Publisher's Summary:

The Plague Charmer, by Karen Maitland, author of the much-loved Company of Liars - her first novel of the plague - will chill and delight fans of Kate Mosse and C. J. Sansom in equal measure.

Riddle me this: I have a price, but it cannot be paid in gold or silver.

Porlock Weir, Exmoor, 1361. Thirteen years after the Great Pestilence, plague strikes England for the second time. Sara, a packhorse man's wife, remembers the horror all too well and fears for the safety of her children. Only a dark-haired stranger offers help but at a price that no one will pay.

Fear gives way to hysteria in the village, and when the sickness spreads to her family, Sara finds herself locked away by neighbours she has trusted for years. And as her husband - and then others - begin to die, the cost no longer seems so unthinkable.

The price that I ask from one willing to pay...a human life.

Critic Reviews:

"A compelling blend of historical grit and supernatural twists." (Daily Mail)

Superstitious Slugfest

This is a dark, dark book. There is precious little joy for Maitland's victims of the plague. The highlight for me was a narration masterclass from Jonathan Keeble and the last few hours of the book which turned out to be well worth the wait. Prior to that I found it a bit of a long haul and to be fair I guess common fisherfolk from the time were not exactly masters of wit. It did feel pretty slow going at times to me though and one of the relationships key to the plot was fairly unlikely.

Overall I'm pleased to have read it but the sheer glumness of the scenario does weigh heavily. Maitland has a good turn of phrase at times and I very much bought into the superstitious paranoia that dominated her medieval characters. A fascinating parallel was that both rich and poor alike shared their ignorance albeit expressed differently.

So, this is a dark tale set in dark times but with Keeble's impressive narration it's definitely worth a read.

Dark and atmospheric

It took me a while to get hooked into this book - it's told through several points of view and it took me about an hour of listening to really get into the characters. After that, I found it addictive listening.

It's a dark tale, but the medieval setting is very believable. The narrator does a very good job, I feel, of differentiating between the different characters and the plot rolls on at a satisfying pace. I have also listened to the Company of Liars by the same author, which I thoroughly enjoyed, and I feel this novel is just as good. I look forward to trying some other books by Karen Maitland.

Intriguing.

I enjoyed this greatly. It is the second Karen Maitland I have listened to. The language pulls off the trick of sounding archaic but not like listening to Chaucer. The narrator is excellent, the characters are engaging. Will the created dwarf is very sympathetic. The language seems to be spoken in a late Victorian style, so understandable but archaic enough to keep disbelief suspended. And you will need to keep disbelief suspended, something I struggle to do but the neat trick of starting chapters with riddles or quasi magic traditions really helped get into a medieval mindset. An unusual and intriguing story, well constructed, brilliantly imagined and very well told.

WOW!

What a pleasant surprise this book was and fantastic narration,who needs tv. One of my favourite all time books. Highly recommended.

A good read !

Great tale & I enjoyed the story.

Publisher's Summary:

Charis Adderly is the secret, mute, mixed race, niece of Mayor Harlow Radclyffe's wife, Madeline. The Radclyffes are the spice of Deer Creek, Alabama; a small town of wealthy people, which is why Charis is passed off as their maid. The glorified men of this town do what they desire to whom they desire, without consequence. That is until Charis witnesses the Mayor in a dangerous compromising position.

Her dreary and horrific existence takes a dramatic turn when she is faced with a choice. She can either reveal her secret to the town and face scrutiny, jail time, maybe even death, or allow the Mayor to continue in his deceit.

While taking care of her daily errands, Charis runs into the handsome Sheriff's son, Kolton Winfield. He is strangely taken by her rustic appearance. He proceeds to display his interest, but is quickly reminded that he is engaged to marry the Magistrate's daughter, Livy Vickers. Soon Charis is thrust into a forbidden whirlwind romance that changes her life forever.

This book is a work of fiction. Any names, characters, places, and incidents that are mentioned in this book are the product of the author's imagination. Any resemblance to any person living or dead is purely coincidental.

Members Reviews:

Four Stars

A modern romance set in the early part of the century. It was entertaining.

Rape, deception, betrayal

Forbidden love. What can I say. This story has many layers. Family deception. Racial tension. Forbidden love. Murder. Charis had a rough life. What happens between her and Kolton is surreal.

Format: Unabridged

Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Limited

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Fiction, Historical

Publisher's Summary:

An epic, escapist novel that will transport you away to an extraordinary time in history. Perfect for fans of Kate Morton and Victoria Hislop.

Rome, 1950s. One fateful night, Hal Jacobs meets Stella, a beautiful society darling from New York. To Hal, flailing in the postwar darkness, she's a point of light. They're from different worlds but both trying and failing to carve out new lives.

