Narration is choppy and distracting

Both the male and female narrators take these weird pauses mid sentence. It became too distracting to enjoy and finish. It’s unfortunate because the male narrator did a great job of differentiating all the male voices, but it reminded me of William Shatner levels of choppy. I had to switch to the digital version of the book to finish the story.

This story is set within the Devil’s Dozen world as the other series by this author, but it’s not as good.

The narrators were fine, but the main characters were just young and slightly dumb. The MFC was stubborn about stupid things in the first two books she came off as petulant. In later books, she made so many obvious errors in judgement that it is truly hard to believe she wasn’t killed off by the bad guys.

I get the MMCs are still in college, but their immaturity was handled by alluding to issues from their childhoods, but never actually explained or addressed. Overall, I stopped listening a few times just because I was annoyed and didn’t care anymore, but not horrible enough to DNF.

This is my second series from this author and narrator, and I really enjoy both. The series has well rounded characters and the performance is great. For such a huge cast, each character is distinct and none fall into the annoying category. I will say the narration style for Darby is very much inner monologue and full of inflections and those exaggerations we all think but really say aloud. I found it hilarious and delightful, some may not.

Overall the story isn’t bad, just has a lot of elements that annoy me personally. The MFC makes A LOT of stupid choices. Like watching the dumb girl go investigate the sound in a slasher flick dumb. But if she didn’t do those things, the plot wouldn’t advance.
Outside of that I also dislike the word choice used for the spicy scenes. I’m just not a fan of channel, secret spot, and bundle of nerves as euphemisms.
The characters are all well done and interesting in their own right and the voices are done well to distinguish all of them. The plot is a bit predictable but not boring.
Overall, it’s not a bad story and the things that knocked down stars for me may not bother other readers.

Story was fine, a little slow. I never really became invested in the MMC. Plot leans into the miscommunication trope, which I’m not a fan of. It wasn’t “bad” it was just ok.

It is common for a series to become predictable or to make characters unlikable etc as it goes on, but Sherry Thomas does a great job of avoiding these pitfalls so far.
I love how even the side characters are also given more and more depth with each story. The main mystery of each book is intriguing, even though I’ve listened to the whole series before and know the general outline of the plot. The attention to detail and how each mystery is solved and connected back to the overarching issues is still fun, even as I’m listening for a third time. Highly recommend to anyone.

I have listened to this entire series all the way through twice, and have decided to go through them all again before listening to the 7th book that was released recently.
The plot is intriguing, all the characters are well rounded and realistic, and the narrator does an excellent job with all of the different voices, even the male ones.

I get that the MFC is only 21, but she acts very immature. She admits she ignorant about the magical community due to her family situation, but she never once stops to think that maybe she should learn more before acting on her limited knowledge or making assumptions. Also, they behave like phones aren’t a thing. So many instances wouldn’t have happened if they’d just called and gave the information instead of doing it in person, putting themselves and others in danger. Overall, I had to force myself to finish it.

Also, the ending is super abrupt with no resolution to the multiple side characters. The premise is good, and I was stupid enough to buy the whole series when it was on sale, so here’s hoping it gets better.

No real issues with the voice actor. They were fine.

The story was good for the fake dating trope and entertaining for a couple of hours. My only real complaint is the male narrator. His performance was inconsistent. Great in some chapters, but rushed and flat in others. Came off as someone reading versus hearing someone speak or think.

A fascinating behind the scenes look at the reporting and the aftermath of the Weinstein article. This reads a like fiction and is extremely entertaining, horrifying, and captivating.
