An amazing sequel to The Vine Witch

Revisado: 11-15-20

An amazing sequel to The Vine Witch, yet it does stand on its own two feet. This is a wild ride through the under side of Paris from the catacombs to the secret underground spirit world. What a fun and edge of your seat story. Author Luanne G. Smith definitely entertains with this novel of the dark arts. A must read for wine , witch and wonder lovers.

Wonderful Witchy Work of Art

Revisado: 11-22-19

A delightful listen. The story is creative and captivating. A fairytale, a murder mystery and a love story all rolled into one with a glass of wine to go with it.

The author brought the world she created to life in my mind. I felt like I was there viewing everything from the shadow world. The descriptions were so vivid.

Too bad I listened in my car while driving and therefore could not enjoy a glass of wine while enjoying the story.

I think this story will be around to entertain generations of audible listeners.

So very funny

Revisado: 09-20-19

I read David Goggins book Can’t Hurt Me first and had a sneaking suspicion that the seal referred to in this book may be David so I read it. It was an incredibly fun and entertaining story. As it turns out Goggins was the Seal. If you read this book please read David Goggins book first. Between the two books you’ll cry, you’ll laugh and then you will get up off your MF ass and do something with you life!

Amazing Story

Revisado: 06-14-19

David Goggins' life story is nothing short of amazing. I actually cried during many parts of this audio book while driving home from work. But not all tears were sad. Some were just from the overwhelming idea of what this man accomplished, to date.

And you know, even though I grew up as a middle class white girl in Colorado, I could relate to a lot of what David shared. I think that is one of the strengths of this book. On some level, most people can relate. That is why this book is so inspirational. It also makes you hold up a mirror to yourself and ask, "Can I do better? Yes, I can."

I highly recommend this book. Just be prepared for some bad language. Now I talk like a sailor.

Captivating Story

Revisado: 01-06-19

I really enjoyed this novel. It is a well told story, interweaving WWI and WWII, the two women's lives and with espionage, romance and vengeance. Lovely.

About Half Way Through

Revisado: 06-22-18

Normally, I reserve my criticism of a book until I finish it. Many books start slow, are okay in the middle and then end wonderfully. This book may end wonderfully, but so far, I don't care for it much.

The narrator has a flippant and superior attitude in her voice. The book is written by people who come off as superior to the French and therefore entitled to criticize the French in a demeaning way. Maybe most non French people find this amusing. I do not.

Having been to France several times and considering retiring in France, I have found French people to be little like the people described in this book.

I'll painfully finish listening to it. So far I can't recommend it.

Barely Likable

Revisado: 03-30-18

The information in the book was good. The performance was terrible. The narrator's voice was so unlikable that I could barely get through this. Maybe it was a joke? You know, have a guy with a very annoying voice read a book about likability. LOL. Oh well, I made it through.

Wonderful Story

Revisado: 10-15-17

I have read many books about women in the French resistance and books about WWII. This is one of the best told stories of two very brave young sisters. The performance is very well done. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in WWII. I will be buying hard copies of the book as Christmas gifts.

Haunting, Chilling, Must Read

Revisado: 06-30-17

Would you consider the audio edition of Ravensbruck to be better than the print version?

I didn't read the print version

Who was your favorite character and why?

Numerous people's stories

Which scene was your favorite?

I can't choose one

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Yes. I will never look at life the same. The horror and torments the women of Ravensbruck had to endure in hopes of surviving, until liberated, is deplorable. I will never have a bad day again where I don't think of these poor souls. My worst days are better than their best days by far. I will be grateful for each and every day of my wonderful life. It is unfathomable the horrors committed by the Nazis. I can't even find the words. This book should be required reading for all.