Stella vanishes all too quickly, until a curious invitation from an Italian Contessa reels her back into Hal's world. They join the Contessa's collection of luminaries on a yacht headed for the Cannes Film Festival. The scene onboard is a fiction - scars from the war can be hidden yet not healed. Everyone is hiding a dark history, but Stella's secrets run the deepest.

Compelled by her fragile beauty, Hal is determined to bring back the girl she once was, the girl who's been confined to history.

The Invitation is an epic love story that will transport you from the glamour of the Italian Riviera to the darkness of war-torn Spain and to a golden - if rather haunted - time.

Critic Reviews:

"I loved The Invitation...I could dive into this book and be amongst the glittering characters in the Italian sun. A beautifully complex and vivid story, full of repressed longing and secrets. An absolutely enchanting tale." (Lucinda Riley)

"So powerfully evoked...with dark, sensuous undercurrents that lingered on in my mind, long after I'd reluctantly left Stella and Hal behind." (Kate Riordan)

"Full of mystery and long-reaching shadows of the past...richly drawn and compelling." (Rosanna Ley)

"An utterly seductive story depicting forbidden love and loss in 1950s Italy. The perfect beach read this summer." (Louise O'Neill)

"I loved every page - it's vividly written and utterly absorbing." (Iona Gray)

"Glamorous and romantic and bittersweet all at once...a fabulous story." (Beatriz Williams, New York Times best-selling author of A Hundred Summers)

"It's a beautiful, compulsive and glamorous read - perfect for long summer days." (Lucy Clarke, author of the Richard & Judy best seller The Sea Sisters)

"The combination of the glittering, glamorous setting and the magnetic characters mesmerized me. This book is luminous." (Elin Hilderbrand, New York Times best-selling author of Here's to Us)

"A compelling love story that takes us far beyond the alluring Italian coast to a darker place, where secrets hide just below the water's surface.... A great read." (Brunonia Barry, New York Times best-selling author of The Lace Reader)

"Fabulously engrossing." (Woman & Home)

Members Reviews:

Stunning book

Lucy Foley writes exquisitely, the narration is perfect, and the stories totally intriguing. I loved every second of The Invitation, and would rate it as my favourite book for the last couple of years.

One of my favourites!

I really enjoyed this book. Excellent historical story made even better by the amazing narrator.

An enchanting story beautifully read

This is one of those rare stories that really gets to you - it's got a wonderful atmosphere about it, debth of characters and is narrated in such a way that the narrator becomes the soul of the book.

Publisher: Audible Studios

Genres: Fiction, Historical

Publisher's Summary:

It's 1950 and Mickey Tussler - the now-famous pitching prodigy with autism and a golden arm - is back for another baseball season in this third installment of Frank Nappi's critically acclaimed Legend of Mickey Tussler series. Talk of Mickey's legendary exploits on the field has grown since his improbable debut two years prior, as have the fortunes of Murph and the rest of the lovable ragtag Brew Crew. Now Mickey, Murph, and Lester find themselves heading to Bean Town to play for the Boston Braves.

The call up is sweet, for all of them have overcome insurmountable odds to get where they are. But life in the major leagues is filled with fast-paced action both on and off the field. The bright lights of Boston hold a new series of challenges, hardships, and life lessons - especially for Mickey, who finds himself a long way from throwing apples into a barrel back on the farm. The three newest Braves have each other to lean on, as well as a new group of fans who are swept away by pennant fever, but balancing everything this new world has to offer may prove to be the greatest challenge of all.

Sky Pony Press, with our Good Books, Racehorse, and Arcade imprints, is proud to publish a broad range of books for young listeners - picture books for small children, chapter books, books for middle grade listeners, and novels for young adults. Our list includes best-sellers for children who love to play Minecraft; stories told with LEGO bricks; books that teach lessons about tolerance, patience, and the environment, and much more. While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times best-seller or a national best-seller, we are committed to books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.

Members Reviews:

Excellent book

Loved Micky Tussler, and this is just as good. Love all Frank Nappi books! Excellent writer, awesome stories easy and enjoyable reads

Another great book in the Mickey Tussler series

In this third book of the Mickey Tussler series, Mickey now finds himself pitching in the major leagues for the Boston Braves. His manager (who is also now his stepfather) Arthur Murphy and catcher Lester are also employed by the 1950 Braves and the story of their adventures in the National League is the best of the three stories about the young autistic pitcher.

