Mountain YaYa

Entertaining plot but production issue.

Revisado: 02-17-22

The story captivated me. I really like the narrator but it wasn't a clean recording. There was static at the beginning of each chapter and the recording skipped back 5-10 seconds and repeated itself multiple times. Does anyone ever listen to these recording all the way through before offering them for sale?

Switching narrators spoiled continuity

Revisado: 05-16-21

The new voice of Noreen and Nan just didn't work. Nan sounded like a querous old lady in the new voice. Her fun loving spirit was lost in the new narration. The story was good but I was very disappointed with the change of narrators. I hope the original returns with the next book.

Also there were two places where the chapters were reversed towards the end. It was very disconcerting to listen to them out of order. At least I had the Kindle book to go back to so I could figure out what was happening.

This book will stay with you long after you've come to the end.

Revisado: 02-14-21

I listened to the audiobook. The voice of the narrator was perfect for the voices of the women living in tobacco country on a North Carolina plantation in the post depression South. The characters are fully developed human beings whose interactions through the generations are beautiful, loving, tragic, and ultimately the foundation on which four generations are bound and healed. It is a poignant story as much about race in the changing South as the family living during those changes. Resilience, love, sacrifice, facing the horrific moments of the past, with it's ultimate understanding, gratitude, and integration of four generations of Peak Plantation women make for a story impossible to put down. For two days I lived in this book unable to think of anything except the inhabitants of Peak Plantation.

Worth it!

Revisado: 12-02-20

For the first thirty or so minutes I thought if this doesn’t get better soon it’s not worth it. It did and it was so worth it. I came to love the strong characters, the loving and supportive community that grew around Liz as she reclaimed herself by saying yes to life for the first time in 30 years. In the process she slowly sheds the encasement of expectations and judgement she has been trapped in, finding her voice and charting her new path. So worth it!!!

One of Nora Robert's Best

Revisado: 11-19-20

I was cauggt from the first page. laVey's narrative was top notch. Her accents and the different voices for each character made it easy to follow the story. It was full of engaging characters who were fully fleshed out. The overriding theme was family, small town fierceness in taking care of one of their own and refusing to let evil win. The women were fearless , strong, intelligent. The men were strong, kind, and committed to family. I wished I could live in that small mountain town in the Tennessee Smokies.

bleak hopeless story abt a needlessly stolen life

Revisado: 08-28-20

Narrator overacted. I made it through, but I wish I hadn't started the book. I would not recommend it.

Nice light listen

Revisado: 05-18-20

The story told was entertaining. It's typical of the Harlequin formula, sweet and definitely not deep. I did enjoy the story but ultimately it's a forgettable one. If I had realized it was a Harlequin I don't think a would have spent an Audible credit for it though.

Each sequel gets more graphic in the killings.

Revisado: 04-29-20

I’ve enjoyed the series and pushed through my aversion to the graph violence. That said, this will be the last one for me as each gets more graphic with increasing numbers of sadistic murders than the last. They are just too disturbing. Pierce could write just as compelling thriller with a lot less glee in the killings.

Weird

Revisado: 03-31-20

Confusing and without any real point. The best I can say for it is two life forms may have connected, maybe?
