Important and gripping
Revisado: 07-15-24
This is a powerful story expertly told, with perfect narration. I highly recommend this book. Sort of made my blood boil but that’s why it’s important.

Something is happening to Morgan that she doesn’t understand. She sees things, feels things in a new way. She can do things normal people can’t do. Powerful things. Magical things. And it scares her. She never chose to learn witchcraft, but she’s starting to wonder if witchcraft is choosing her.

WARNING! Audio Series incomplete!
Revisado: 07-03-23
I just got to book 5, looked for book 6 to find the audio series is incomplete? I expected to pay for books but just no audio book version was surprising. Especially since this is an older series. I’m investigating.

Wicca has changed Morgan’s life. She’s lost old friends, made new ones, and discovered her heritage. She also found love and betrayal. But there’s so much more to learn. She knows Wicca can be used for good or for evil. The hard part is knowing which is which.

I’ve been enjoying the series especially being free from audible but to get to book 5 to learn no book 6 and onward? Disappointing.

This is part of audible plus and I was throughly pleased with the story and narrator. An interesting look at a the humanity of Morgan who has been portrayed as a villainess. Romantic, empowering and understanding of woman’s trials in olden times.
Highly recommend.

Interesting for serious ELRIC fans
Revisado: 06-14-23
Since the Elric saga is an all time favorite I was very excited to read this book. But for readers a caution, towards the end it hits a long part that could have used editing. Lots of convoluted exposition that slows the flow of the story. Yes such lengthy esoteric rumination is part of this author’s style but I’m commenting that even a lover of words like myself was thinking “let’s move on, I get the gist“
I wish all those words had been traded for another contained adventure for the heroes in the underside of the world. What other gods, monsters, and decadent cities could the heroes encountered on the way to their ultimate destination?
I listened at double speed to get through that tedious section.
I’m glad to have listened to this book and if you can’t get enough of Elric, please enjoy the excellent narration and the mostly interesting story.
So only 3 stars for this story while I’d give the original ELRIC series 6 stars if possible.

Warning: this is a Horror book.
Revisado: 04-16-23
As a graphic designer I want to redesign the cover of this book. The current cover art is a little silly and it makes this look more like a “spooky” tale, but oh no, this is a gory horror book.
So if you know what you are getting yourself in for you may like it better. Once I made peace with that fact I enjoyed the book overall. And the narrator was good.
As a woman I was a bit put off by the sex fixation of some of the male characters but I guess it was “realistic”
This could make a good movie if done well.
Enjoy! I got this book for free. But don’t read before bedtime unless gushing blood and twisted monsters puts you to sleep.

Historia
The Grand Hotel is a horror novel by esteemed best-selling author Scott Kenemore ( Zombie, Ohio) that takes the reader on a thrilling ride through an interconnected series of stories narrated by the desk clerk and the residents of the hotel itself. And while it is not known whether or not the desk clerk is actually the devil incarnate, it is strange that so many visitors who come for a tour of the hotel have a way of never leaving.

Great book of short stories with engaging linking device
Revisado: 04-10-23
Wow, really enjoyed this short read! Excellent short stories woven into an engaging overarching story to link them all together. And the narrator was top notch, doing so many believable voices. I’m going to look for other books he narrates. Only thing I’d suggest is changing the cover art. Looks like it’s going to be a noir/mystery story. Cover and logo don’t really communicate what you are going to experience.

Historia
It is one of the most well-known and well-loved fantasy epics of the twentieth century: the story of Elric, emperor of the dying kingdom of Melniboné. For a hundred centuries the Melnibonéans have ruled from the Dragon Isle of Imrryr. Now, after years of corruption and decadence, Elric’s amoral cousin Prince Yyrkoon, the brother of his beloved Cymoril, sets his eyes on the Ruby Throne. Elric must face his treacherous cousin not as a warrior but as a sorcerer king once again in league with the ancient gods of Melniboné, the Chaos Lords, and thus sealing his inexorable fate.

Fantastic!
Revisado: 09-20-20
The cast narration was wonderful, the stories were mostly amazing (some better than others). Be prepared for some tough stories, this is not for little kids. Also comes with a PDF that lists all the credits (voices) for each story.
Maybe I will finally get the graphic novel.

Historia
Zero is just one of 20,000 people aboard a spaceship bound for a new planet set to be colonized. The journey is over a century long but luckily, everyone is in stasis, so they’ll be safe and sound asleep during the trip. Everyone that is, except for Zero, whose pod has malfunctioned, waking him up a hundred years early. His initial excitement in roaming the ship alone quickly turns to a heart-stopping interstellar adventure when a family of space pirates show up, trying to hijack the ship and take the colonizers hostage.

OK for young kids
Revisado: 07-14-20
I am an adult who likes to listen to children and YA books, however this book was problematic. The biggest issue for me was the extremely cartoonish villains. Quite cringe-worthy. The performances (other than the villains) were decent, the story was very predictable – Think Home Alone in space and you got this book summed up.
If you want a short book for a young boy who is into science-space elements this may be OK.
