THE CURSED League of the Black Swans, Book 1

The opening of the League of the Black Swan series is wonderfully imaginative and absorbing, and Xe Sands's performance brings every aspect of the story to life. When bike messenger Rio Jones witnesses a kidnapping on the streets of Bordertown, she runs to the only man with the power to help: Luke Oliver, private investigator, dark wizard, and the most dangerously desirable man she's ever known. Rio's enormous heart and Luke's inner turmoil make them both fascinating leads, and Xe Sands captures the electric tension between them with aplomb. Her sultry, sardonic narration brings the streets of Bordertown, and its bizarre, mythical inhabitants, to vivid life and will hold listeners spellbound throughout this twisting, steamy story.
