The Zadok Series Boxset: The Zadok Series, Books 1-3

by Nikki Minty, Khristine Hvam (Narrator), Jodie Harris (Narrator)

ONE girl. TWO worlds. THREE books.

Ruby was murdered on Earth eighteen years ago and reincarnated on Zadok as a Pastel Zeek named Harlow. To be born at the bottom of her race’s caste colour system to a middle-class family of Magentas has made Harlow a source of conflict amongst the ruling Purples, and a source of derision from all three colours.

When Harlow is attacked by a fuegor on Zadok, the effects of its slow reacting venom triggers an unforeseen phenomenon, and due to the strong connection she’d had with her twin sister, Jade, from her previous life, her human spirit is unexpectedly drawn back to Earth.
Now living a double life, she is plunged into a world of intrigue on both planets.

On earth, she watches on in horror as Jade reconnects with Lucas, unaware he was the man who murdered Ruby and got away with it. And to complicate things further, she’s being pursued by Alex, the ghost of Lucas’ twin–who has connections to Zadok and knows more about their ruthless politics than she could have ever imagined.

On Zadok, she becomes embroiled with Jax, the son of the Commanding family. He’s determined to bring about change to the colony’s colour system, but his fight for justice will come at a cost. Forbidden love complicates everything, and Harlow soon finds herself at the heart of an explosive revolution that will end up transforming the landscape of Zadok forever.

As secrets unravel and alliances shift, Harlow must navigate deadly betrayals and impossible choices to help protect those she cares about.

[Carrie · Rating 5 out of 5]

I read The Zadok Series a few years ago and really enjoyed it, so when I saw the audiobooks as a boxset I decided to purchase them and listen to the audiobook version. The narrators did an excellent job. I loved how they used different accents and spoke with such enthusiasm.
I highly recommend this series, especially in audiobook form.

This series SCI-FI/Fantasy series has been written through many POVs, and was therefore narrated by a full cast.
The narration was first class. Everyone’s voices were engaging and kept me thoroughly entertained throughout.
I love the overarching message about love and acceptance.

The Zadok Series is a cosmic cocktail of reincarnation, romance, and rebellion. Ruby, murdered on Earth, is reborn as Harlow on Zadok—a planet where your caste is determined by color, and she’s at the bottom of the palette. Add a forbidden love triangle, a ghostly ex, and a revolution in the making, and you’ve got a series that’s as colorful as it is captivating. If you like your YA with a splash of sci-fi and a dash of drama, this series is your new binge.

[Shani · Rating 5 out of 5]

The Zadok Series was unique, diverse, and everything I could ask for in a SCI-FI/Fantasy series. It’s only mildly SCI-FI like the Avatar movies (In fact it kind of reminded of the Avatar movies sometimes). I absolutely loved the narrators who were picked to voice this series. They did a fabulous job, especially with all of the different accents.

[Karen S · Rating 5 out of 5]

I am so in love with this series. It’s SCI-FI meets real-life emotions, and it doesn’t hold back. The characters are messed up (in a relatable way), and the story goes deep into identity, power, and fitting in. It felt raw and real—like it was written from the heart. If you’re into otherworldly drama, intense feelings, and a story that doesn’t sugarcoat anything, you’ll be hooked.
