Reviews

This is a dystopian romance unlike any I've read before. Carmody captivates you from the very first page with all the nostalgia of 2010s fantasy and a delicious enemies-to-lovers romance that sinks its teeth into you. I couldn't put it down!
Brooke Fast, author of To Cage a Wild Bird
The Shadows that Listen plunges you into a world of angels and demons where both sides are equally monstrous. Carmody's prose is grippingly cinematic, studded with cat-and-mouse games and explosive combat scenes. This fierce, compulsive read is softened by the judicious weaving through of a slow-burn enemies to lovers romance. A magical debut; I feel I have witnessed the beginning of a new legend
Brigitte Knightley, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Irresistible Urge to Fall For Your Enemy
The Shadows That Listen blurs the lines between heaven and hell with taut action and electric twists, drawing you in so deeply you never want to come back to earth. Unapologetically slow-burn and insanely addictive
Lyra Selene, author of A FEATHER SO BLACK
