Tethered to the World is the first chapter in Phantom Touched Series. This is a paranormal romance novel which is written by Stacey Brutger. She is an author of paranormal romance and urban fantasy novels. Heart of the Assassins and Queen of the Assassins are two of the very best novels that Stacey Brutger has authored. The audio narration of Tethered to the World novel is done by Natalie Eaton. It was a nice performance that provided inflections for setting up the right tone for the storyline, even though most of the male voices sounded identical.
Anna was born with the great and surprising ability to defy death. She was warned about keeping her magical gift to be a secret. But it was her extremely greedy uncle who just couldn’t stop exploiting her by any necessary and possible means. Beatings, starvation, and broken bones, and that was all that she had endured earlier and eventually came out of it better and stronger. But that was not good enough for him. When she found that her uncle was planning to sell her out to whoever gives the highest bid she risked almost everything just to escape from the prison which was fast becoming her regular life.
The very last thing that Stacey Brutger was expecting was to land in an academy or the university meant for the supernatural kind. If not then just get paired with a pack of men who were believed to be as broken as she was.
Overall, Tethered to the World is a beautiful listen. The story is decent enough to be tried while the narration is not bad as well.
