From the Amazon.com and Wall Street Journal #1 bestselling authors of the Zodiac Academy series Caroline Peckham & Susanne Valenti.

The dragons are lost.

The elements are at war. Enlisting isn’t optional.

And I’m falling for a man who wants me dead.

I’m a wielder of hearts and summoner of corruption. Heir to nothing and born to a fool in the wrong damn month.

But I’m also one of only two Fae in this divided land of hellions who might be starting to see through the lies we’ve swallowed for so long.

In the year we turn twenty-one, conscripts from across the warring nations of air, fire, earth and water are sent to Never Keep – the only place in our besieged continent where our magic can be Awakened.

But something is wrong inside Never Keep. Something which might extend far beyond the reaches of this desolate fortress. Within the gothic walls of this frigid castle in the snow, we’re left to hold our own against the brutal Fae from the opposing lands.

The Reapers are merciless. The Royals are lying. The Werewolves run rampant and Vampires roam the wastelands in bloodthirsty covens. But even though death lurks in every shadow of the Keep, it’s the least of my worries.

I’m delving into secrets the stars don’t want me uncovering, making alliances with Fae born to be my enemy, falling for a sinner while promising my heart to a different heathen and somewhere amid it all, I’m supposed to win a war.

I thought the only thing I had to do was survive my magical instruction.

Turns out, fate doesn’t favour the wicked.

***This is an enemies-to-lovers romantasy series set in the same world as Zodiac Academy, but it's a dark and villainous tale of its own. You haven't met tainted souls like these before or enemies that hate each other as deeply as these characters do. Book 1 in the series will leave your heart raw and bloody. You'll be left gasping for breath and aching for more of the twisted Fae and they might just be irredeemable... ***

I chose to stop listening and just read the book. There were too many differences between the text and the audio. Also, the words were so drawn out and a bit frustrating. The male interpretations seemed completely unbelievable and almost mocking.

The performance messed it up for me.

I wasn’t able to finish because the narration was so over dramatic and annoying, It was difficult to get into the story. Going to try to read on KU when I have time because reviews on the book itself are really good

Painful narration

This world and story is great. the sisters do a great job as usual, though the beginning of the book is a bit scattered and slow. it gets better so stick with it....as long as you can tolerate the narrator. She was okay in the zodiac academy books. But for some reason, she almost made me DNF this book with the way she chose to voice characters in this one!

narrator almost ruined it

I really liked NeverKeep and I can’t wait to see where the series takes us. Narration was great as always with the Bordeaux’s.

Great Start To A New Series

.. Nor does the best narrators in my opinion. I love the talent, the fun plots and the crazy moments. I wonder if I will find someone to be as angry at as I was at Lionel in ZA. 👀 Loved this book!!

Twisted Sisters never disappoint
