AW is not a one hit wonder!

Revisado: 03-22-25

Can’t wait for the arrival of the next book in the series to be released in Audible. AW is gifted with her mix of MM dramatic/comedic characters. In this series, detectives Liam and Gabriel are a perfect blend of paradoxical personalities. Liam, a serial avenger who hates all humans with only one exception. Gabriel, the childlike adult detective in the room struggles with the world as he believes it should be, plays by the rules, and one of the few on the force who can who tolerate Liam.
AW weaves her story beautifully around the two main characters. Voice narrator, Greg Boudreaux is first and foremost…a great actor. Winters/Boudreaux = great story + great story teller.
You don’t want to miss this one.

Superbly most excellent, dudes.

Great story. Not one wasted or frivolous word. I’ll be reading/listening to the rest of the series. Voice acting was brilliant and thrilling. I loved the characters. You will too.

Of the 325 titles I’ve listened too, this is in the top 5%.

Revisado: 01-16-25

Didn’t realize I had listened to this before. I’m sure I liked it on the first go round but this renewed look…blew me away. Amazing story telling and story.
When Kurt Graves is narrating I’m gonna listen. There are a few narrators who are professional actors of considerable career notoriety. Ed Reed comes to mind and a few others. Kurt Graves, though not an actor, clearly knows how to act. Brilliant performance by Kurt.

You’re My Home says Zach to Brady

Revisado: 07-27-24

I get a little self conscious when trying to review something as well written as you’re my home. There was not
One wasted word in the story in which two young kids, Zach, from a horribly cold and abusive home and Brady, the brave and sensitive football star who vows to protect and “ love” his best buddy forever. Zach is gay, Brady is not…but it doesn’t stop him from loving him and keeping him out of harms way. The accompanying cast of characters, along with a few villainous types make “you’re my home” something I will never forget.

Audible is richer than the doc but both are good I was

Revisado: 04-17-24

I just can’t get enough. I was watching the Dynasty series then saw the author being interviewed on the Colin Cowart show. The author also wrote the doc. Great book. Great series.

I feel your pain

Revisado: 02-16-24

Said…Bill Clinton. I don’t know if that was true, that he actually felt our pain. Doesn’t so much matter. I did feel Colton’s pain, and his confusion and desperate need to feel liked or loved. I also felt awkwardly uncomfortable when Colton shared all of the details of
his sexual journeys including the side trips that a less brave writer might take a pass on. It reminded me of David Sedaris last book in which he too was completely confessional about his family introspections with a father who was boorishly sexually over preoccupied with his daughters.
Colton is as raw and emotionally vulnerable about his chaotic sexualization from early childhood on when he is prematurely sexualized by male relatives and acquaintances which is all made so easy because of his stunning good looks. I’m so impressed with the brutal honesty and self revelations that authors like Colton Haynes and David Sedaris so similarly
Venture into. For a young man struggling to reveal his truer-sensitive self, I’d say that he’s well on the way when he lets his inside voice come out.
I think that the puzzling parts of his search for identity must be more clear to him now as he can add “author”
along with actor and a son ,who was very much loved by his mother as he is also loved by his great collection of friends. Keep up the good work, Colton. You’re a star in more than one way.

And Now, on to Book # 2 Spooky Boys

Revisado: 12-31-23

I’ve listened to hundreds of audible books and this title jumps into my top 5 for “Best writing and character development” …best narrative acting ( two narrators) …best story line…best keep you on the edge of your seat right to the very end…most original non- formulaic, non- predictable plot lines…
most skillful, masterful, thematic intertwining of the main characters effort to escape from traumatic childhood abuse and the fantastical mix of “other worldly” supporting cast of characters that include a rescue cat, and vampiric families and family leaders who abide by a communal code of ethics, so to speak.
Wonderful book that is a “ must read/must listen” 5 star reviewed delight. Trust the reviews.

The Story Line

Revisado: 12-17-23

In the opening pages, the young “ Nicho”, the main character, is identified as the young son who is predisposed for an innate telling of the truth. To his teacher who asks a question from the previous nights reading assignment…”I don’t know the answer because I didn’t do the reading”…is his unfiltered answer. Nicho is known by everyone to be the boy who never lies and always tells the truth; that is his reputation. When the Nazis invade Greece and occupy the town with the highest concentration of Jews (his town), they have a job for young Nicho that forever changes his life. I loved the Agatha Christy-like layers to this book. Only the horror is predictable, the story line is not.

Everything I thought it would be

Hail to the Thief meets the beat down that he never saw coming but has long deserved. Orange Jesus meets his worst nightmare and she won’t be done until he takes his rightful place back into the underworld from whence he came.