Nappi writes with flowing grace no matter which particular topic is being addressed. Whether itâs Mickey throwing his fastball with pinpoint accuracy, his budding romance with Jolene, the sister of a Braves teammate, or some of the poignant exchanges between Muphy and Molly, his wife and Mickeyâs mother, the reader will be gripped in the emotions of the moment.

The reader will also feel a strong connection with the characters in this story. Of course, those who have read the previous two stories already have had that attachment with Mickey, Molly, Murph and Lester, but it continues with the introduction of Jolene. Having suffered rejection by a parent during her childhood like Mickey, her character is the perfect match for Mickey and their conversations and budding relationship made for the best passages of the book.

Which isnât to say that the baseball writing is bad â these parts are just as good as they are in the first two segments.

Title: Denial of Sudduceism in Salem

Genres: Fiction, Historical

Publisher's Summary:

Denial of Sadduceism in Salem: Caught in a Devil's Cloyster for Witches explores what it might have been like to live in Salem Village in the years between 1689 and 1693. Sadduceism was the belief that no such thing as ghosts, demons, witches, and other supernatural beings existed. To the minds of many who lived in that era that indicated a disbelief in God and in the teachings of the Bible. The King James translation of the Bible had been published in 1611, so educated people would have been able to read it. In England and in the Thirteen Colonies, people could be executed not only for the practice of witchcraft, but also for being Quakers, or for having any religion which deviated from the predominant beliefs, which were for the most part Puritanism and Calvinism. Among the Puritans of Salem Village, women were often heard, but had little real power. Women who were slaves, indentured servants or natives had even less power. It is into this environment that we bring a woman who is a Quaker, has already been imprisoned once for her beliefs, and has been trained as a midwife and doctor. She is, by all definitions, a Sadduceist - that is, a woman who believes in rational explanations for the events of the world.

Members Reviews:

A Quaker Story Set Near the Salem Witch Trials

Denial of Sudduceism in Salem: Caught in a Devil's Cloyster for WitchesThis is an interesting book that starts in England and moves to the 'New World.' The book is not so much about Salem as it is about the Quakers and the discrimination they suffered both in Europe and in America. There is also a lesson about indenture servitude, as the main character is both a Quaker and an indentured servant. The Salem Witch Trial does play a very minor role towards the end of the book, but I would definitely not consider it a witch trial book. It is an interesting look at life in Europe and the US during the time period of the Salem Witch trials. I would recommend this for teenagers and older, mostly because of the rape scenes. The scenes are not particularly graphic, but they may be disturbing to a younger teen. It is a quick read and focuses on the religious discrimination that drove people to the new world, and sometimes followed them here.

Salem

A very interesting book, I like how Kathy take down memory lane of witches. I caught my attention that I could not stop reading the book. Another thing that I like about this book is that it is not predictable. Discrimination has always been a problem in this world.

Salem witch from a different perspective!

I had to read this because of the very weird title. I happened upon an ancient text by accident while researching this term. "Pandaemonium or the Devils Cloyster, Being a further blow to Modern Sadduceism, proving the existence of Witches and Spirits," by Richard Bovet in 1684. The reason I bring this up is that this ancient book must be part of the source material Jones used for this book. Sadduceism is a rational approach to Christian scripture that apparently got people in trouble back in the old witch trial days. Basically if you didn't believe in witches you were denying the literal Word.

Anyway, historical segue aside, this book is a short clearly written tale of a woman moved to the American colonies in the late 1680's after being released from prison.

Publisher's Summary:

When we last left the Mackey Family in the late 1950s, their lives were in turmoil. Divorce, alcoholism, racism, death, puberty - what weren't they dealing with?

Ethel, a black maid in a racist world - the true heart and soul of the Mackey Family - is the children's only constant as she fights her own numerous demons. Twelve-year-old Sallee struggles to understand the world with little enlightenment from the adults around her. Her older sister Stuart, a college student in New York City, finally escaped the South and drama of her family only to succumb to the terrible temptations of urban life. Gordon, a 14-year-old boy feeling anger and hatred as he begins to slowly realize the harsh reality of the people and world around him, while Ginny, newly divorced mother of four, finds that she's not the spoiled princess she once was. She is overwhelmed with responsibility, feelings of abandonment, and alcoholism. Joe, Ginny's ex, and the children's father, revels in newfound wealth and popularity with women, yet yearns for family and simpler times.

