Loved the story, but wished I'd read it.

Revisado: 07-09-20

I loved the book. Funny. Honest. A couple to root for.
BUT I hated listening to it. The male narrator was great with the main character, but his treatment of the heroine and everyone else was horrible. His best friend seemed like a dog. The heroine a whiney baby. His brother an 80 year old WASP. The ethnic characters sounded unintelligent. It really took me out of the story.
I don't think I'll ever listen to a book with this narrator again.

Loved this new series!

Revisado: 12-09-19

Another great series from Lanyon. Good twisty mystery/suspense with m/m romance that’s realistic.

Fun sequel

Revisado: 11-27-18

Nice follow up to the gentleman's guide to vice and virtue - funny - historical romp. Preferred the original slightly but would definitely read further adventures.

Satisfying ending to a solid series

Revisado: 01-27-18

MIchael gets his story - the mystery gets its conclusion AND you get a summary of where all the main characters end up. Warning - This series has explicit sex.

DNF not for me

Revisado: 01-15-18

I was bored and annoyed and bored by this. I slogged thru first 4 chapters & then acted on my NEw Years resolution to DNF books that aren't for me . No more dutiful death marches to end of an unfulfilling book.
Took too long to get going. I didn't want to spend another second with the character who narrated the early chapters. It wasn't funny or charming or endearing. So I bailed.

Nice YA Caper

Revisado: 01-13-18

Any additional comments?

This was a good YA tale based on classic yarns like Prisoner of Zenda except with a teenage hero. It was a little too long and since it was translated many of the names were hard to absorb/follow but I would recommend a listen based on the good narration and story.

Romantic thriller

Revisado: 01-09-18

This is a romantic thriller with two heroes. Good charecters- adult romance - thrilling mystery. First book in a series - I started second right away.

Good story marred by poor read

Revisado: 01-08-18

I liked the story and characters a lot. But the narration was really poor. There were multiple glitches which I've never heard in an audible title before.
Shame.

Conflicted

Revisado: 05-11-17

What did you love best about In the Woods?

Loved all the detectives. Liked the ambiguousness of the story.

What did you like best about this story?

I liked that nothing was tied up. That's how life really is.

What does Steven Crossley bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I enjoyed his narration a lot - I just think I should have read THIS book. The pace as a listen was too deliberate. I wished I had the book so I could speed read thru a lot of it. It's not narrator's fault that the story as written is so deliberately.

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

Nope. This just wasn't an optimal audio book for me. The pacing is very deliberate and I found myself drifting off and having to listen again. I think it took me almost 8 additional hours to listen to the book.

Any additional comments?

I'm really conflicted b/c I really liked the book. I just think that as written it isn't the optimal "listen" for me. I went out and purchased the actual paperbacks of books 2-5 immediately after finishing so I liked the book. I just found myself annoyed by the pace of the story as an audiobook in a way that I think I could have read faster or skipped entirely in a book. I found myself impatiently waiting for something to happen over and over. This just wasn't the best audiobook choice for me. I thought the narrator was a little too mature for the hero, I kept picturing derek jacobi...
