Thank you to Twig Publishing and Netgalley for providing me with audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

Guilty as charged, i couldn't resist trying out and relive for the second time this adventure as i fell in love with it head over toes!
Strange how the same story feels different when you read it and when you are experiencing it via audiobook....at least for me it's like i experience a different book and is so thrilling.
I was so excited to find out there were two different narrators for Cadence and Slate, ulike the most narrated by a single narrator for all POV's.
Loved the male narrator and all the accents ,he gave a little more sophisticated tint to Slate that was intriguing.
As to the female narrator...i loved her voice and the ease with which she delivered Cadence's side of the story,but from time to time it felt she exaggerated and gave it a slight petulant tint that rubbed me the wrong way.
Thank you for the opportunity to relive again this amazing story!
I am pasting my ebook review below too:

Full five stars and then some!!!
If anyone was watching me while reading this book, im sure would've taking me for a nutjobπŸ˜„πŸ˜„πŸ˜„
So many times i laughed out loud on the splendid humor that was absolutely my type plus the absurd,comical, but at the same time dangerous situations that Slate put himself, made me completely forgot my surroundings.
I loved the world building ,wich was told in the perfect way - not like the most that you feel like ticking marks of a list that has to be done, but instead,Β  got sucked right in and you realize how rich it is and how much you learned about it when you caught yourself like living in it and swinging your emotions every step of the way!
Every character had depth and history that couldn't leave you impartial.
I have to admit i was having extra fun with Slate's character, given that his humor,the swearing and his cynicism was so like me that cracked me up every single timeπŸ˜„
For a strange reason i got the Lucifer Tv show vibe and could purely see in my head Slate saying with his charm "But detective" πŸ˜„πŸ˜„πŸ˜„
And can relate the other characters too
Cadence as Chloe
Adrien as detective Duche
Bastian as Amenadiel
and Alma as sweet EllaπŸ˜„πŸ˜„πŸ˜„
The Quaterfoil crew was absolutely spot on and the combination of all the characters gave an amazing and so colorful adventure that make you laugh and cry in a matter of few pages.
So happy i got the opportunity to read this and it takes a top plase in my favorites!
After the final i have a lot of questions, that i cant wait to tackle and see what mess they got themselves into in the next book!

Dive into the world of magic.

Meet slate and Candace n the crew as they uncover magic in a small foggy town called Broome.

I've read and reread n listened to this book it still has my emotions on high alert right to the very end no matter how many times I join in the journey. Book 1 of this series I give it 5 stars if I could give it more I would.

There's nothing wrong with this book, I just couldn't get into it.

The story starts with Slate, a young thief, receiving a letter letting him know that he's part of a traditional family from a French village obsessed with witchcraft. He visits the place he was born and ends up stealing a ring from a corpse at the cemetery, and it gets stuck on his finger. The ring has a bloodstone that holds black magic, and Slate needs Cadence, another main character, to help him retrieve the elements that will unlink him from the stone.

I didn't get attached to the characters but I can't pinpoint why exactly. The writing was good, but the adventure aspect of it didn't succeed in grabbing my attention. The narrators have extremely pleasing voices and I was able to listen to both on the same speed.

I got "Of wicked blood" from netgalley for an honest review.

The book is interesting, and started good. But the story got boring for me. The romance between two characters went too easy, I like it more difficult like more enemies to lover.

In general the story is okay entertaining, and some will love this story but it wasn't for me. I just found it a bit too weak, and couldn't keep my interest
