The Night Realm

Written by Annette Marie

Narrated by Greg Tremblay and Melissa Moran

Clio has the rare ability to mimic magic. Sent on a mission to steal spells from the most dangerous family in the Underworld, she ends up stealing something else: their spell weaver.

As a nymph living in exile among humans, Clio has picked up all sorts of unique survival skills. But pilfering magic from the Underworld's deadliest spell weavers? Not so much.

Unfortunately, that's exactly what she has to do to earn a ticket back home.

Conning her way into the Underworld may have gone pretty well, but now she's got a new problem. His name is Lyre and he's a sinfully alluring incubus, a skilled spell weaver, and the only thing standing between her and stealing some damn magic.

Maneuvering around him without blowing her cover shouldn't be that difficult, but chaos has been dogging her every step. Monsters hide behind beautiful faces and Lyre keeps saving her neck even though they're enemies. Kind of enemies? Either way, her mission is getting complicated fast, and in the Underworld, even one mistake could prove fatal.

Reviews for The Night Realm

[Millsy · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Its very different from typical demons and magic user YA stories in that it's not simply magic users attacking demons. It has many really likeable, interesting characters and narrator really brings each person to life.

It's a funny one to review a it does have plenty of action, with a little romance, nothing explicit which i mostly prefer but though i enjoyed every minute of the audiobook, it still felt slow. Maybe because the story is filled with so much info to take on board, it's perhaps a little tiring on your mind. It could also have been because I have just listened to this full 11.5 hours all in one go. Either way, I do really recommend this book if you're looking for a slow burn action and a little romance.

Good story, both narrators are great. Clio, the main character will have you rolling your eyes at her antics. The people around her call her innocent which is a nice way of saying kinda dumb but sweet. Lyre is great.

The Night RealmSpell Weaver Series, Book 1By: Annette MarieNarrated by: Melissa Moran, Greg TremblayThis is sooooo good! An imp that looks like a beautiful woman is asked to do a job for a Prince. She agrees before she finds out she has to go to the underworld to fulfill the requirements! She can mimic spells but she is supposed to be human. Things go sideways when her contact is an incubus she met topside. It's funny, full of great characters, romance, some suspense, and a very enjoyable read!The two narrated are fabulous!Oh, the incubus may be sexy but it is not x-rated!

This is the first book in the Spell Weaver trilogy. I didn’t realize that this book is set in the same world as the “Steel and Stone” series but quite a bit earlier in time. The book started a bit slow but I really ended up enjoying it as it continued. Previous to this I have read Marie’s “Steel and Stone” series and “Red Winter” series and really loved them both.This book follows Clio (can’t remember if she is mentioned in Steel and Stone because I read that a long time ago). She is a Overworld princess who’s been exiled to Earth for her safety. She’s given a chance to venture to the Underworld and steal some knowledge in order to return home. What she doesn’t take into account is Lyre, a skilled spell weaver who is assigned to work with her in the Underworld.I loved getting to spend time in the Underworld and learn more about Lyre and Ash’s past. Clio is a well done character and I enjoyed her as well. The scenes between Lyre and Clio are very well done and they have great chemistry together.Overall this is another great start to a urban fantasy series by Annette Marie. I love this world and enjoyed the characters a lot. Marie does an awesome job of balancing world-building, action, and romance. I will definitely be continuing this series; so far Marie hasn’t disappointed me yet!
