Another great installation of the series

Revisado: 02-02-24

This is a hefty book, but it’s really good and has great narration, storyline and pop culture references. I would say so far this one is my favorite followed by the second book. Can’t wait to start the fourth

Better than the first

Revisado: 11-20-23

I enjoyed the first installment but found it to not be super engaging and a little slow. I felt the premise was very interesting so decided to stick with the series. I’m glad I did. Book 2 is twice as long but, for me, far more interesting and kept my attention. Definitely more exciting scenes than book 1, and I’m looking forward to continuing the series. As with book 1, narration is fantastic

Good start to hopefully an even better series

Revisado: 11-05-23

I read countless raving reviews about this book/series so decided to give it a try! Some parts were slow to me and it was a challenge to keep up with the family tree at times, but overall this is a really interesting premise. I hope now that the scene is set that the remaining books in the series are more exciting. I felt much of the excitement didn’t come until final 2.5 hours or so. That being said, the narrator is EXCELLENT. One of the best I’ve heard on audible so far. I have high hopes for the rest of the book series so I’m going straight to the 2nd one now!

Go into it with no expectations

Revisado: 10-13-23

If you’re looking for a book version of the tv show, you will be disappointed. Going into this book, I knew it was much different than the series so I left my expectations at the door. It’s also not a “scary” horror book by 2023 standards. For it’s time, maybe. I’d categorize it as more psychological and a look inside the mind of the character from the original movie (no, not the Netflix show). Narrator did a great job. I felt the story itself could’ve used a bit more kick (such as more descriptive details) and found some of the dialogue lackluster- but again, this is an older book.

Couldn’t put it down

Revisado: 10-03-23

This is an eye opening, engaging and moving read. Paris is well spoken and does a great job narrating her story. This book had me experiencing a wide range of emotions. Her story is so heartbreaking, but the way she rose from the ashes like a Phoenix is beyond inspiring. I definitely recommend this memoir.

Lost me in the end

Revisado: 09-26-23

Very interesting premise! I enjoyed most of the book but it lost me in the final quarter or so. I honestly couldn’t sum up the ending for you perfectly because my attention kept fading. Narrator was just ok - didn’t really do different voices or change his tone when something scary happened. Sometimes I would lose my attention for a few seconds and not even realize he was reading something that was supposed to make your skin crawl. Wish the ending was different but I will say, much like another review, that since starting it I’ve been half expecting to see a witch standing in my own home! So maybe the book did get me after all.

Another good installment in the series

Revisado: 09-01-23

I love this series! I can barely put it down. The ending was fantastic and I almost want to start the next one right this minute. What a cliff hanger!

Couldn’t put it down!

Revisado: 08-09-23

I’m not usually a non fiction reader but oh my goodness this book was incredible. Natalie Haynes does a fantastic job of widening our understanding of these popular Greek stories to include the very women they either demonize or purposefully leave out of their own stories. I could not put this down. It was very educational and I’ve been raving about it to my mom nonstop. Haynes kept my interest throughout each chapter and I am thankful to have a different POV for each of these stories.

Entertaining read!

Revisado: 07-16-23

I enjoyed the previous two books more - maybe I felt this one was a bit slow or drawn out. But overall it’s a fun fantasy book continuing Sophie and Agatha’s story! I recommend this book

Just ok, very slow

Revisado: 06-06-23

I thought this story had a lot of potential but it really didn’t grab my attention till over 4 hours in - felt like really nothing happened before then. The narrator was ok but many of the characters sounded exactly the same. Story became somewhat predictable really fast and still, felt like not much happened to get to where we got in the end.
