Love Found and a Love to Be Found

This is a new author to me and I really like her writing. This book was so interesting that I couldn't put it down. I could relate to the characters as they were lifelike and the storyline was terrific. Of course, there were some twists and turns to keep it interesting to the end. Eli, Anna, Daniel, Eleanor were loving and fun. Theoran made a great villain. I've read this story out of order, so now, I'm going to read the first book in the series and I also signed up for book 3. I definitely recommend this book. Enjoy!

My only complaint...too short!!

Oh my goodness...loved the first and this one didn't disappoint! I haven't read very many series where I'm anxious to find out how everything resolves...right now, it's still a mystery! Love all the moving parts...when one aspect is revealed, another pops up to keep you riveted!

Great Read

I am voluntarily writing a review for an ARC and have also read the first book in this series. I loved the first one book and now have fallen for the second book. I am a sucker for dragon shifter books and this one was great! Had great characters and would recommend reading the first book to get the full affect but it did not necessary. Would definitely recommend this to people. I liked it so much that I bought it for my daughter.

Mixed feelings but...

I'm going to give this a four minus. Similar to a B-.

The stuff I didn't like:

Insta-love. It's just me, I know, but seriously not a fan. I feel like the meat of the story is missing when there's no build up. A character isn't as developed and its like a cop out for the author. I knew going into this book that this was the type of story so I'm not holding it against them. Altho I will say the characters don't seem very developed here.

Time jumps. Normally this isn't a issue for me, but it just seems like too much is left out of the story in this case. When I say time jumps, I'm referring to the story moving forward with either weeks or months left out.

The stuff I liked:

The still untold evil. We know it's coming. We are given abundant references to the root of evil coming - almost to the point it's irritating (enough with the "I'm not telling you what's coming" between the king and queen already!). But the unknown keeps you drawn in.

Points of view equally shared. Ergo Eli and Anna are still involved while Daniel and Eleanor's story builds.

Plot. Despite the things I didn't like, the plot is good. Writing is good. I'm intrigued enough that I want to keep going and I'll definitely read the third book. The way this ended, I'm not even sure Theron is as bad as we are led to believe.

Publisher's Summary:

Remember what I said about saving the world? Yeah, apparently the third time is the charm. Turns out our little plan to stop the apocalypse left the gate open for some bastards straight out of HP Lovecraft. Now they've come on through to try to turn the planet into an all you can eat buffet. That's not exactly my jam, so if I want to go on living here, I'll need to find a way to stop them. My name is Frank Butcher, and one way or another, I'm putting an end to this once and for all.

Book 3

Which scene was your favorite?

This trilogy was a quick and easy read/ listen to. The world and protagonist weren't particularly unique, but it flowed better than most and did some things with the mythology that most urban fantasy stories shy away from. Overall I liked this series.

Gods , Gods

This was a great Urban Fantasy. Even thought i have not read the first two books, i had no problem following the story. I hope there will be more in this series. The story line was great. Each character was great. Joe Hempell really did a great job narrating. He is one of the best. He always does a great job.

Fist of Irony

Joe Hempel knocked this out of the ballpark. He kept it more interesting than the story line.

As the finale in the trilogy series I expected more depth and a longer progression to the climax. Unfortunately, it was too brief and not completely satisfying. After all that is done and said, if you cut out the "catch me ups" in books two and three, this could have been an all-in-one urban fantasy and been worthwhile.

I'm really pleased I was able to listen to this within a month and not have swallowed this bitterness of unmet expectations.

Snark rules the day!

A great ending to an entertaining trilogy! The story picks up right where the last installment left off & we find Frank Butcher still in the mode of trying to save the world.

Plenty of magic, mythology, gods & goddesses, a touch of romance & loads of action....what more could you ask for?

The narrator, Joe Hempel, does an excellent job & definitely adds a lot to the book. I truly enjoyed listening to this trilogy & will definitely be looking for more books by these authors. I have to say that I am going to miss Frank's snarky attitude!

The battles will be even more epic than before

This is the third installment in this series. The author brings the characters in the story is a whole new level's new alliances, betrayals and fascinating twists that will leave you shocked. Romances become complicated evil gods out of lovecraftian lore are taking over the universe. And of course our unwitting initially unwilling hero must save everybody. So how is it going to manage it to you in a have to listen or read to find out. Enjoy this latest chapter and what is a truly wonderful series expertly narrated.

