Great book- odd Narration

Revisado: 02-11-25

The story was great and the narrator was a good reader at a good pace but his character voices were cartoonish so it took time to get used to

My first Nora Roberts

Revisado: 10-04-24

Mom and I bout this book on CDs for a road trip. It was our first audio book and our first Nora Roberts book. We played a game where we took a sip of our diet cokes every time we heard the word “veranda” and had a fabulous drive. I’ve listened to several NR books since but this one holds the nostalgia

I’m into the story

Revisado: 09-23-24

The narrator is so slow that it doesn’t even sound fast playing on 1.2 speed. She’s also not great at nuance. She says everything too sultry.
The story was good- just some annoying repetition with thoughts and a couple logic holes. Definitely interested in no 2 though

Good story

Revisado: 09-18-23

The reader is a little sappy but it’s pretty good overall. I want to go straight into the next book

So glad I downloaded this

I listened to the silent corner first and I’m glad I came back and found this! I really think I’m going to like the Jane Hawk series

Lost a bit

Revisado: 03-21-23

One episode (Ten, I think) cuts off before she’s done talking but I don’t think too much importance was lost

I liked it.

Revisado: 01-17-23

NARRATION: After the first chapter I went back to the reviews to see if anyone had complained about the narrator. I felt like the reading was slow and bland any that she was putting inflections in the wrong places. All I saw were compliments and the only complaints were about her pronunciation. I’m from southeast Louisiana and I didn’t hear the narrator “butcher” any pronunciations or accents as far as the general narrative and names. I don’t live around enough Acadians to know if she butchered the French or Cajun. I do think she did a good job of having the main character who grew up in NY pronounce things like a foreigner would. After the first couple chapters, the narrator’s style and cadence grew on me and I really enjoyed listening to the book.

STORY: At first I was frustrated with Miranda not catching on to things as quickly as I was but as the story began to open up, I liked the way she was written. The history and mystery are very interesting and I didn’t guess the plot twist until right before it was revealed.

This was my first book by this Author and I do want to listen to another.

Not the best one but still good

Revisado: 01-09-23

There were logic overlaps and plot holes that seemed like maybe they were the result of rewriting or mind-changes, but otherwise still a good Irish Murder book.

Starts out good turns into smut

Revisado: 12-14-22

I loved the way the history and backstory are introduced. It really seemed like it was going to turn out to be a really well thought out and written witch story.
It turned out to be full of cringy sex scenes which completely took me out of the story because I’d get distracted wondering why she wrote them like a horny teenager that can’t decide which words are dirty and which are sexy. Also she doesn’t seem to know what the word “rape” means.
The storyline itself became tiresome and grotesque. A waste of 45 hours. I just kept thinking, “but this is the famous Anne Rice, the famous Mayfair Witches story, surely it’s about to go back to being a good book?!” But no. It did not. IMO

Good idea took too long

Revisado: 10-31-22

This book would have been interesting if it wasn’t so drawn out and slow. The plot was great and I would have loved this book if it weren’t for the dragging & nagging. I’m still curious to try another Hester Fox book to see if she gets better at getting to the point
