Historia
In the spring of 2020, Lara’s three daughters return to the family's orchard in Northern Michigan. While picking cherries, they beg their mother to tell them the story of Peter Duke, a famous actor with whom she shared both a stage and a romance years before at a theater company called Tom Lake. As Lara recalls the past, her daughters examine their own lives and relationship with their mother, and are forced to reconsider the world and everything they thought they knew.

So incredibly boring

- A Novel
- De: Ann Patchett
- Narrado por: Meryl Streep
Without a doubt, the best audio book I’ve ever listened to.
Revisado: 03-22-25
This was the first time I’ve read anything by Ann Patchett but I am familiar with her work. I am so glad this was my introduction because first impressions are important and this was a 5 star first meet.
I cannot emphasize enough that having the iconic Meryl Streep narrate made this 5 star book a 10 star audiobook. She read this story like she wrote each and every word herself.
Tom Lake will appeal to so many readers but there will be a certain demographic that will see the deeper meaning. Lara Nelson is 57 yr old with 3 grown daughters. Her life, her choices, her happiness, her heartbreaks and her past, present and future are things many women, like myself, can identify with.
I won’t write any spoilers because the listener should experience this story for themselves. Suffice to say this book will be my top read for 2025. Maybe something else will come along and dazzle me more, but it’s unlikely.
Listening to Ms. Streep embody Lara left me breathless. I would LITERALLY forget where I was and what I was doing because I was so immersed.
I live in Michigan and I am very familiar with the beauty of Traverse City and Ms. Patchett captured the very essence of why our state is truly beautiful. Thank you for that.
I won’t forget this book or its lessons.

Revisado: 03-05-25
This was, at times, very hard to listen to. I remember watching the towers fall. Seeing the second plane crash into the WTC and the ppl jumping to their death. You just don’t ever forget that kind of stuff.
I cannot imagine the toll this took on first responders, the FBI and law enforcement. It changed our country forever.
This was so emotional and heartfelt and Audible does such a great job with their exclusive content.

Revisado: 02-19-25
Say what you want but Audible puts out the best Audible original content and this was incredible.
I’ve been fascinated by the Unabomber case for years. The fact that he managed to elude capture for so long and left no physical evidence was amazing.
The unbelievable tenacity and teamwork behind the UTF was told so thoroughly and with such detail and this is what I loved about this Audible original telling.
I also appreciated the inclusion of the victims stories and the impact that this event had on their lives. It was especially poignant hearing it in their own words and their bravery in recounting the worst event in their lives was nothing short of heroic.
Great job Audible and a profound thank you to every person involved in making this.

Less tech and more magic
Revisado: 09-24-24
Every book brings something new to the table and this one is no different. We get a deep dive into Were, Athanate and Adept magic systems with this book. I love that this book allowed a bigger step back from Amber’s military training and reliance on the tech to get things done and focused on her finally exercising her paranormal abilities.
We get introduced to more new characters and how they fit into Amber’s life and her story. We get to see Tullah’s progress as Amber’s assistant and her own paranormal abilities as an Adept with a dragon spirit guide. More time with her dragon in this book was exciting.
I felt like this story was more personal for Amber and nothing like disobeying everyone’s orders and going on a road trip to get the party started.
I am constantly pleased and amazed at how fresh and unique every book has been in this series. Mr. Henwick is one of the best storytellers I’ve come across in years.

Best book yet
Revisado: 09-03-24
I have absolutely loved every book thus far in this series. But this third one is the best one yet. It’s so full of action and plot and deeper character development that I feel like I need a vacation after finishing it.
There are so many different characters and story lines and many writers have trouble managing all of them but not this writer. He juggles every new introduction of a character and every new peripheral story line with ease. He ties up every loose end, excluding ones that might pop up in future books. Nothing feels rushed or weak.
I love these books so much that I buy the physical copy after I’ve listened to them here. My apologies for not remembering the narrator’s name but she is a huge reason I insist on listening to the books first. She is one of the best narrators I’ve encountered in all the years I’ve listened to stories on this platform .

