To Kill a King (Hollowcliff Detectives, #2)

by C.S. Wilde

The Night King is dead, and his killer is on the loose.

When Mera Maurea goes to Lunor Insul to investigate the Night King’s murder, she knows bringing her partner Sebastian Dhay is a mistake, mostly because he’s the victim’s freaking son.

Things would be a lot easier if Bast’s relationship with his four brothers wasn’t so… explosive. As the culprit keeps attacking the Night Court, Mera and Bast will have to catch him before all remaining Dhays are dead.

Everything is connected, and solving this case might just bring Mera closer to Poseidon.

After the events of the first audiobook, To Kill A Fae, I was anxious to get back to more cases with Mera & Sebastian (Bast). This time they are headed to Lunor Insul to investigate the Night King’s murder.

To get there we will need to cross the water, and we gain knowledge about Mera’s murky past.

Meeting Sebastian’s family was interesting. He is a member of the Royal family with a price on his head. I adored his sister and understand his dilemma.

We see growth in the relationship which is turning into a slow burn, as they share secrets and heated moments. I am not completely onboard with some of Bast’s behavior, but there is room for growth and trust.

Poseidon is this hovering threat, but even this far in we don’t know why. The case however was stronger in To Kill A King. I appreciate the partnership forming between these two as an investigative team. They play well off each other.

Suspense mounted as the killer continued to attack the Night Court. It kept the momentum going as it hooked the listener.

Chris Dukehart once again narrated the perspective of Mera, but this time Tim Paige is introduced for the voice & perspective of Bass. I appreciated the dual narrative and as both narrators are stellar. They enhanced the overall story and character development.

Fans of suspense, snark, mystery and the Fae will want to grab the Hollowcliff Detectives on audio. You’ll want to meet these clever, flawed and engaging detectives. This review was originally posted at Caffeinated Reviewer
