Action packed book!

Revisado: 11-15-16

What did you love best about Wickedly They Come?

I loved the action that this book provided and the emotional content of what was happening between mother and daughter and the eternal fight for Jordan's soul.

Which character – as performed by Andrea Emmes – was your favorite?

Jordan, as the main character. Emmes really knows how to embody a teenager. Having raised one myself, it was pretty spot on but with the added layers of pain, vengeance and rush in without thinking that kids face today when dealing with loss or other tragedies.

Any additional comments?

The author did a really great job of laying out the story with multiple characters and story points that were brought together quite nicely and the narrator did an excellent job of pulling it all together and bringing an extra layer of emotion and performance. Highly recommend this book.

What did you love best about Raggedy Ann Stories?

I loved how energetic the narrator was when reading it and my daughter and I really loved the different voices. This is my daughter's favorite book and she loved listening to this audiobook while snuggling with her Raggedy Ann doll.

Have you listened to any of Andrea Emmes’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes, but it was nice to hear Andrea do a children's book.

Sweet YA Romance

Revisado: 12-05-14

What did you like best about this story?

The "innocence" of the characters coming into their love.

Have you listened to any of Andrea Emmes’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes. I really enjoyed how the narrator is able to make the characters feel alive and "real". There was a lot of personality and emotion with these characters that I think really moved the story along. Especially when the main character was going through heartache.

Couldn't Stop Listening!!

Revisado: 10-26-14

Where does Stolen rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This was the best audio book I have ever listened to.

What did you like best about this story?

Book was very well written. When Cayla told her story to Ia, it sucked me right in and emotionally grabbed me. The twist, however, was incredible!! Totally sucker punched me.

Margaret Windsor was phenomenal and I would read/listen to any of her novels -- Stolen is a "sit on the edge of your seat" kinda book, coupled with great writing and superior storytelling from the narrator.

What does Andrea Emmes bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

This was a book I didn't want to put down.

Andrea's ability to emotionally invest herself into the characters made ME want to immerse myself into the audio book and the world she presents. Her narration brought everything to life and totally threw me into the story and wouldn't let me go. I didn't feel like I was just a listener. I felt like a participant.

WOW

Revisado: 10-06-14

Any additional comments?

WOW! I am amazed at how quickly I was taken in by this book. It may only be a short story but the Author was able to write volumes into the few short chapters. The narrator had me from the start with her emotion filled voice that made me feel her anguish. Both author and narrator made this book come alive for me!

Excited about the series

Revisado: 08-24-14

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes! Even though the content was a little "young" for me (I'm an older woman), the story was really intriguing and got me excited to hear the rest of the series. I love trilogies, series, but within the first four chapters, if I'm not sold, then I just stopped. Theresa kept me going through the entire book. Ready for book two, please!

What did you like best about this story?

It's fantasy and intriguing but not over the top. It's still believable and the characters are really memorable and I care about them.

What about Andrea Emmes’s performance did you like?

Andrea really helps bring me into the author's world in a believable manner, especially with all of the different voices she uses.

Any additional comments?

I liked the Romance between Lir and Jax, but I would have liked their friendship to have been built up a little more first, even though it was obvious that they were interested in each other. Also, for all of the aliens, I would have preferred them to have a little bit of a subtle accesnt to differentiate them from the humans so that it was more believable that they were from another planet and that when they were speaking English, they were translating and reflecting in their head to know how to "say" the right thing. Could also have changed up some of the pronunciations of some of the human words or break up the speech pattern a little bit again to show that they were a little different.

Narration kept my interest

Revisado: 08-24-14

Where does Order of Saint Michael rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This was the second audiobook that I've heard and I would rank this as #2.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Order of Saint Michael?

The college party scene where Adalia and Jamara saved that poor girl and dealt with all of those demons.

What does Andrea Emmes bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Andrea's narration is really what kept me interested in finishing the audiobook. When I read a book, I like to put myself inside the story as the main character and she really helped draw me and keep me in. Her ability to differentiate her voice for each character helped me know who was speaking and stuck with me as the story progressed so that each time I would hear that character's voice again, I knew instantly who it was.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No. The author takes the story down some unnecessary rabbit holes that really didn't stick to a solid idea and that pulled me out of the story a bit, but the story line and concept was definitely good enough to want to me to continue since it peaked my curiosity.

Any additional comments?

My only comment for the narrator would be to work on stronger male voices so they sound more masculine. Maybe add more gravel to the voice. It must be hard to do being a woman, and even though the male voices were good, they could still use some work.
