About this listen
ELSPETH NEEDS A MONSTER. THE MONSTER MIGHT BE HER.
An ancient, mercurial spirit is trapped inside Elspeth Spindle's head - she calls him the Nightmare. He protects her. He keeps her secrets. But nothing comes for free, especially magic.
When Elspeth meets a mysterious highwayman on the forest road, she is thrust into a world of shadow and deception. Together, they embark on a dangerous quest to cure the town of Blunder from the dark magic infecting it. As the stakes heighten and their undeniable attraction intensifies, Elspeth is forced to face her darkest secret yet: the Nightmare is slowly, darkly, taking over her mind. And she might not be able to stop him.
For fans of Uprooted and For the Wolf comes a gothic fantasy romance about a maiden who must unleash the monster within to save her kingdom.

The writer does a good job with world building, not too heavy on detail and fun to read. For the characters in the world, the concept of providence cards imbued with magic combined with innate sorcery as means of influencing the world around them is a good take on the genre. Feels fresh and interesting.
I do hate that everything literary has to be a series in the 2020s, but I daresay I’m excited to find out what’s next for Elspeth and Blunder!
Not a Nightmare to read!