Title: The Stravinsky Intrigue

Author: Darin Kennedy

Narrator: Elizabeth Evans

Format: Unabridged

Length: 12 hrs and 50 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-09-17

Publisher: Audible Studios

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Supernatural & Paranormal

Publisher's Summary:

Nine months have passed since psychic Mira Tejedor last walked the halls of Anthony Faircloth's adolescent mind. All but family now, Mira is relocating to Charlotte, NC, not only for a much-needed change of scenery, but to further her burgeoning relationship with Dr. Thomas Archer. On the eve of her move, however, a new threat emerges.

Young girls from every corner of Charlotte are falling catatonic, a condition eerily similar to the illness from which Mira rescued Anthony the previous fall. Mira reluctantly agrees to help Detective Calvin Sterling with the case and soon finds herself pulled into a new pair of fantasy worlds, both borne from the brilliant mind of Igor Stravinsky.

In the world of The Firebird, Mira becomes the warrior Ivanovna and battles an immortal evil threatening to steal the girls' souls for all eternity. In the Russian fair from Petrushka, she assumes the role of Ballerina, one of three magical puppets who dance at the whim of a cruel Charlatan. Torn between Moor and Clown, bizarre doppelgangers of the two vastly different men in her life, and threatened at every turn by a sorcerer who craves her very essence, Mira must navigate the cruel deceptions of both worlds and win, or her life and the lives of a dozen innocents will be forfeit.

Critic Reviews:

"This rock-solid sequel to The Mussorgsky Riddle features magic, mayhem, and masterful detail along with twists that will enthrall you - Darin Kennedy wins again with his strong characters, gripping plot, and page-turning action." (Linda Robertson, author of the Persephone Alcmedi series and Joviennne)

Members Reviews:

Who will survive this mind-boggling battle of ballets?

After I finished reading "The Mussorgsky Riddle" by Darin Kennedy, I hoped there would be a sequel, because I had fallen in love with the characters of Mira Tejedor, a psychic, and Anthony Faircloth, a traumatized teenager whose descent into the recesses of his own mind was so deep that only a person with Mira's gifts could bring him back. I got my wish when Kennedy published "The Stravinsky Intrigue."

Returning for another imaginative romp through the mysteries of hijacked minds were Mira, Anthony, and their loved ones. Although Anthony is not the one in a hypnotic state this time, young girls all over Charlotte, North Carolina are disappearing, only to be found in comas. Detective Sterling, who worked the first case, begins to suspect a connection to Anthony, so he calls on police consultant Mira, who is in the process of relocating to Charlotte to move in with her boyfriend, Dr. Archer, Anthony's therapist. Mira discovers more and more clues suggesting that Anthony is the catalyst for the musical mayhem that is being orchestrated by an unknown enemy.

Title: Fade

Subtitle: Paxton Locke, Book 1

Author: Daniel Humphreys

Narrator: J. Scott Bennett

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 42 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-06-17

Publisher: Daniel Humphreys

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 42 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Supernatural & Paranormal

Publisher's Summary:

Son of a witch.

Family drama is bad enough without adding magic and human sacrifice. Ten years ago, Paxton Locke's mother killed his father in a mysterious ritual that - thankfully - went incomplete. Now, Paxton makes his living as a roving paranormal investigator, banishing spirits while Mother languishes in jail.

When a terrified ghost warns him of a dangerous, newly freed entity, Paxton faces a fight far beyond simple exorcism. In a battle for his very soul, will he be able to endure - or simply fade away?

Members Reviews:

Fade

What about J. Scott Bennetts performance did you like?

He performed very good

Any additional comments?

This is a really a good book and a great way to start a new series. Paxton Locke is a young man with special skills . He thought that he was safe from that past, but a series of events brings them all crashing back at him. Good first book in the series

Mommy Dearest on Steroids

When you tell someone their mother is a witch, those are usually fighting words. In Paxton Lockes case, the words are true and she lives up to her moniker. Paxton mother is now in prison and hes determined to keep her there, but she has an awfully long reach.

Author Daniel Humphreys combines familial angst and paranormal to create an engaging story unique in its telling.

J. Scott Bennett has fully voiced this nearly 7-hour audiobook and does a fantastic job. His narrating style is expressive and a perfect match for this genre.

This audiobook was received in exchange for an unbiased review!

Ghosts, witches and evil

I really enjoyed this entertaining audiobook that tells the story of a ghost hunter with a really evil, psychotic mother. You can not help but become attached to Paxton, he is a flawed, reluctant hero who eliminates ghost from the world and has a past that would leave mental scars the size of the Grand Canyon on anyone. This book has action, ghosts, witches, suspense, magic, interesting twists and evil abound. Scott Bennett did an excellent job of the narration. He gave the characters individual voices, brought the tension and creepiness out and moved the story forward at just the right pace. This book easily draws you in and keeps you entertained right to the end.

