The story is incredibly engaging. There are some repetitive thoughts within the heroine and she is naive which does grow into strength and it moves the story forward. There is plenty of scenery woven into the adventure each book building on the next. It’s a loving story.

A fun short novella listen that is as sweet as it is romantic, the love happens quickly but is the type of love I desire for myself.

This novel has multiple plot twists which give it a depth I had been hoping for. Siblings can get stuck in their ways and learn to play their role in order to best keep the peace. The Finch sisters are trying to maintain their tense status quo when a past hurt shows up in person. Then not breathing. There is a series of keystone cop like antics and a lot of self loathing and displaced hostilities that usually simmers on the back burner but is now under a high fire. I want impressed by harsh nor the quirky family dynamics. It isn’t until the latest chapters that ‘ride or lie’ becomes a reality for the family to bond over. I did love the twists as I hadn’t picked up on any clues to lead me there so the reveals were incredibly refreshing.

In this day and age sarcasm is on everyone’s lips but no one can reach the level of The Harker Contingent, Dennis The IT Menace is probably one of the easiest characters that sets the board so he can give as good as he gets, Beks and Luc don’t hit as often but when they do it’s for the TKO. They do not hold their punches. When encountering the Arches I find their human barbs are based on misunderstanding of human nature but once they gain their footing they are damn cute, in their Celestial form they bring Harker’s arrogance to shame and Harker gets a lot of barbs that barely scratch the surface but entertained me for pages at a time. Harker seems to bring out the worst in everyone he encounters and for me this was an incredible find because from the first paragraph I was truly laughing out loud. I listened in my car, I listened to go to bed, I showered and hit play and walked around everywhere with my headphone in one ear cackling like a loony toon letting my happy off the leash. So I’m grateful that Audible recommended the two part box set to be the theme music for my life.

The humor was laugh outloud. Lots of sarcasm, cursing and general insults. This is kind of like chick lit with a male hero. His first instinct is to shoot and figure it out later. The more people who need him or he has to save he begins collecting meaningful friendships. These novellas are short and end in a way that I find satisfactory but I’m glad I got the Omnibus books 1-3 & I’ve got the next 3. The voice sounds to me like a cousin of Nick Cage so I was easily pulled in.

The reviews (similar to Odd Thomas) got me to search the title. Free audible offer got my hands on it.
I was disappointed on both fronts. The narration is terrible and perhaps ruined whatever Odd Thomas associations that might exist. Odd was a dry wit humor type of guy. His deadpan observations very in line with my own. His anti-hero reluctance felt honest.
Quinn felt much younger. Odd always appeared to have his gifts while Quinn’s had just awoken. Though they share psychic magnetism that’s it. Quinn’s team of psychic’s seem very haughty almost condescending. They don’t offer him true guidance therefore as the reader I’m left confused and frustrated. I felt a kinship with Oddie from the first words. His whole humble fry cook lifestyle lent a great deal to having a home base to return to and following his supernatural gifts. Quinn is on a very haphazard quest that boggles the mind. He squarely lands himself in hotspots without having any real sense of his gift. When he encounters others with these powers they all seem to work very differently and can’t offer much explanation that I followed. I may have to read this novel to see if that improves my enjoyment. But as it stands he is not like the Odd I’ve enjoyed.

I’ve only listed to three audio books and I admit that with this series it was the better option. As I read the story I felt my anxiety rise with each word. Listening to the book gave me some mental distance. Hearing the calm tenor of the performer allowed me to see a slightly different scene in my head than the much more morbid version my inner voice had created. It made the story much less cerebral and more like a stage play reading.
It was definitely a gripping story without my added mental gymnastics and just the novel characterizations laid out before me.
