Nell is a rookie PsyLED agent, using the powers she can channel from deep within the earth to solve paranormal crimes. Nell is called to the Tennessee mansion of a country music star and finds a disturbing scene - dead bodies rapidly decaying before everyone's eyes. The witch on her team, T. Laine, has never seen magic that can steal life forces like this. PsyLED needs to find this lethal killer fast. But when a paranormal-hating FBI agent tries to derail the investigation and the dark magics begin to spiral out of control, they find themselves under attack from all sides.

Great addition to a wonderful series
Revisado: 07-06-24
Faith Hunter is talented at both world building and character development. It's hard to wait for the next book in any of her series. This spinoff of the Jane Yellowrock series is fully developed and enjoyable.

Language defines us as a species, placing humans head and shoulders above even the most proficient animal communicators. But it also beguiles us with its endless mysteries, allowing us to ponder why different languages emerged, why there isn't simply a single language, how languages change over time and whether that's good or bad, and how languages die out and become extinct.

Fascinating Listen

John McWhorter presented a fascinating course. The material was well organized and engaging. I was thrilled to see that he has six more titles available on Audible. I plan to buy them all.

Young Lerris is dissatisfied with his life and trade, and yearns to find a place in the world better suited to his skills and temperament. But in Recluce a change in circumstances means taking one of two options: permanent exile from Recluce or braving the dangergeld, a complex, rule-laden wanderjahr in the lands beyond Recluce, with the aim of learning how the world works and what his place in it might be. Many do not survive. Lerris chooses the dangergeld.

Distracting sound effects
Revisado: 02-01-15
Would you consider the audio edition of The Magic of Recluce to be better than the print version?
I don't have the print version, but I would imagine that not having to hear the sound effects would be a vast improvement.
If you’ve listened to books by L. E. Modesitt Jr. before, how does this one compare?
Modesitt had apparently outgrown the tendency to insert written sound effects by the time he wrote the Imager Portfolio series. The constant "clop clop," "splat," "pow"... in this reminded me of childhood comic books. While I would recommend the Imager series to anyone I will probably not be finishing this series, unfortunately I've already bought two more of the series on a sale. I'll give one of the later ones a listen to see if he quit including the gratuitous sound effects.
Any additional comments?
While the story was basically enjoyable the sound effects I mentioned earlier in my review cut my rating from 4 stars to 3.

Being a goddess is a lot less fun than you might think. Especially when you're only a half goddess, you only found out about it recently, and you still don't know what you're doing half the time. And when you've just used your not-so-reliable powers to burglarize the booby-trapped office of a vampire mob boss. Yeah, that part sucks. But that's just the tip of the iceberg for Cassandra Palmer, aka the Pythia, the freshly minted chief seer of the supernatural world.

New narrators should listen to previous books.
Revisado: 11-28-13
Would you listen to Tempt the Stars again? Why?
No, I was constantly irritated by quirks in the narration.
What did you like best about this story?
I was glad that we got to know Pritkin better and enjoyed the concept that Earth is one of the "lesser hells."
How could the performance have been better?
I'm sure it's a difficult task to come into a series on book number 6, but surely Allyson Ryan could have taken the time to listen to one or two of the previous books. The loss of Billy's accent and the pronunciation of Pritkin's father's name Rosier (I'm unsure of the spelling since I've not read print on any of these books) almost ruined the book for me. A few other awkward pronunciations also grated on my nerves as well as the intermittent choice of shrieking/squealing some of Cassie's responses during fight scenes.
The publishers should try their best to get Cynthia Holloway back. I think that for book 7 I'll go with the printed version if we keep Allyson Ryan as the narrator.