Surprising.

Any additional comments?

I must admit this book turned out quite different from what I expected. From the summary I was expecting it to be more ghost focused, and while there were definitely ghosts involved, it was more magic centric. That being said, it was still quite an interesting tale. I don't want to put in any spoilers, but Paxton, the protagonist, has had quite a rough life and one heck of a twisted family situation, and in a way I am mad at the author for how he only teases us with Paxton's mother. That being said, he must be doing something right because I want to know what happens next.

The book is narrated by J. Scott Bennett, who once again does an excellent job and he is quickly becoming a favorite of mine. He has a unique voice with a smooth relaxed delivery.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

*I requested and received a code for this audio book via Audiobook Boom!*

Okay so, about halfway through this, I was thinking I was going to give a good, solid, 4 star rating. It flows really well, the story plot is wonderful, and I love the cast of characters.

Publisher's Summary:

Jack Spirelli, paranormal investigator, public debunker of paranormal frauds, and private fixer for the magic-using community has opened his doors.

Jack's in a crunch. Since he went pseudo-public with Spirelli Paranormal Investigations, his business has sky-rocketed. Debunking the scum who prey on vulnerable targets makes up half his business now. And the rest of his time? Jack's on speed dial with the Texas Lycan Pack, the Inter-Pack Policing Cooperative gives him an occasional ring, and anything that goes bump in the night might just call him with a job. He needs an assistant, another investigator, and some additional muscle, but maybe the dragon who just walked in and applied will do for now.

This volume contains the first three episodes of Season One. Each is a complete stand-alone story.

Members Reviews:

Spirelli Paranormal Investigations

A great book, I especially enjoyed the flow of adventures that kept things interesting. Im looking forward to more:-)

The wonderful world of SPI!

Jack Spirelli has embraced the other and opened SPI. The adventures and new (and old if you read Kate often) characters introduced in this series all come together so well with the sense of twisty humor that we all love from Kate. A great read for readers who enjoy paranormal and/or mystery. Some language may make it unsuitable for some young readers.

Narrator and story too boring

I had to fast toward and up the speed to get through thie menusha of dull details and the narrators flat and slow voice. I made it to the end after sevaral breaks...funny for such a short book. And will avoid this narrator and author in future.

paranormal investigations

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would recommend to my friends who love the paranormal.

What did you like best about this story?

The friendship between Jack and Maren.

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

I liked the male voice because the main character is Jack. Hard for me to tell the difference between the characters speaking.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, because this was a different type book than I am use to listening too so I had to think about what I heard.

Great Series

Any additional comments?

Great series, starting with Jack and Merin's first meeting and watching their relationship develop as they..and we/... get to know each other, and then joining them on their investigations.

I read this series the first time around so I wasn't sure of the narrator, because that wasn't the way I heard the voice in my head...BUT, after about 15 mins of listening, he seemed perfect.

This is a really good series with likable characters and interesting stories that are their well developed case files that you'll definitely want more of.

Highly recommend it.

Publisher's Summary:

Sherlock Holmes is a timeless character, beloved by many. This is not that Holmes. The year is 1880, 11 years prior to the classic stories that we know, and we step into an alternate universe where monsters are not just under the bed but around every corner. Holmes must use all of his intellectual prowess to sort through this strange underworld of creatures once believed to be only the stuff of lore and children's nightmares. Having abandoned his career as a private investigator the quintessential sleuth is about to make the acquaintance of Dr. John Watson, and with the help of his peculiar new ally, as well as some reimagined versions of other classic Holmes characters, he must endeavor to unravel a mystery that seems to be emanating from the very halls of justice itself. For you see, there is a terror at Scotland Yard!

Members Reviews:

Surprisingly good

Once you can get by the rather "strange if not wildly weird " premise of this story it is a good Sherlock Holmes adventure .

Unoriginal

If you've watched the show Grimm, this is exactly that! Its like they took the show and made a few minor changes. Instead of Detective Nick Burkhardt, you have Detective Sherlock Holmes. Burkhardt is a Grimm and can see people who are really monsters. Holmes is called something a bit different but has the same ability. Burkhardt is given a book that has been passed down through generations with information on these different monsters. Holmes comes across a similar book. Both Holmes and Burkhardt didn't realize they had this ability until adulthood. There really were no differences that made this story original. The only reason I listened to the whole book was because of the great narration. Alex Eller did an excellent job with each of the characters and all of the different voices and accents. I'd really love to hear more of his work.

