Members Reviews:
Good narrative, great story
What about Kevin T. Collinss performance did you like?
His voice was very clear and expressive, he was able to put on various accents for different characters that made the story flow better and his reading sound more authentic
Any additional comments?
The occasional sound effects were a great addition, but (from the perspective of a performing musician) the music was terrible. It was often out of time, repeititive or just cringeworthy. It's a very small complaint, but nonetheless annoying to hear the same poorly played song repeated for the millionth time.
a beautiful story, I can wait to read the others
The sounds! Only I can tell that, the sounds, so beautiful. Listen with headphones and you live the action within
Not sure
This book was missing something I just wanted more to happen in it. But I might get the second one and see how it will go from there
true love

An identity crisis of a book, with audio-problems
This book has an identity crisis. It doesn't know if it wants to be:
- a love story (a la Twilight) between a boy and a girl who's unpopular and different in some way;
- or a coming of age story of a boy learning to stand up to the different pressures and expectations of his parents, his mammy-style housekeeper, his friends, assorted bullies and the small-town mentality;
- or, a boy trying to understand the mysteries of his family - his mother's work, his father's reclusiveness, his housekeeper's superstitions;
- or, a guide to the dark arts in the deep South;
- or, a girl's coming-of-age story, her tale of grappling with issues of identity and abandonment, acceptance of her true nature, being different, bullied, etc.;
- or, the story of fantastical clan and their family issues, their powers, etc.;
- or, the story of an historical couple and their tragic love (though the reader gets dumped into their climax without getting to know and care for them).
So the authorS (part of the problem?), just throw it all together.