Author Mary Morony was born and raised in Charlottesville, Virginia, mainly by her family's beloved black maid. Her childhood was a time of segregated schools and many places that prohibited black people. Morony's inspiration for the Apron Strings Trilogy was her strong relationship with her maid and caretaker, who taught her more about life and love than anyone has since. Morony also uses personal life tragedies and triumphs to produce novels with real experiences and true emotion.

from the love of true friends

Done Growed Up (Apron Strings Trilogy Book 2)Done Growed Up by Mary Morony merges two kinds of Southern fiction. It is driven by many richly drawn charactersâa nearly Dickensian number and concatenationâalmost any one of whom you could imagine being the protagonist of his or her own short story. Her characters are not some stereotypical set, but a rich array of ordinary humanity with layered personalities living in layered communities at a time when the past is battling the future. Among the most central of these personalities, including the POV character, Sallee, are the Mackey children. Yet, this is not a childrenâs book, but a book for those who once were children. A rare kind of irony is realized as Morony leads us to contrast how we understood the world around us when we were young and how we now know it really was. She portrays her revelations about the South in the early 1960s by seamlessly fusing character-based fiction with theme-based.

Perhaps the most pervasive theme in Done Growed Up is hope when there is much to fear: hope from truth, from empathy, from courage, from the love of true friends, from the love of family, and most of all from that rarest of richesâwisdom. Later in the novel, Stuart Mackey passes to her mother an insight she has learned from her wonderful psychiatrist, âsecrets are harmful. They keep things in the darkâ. [K]eeping secrets continues the trauma from one generation to the next.â My own experience as a lifelong southerner who grew up having a large extended family certainly bears out that wisdom.

A dominant theme in the development of Moronyâs characters is growing self-awareness. For the adults, especially Joe and Ginny Mackey as well as C. L. Dabney, this theme operates as self-realization.

Publisher's Summary:

Only how can he explain what he himself doesn't entirely understand? Saddle up for the hard-knock ride Billy takes that changes his life - and the entire town.

Members Reviews:

Great story! Needs a mild OCR polish.

I didn't have to pay anything for this book, but I have to say that if I had paid, it still would have been worth it. The book was well-written and interesting. Billy Ray was a really likable guy, and I found myself rooting for him.

There is not much more I can say except it was an excellent, entertaining story, and I am glad I got to read it. I am actually going to buy the sequel, mainly because I like the main character so much.

I only have one criticism, and it is not about the writing or the writing style. For some reason I don't know, this story was digitized off of an OCR. The telltale signs are words like "dam" that should be "darn." There were a couple of sentences that were hard to decipher. This is a disappointment because the author himself has done such a great job of avoiding the "amateur" mistakes that most "free" Kindle books have. I have seen so many books rushed to publication without a good editor -- or even an edit.

I have no problem with the author using an OCR if he had lost the digital copy of the manuscript, but read through it and get rid of these distracting errors. You are way too good of a writer to let those mistakes damage the quality of your selection.

I originally was going to give this only four stars because of the OCR thing, but on second thought, I am giving it five anyway. Maybe by doing that, more stories like this will come along.

The Transformation

One neat thing about this book is the way the author develops the character of Billy Ray to the point where we understand how he feels, what he is thinking and the accent in his voice--a likable, modest, simple and hard-working young man living in an isolated small mining town. Other interesting features are the details of the inner workings and dangers of mining ore, back in the old days, thousands of feet underground. It's a good story about Billy Ray who is a typical miner, living in the humble worker's quarters, paycheck to paycheck, weekend to weekend, spending Saturday night in town carousing with his miner buddies, until a transformation takes place which upsets his relationships. There is more, but I won't give away the excellent plot that moves along nicely to a satisfactory conclusion.

Redemption

Billy Ray just wants to have a good time. Heâs a miner who works to play. A night of drinking too much and visiting the ladies at Miss Charlotteâs house is his idea of a perfect evening. That is until he meets the preacher. What follows is a story of redemption.

I donât ordinarily read Westernâs but was intrigued by the description. It sounded a bit like the old TV show, Gun Smoke, but with a major twist. I wasnât disappointed. This story isnât filled with shootouts and cattle rustling, itâs about the human condition. Well done and fun to read.

THIS FEELS GOOD!

Billy Ray is someone you just want to meet in person.

The Road from Chapel Hill

This audiobook was given by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review via Audiobook Boom.

I had high hopes for this book, but I was disappointed. The storyling dragged on forever without much original thought. The characters were predictable and after a

while I became bored, just wishing for the end. The American Civil War was a terrible period of time and it takes someone special to tell a fictionalized tale not yet

shared.

The narration was well done,considering the material she was given. The characters were portrayed as well as expected..

Throwing in the towel

After listening to the first couple hours I'm calling it quits. I'm sorry, but I'm finding the story slow, the writing mediocre, the characters one-dimensional and mostly unbelievable, and the narrator not good (terrible accents). I wanted to like it because I was given this book at no charge in exchange for my unbiased review, but I'm sorry, I just don't.
