Taming Shadows (Revelations Trilogy) (Volume 1) di Fiona Skye
This story was compelling enough that I finished it, but there were too many little things that annoyed me, particularly once she meets the Sidhe.
My original Silver Shackles audiobook review and many others can be found at Audiobook Reviewer.
In book one, Riley O’Rourke a reporter and Were-Jaguar stole a valuable mirror from the Winter Queens Court. Having thought herself safe and protected by the Summer Queen, Riley finds herself embroiled in intrigue, murder and an impending preternatural fairy war.
Tracking down a story concerning the shooting death by police of a young werewolf, Riley treks off without any support or back up. Her boyfriend and head of the preternatural bureau, David, has his hands full with solving and preventing any more children from being murdered land the humans blaming the preternatural community.
David discovers that Riley is not only missing but being held prisoner. He also discovers there is a coup being planned; in order to rescue Riley David must help coup planners. Neither Riley nor David are likely to forget that everything has a price and a consequence in the fairy world.
Once again, Fiona Skye has done an excellent job of word crafting and weaving a tale that is both engaging and riveting. As listeners we are privy to seeing a different side of Riley and David as they grow and change roles in this book. There are a couple of new characters introduced which promise to be just as intriguing as the others.
The narrator, P. J. Morgan once again was excellent in her narration. Her narration was consistent with the first book. I loved her rhythm for reading and expressive voice. When I hear P. J. Morgan narrate I hear Riley – she has a knack for taking on the character and wearing her proudly.
There were no issues with production. I appreciate the clearness of the audio book.

My original Taming Shadows audiobook review and many others can be found at Audiobook Reviewer.
Some secrets are best left in the dark; but sometimes they have a way of coming out with a vengeance. Riley O’Rourke, a crime beat reporter and Jaguar, was present when a bystander video-taped and released proof of supernatural creatures that roam the earth, mixing and mingling with humans. Exposing the preternatural world placed Riley into the lime light making her a spokesperson and specialist of the preternatural. However, not everyone was exposed and those creatures that remain hidden from the human world have an agenda – their agenda involves Riley, her boyfriend and Onyx (her vampire friend/ruler of the preternatural world of Arizona).
The fairy world, both the winter and summer courts, are feuding and draw Riley deep into the depths of their war. She must steal a valuable artifact from the winter court. Bargaining with a fairy is a complicated and dangerous maneuver but Riley does so to protect her and her family/friends. The question is not can she do it but will the fairy world leave her alone afterwards? That’s a chance Riley takes with the support of her friends.
Fiona Skye, author, has a well-developed story that brings into it many different aspects of the current myths and legends of vampires, fairies, werewolves, shape shifters and more. The characters grow at a solid pace. The use of myths/legends is well done also. Although it brings in the entire preternatural world, it quickly narrows it down to one section and focuses not on the human element but rather on the preternatural.
The narrator, P.J. Morgan provides an excellent performance. At first I was a bit thrown off because I did not expect Riley to have a Brooklyn like accent but it is explained in the story very well and subtly. Morgan plays all the parts well executing difficult accents and twangs. Very entertaining and a great fit for the book. The emotions were projected very well, drawing the audience in captivating them.
Not only is Skye a very talented words crafter and masterful story-teller, but Morgan is equally talented at narration. This is one book that should not be missed; it is by far an excellent book.
There were no issues with production. Everything was clear and well done.

I have a wish list with books I want to give family when they ask what i want. This book was at the top of my wish list when I won it. The book started out slow for me then picked up speed. Personally i would have liked more action, but on the whole it was a god read.
