About this audiobook

A magical journey of second chances, hidden mysteries, and the unexpected enchantment of a small village—where love, loss, and the fae collide in the most surprising ways.

Elenna Kane gave her heart to Jamie, his farm, his needy rescue animals, and his rambling, impractical house. But after his death, she's left struggling to hold onto a life that feels increasingly impossible. 

Just when she’s ready to walk away, the village of Mullarkey Mills wraps her in its quirky embrace. As the seasons change, an old plow horse teaches her to hold onto joy. A wind phone becomes her bridge to Jamie’s memory even as she cautiously explores the possibility of new love. And the whispering woods begin to reveal their hidden truths, drawing Elenna into a shocking mystery that will open her eyes to the dark splendor of the fae living right under her nose.

Black Annis Year is a new cozy fantasy from the author of the Valkyrie Bestiary. Grab it now for a tale that will leave you believing in second chances, love that transcends time, and the wonder that’s always just beyond the trees.

I enjoyed this book a lot. The story was charming and had a lot of emotional impact. I felt for Elenna Kane as she was dealing with grief over the loss of her husband. There were times when I laughed, and parts where I had tears in my eyes. I was enchanted by the addition of the fae. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series. I was entertained by Fadra Nally's narration, and I thought her performance enhanced the story's entertainment. I was given a copy of the audiobook.

About the author

If Kim McDougall could have one magical superpower, it would be to talk to animals. Or maybe to shift into animal form. Definitely, fantastical critters and magic often feature in her stories. So until Kim can change into a griffin and fly away, she writes dark and humorous Urban, Epic and Cozy Fantasy from her little farm at the edge of the woods in Quebec, Canada. Kim’s book series include the Valkyrie Bestiary, The Knack, The Fair Folk of Mullarkey and Hidden Coven.
