Wight's Wrath

The Khimmer Chronicles, Book One

By: Kevin A Davis

Narrated by: Christine Mascott

Months ago, Ahnjii fell through a gate to Earth where cryptids live hidden among humans like herself. Much to her delight, her unusual truthsense ability allows her to see their real, undisguised forms behind their sigil-enhanced glamor. Always accompanied by Khimmer, the mind of her adaptive Nightarmor, Ahnjii learns to hide her abilities and secrets while daring to delve into the tempting excitement of Earth.

Trouble arrives when Shailagh, a red-haired high Fae, convinces Ahnjii to search Tallahassee for a volatile, bizarre Wight. One of the millennia old high Fae who have ascended and transformed beyond recognition. Unfortunately, this disquieting Wight breaks all the ancient agreements as it enthralls humans, animals, and cryptids alike.

Ahnjii’s closest friend, Tyler, could end up the Wight’s next thrall. That could be the Wight’s last mistake.

The Khimmer Chronicles is a contemporary, urban fantasy set on a mysterious Earth where Fae, Nedjir, shifters, and other cryptids hide in plain sight. The first audiobook of the series is a dangerous hunt that forces Ahnjii to use her Nightarmor on Earth.

Great Story

Interesting characters and story. This urban fantasy is a unique combination of human lore and multi dimensional fantasy.

Dislike pronoun shifting!

Most of all, I really disliked the pronoun shifting. Instead of he-she, the author used they-theirs. I found it very distracting. I don’t like having to rewind to find out who was being talked about.

pronouns

they/ them in a story should be more than one person. The overuse of they/ them distracted from the story. The author could have switched it up with: the person, my friend, it, or use a name.

Very pleasant and exciting listening

Great story. I really enjoyed it. The reader was amazing and has a great voice. I would definitely read and listen more ro this author.

Cliff Notes Style

This series had a decent storyline but it was like listening to the cliff notes version of a full novel. The characters were very flat and 2 dimensional. The dialogue was often single word responses. The MC was easier to deal with if thought of as someone with special needs.
Main character has been on earth for 10 months but still knows nothing. Even being from a different planet, she shouldn't be this stupid. Tyler's character was simply the gender neutral need. The sister was a snotty rich girl and her boyfriend a meathead douche. The fay were all obnoxious but without any depth. The best character was probably Friday simply because they went into more detail on describing her because of her tattoos, but even then most of her dialogs were simply "Friday swore".
The story itself would be great if written by someone with better ability to flush out a story. I felt zero connection with any character simply because there was no personality to any of them.
