About this listen
Set in an alternate day New York filled with monsters, The Wren in the Holly Library is a dark, spicy urban fantasy loosely inspired by Beauty and the Beast – perfect for fans of V. E. Schwab and Leigh Bardugo.
She stole from a monster . . . now she must pay the price
Street thief Kierse should have known something wasn’t right. Now she’s trapped in a library — with a monster. She can’t run. She can’t hide. And this man – this being, filled with terrible power and darkness — is well within his rights to kill her.
By trespassing, Kierse has broken the fragile peace treaty between monsters and humans. But instead of killing her, Graves does the unexpected: he offers her a job. A chance to find out who she really is.
Kierse has always known she’s different. That she can do things a little better, a little faster. And there’s that sense she has when danger is only a breath away. But if the old tales are true, there are worse things in the world than monsters.
Like a threat more ancient than legend. Like Graves. Or like Kierse herself . . .
From bestselling author K. A. Linde comes the start of an addictive dark romantasy series where monsters live among humandkind, and ancient secrets threaten to destroy everything . . .
The Wren in the Holly Library was a No. 1 Sunday Times bestseller w/e 13/07/2024

I wanted it to be so much more.
I don’t really like giving bad reviews and it was not awful but there was some serious flaws which just ruins this story. First by the end I just hated the main character, I wanted to her to get hurt or just die. She was inconsistent and annoying. Second, the romance just didn’t work, went from nothing to 100 without a build up and then seemed to be creepy where you don’t really want them to have anything to do with each other. I was so hoping this would have been better, I love the concept and the idea. But not executed well.

Badly written porn
So I was downloading books to listen to with an aging relative in hospital, she liked the idea of this from the synopsis, but the story didn't start well, and then became badly written porn. which some people might like but. playing quietly in a communal ward with speakers it was rather embarrassing and I was asked to turn it off. I know it talks about romantic and even steamy I think but this was very very graphic.
