Publisher's summary

She needs ancient magic to prevent more deaths. But messing with the gods could get them all killed.

Galway, Ireland. It's just another day in the life of poor Róisín, desperately trying to save lives. No pressure or anything. But the bombs didn't just leave people badly burned, but they also unleashed two horrific plagues.

In her quest for answers, Róisín stumbles upon a mind-boggling revelation. Five ancient sites, connected by magic, seem to be immune to the plagues. Our gifted healer forges a connection with an all-powerful ancient deity. Because messing with gods is always a fabulous idea.

Things quickly spiral out of control. The god's power nearly obliterates poor Róisín, leaving her hanging on by a thread. But she strikes a deal with the ancient healer. Saving everyone sounds great, but when she's attacked by extremists hell-bent on wiping out all the Unhidden, things kick into high gear.

Will Róisín's dangerous pact lead them all into darkness? Only time will tell. And sheer dumb luck.

Much Ado About Dying is the second installment in the rip-roaring Guardians of PHAE Irish contemporary fantasy trilogy. Get ready for strong heroines, deities with egos bigger than their magic, and an ensemble cast with superhero powers.

Too many mispronouncing

The story is good and I do like the teller. But the lack of understanding the Irish and Australian accent is aggravating. Pronouncing da (Irish accented dad) like duh (a gen x teenage valley girl), bairn (a child) as barn, and many others. It’s like salt in a cut listening to so many mispronunciations. Update. I just realized it’s an AI reading it. So imagine the Irish read by a completely ignorant American reading as if it’s written in English. I’m fairly familiar with Irish words and accent and constantly pausing to figure out what the reader said.
