About this listen

Anne Rice and J. K. Rowling’s worlds collide in this exhilarating and pause-resisting debut contemporary fantasy novel. Enter the Phoenix Chronicles universe today and prepare yourself for an action packed fantasy thriller with earthshaking mystery and apocalyptic dangers. Packed with mystical wonders, vampires, werewolves, wizards, demons, and gods, this story will captivate you and leave you wanting more.

Follow the story of young, apprehensive student, Kristian Wallace as he finds himself thrust back into a world he had previously rejected. After leaving behind the mystery, magic, and mysticism of the “Order of Light”, Kristian is once again on a dangerous mission against supernatural forces. Returning to confront the challenges bestowed upon those who are chosen to blend with a magical entity, known as a Phoenix; Kristian uses the special powers endowed to him, as he soon comprehends the reality that he can no longer hide from his destiny.

When the mission takes a much darker path, with deadly consequences, a far more sinister plot is revealed. Kristian troubled by echoes of his past, must use all his abilities to stay alive and to prevent an apocalyptic future that threatens to destroy everything he holds dear.

Alone in the Light is an introduction into the fantastical and intricate universe of the Phoenix Chronicles. This standalone novel sets out the beginnings of a six-part saga, one filled with magic, peril, and endless intrigue.

Vampire's , Warewolves, and Jackals!

Alone in the light is filled with Magic and Monsters. It is filled with lots of world and character building as is expected being the first book in the series. It was a joy listening to this fantasy audiobook as the journey of Kristian went on. From the epic battles with monsters till the end this book has me interested in the next book!

I was given this audiobook at my request and have left this voluntary review.

Phoenix

This is a great story! Lots of characters, lots of story. I did struggle a bit with the narration. Loved the accent, but needed a bit more passion.

I really like the world this author created. I am looking forward to reading more from this world. The characters are captivating, and I love how the good guys band together against the forces of evil.

hmmm

I felt that this story has a lot of promise the world-building really did not take shape in this first book in my mind only the premise between the good and the evil that is perceived by man. I rate books based if I would listen again. I really enjoyed the narrator style. but I don't see myself listening to this book again .

Surprisingly interesting

Firstly I've never been big on Urban fantasy but I don't turn down a code in exchange for an honest review.

The story revolves around Kristian and his struggle to basically stop the world from ending while coming to terms with his emotions. As far as YA Urban Fantasy goes I found the MC and most of the other characters were well enough fleshed out including Johnathon the Director of the good guys who shows his humanity. The baddies for lack of a better word were fit for purpose but a little more fleshing out wouldn't hurt.

Secondly the narration

Although I usually associate an Irish accent with old or medieval fantasy I found it fitted in well with the story and gave it a nice charm. I have listened to a few of Andrew's books and find that his accent is suitable for fantasy or romance but I wouldn't fit it in with other genres. I was skeptical that it would suit as an Urban fantasy generally has a more modern feel but to be honest with vampires and phoenixes et all the accent was spot on.

If I could I would give it 4.5 Stars Overall as the baddies could have done with a bit of fleshing out and although the accent was fine I would still prefer an English or American accent but that's just my preference.

good ideas

I was lucky enough to get a free copy of this audiobook. I enjoyed the concept but didn't quite get sucked into the action for some reason, a bit hard connecting with the characters. I like the attempt at a "science" behind what's going on. I'm likely to give the next book in the series a go to see if it's one of those great series with a slow-ish start.

Great beginning!

I loved listening to the story while working. Although I did stop working a few times as I was getting sucked into listening! Oops! Andrew McDermott is an incredible narrator of all the books I've listened to. Truly great beginning to a great series and look forward to more!

♥️Loved the story! Awesome narrator!♥️

Alone in the Light by M.K. Williams is a fantastic story with a lot of substance and I enjoy being able to escape my reality and dive into the world of vampires, werewolves and other-worldly beings. There are so many characters that I kept forgetting who they were and which side they were on. To help myself, I started a list of characters just to keep it all straight. I hope the author has another book or two up their sleeve. I would be interested to hear more.

Narrator, Andrew McDermott did a wonderful job! He has a very soothing voice and I think his accent is perfect for this genre. I enjoyed hearing his versatility when it came to the Asian characters. Well done! I will admit that I ran this book at 1.25 speed just to pick it up a bit, though. It helped the 13+ hours go by faster but didn’t take away from his performance. 😉

Well worth a credit! I’m very much looking forward to book two!

Alone in the Light


From the beginning, the the story had me interested. A guy fighting against his destiny only to ultimately have to face up to what was meant to be and to become engaged in this mystical and dangerous world of vampires, phoenixes and dark creatures- to me sounded right up my street.

Not bad

Interesting story and nice narrator. Felt it needed a little more depth in places but all in all, I enjoyed the listen. The narrator's voice was soothing but a bit more inflection would knock it up to five stars.
