Flame and Ash by Morgan Brice - Audiobook Review

Kale Williams narrates Brice's latest fantasy romance

By Ted RyanPublished 3 years ago • 3 min read

Morgan Brice cleverly weaves a Romeo and Juliet romance mixed with magic and a road trip. The witch mythology was really well crafted and fitted in well in this universe Brice has created. Seth and Evan's romance was so perfectly written so naturally and I enjoyed how Brice found a balance between the small intimate character moments and the danger being in a relationship for them is.

Kale Williams had a brilliant voice for narration. His tone and performance range complimented this story nicely, shifting between soothing and emotional with ease. I would definitely listen to more books narrated by him.

As I stated, Brice has a great voice for combining detailed fantasy world-building alongside a grounded love story. It was a fast, but enjoyable listen. I would rate this a THREE-STAR read!

The hunters become the hunted when the witch knows they're coming to get him, and has deadly plans of his own.

One hundred years ago, a sheriff's posse killed dark warlock Rhyfel Gremory, but his witch-disciples escaped, and their magic made them nearly immortal. To keep their power, each year one of the witch-disciples kills a descendant of one of the men in the posse, a 12-year cycle that has cost dozens of lives, including that of Seth Tanner's brother, Jesse.

Seth rescued Evan Malone from one of the witches, and they've fallen in love despite the danger and chaos, going on the road to complete the quest and bring an end to the ritual murders. Their relationship is new, their emotions are raw, and the danger is real. It's a challenge to find their way as a couple while they're on the road together in the close quarters of Seth's RV, training in magic and combat skills to fight off a supernatural killer.

Their quest to stop a century-long killing spree takes them to a small town in the Blue Ridge Mountains. They're ahead of the sacrifice cycle, with plans to stop the murders and kill the dark witch. Only this time, the hunters become the hunted when the witch knows they're coming to get him, and has deadly plans of his own.
