About this listen

She didn’t want to fall for him. She had no choice.

When magic dwindled from the world, the four kingdoms formed the Society of Crows, skilled wizards and sorcerers bound by the gods to uphold the balance. But as time passed, they became corrupted, demanding that magical humans marry only for procreation, for the preservation of magic.

Nava Forrest stumbled upon her soulmate when she was young. A brief meeting with a hooded stranger forever bound her to a man she wanted nothing to do with. Her parents were also soulmates marrying despite her father not being a magic-wielder, their forbidden love forcing their family into hiding.

Now that they are gone, her life raising her younger brother and selling potions to wary townsfolk has been quiet...and magic-free. When the Society of Crows finds Nava, intent on enslaving her, it forces her to flee to the forest, searching for the one person she was told can protect her.

Arkimedes is certainly not what she expected, and her attraction to him is new and unnerving. As the chemistry between them grows, so does her power. With the Society closing in, it forces the two to create unexpected alliances, and work in their disagreements. One rejecting magic and the other a powerful, enigmatic fae, who has secrets of his own and is determined to change her mind. Nava must decide if she is to follow her destiny, listen to her heart...or maybe they are the same.

The Curse of the Crow is an enthralling full-length fantasy romance, that will transport you to a new world where fairies and sorcerers exist, and soulmates find each other against all odds. Adventure packed, featuring a deliciously angsty romance, steamy, and filled with desire.

If you love stories with fae, sorcerers, strong female MC that has a bubbly personality, that hides deeper insecurities, and a brooding male hero that complements her. This is a store for you!

Good ideas but disappointing execution

The story/characters have a lot of potential but this book is poorly written at best. Please, I'm begging the author to "show don't tell". There is so much unnecessary overexplanation of insignificant or benign things, word count that would go much further with developing the world and characters. I like that the main characters are slightly older than your typical paranormal romance novel but the poor writing makes them all seem incredibly naive and asinine. The main character could have been a 15 year old school girl not a 25 year old adult with the way she thinks/behaves. Pointless overexplanation came at the cost of developing what should have been important plot points - there are multiple 'reveals' and 'surprises' that fell completely flat because there was no build up. The plot points that were built up (the whole soulmates thing) was so handfisted that it made absolutely no impact as it developed. The writing style is incredibly basic and repetitive, it was a challenge to listen to and the narration didn't make up for the poor writing unfortunately, making for a boring experience. This writer clearly has a lot of potential with their ideas and world building but this book failed to flesh them out enough for me to care to keep reading/listening to the series and I genially have low standards for audio books that I listen to while I work. This could have been an amazing story with more editing and revisions. I hope the author keeps working at their writing style, world building and foreshadowing because they have the potential to put out really great stories.
