Where did the likable characters go?

Revisado: 05-24-21

I listened to the 1st two in this series and thought I had found a light mystery series that was mildly entertaing. Then I started this third book. Ugh. I can't believe I acutally listened to six hours but I kept thinkin the story would get better. Nope. Can't finish it. The storyline is awful and so are the characters, even Sunny who I liked in the 1st two books is a simpering, whining, character so far.

Surprisingly engaging

Revisado: 03-08-21

This was a free audible original and I enjoy a murder mystery so gave it a try. I was surprised how much I liked the protagonist private detective Zip Ono and found the plot held my interest. I felt like there was a prequel but couldn’t find any other books. I would enjoy reading more adventures of Zip.

The narrator was okay, just some of the character voices were annoying.

Terrible narration

Revisado: 04-17-20

With a light weight story the performance is everything. The narration was so terrible could not continue to listen.

UGH... Will the Heroine Ever Grow Up?

Revisado: 06-11-19

I really wanted to like this book. From the summary it seemed to have everthing I would like and it was read by one of my absolute favorites Jennifer Ikeda. I finally had to call it quits at the start of book 2. More than 10 hours into the book I just could not stomach the 10+ hours left. The storyline dragged and I was so tired of Tessa. I kept waiting for the moment she finally showed some emotional growth or had an epiphany and grew a backbone. But it hadn't happened by the time I stopped listening. And Raphael was neither likable or unlikeable, just kind of "blah". Don't waste your time.

Narrater made it hard to listen

Revisado: 04-04-19

The story line was very predictable and the characters very one dimensional. I'm not sure if the herorine was truly that whiny or if it was just how the narrator made her come across. It could have been an easy, light listen if it weren't for the awful narration. The male voices were horrible, they all sounded like ancient trolls. The echo effect was also very annoying.

Disappointed

Revisado: 03-29-19

I am a huge a fan of The Dresden Files (can hardly wait the the next book) and Peter Grant, The Rivers of London series. So after reading reviews for this series, I was excited to start a great new series. However, I was very disappointed. I found the writing uninspired, the plot thin and formulaic and the narrator irritating. Bummer all the way around.

Hooked

Revisado: 03-19-17

I am hooked on this series and James Marrsters narration brings Harry to life. Can't wait to listen to the next one.
