About this audiobook
Editor's Note
Twisty adventure…
This twisty fantasy adventure is more than it seems. When high school senior Trina is gifted special powers from a mysterious magical necklace, she embarks on a quest to save her friends from an amorphous monster. A moving tale that marries the fantastical with an all-too-real evil.

What our readers think
Readers find this title to be a disappointment due to its political agenda and incoherent storytelling. The author's attempt to convey a message comes across as forced and unsupported. However, some readers appreciate the poignant ending and the narrator's performance. Overall, the book fails to live up to its potential and is not recommended.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5The ending and words of the author were poignant. The rest was not so good.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This could have been a really good story but it seems the author did a little too many drugs and wrote a jumble of incomprehensible fantasy garbage that nobody can successfully understand.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5NOT RECOMMENDED AWFUL STORY NO HOOK VERY BAD the only thing good was the narrator and a bit of the first 15min otherwise BAD!!!!! P.S: it had potential very sad of the waste ?
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It’s hard to describe this book but I’m glad I stayed with it for the surprise ending.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Not a good ending, keep your politics out of fantasy!!!
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Had I known the book was an anti- American political statemen, written by a non citizen who can't possibly understand the culture of America, I'd never have chosen to listen to it.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Narrator was good. That's about the only positive here. Writing was meteocre at best. Worst part was the fact that the whole thing turned out to be a political statement in the end with false "facts" to support authors narrative. I read/listen to fantasy novels to get away from the "real world" not to have someone else's ideals crammed down my throat.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5The story was disjointed and made little sense, understandably so once the author took us on a tangental rant. I'm sorry for their terrible experience, but prefer facts versus an unsupported opinion intended to make you believe it is factual. The book had potential, and I'm disappointed that they choose to go the route they did.
