A skeptic and a supernatural being make a crossroads deal to achieve their own ends only to get more than they bargained for in this "irresistible elixir of romance and suspense" (Kirkus Reviews) from the New York Times bestselling author of Spell Bound and So This Is Ever After.
Seventeen-year-old Ellery is a non-believer in a region where people swear the supernatural is real. Sure, they've been stuck in a five-year winter, but there's got to be a scientific explanation. If goddesses were real, they wouldn't abandon their charges like this, leaving farmers like Ellery's family to scrape by.
Knox is a familiar from the Other World, a magical assistant sent to help humans who have made crossroads bargains. But it's been years since he heard from his queen, and Knox is getting nervous about what he might find once he returns home. When the crossroads demons come to collect Knox, he panics and runs. A chance encounter down an alley finds Ellery coming to Knox's rescue, successfully fending off his would-be abductors.
Ellery can't quite believe what they've seen. And they definitely don't believe the nonsense this unnervingly attractive guy spews about his paranormal origins. But Knox needs to make a deal with a human who can tether him to this realm, and Ellery needs to figure out how to stop this winter to help their family. Once their bargain is struck, there's no backing out, and the growing connection between the two might just change everything.

This enchanting audiobook about a spirit on the run and the skeptical human that rescues him features a stellar ensemble cast. Em Grosland portrays Ellery, whose belief in the supernatural waned after a brutal five-years-and-counting winter struck their family farm. Knox, portrayed by Kevin R. Free, is a magical assistant who hasn't heard from his queen in the same amount of time. Knox needs a human to tether him to this realm, and Ellery needs help stopping the never-ending winter. Grosland and Free create a budding romantic listen full of intrigue, though they don't always agree on how secondary characters are voiced. Natalie Naudus narrates a brief segment at the beginning from the perspective of Arabelle as she researches the secret to immortality. A.K.R. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine
