Cloak & Silence

The League; Book 6 of First Generation

By: Sherrilyn Kenyon

Narrated by: Holter Graham

Length: 6 hrs and 36 mins

Publisher's summary

One of the fiercest soldiers the Phrixians have ever produced, Maris Sulle has been an outsider his whole life. He grew up with a secret that cost him everything - his birthright, his family, his military career. He's only ever had one love, and Maris has sacrificed that to see his best friend reunited with the woman he loves. His good deed done, he now feels lost and adrift. Even though his new family does its best to include him, he's once again on the outside looking in.

Ture has spent his life hiding from everyone around him while trying desperately to fit in. Badly hurt by everyone he's ever known, he trusts no one except his best friend - and honestly, he can't understand why he trusts her. Nor can he believe her when she describes a loyalty between friends the likes of which he’s never seen.

But in his darkest hour, Ture is saved by a hero he thought only existed in novels, a man every bit as scarred and mistrusting as he is and who has no interest in being dragged into another relationship with anyone.

Having spent his life as a living study of doomed relationships, Maris is well aware of the fiasco that must inevitably follow courtship. Still, there is something about Ture he can't resist - something that won't let him walk away even when he knows he should.

And when old enemies return to threaten them both, these two must either stand together or die alone.

Loved the story of Merry and Tory. Also glad to finally get the back story on Merry.

love the league!

the series is awesome! I do not like graham narrating. graham is too whiny in his narrating!

Sherrilyn and Holter are back!

Where does Cloak & Silence rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It's in the top ten. I love Maris, always have, but I think Sherrilyn was pushed to hurry up and get this one out before Hauk's book. That being said, I love love love the league books. Maris is the best ever, Safir rocked it and I can't wait to see more of him. Ture is just a doll and so sweet. Terek is going to be a handful, but I think Maris and Ture can handle him.

What other book might you compare Cloak & Silence to and why?

Any of the League books. I also think it's like the Marie Sexton books, although not as explicit.

What does Holter Graham bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Holter's always been my favorite narrator and he sounds great after his cancer treatment. Not everyone knows that he's been sick for a few months and he wasn't supposed to do any books, but he got this one out for listeners like me who adore him. You can tell he's pushing himself and in some spots it shows, but he's back and hopefully will be well enough to do Hauk's book.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Every hero had a past and a future if they're brave enough to take it.

Any additional comments?

I understand why some people aren't happy with this one, but as a writer myself, you have to trust what the author is doing and know that they know where the series is going. Sherrilyn has gotten a lot of backlash from her decisions on not putting Darling and Maris together, but I get it. It keeps the conflict part of the series going. I say, go with it. Trust her. She knows what she's doing. Look at all her #1's on the Best Seller lists.

And for everyone who's going to knock Holter's performance, remember, he's had cancer treatments recently. Check his blog, if you don't believe me. The guy's on the road to recovery and I feel lucky to have this one so soon after his treatments. Yeah, you can tell he's hurting, but he's a trooper and he pushed through it. It also lends support to the story line and helps add a depth to the characters that they've been hurt so much in the past that you can hear it when he's speaking for them.

Just listen to one chapter with your eyes closed in your favorite chair and see what you think.

Good Book

It was great to hear Maris's story of true love and the continuing saga of the League. I want more! If you have read the books in this series you will love it. SK did a great job with a difficult dilemma of writing a "gay" romance with tasteful grace and do not worry, LOL, it is not porn but written well using great emotion.

Thank goodness

I have been waiting for so long for a story on Maris. Knowing the depth of the Ichidian Universe and the species. Intricacies of the character and the great story telling of kenyon.

The only downfall was the audio quality. There was background buzzing and faint clicks. Sometimes distracted me from the story line.

Sherrilyn Kenyon's league series, Cloak & Silence

I love this story line, but did not like the narrator. His reading style was not my favorite. I will read anything by this author but will not listen to the narrator. He puts me to sleep.

Sweet Story

i wish it was longer and had some more meat to it but it was so sweet and it is one of my favs.

Love these

I am so hooked on this series. We Need book 4 and 13 to be added to the league collection.

The League book stands strong!

What did you love best about Cloak & Silence?

That two secondary charters, shine thru in great class. Sherrilynn Kenyon does a great job with this book!

What other book might you compare Cloak & Silence to and why?

This follows great behind The league 5 - Darling's story

Yay! I have been waiting for this story!!!

Sherrilyn Kenyon knocked this story out of the park! Definitely worth the wait! I am so glad that there was a lot of action in this book because I love seeing the guys break badass all over the League!