Loved this narrator
Revisado: 07-30-24
I wish I could give this book more than 5 stars. This character and this series is utter perfection. I desperately love urban fantasy. Kim Harrison, Laurell K. Hamilton and Rachel Aaron are just a few of my favorites.
Mark Henwick creates the most interesting, gripping, tense storylines. Everything feels fresh and once I start listening I am immediately transported away.
We get a great deep dive into Amber Farrell’s life, her past and her future with this book. Mr. Henwick gives as much love and attention to the secondary characters as he does Amber.
The action is gritty and tense and he is the master of suspenseful writing when it comes to the politics being played out in Amber’s life.
I purposely do not give out spoilers or reiterate the synopsis of the story so sorry to those who want hints at what makes this a 5 star read for me.
Masterfully written, exciting story, equally character and plot based and just exciting from the first word to the last.

Great urban fantasy
Revisado: 06-26-24
Urban fantasy is my favorite genre and I’m thrill to have found this series. It was a little difficult to get into in the beginning because I felt like the narrator was a bit stiff when telling the story. Thankfully, I stuck with it and she found her flow and I loved it.
Amber is a great heroine. She reminds me a lot like my favorite heroine, Anita Blake and that’s a win/win in my book.
Amber is smart, kick ass and very interesting and I can’t wait to get deeper into her story. Already downloaded book 2.

Historia
Patric Gagne realized she made others uncomfortable before she started kindergarten. Something about her caused people to react in a way she didn’t understand. She suspected it was because she didn’t feel things the way other kids did. Emotions like fear, guilt, and empathy eluded her. For the most part, she felt nothing. And she didn’t like the way that “nothing” felt.

One of the most interesting non-fiction books I’ve ever encountered.
Revisado: 05-14-24
First, this is a story that’s best told as an audiobook. Dr. Patric Gagne is as interesting a narrator as she is a writer. The entire time I listened to this story I felt like she and I were just sitting on her couch in her living room as she told me her story.
She’s animated and funny and I appreciated not only the way she told this story but every clinical fact, data and reference she offers. She makes the clinical aspect of her story as interesting as her life and her journey.
I’m struck at the irony through out this book. A woman, a diagnosed sociopath, apathetic and emotionally challenged in many ways is a passionate fighter for others like her. She’s brave, passionate and unrelenting in her goal to not only understand herself and her diagnosis, but to help others like her get the answers and treatment they need.
This book was absolutely brilliant. Sad in some areas, infuriating in others but full of humor in ways you won’t imagine.
This book and especially the Audible version deserves 5 stars without question.

Historia
My name is Ruby Morningstar. I run a tattoo parlor in Portland with my best friend, have a pet raccoon, a crazy ex who stalks me, not to mention this one little thing...I'm a demon. Half-succubus, to be exact. For the last 23 years of my life, that's the story I believed, but on the day a handsome stranger bails me out of jail my world is turned upside down, and suddenly I don't know who I am anymore. Because the Four Horsemen aren't the bringers of the apocalypse. I am.

Just mediocre
Revisado: 04-27-24
I wish I liked this more. The synopsis was so intriguing but it just fell short. I know this is the first of 4 books and I know that answers to many plot points will probably come in later books but this story just felt incomplete.
I just felt like some major things weren’t believable. For example, the four horsemen are all powerful beings that were created to guard Lucifer himself and can perform all these horrible feats but at the end of this story when Death brings Ruby home from being drugged and attacked and she doesn’t have a key to get into her house he is forced to bust the door down. He’s Death and he can raise the dead but he can’t get a door open without using brute force?
I think the idea of this story is a good one. Using the reverse harem trope in this way is intriguing but the small details matter. I just felt like those small details were overlooked.

The dynamic duo do it again
Revisado: 04-20-24
Anything Molly Harper writes is pure gold for me. And having Amanda narrate is the cherry on top. These two give me so much pleasure on my long drives to and from work.
I love Molly’s stories. They’re fun, full of humor and always feature one of my favorite tropes…found family.
She knows how to write humor, romance and action. I’ve listened to her entire ‘Mystic Bayou’ series and gave it all 5 stars and I look forward to listening to this series as well.
