Interesting committed love story

Revisado: 12-13-24

I love Ali's stories, I learn so much about current culture. She seems to know more about American trends than we do. Pretty awesome for a European. The narrator is wonderful.

Captivating!

Revisado: 10-17-24

Interesting story with realistic characters and fascinating Jewish culture. I love learning new words, and concepts.
I found myself googling terms and/or phrases to learn more about them. I always enjoy when a book captures the imagination the way this one did. I have listened to her previous book, 'The Matchmaker's gift,' many times, and I think I will be reading this one again as well. Bravo!

Listen to the lie

Revisado: 05-25-24

Loved this story, loved the style. A great idea using a true crime podcast to help solve a real life mystery in a fictional novel. Way cool! Of course, the narrators were A plus and kept things interesting. Plus, the author kept me guessing until the end. My first Amy Tintera, definitely not my last. Well done!

A Witch and a Demon are cursed

Revisado: 05-09-24

At first I thought it was going to be a great mystery/love story, then I found it too hard to follow. Always jumping back and forth. In the end, I couldn't bond with any one of her previous incarnations. Maybe it's just me?
I may give it another try some time if it doesn't put me to sleep again. I was looking for a happy magical realism story and this was suggested by Google, not!

Excellent story!

Revisado: 09-20-23

Fascinating. I can't wait to listen to it again. There are some scenes that had me sniffling, but I don't want to give any of the story away. This one may be my favorite book of the four written thus far. Bravo!

Riveting story.

Revisado: 09-14-23

Great story, and awesome narrator. I really enjoy these historical romances that also are infused with people that have psychical talents. Leave it to Amanda Quick to keep it interesting. So glad to hear from the Arcane Society again. I was also happy to see that Gabe and Venetia are doing well. I loved their story too. In addition, the dog called "Fog" was adorable. And, I really thought Aunt Victoria was sweet. Bravo! Now we need a story for Caleb.

Magical

Revisado: 06-11-23

I loved this story so much that I've already listened to it twice. It has it all! The narrator grew on me. Listening to the sample several times, I repeatedly rejected this choice. However, since a good friend had recommended this book to me, I kept returning to it and I finally took the plunge.
It was the right choice. Turns out that the narrator was wonderful, I just needed time to recognize it. My first Kristin Hannah, there will definitely be more. The ending was surprising and perfect, kept me guessing.

Mediocre

Revisado: 06-11-23

Anything read by Rebecca Lowman, is always phenomenal! This story is mediocre or maybe better than that, I'm not sure. Its my first by Laura Dave, and if I'm still thinking about it in the next few days then its probably better than I thought. Intriguing subject and with a good plot. I know its a bestseller, so what do I know?

Very different!

Great story. Blew my mind. The story really took me by surprise. Narrator was excellent as well. Amazing surprise ending. Never saw that one coming!

Above average story

Revisado: 09-16-22

An interesting story with a lot going on. Multiple plot lines to follow, but it's doable. I personally don't care for all the political machinations going on with Inspector Gamache's job. I wish he could focus on solving homicides with his team.
In fact, in this story we are never really sure who killed the last quint. It is suggested it was probably a younger brother/sibling that no one was aware of. However, that loose end is not tied up. We don't learn if there is an arrest or not (unless I missed something).
On the other hand, seeing Beavoir decompensate, hit bottom, and finally find his moral compass again was rewarding. He redeemed himself.
Finally, I enjoyed having Agent Nicole in the picture again, warts and all. Her character deserves to be more fleshed out and I hope she gets promoted soon. Great narration as usual.
