Publisher's summary

My whole life has been characterized by fighting; fighting my family and fighting for my life.

Trust me—the first one is completely voluntary, and a lot of fun. The second? Not so much.

To say my family dynamic is weird is the understatement of the century. I held my first sword when I was only five years old, and I learned how to dispose of a body before I turned ten.

I may have a penchant for pink and sparkles…but that doesn’t mean I don’t know how to kick major ass as well.

As if my life isn't complicated enough, my body is being ravaged by a chronic, mystery illness. Seizures? Check. Passing out? Check. Agonizing pain? Check. A host of other unexplainable ailments? Double check.

After a change in my parents’ job takes us across the country, I find myself doing something I’ve never done before—attend an actual high school, despite my sickness. But this school? Well…it’s a little weird. I'm always turned around, and there's something happening I just can't put my finger on.

Don’t even get me started on my sexy as sin teacher and his equally as gorgeous twin brother. Or Tristan, who kind of reminds me of an energetic puppy. Or Kian, who has a harem of girls at his beck and call, despite seeming unhappy with his entire life. Or Foster and Gage, who are revered and feared in equal measure.

With a serial killer stalking the streets of this odd, little town, my new friends and family are on high alert. One thing becomes clear: humans aren’t the only beings who walk this earth.

And if I don’t uncover the secrets of my new school, I may be the killer’s next victim.

Courting Darkness is a reverse-harem paranormal romance, meaning the main character will end up with more than one love interest by the end of the series. This is book one in the series and it will end with a cliffhanger.

So glad this made it to audio!

I loved this book so much and immediately bought it when I saw it on audiobook and I was not disappointed. * it took me a second to get used to the female narrator's voice, listen to the sample before you buy :)

The characters are so well written

I love that Sera is so strong and funny. All of the characters have a purpose in the story. I’ve read the books and couldn’t wait to hear the characters bought to life. The actors helped me see the characters clearer. The books are fun. I can’t wait for the fourth book.

Great

Really great book. Narration was great. Liked most of the characters (except Tristan- though that can be resolved if I see enough growth ). Looking forward to the next one.

Surprising

Wasn’t sure if this would be something I’d fall in love with but honestly surprised me how much I enjoyed it. Don’t get me wrong my surprise is mostly the genre is different than my usual. Story was easy to listen to, fell into the joyful moments and the sad ones with ease. Can say I loved it. Already got the second one!

love this book

I really love this book, so I was excited to see the audiobook was up for preorder. Both narrators were great at first but as time went on it got kind of exhausting listening to the female narrator. I know Sera is sassy, but the narrator says EVERY word on a sigh and every sentence is spoken the exact same way. Just became grating. But overall I liked it and will be getting the second!!

👍👍👍👍👍

So far, I love this storyline. Quite different from other fantasy paranormal romance novels. It is easy listening! Author is doing a good job in developing the characters and setting up the plot. The narrators both do an excellent job in engaging the listener. Enjoying the suspense mysteries and twists.
