Needs to be tagged religious fiction

Revisado: 02-21-23

I wish books like these were tagged as religious fiction. Not what I was looking for. Summary doesn't mention it at all. Couldn't make it to the end.

Confusing/trying too hard

Revisado: 03-13-21

This book was a bit all over the place. Time travel, ghost story, murder mystery, erotic romance....some parts kept my interest while others were less entertaining. The narrator did a nice job. Overall, this book was like buying the off brand version of Outlander.

Boring

Revisado: 03-05-21

I love historical fiction novels, but this one did not hold my attention at all. The narration was well done though.

I'm on chapter 29, should I keep listening?

Revisado: 10-22-20

The narration and POV shifts keep me engaged, but the dark and macabre nature of the characters make none of them likeable. Not a fan of the detailed blood/death scenes...supposed I was looking for more of a mystery/thriller and less of a horror/depressing story.

Wow!

Revisado: 09-08-20

So unexpected! I came across this book in my free Audible picks and I'm so glad that I chose it. It's not the typical genre I go for and I listened to the first chapter while doing the dishes or laundry - not paying much attention and just letting it play in the background. By chapter 2, I was hooked and stayed up into the night listening. The author created a strong and likable main character with supporting characters who fit into her story like pieces of a puzzle. The author's word choices and descriptive narration made this story fly off the pages and play like a movie as I listened. I highly recommend!!!

Couldn't finish - story of a dependant/whiny woman

Revisado: 05-25-20

I stopped actively listening around chapter 5 and struggled on, determined to finish. I admitted defeat by chapter 9 after letting the audio play while I washed dishes and scrolled Facebook as those tasks provided more entertainment than this book. If you are looking for a memior or a 'life lessons' essay instead of a book about travel, then this might be for you. If, like me, you are seeking an account of travel stories/descriptions of places, then this is NOT it. It reads more like a compilation of this woman's worst qualities/life experiences as she puts herself down and glorifies her husband through a whiny and trying-too-hard-to-be-witty narration. I kept telling myself to just get through it, that I might take something valuable away from this book by the end even though it wasn't what I was looking for....but I couldn't. Instaed, I just felt annoyed. Perhaps my expectations were too high. I was hoping for the story of a strong female on an independent journey through travel/life, but ended up with a rambling account of this woman's family and their mishaps penned by a seemingly highly-strung, dependant wife who overuses the word "inexplicably." Maybe it's exactly what you're looking for, but for me it was NOT.

I found it boring.

Revisado: 04-09-20

While the performances were well done, the story did not hold my interest. I stuck it out and finished it, but felt relief when it was finally over.

Enjoyable escape

Revisado: 02-05-20

I enjoyed nearly every aspect. Well written with the effect of creating a 'little movie' in my head as I listened. The narrator's accents for each character created added to the vividness without being forced or over the top. I saw each character as I listened. The story is somewhat reminiscent of Outlander, but held it's own in the way of originality. Would definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys a good story full of history and time travel!
