4.0
Title: Girl, Serpent, Thorn
Author: Melissa Bashardoust
Narrator: Nikki Massoud
Rating: 3.75
Soraya has loved hidden all her life because of a powerful secret. Soraya has poison in her veins and can kill any living thing with her touch. As her twin brothers wedding approaches, she meets a man who has her wanting to come out of the shadows. She sacrifices her safety and the trust of others to become a normal human again. But as she does this demons terrorize her coty and imprison her loved ones. Can she defeat this evil or will she give into its demands?
I received this audiobook via NetGalley. The narrator had a nice voice but I don’t think it’s suited Soraya the main character. This audiobook is only done by the narrator and there are no other narrators for other characters so you only get to hear her voice. The story flows really well. The amount of secrecy and betrayal in the story gave me anxiety. I really enjoyed how Soraya came into herself. She started to see the world in a different light from what she originally did. And she started to realize that the power she had was more of a blessing than a curse, as she had originally thought and I thought that was very well written.
The love story took me by surprise. But it was in chanting. I love the essence of magic in a way that I hadn’t seen before this isn’t fae and spells. There is a deeper cultural magic that the author explains about at the end of the book with an authors note.
if you like books about heroines, love , magic, forgiveness, and trust and the power that those elements provide this is definitely the book for you.
