About this listen
As an agent of Supernatural Protection & Investigations (SPI), I know that evil doesn’t take a vacation, but this time it made an exception and followed me on mine. I’m Makenna Fraser, seer for SPI, and I’m taking my boyfriend, goblin dark mage Rake Danescu, home for the holidays to meet my family.
Weird Sisters is a small town in the North Carolina mountains that was built on a network of ley lines that magnify psychic and paranormal energies. It doesn’t show up on Google Maps, was named after the three witches in Macbeth, and the first word of the town name perfectly describes most of its human and supernatural citizens. A stranger has come to town, bringing with him a dormant source of primordial evil. Soon, magically gifted locals start vanishing, and the power of the ley lines is turned against us, cutting us off from the outside world and any source of help.
For a town and its people steeped in magic, and my family sworn to protect both, it’s a race against time to use a local winter solstice phenomenon to free the town from its prison. But first, I must trust a father I’ve never known to fight and defeat an awakening evil that’s existed since the beginning of time. If we fail, and it is unleashed, the world will not survive.

Needs a professional reader
The story advances the relationship between Makenna and Rake, and also reveals major details of Makenna's heritage. It's well written and I thoroughly enjoyed the story.
Big BUT though, Lisa Shearin reads the book and unfortunately she is obviously not a voice actor as the delivery is a little flat. My biggest gripe is with the pronunciation of the main mythological figure introduced. Without wishing to spoil the story, I'll simply say the character's name begins with a "C" and a quick check online would have demonstrated it should be pronounced as a hard "K" not a soft "S".
It's a real shame because it's truly disappointing to have such a mistake when it could have been rectified with a little research.

Great story let down by reader
Sadly, most authors aren't that great at reading their work. This is a great book, thoroughly enjoyed it, The reading isn't bad, for the most part, but to not check how to pronounce one of the main character's name is shameful. It's Kir-nu-nus, not Sir-noo-noos. Really throws me out of the story when she says it. I can sort deal with Jan-oos, not Jay-nus, but the other one kills me.
