About this listen
The fae of the Night Court are desperately searching for a new monarch to crown before the Court collapses.
I couldn’t care less.
I’ve done everything I can to bury my fae blood and embrace my human half. That changes when some fae nobles show up on my doorstep and announce that I’m the next Queen of the Night Court.
Becoming an unwilling fae queen? Check. Inheriting a terrible mess? Double check.
The Court is almost bankrupt, my citizens’ favorite hobby is backstabbing one another, and I don’t know who I can trust since someone keeps trying to assassinate me.
Speaking of assassins, I get introduced to the best in the business—a fae lord nicknamed the Wraith. His deadly profession means he fears no one. The only reason he doesn’t kill me on the spot is he’s also a member of the Night Court, and the Court’s magic protects me. But that doesn’t prevent him from trading verbal barbs with me whenever we meet.
And if cat herding all these uncooperative fae and chatting with assassins wasn’t enough, I’m required to get married as part of some archaic Court law. This “queen” gig is the worst!
Supposedly I can choose anyone to marry, but with all the infighting I need someone who is neutral and won’t provoke more political power struggles.
So, why do I keep thinking of a certain assassin?
Court of Midnight and Deception is a complete trilogy that takes place in the Magiford Supernatural City universe. It features fae, werewolves, vampires, and wizards! This trilogy is packed with humor, adventure, and a sweet, slow-burn romance between a reluctant fae queen and the assassin who tried to kill her.

Well worth a listen
Though it does have its exciting moments in the whole it's a pretty slow paced story. However, though it's not filled with constant excitement, it did hold my interest enough to listen to the entire audiobook in one sitting. The characters are all really likeable, the main female character is funny and outgoing and intelligent which is all too rare in this genre of stories. Even the 'badies' were really quite interesting and not abusive arseholes which are sadly the male counterpart in YA Fantasy books. I really quite enjoyed this story and will go and buy book 2 right now.
The narrator does a pretty good job, i only mark down 1 star as i wasn't always sure who the male character was based on the voice she was using but otherwise did a great job.

Leilas determination
I like the characters. I love this author and each of her books digs into the character and their motivations. The story moves along at a good pace. They keep my focus, I finish her books within hours. I devour Kitty's books. Every one gets better. Leila is the main character in this book. I love her determination to change people's minds and help them to find a better way. I like how she helps rehabilitate people who want it. She isn't naive about people but she looks for the good. She is kind and funny. Leila is the kind of person I'd like to be. She is under a great deal of stain but looks for trustworthy people around her to support her. I would like to have her perseverence. She might be afraid sometimes but she trusts in the good of her animals and friends to help her through. She has a knack for finding the right people to help her. That is a valuable quality.

The cheeky lead made me laugh out loud
Easy to listen to, great character narration, and a well formed funny female lead. I enjoyed this audiobook.

Great experience.
The story was great, the characters are enjoyable and relatable. My wife and teenagers loved it as well. We're straight onto the next one and looking forward to the continuing story.
