Publisher's summary

Fulfill three quests, return the missing shards of an evil sword, or people die. Nothing a wounded Russian sorcerer and an artist with a talent for roping can’t handle.

Rodion Czernovitch is in Nocturne Falls recovering from a serious injury and working hard not to fall for his sister’s best friend. When evil comes knocking on his door and she accidentally gets in the way, it’s time to quit brooding and start preparing for battle.

Carina Valdis just wanted a cup of coffee. But when she ran into her bestie’s brother - her big crush - and subsequently into an evil wizard’s curse, it’s going to take all her skill and patience to teach the overbearing warrior that love and wit (and a couple of rope tricks) can conquer all. Even the threat of death.

Featured Article: No Full Moon Needed—Here Are the 20 Best Werewolf Audiobooks to Listen to Right Now


Tired of listening to stories about humans? Consider the werewolf! Taking various forms over the course of centuries and mythologies, often as flesh-devourers, werewolves now commonly appear in fantasy and romance novels as shape-shifters. The shape-shifting element in werewolves' stories has almost humanized them, depicting the internal struggles we all face within ourselves, on some level or another.

Nice addition to the Nocturne Falls Universe series

Sela Carsen has written a nice addition to the Nocturne Falls Universe series. I enjoyed the characters very much. The ending was quite endearing. I recommend this book/audiobook to Nocturne Falls and Nocturne Falls Universe fans.

seems thrown together

Very little character development. Instantly in love and in a battle. Definitely not a great addition to the Nocturne Universe.

Felt lacking and thrown together.

While most NFU stories drawn from both the original NF stories and prior NFU stories, this one looked to incorporate too much from both while providing little new content. The author even said she was hard pressed to finish the story and you can tell, it should have been left to gather dust than get published.

The only thing that I cared for was the female lead's bag.

Didn't enjoy the way the story was written

I always love the Nocturne Falls series but the guest writer for this book had me very confused with the storyline. It seems like the first half of the book flowed along nicely but then the second 1/2 got choppy. The author seemed to go from the present to the past without you realizing what was going on. There were many chapters I had to re listen to just to totally understand what was going on with the story. Also, to me the characters more as likable as previous Nocturne Falls characters.

Hey, KRISTEN!

This book was delightful! BUT WHAT IS UP with the major price hike in books? Two hr books were $4.86, now 3 hr books are over $10? Your coffers aren't full enough from your poorest followers? What a disappointing cheap shot from someone so wealthy they cold solve the national debt, while your listeners struggle to meet rent. SHAME on you!

I loved Carina and Rodion's banter! So fun!

I did love the characters and that they brought so many of the other characters from Nocturne falls into the story. Some of it was a little random the way that they were brought in though. The best part is the back and forth with Carina and Rodion. There were definitely a few points where I had to laugh out loud when I was listening at work.
it may be just me but the Russian stories are a little hard to follow with the names and all of the super natural creatures and stories though I don't mind learning about them but they're in quite a few of the universe stories.it was a little hard to keep everything straight.
I wish the author hadn't left a message at the end saying how much she struggled with the book I don't think I would have noticed it without her bringing it up. Overall I like the story but in some parts had a little bit of a hard time following. The main characters are worth a listen! Carina is awesome!
