Interesting Take on Captain Hook

Revisado: 04-01-25 El oyente recibió este título gratis

I listened to the Duet audiobook, and it was fantastic! I had a little bit of trouble getting into the story at first, but I think that was more based on the narrators accent than the story itself. That being said, the narrators chemistry and the way they made the characters come alive was wonderful to listen to. Once I got used to the accents, I was able to fully enjoy the book.

The story is a very interesting take on Captain Hook and his background. I know that as children we're supposed to see him as the bad guy of the Peter Pan story, but looking at his history and the experiences that may have led him to become that pirate captain that we know, is fascinating. The world that T.S. Kinley creates, and the story that is woven together, kept my attention and left me wanting more.

The idea of a rejected Lost Boy looking for revenge while finding both adventure and tragic love, along with the trauma of both what is written and implied of his childhood growing up at sea, and a bit of magic sprinkled in, really "hooked" me. There is some spice, and some scenes may be triggering to certain audiences, but everything did add to the story and wasn't just there as a novelty.

The story does end in a cliffhanger, and I definitely can't wait to see what happens next.

Hot, Spicy, with a satisfying ending

Revisado: 02-15-25 El oyente recibió este título gratis

This brand new audiobook by Berlin Wick is HOT. The writing and narrators combined create a delicious mix that made me absolutely enthralled.

The Secrets We Hide is a spicy MFM book centering around Elena, Jake, and Chris. Elena and Jake have been married for a few years and have found the best way to spice up their relationship and communicate their desires is by filling desire jars with ideas and notes then picking something from the other person's jar as a prize (usually for winning a bet). Jake has developed a desire to watch Elena with other men, but it's about her experiencing pleasure as much as him watching. The story revolves around the growing relationship between them, but it has twists and turns that you won't see coming.

There are so many fantastic scenes in this book, but the story as a whole is also just captivating. The writing and narration combined were able to create emotional reactions in me to the point that I was reaching out to friends to vent about the book, a specific character, and the author in general. There were moments of unexpected, but welcome, humor mixed in with a combination of spice, an interesting plot, and relatable characters. The narrators seemed to have real chemistry, which was very pleasing to listen to and added to my enjoyment of this audiobook.

Overall, I really liked listening to this story. I found myself gasping, laughing, and really getting into what I was hearing (not just in that way). I've already recommended it to a few friends, and will look forward to more from this author.

I received a free copy of this audiobook in exchange for my honest review.

So Good!

Revisado: 10-27-24

Elle Thorpe is an amazing author but the audio really makes the story come alive! The use of so many voice actors really brings the story to another level. The cliffhanger is killer, but that's common for this author. I definitely would recommend this story and pretty much anything by this author!