Lovely voice work

This is a new voice on the scene and I hope we hear much more from Alex Eller. He has a lovely distinctive clear tone, and you can tell how much he enjoys making all the characters come alive. A great 'listen'

Title: Deadroads

Subtitle: A Novel of Supernatural Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

Lutie always wanted a pet ghost - but the devil's in the details.

The Sarrazins have always stood apart from the rest of their Bayou-born neighbors. Almost as far as they prefer to stand from each other. Blessed - or cursed - with the uncanny ability to see beyond the spectral plane, Aurie has raised his children, Sol, Baz, and Lutie, in the tradition of the traiteur, finding wayward spirits and using his special gift to release them along Deadroads into the afterworld. The family, however, fractured by their clashing egos, drifted apart, scattered high and low across the continent.

But tragedy serves to bring them together. When Aurie, while investigating a series of ghastly (and ghostly) murders, is himself killed by a devil, Sol, EMT by day and traiteur by night, Baz, a traveling musician with a truly spiritual voice, and Lutie, combating her eerie visions with antipsychotics, are thrown headlong into a world of gory sprites, brilliant angels, and nefarious demons - small potatoes compared to reconciling their familial differences.

From the Louisiana swamps to the snowfields of the north and everywhere in between, Deadroads summons you onto a mysterious trail of paranormal proportions.

Members Reviews:

What a great story! Beaucoup good! Highly recommend!

It's been a while since a story captivated me like this one, and in so many different ways. First, there's the main characters, the Sarrazin family; Maman Mireille, Papa Aurie, and children Sol, Baz and Lutie. Papa is a traiteur, Sol a traiteur-in-training. In French Acadiana, the term traiteur means a faith healer, but the kind of healing that Aurie and Sol practice is not what you might expect. Baz isn't traiteur material, but has his own talents. Maman has her own abilities, as does Lutie, which eventually tear the family apart.

The story of this complicated and gifted/cursed family unfolds throughout the book, interweaving a central mystery that kept me in suspense, glued to my reader. That's the second way this book really worked for me, Riopelle's masterful merging of each main character's story with the central mystery, along with the slow reveal of the past that further developed the characters and the mystery itself. The main characters are sometimes likable, sometimes hateful, always interesting, presented in a spare, unflinching prose that matches the wintery plains where the story unfolds.

Thirdly, there's the wonderful use of French/Acadian language throughout the book, largely sans translation. Although the family hasn't lived in Louisiana for a long time, the language follows them as surely as the past, an inescapable heritage that provides both strength and burden. I found myself lingering over the words like tasting a fine wine, getting into the vowel-ly words as a character in itself. Don't know French, but found myself pretty close when guessing what was said as I read along, and then found a translation. I would LOVE to hear this book read, I think it would be a remarkable experience!

Deadroads is a very satisfying and rewarding read. I hope that Riopelle follows up with another book in the Sarrazin saga soon!

It was just okay to me, but that's just me

For some reason I had a hard time reading this book and I really can't say why. I think maybe there were just too many trippy moments in this book.

Title: All of a Sudden

Author: R.P. Wolff

Narrator: Danielle Brown

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10 hrs and 3 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-18-17

Publisher: R.P. Wolff

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 37 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Supernatural & Paranormal

Publisher's Summary:

On April 21, 2016, three vastly different individuals of different ages woke up on top of their graves. Each of them died on April 20 but in different years, and each of them had not aged since their untimely deaths.

One of them was Beverley Smith, a maid for the Bartons, a powerful Dallas family. The Bartons raped and murdered her in 1969. Her husband and son searched for her for over 40 years. Another was Frank Prescott, a wealthy owner of a famous restaurant chain, who died in 2010 from a heart attack after a confrontation with his son, who was embezzling money from his company. The third person was Madison Keller, a 14-year-old girl who died in a fire in 2007 along with her parents and other younger siblings.

The three struggled to acclimate themselves into a society that doubted their identity. People didn't believe them. People thought they were nuts. Beverley and Frank sought revenge against the tormentors who were responsible for their violent deaths. Madison, who feared being sent to an orphanage, searched for someone to care for her.

Like all of R.P. Wolff's novels, All of a Sudden is a pause resister with unexpected twists that keep the listener guessing.

All of a Sudden

What did you like best about this story?

