Historia
Charley is a cleaner by day and a professional gambler by night. She might be haunted by her tragic past but she's never thought of herself as anything or anyone special. Until, that is, things start to go terribly wrong all across the city of Manchester. Between plagues of rats, firestorms, and the gleaming blue eyes of a sexy Scottish werewolf, she might just have landed herself in the middle of a magical apocalypse. She might also be the only person who has the ability to bring order to an utterly chaotic new world.

Frustrating
Revisado: 12-26-24
Although some of her characters go too far with the pacifist, non-violence, love thy neighbor stance for the FMC, I typically like Helen Harper’s books; however, this one was just infuriating. The FMC was so self-important, narcissistic, naive, and just plain stupid that I was truly hoping she would die and Monroe would be the main character for the next two books in the series. Since she made it out alive, I will not be listening to the next two books in the series. I couldn’t wait for this book to end.

Historia
I've made some pretty questionable choices in my life—dabbling in necromancy, double-crossing vampires—but summoning the dark goddess to save my sisters? That was just plain stupid. Now I’m in her debt, and goddesses don’t exactly do payment plans. She wants the blood of the dark fae warlord of Midnight, a realm of exiles where the sun never rises and torture is a competitive sport. It’s a death trap only three men have ever escaped—my newly appointed escorts.

I love this spin off from The Witch’s Rebels, following Haley’s journey into her life in a new world, discovering love and lust with three irresistible and insatiable monsters, reigniting an old flame, and discovering her true power. I just finished the last book in The Witch’s Monsters and think it was even better than the original Rebels series. It was steamy and sexy with an outstanding story, and amazing narrators.
And Jax, that voice, holy hell… I’d love him to read me a bedtime story every night of the week, though I’m not sure we’d be getting much sleep after being enthralled by his insanely sexy cadence; the narrator who gave voice to his character was absolutely beyond reproach.
My only complaint would be that the books were a bit short and could have been combined into two or maybe three total books. Luckily, two of them were on sale, but I had to spend two full credits on the others. However, I immediately bought the first after finishing The Witch’s Rebels because I was so drawn into the unique universe the author created. And after the first book of this series, I was completely hooked and binged all four in three days!
I highly recommend this series if you want to be drawn into another world with a unique plot, a strong female MC, witty dialogue, steamy & downright dirty lust, and a little romance.

Engaging & Unique
Revisado: 08-16-24
The story was interesting and kept my attention. I appreciated the author’s creativity and writing, and the twists he imparted into his work. Parts of the story were extremely creepy, but I would not describe it as scary. There were some elements of The Picture of Dorian Gray along with some aspects reminiscent of The Ring, but the book was unique in its own right.
While the virtual voice narration is not ideal and lacked inflection and nuance, it was not as grating as some other books I have listened to. I would rate the narration a 2, but as there are only two reviews, I did not want to bring down the average rating and potentially discourage others from an enjoyable story. If an actual person narrated this book, I believe its popularity would quickly gain traction.

I listened as part of the audible plus catalog and was happy I took a chance on it even though there were no reviews. Typical but enjoyable zompoc with a good cast of characters and great narration. If you’re looking for an easy listen and light entertainment, give it a go!

Historia
There's an underground black market for arcane things. Akin to the trade in rhino horns or tiger bones, this network traffics in remains of gryphons, faeries, goblins, and other fantastic creatures. When her fiance Vince goes missing, Angela Gough, an American criminology student, discovers he was a part of this secretive trade. It's a big-money business-shadowy, brutal, and sometimes fatal. As the trail leads her deeper into London's dark side, she crosses paths with a crime lord whose life is dedicated to collecting such relics.

Original story; disliked narrator
Revisado: 05-01-24
I really enjoyed the story, most of the characters and the originality, but I found the narrator grating and, quite frankly, pretty terrible. Her accents were odd, at best, and it really took away from my enjoyment of the audiobook. The main character was a Bostonian (oftentimes overwhelmingly whiny and woe-is-me) portrayed with an extremely bizarre sort of Texan/Californian/English as a second language accent.

I agree that this should be made into a movie. I thought it was fantastic, although it wrapped up a bit too quickly at the end. Scary, interesting and unique.

This Psych 312 assignment just might send me off the deep end. Determining whether love at first sight really exists with Robbie Moravian as my project partner of all people? He’s the sappiest man alive, so upbeat I could scream, and clearly rooting for happy endings at every turn. How does he not learn from experience considering our own meet-cute last semester almost got us expelled? But we both need to pass this course to graduate. So we’re interviewing five random couples about their meet-cutes and relationships and spending all this time together. Which is certainly...educational.

Fantastic narration. Cute and unique approach to a romantic comedy. I listened to it on a long car ride and even slowed down so I could finish it in one sitting. Not my typical preferred genre, but this is one of my favorite audible listens of all time.

Cute and funny, though sometimes Ash’s obsessive thoughts and constant whining grates on my nerves. Narrator does a good job with the exception of accents. I think the books are getting progressively better!

Revisado: 12-08-23
It’s hard to have a narrator change after several books. While Mr. Waters was a good narrator, I don’t feel he had the same snark and depth of emotion portrayed in the previous books and it really affected the flow of the story. Also, the story was a bit hard to follow as it jumped around quite a bit and nothing much was accomplished. Though enjoyable, it kind of seemed like a placeholder book; however, I still look forward to the next in the series.

Since the 1970s, FantasticLand has been the theme park where "Fun is Guaranteed!" But when a hurricane ravages the Florida coast and isolates the park, the employees find it anything but fun. Five weeks later, the authorities who rescue the survivors encounter a scene of horror. Photos soon emerge online of heads on spikes outside of rides and viscera and human bones littering the gift shops, breaking records for hits, views, likes, clicks, and shares.
