Powerful Purples
written by Nikki Minty
narrated by: Khristine Hvam, James Patrick Cronin, James Fouhey
An explosive ceremony rocks Winter’s caves and those responsible must flee to the Drake village and start a new life.
When Harlow is imprisoned by the Queen’s guards, Slater is forced to flee for his life and team up with Jax—the one man he detests more than any other. Together with courageous Zadonians from all four races, they devise a daring rescue mission to save Harlow from impending death.
Nothing is what it seems, however, and Harlow finds herself being drawn into political intrigue that will change the landscape of Summer and Winter forever.
Torn between Slater’s wants and needs, and her own—will Harlow stay to keep Slater happy or follow her heart and return with Jax?

Overall: I can’t believe I’m already at book three! I’ve loved every minute of this series, but this installment really stepped it up.
Story: This book was full of tension, and it was so hard to pause once I got into it. We get to know the characters even more, and see more of the summer side of things. I was dying to see what choice Harlow would make in the end, and how she’d get out of her predicament. I’m not crazy about Slater, Jax is amazing, and I’ll always love Harlow. Also, I don’t want to give too much away, and you should definitely start at book one or this won’t make much sense, but you really don’t want to miss out on this series!
Narration: Another great round of narration, with each narrator taking a different POV, but still distinguishing voices, so it’s easy to tell who’s narrating and who’s talking. They really bring the story to life, and even though you’re listening, it’s easy to get lost because you’re almost watching it unfold as you hear it.
