Anhaga

By: Lisa Henry

Narrated by: Erik Bloomquist

Aramin Decourcey - Min to his few friends - might be the best thief in Amberwich, and he might have a secret that helps him survive the cutthroat world of aristocratic families and their powerful magic users, but he does have one weakness: his affection for his adopted nephew, Harry.

When the formidable Sabadine family curses Harry, Min must accept a suicide mission to save his life: retrieve Kazimir Stone, a low-level Sabadine hedgewitch who refuses to come home after completing his apprenticeship...and who is in Anhaga, a seaside village under the control of the terrifying Hidden Lord of the fae. If that wasn't enough, Kaz is far from the simple hedgewitch he seems.

With the Sabadines on one side and the fae on the other, Min doesn't have time to deal with a crisis of conscience - or the growing attraction between him and Kaz. He needs to get Kaz back to Amberwich and get Harry's curse lifted before it kills him. Saving Harry means handing Kaz over to his ruthless family. Saving Kaz means letting Harry die. Min might pride himself on his cleverness, but he can't see his way out of this one.

The Hidden Lord might see that he never gets the choice.

Contains mature themes.

So unique

This book is so unique and awesome. I loved every second of this. I wish it was spicier but that’s me just being nitpicky. I do wish the narrator was a bit less robotic but it’s was still definitely worth the listen.

A must read

One of my favorite books I listened too in 2024. When the story was over it left me trying to find something similar. I’m so happy with everything and overwhelmed 10/10 from me.

sweet surprize

only purchased this title because it's a MM romance in the amazingly addictive voice of Erik Bloomquist.
got a wonderfully creative and unexpectedly sweet retelling of the Cinderella story. sorry if this spoils it for anyone - I won't go into details of what was creative and what specific part of the story makes it cinderlla-like.
the story line is clean and believable; the characters deep and very modern-thinking; the rhythm fast enough to make the story hard to pause.
this is a writer I would definitely purchase more from - her "Adventures in Aguillon" series is already on my wish list ;-)

so good! what a fantasy world

OK I've listened to some good books lately but this one goes into the great category for me. the world building so good! and omg I was yelling at the audiobook. I was so invested in the characters and adored Kaz and min but woah the drama and omg the love and hate. it's good.
the voice actor is on point! his voice is perfection.

Beautiful

The world building was absolutely beautiful. Our MC was unlikeable in the most likeable of ways. The characters as a whole done brilliantly. I listened on a whim and am so happy I did.