A murder mystery and paranormal intrigue with a touch of romance. I am drawn in from the beginning and will find it hard to put down.

Great premise, rough execution

I liked the idea behind this book. While not totally unique (remember "The 4400"?), it still felt like an original idea from the author's mind.

The story follows 3 people who have awoken atop their graves after dying at various points in the past. Two of them have grievances against persons still living, while one is just a child who barely got to live. Wolff chronicles the trials they face trying to rejoin a society that thought them long dead.

While some of the characters were a bit flat (I found all of the relationships felt forced), I did appreciate the growth that others received. I actually found myself respecting the actions one or two that I was dead set on disliking throughout.

While the story does seem to plod along in several places (I think we could have shaved a few hours off the run time), it does reach a meaningful conclusion and we're treated to an epilogue that I found satisfying.

Sadly, I found the narration distracting. The dialogue was especially hard to get through as it was read with no emotion and the male voices tended to sound like a kid puffing up his chest and pretending to sound grown up. I could actually visualize her faux gruff expression moreso than the words being spoken.

Listening at 1.2-1.5x speed made the narration (and runtime) more bearable.

I received this book for free in exchange for my honest review. It's not a bad way to spend a credit, but I think you may enjoy reading this more than listening.

Disappointing

Would you try another book from R.P. Wolff and/or Danielle Brown?

I feel as though I would be willing to give R.P. Wolff a chance on another book, but I'm not sure about Danielle Brown. Maybe if she did a straight read of a book, then I would consider it.

What was most disappointing about R.P. Wolffs story?

The most disappointing thing about this book is that the premise was so interesting, but the story wasn't able to come close to matching the level of intrigue.

Publisher's Summary:

Something witchy this way comes.

Kindergarten-teacher-slash-sorceress Ivie McKie has officially sworn off magic. With her father back from the dead - just in time for her upcoming wedding to sexy former magician Jackson Blake - Ivie has plotted a course straight to happily-ever-after-ville. And she won't let anything get in her way this time.

But Daddy Dearest has something sneaky up his sleeve. When "just one more spell" goes horribly wrong and detours her into the path of her father's dangerously hot new apprentice, Ivie has to scramble to get the magic...and her love life...back on track.

Along the way, she encounters a promise made before she was born, a clan of Scottish sorcerers in kilts, and yet another goat.

Suddenly Spellbound is a new madcap adventure featuring Ivie McKie from Suddenly Sorceress.

Members Reviews:

Oops, she did it again.

Oops, she did it again.

Warning: Ends with a goat of a cliffhanger

Ill be honest and say I struggled a bit with Book 2 of the Ivie McKie series. As with Book 1, I loved the beginning, found the cliffhanger a hoot, and cant wait to read the next book (in this case, the final installment). But as with the first book, I found the middle a little convoluted. Some of that is to be expected because lets be honest this is about a sorceress, meddling parents, and magic.

Throw in a fashion-obsessed best friend, wedding-dress shopping, and a hot fiancé, and its all good, right?

Enter an ancient Scottish curse, men clad in kilts (yummy), a crazy and powerful sorceress, and its clear Ivie is in over her head. Again, the secondary characters are often as much fun as Ivie.

There were moments of humour in this book and another goat but I didnt find myself laughing out loud as I had while listening to the first book. Overall, I enjoyed it and will definitely listen to Book 3 when it comes out.

Now, I have to address the narrator. I adored Kathryn Merry, narrator of the first book. Her comedic timing and voices for Ivie and her crew were perfect. I understand sometimes it is necessary to switch narrators, but the choice of Jorie Raine Fradella was unfortunate. I know finding narrators capable of highbrow British, faux-French, ragin Cajun, and Scottish brogue would be a challenge, but Ms. Fradella simply wasnt up to the task. I truly dislike saying anything bad, but listeners need to be warned. For many, it wont matter. For me, unfortunately, it did. If she narrates the third book, I will still listen. Its just too bad as she detracts from the quirky book. That being said, it is still worth a listen.

Excellent, Excellent!!

Would you listen to Witches' Secrets again? Why?

I would for sure! Anything that lifts my spirits and makes me chuckle is a sure bet!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Witches' Secrets?

They all are but I particularly like imagining little grins, eyes rolling and sarcasm from our main girl!

Have you listened to any of Tiffany Doughertys other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have. I think they're all quite good. I think I would rate this performance at the top.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I always go for the last chapter. I always feel satisfaction when I guess right, even more when I'm wrong.

Any additional comments?

Can't go wrong with a Morgana Best story.
