Plague of the Shattered

The Gateway Trackers, Book 2

De: E. E. Holmes

Narrado por: Lyssa Browne

Once every five years, the Northern Clans of the Durupinen gather at Fairhaven Hall. There, at the ancient castle, surrounded by the very spirits they are bound to protect and serve, the clans settle disputes and shape the laws that govern the Gateways to the spirit world. For the first time, Jess and Hannah Ballard have to represent their clan. It is an awesome responsibility - a great honor...and they are sure it's going to be the most boring week of their lives.

Oh, how very wrong they are.

For something dangerous is stalking the halls of Fairhaven. It lies in wait, striking down victim after victim, undetectable and inescapable. No one knows what it is, or what it wants, but one thing is clear: no one is safe until it is captured.

As their fellow Durupinen fall victim one by one, it will be up to Jess and Hannah, the newest members of the Trackers, to solve the mystery before the entirety of the castle is possessed.

The Twins are Back in England again

It's time again for the once every 5 years meeting, and the twins are forced to return to England again. From there things go awry as usual...also as usual fear of their powers isolates and semi-imprisons them. Isn't it always more to do with the fear of the unknown which causes people to take action in desperate ways, wars, imprisonment, hatred, and so on. Will the counsel learn their fear of the unknown causes all their major issues, and causes them to continue to mistrust the twins?

Mysterious

Heartwarning, interesting, mysterious and with a little romance all rolled into this wonderfully written and narratored book. Look forward to finding more from this author and narrator.

Great coming of age fantasy with strong female characters

This is the 5 th book in the series. I’m really enjoying it. I love the strong female characters who overcome serious obstacles to success but keep persevering. Milo, a male ghost, and Savvy, a good friend to Jess, lend humor.

Another amazing read!

I absolutely love E.E. Holmes Gateway series! It's clever, witty, hilarious, and one of the best ghost stories I've ever ready! I know there is a 4th book that came out, after Awakening of the Seer, but it's not on Audio yet. Please make an audio version! I love being able to get all my work done -home and actual work- while listening to books! It makes the time go by so much faster! And I LOVE LOVE LOVE these books! I hope they never end!

Loved so much I listened to it twice!

I feel the recaps of previous plot points from her earlier books is unnecessary, so for me that was a negative. Otherwise this is brilliant writing and storytelling. Holmes is especially adept at writing dialogue and Lyssa Browne’s voices for each character are spot on! Bravo!

Amazed

The book was wonderful. I did it want to turn it off! I have enjoyed every bird so far and they just keep on getting better this one was awesome

Another excellent read!

The story line of this book was great! Getting to know Jess, Hannah and Milo better was so enjoyable. Hoping these books never end!! Great write WE Holmes!

These books are like chips can't eat just one

These books are amazing. I have listened to 5 books in about 8 days. love this series and author.

Crazy things are happening....

Book 2 / 4.25 Stars

The series continues as Jess and Hannah are required to go back (again) to the seat of the Council because every five years, the Northern Clans of the Durupinen gather at Fairhaven Hall and the girls are required to attend to represent their clan.

While there, it is apparent that their actions of the past - not to mention their extremely strong and powerful abilities - have made them outcasts. The other members are either terrified of them, or have been made to distrust them based on the crazy politicking that has been going on for centuries.

Unfortunately, that takes a bit of a back seat as something crazy is happening in Fairhaven. A spirit seems to have penetrated the tightly warded compound and "shattered" which in turn means that there are tons of individual "pieces" of the shattered person who are entering and taking over certain Durupinen, leaving them almost comatose and crazed in sickbeds. The girls are the only ones who are making progress in trying to discover "what" has happened and "how" to save the ladies who have been taken over.

This story takes us back in forth in a timeline along with many different POV's. Hopefully, the girls involvement will help mitigate some of the massive dislike that is coming from the group of women representing the clans. But, no spoilers. It's time for book 3......
