorse, yet the dark and sexy God is all she can think about.

Death has always prided himself on never trusting the living, but Hanna's apparent betrayal has left a scar fathoms deep. Vowing revenge on his future bride, and making sure she upholds her end of the bargain, Death sets out across his realm to steal Hanna back. But Death and Hanna aren't just fighting each other—malevolent Old Gods are rising to power within the realm, magic is being poisoned, and buried secrets are brought to light, secrets that may cause Hanna to lose everyone she loves dear once again.

Contains mature themes.

Great story, pity about the narrator

This is book two, and they brought in a male narrator for Death… and he is awful!!!
He doesn’t read the punctuation. He emphasises random words. And he sounds like he’s trying to be sexy but he sounds ridiculous.
Jo is a great narrator and gets the writing style.
Just leave her to do all the parts!

Story was good.

Urgh on the male narrator

Almost automated sound with Gabriel's narration, had to increase it to 1.10 speed just to make it tolerable, then back to reg speed on Joe's parts. Truely, I request that the author just employ Joe to do book 3 and on, she does an awesome job for both male and female roles.

Had to switch to Kindle..

The male’s voice is so unbearable I had to return the audio after 2 chapters. He sounds like an old man doing a terrible Dracula/Count from Sesame Street impression. I really enjoyed book 1 and couldn’t wait for this book, but immediately swapped to the written version in order to salvage the experience..
