Historia
We travel the country, offering terrifying haunted houses, thrilling rides, and the tastiest food. And with every passing town, I cleanse this world, one execution at a time. I hide within the walls, casting my judgement for those that reek of evil, singing lullabies to their rotting souls.

Enjoyable Intro to The World
Revisado: 07-13-23
Good. I enjoy the premise and characters. I was pretty confused throughout much of it, but glad I stuck with it to the end. Looking back at things I am happy with
If everything revealed gets built upon in Haunting Adeline - I’m looking forward to more.

Historia
Devon Walker has had it rough lately. She kinda saved the game world - or, at least, earned the citizens of Aventalia a small respite from the demon attacks - but the wild magic she used had some devastating consequences, starting with a shattered landscape and the apparent vanishing of her settlement. Now, it's up to her to fix the problems, save her NPC friends, and lay plans to take the attack to the demon forces.

Good but short
Revisado: 10-18-21
A good continuation of the story, and very well done… but it felt too short. There were too many story arcs being told at the same time, and I felt like there could have been more development between many of the character relationships. Hoping to see more in the future.

Loved it - but lacking in progress
Revisado: 06-09-20
This was great to listen to... but very lacking in progress and content.
It feels like the author dived deep into games like 7 days to die, RUST, ARK, or Raft and brought our hero into a situation where nothing he gained in the previous seven books mattered.
Constantly starving? Severely dehydrated?
... but still the character spends valuable time going over new talents, skills, and learning more about his next tier of progress.
The entire book feels like a guide to the next level of power. A DM’s guide to The Land. Instead of reading about someone playing a game with intricate systems, I learned more about the systems.
Which isn’t bad in a normal circumstance. I love what The author is creating mechanics wise...
But holy cow... this was like having three or four books of system information crammed into one.
The character would take a few short steps and then I would be flooded with an hour of talent, skill, and crafting information.
The character would be engaged with a battle for his very soul, and I would get another hour of character upgrade information.
The banter and dialogue are fun... like I said this was good to listen to...
But the entire book is... what? A few days? 3-5? With a constant reminder that hunger, thirst, and losing his soul with one misstep was top of the list...
But... clearly the upgrades, crafting, and talents were more important.
I hesitate to say this is Book 8. More like book 7.5. Or a “Guide to The Land’s Next Level of Power”.
Enjoyable... but overall disappointing from a story or character development perspective.
Gnomes still rule... but I’m left wondering where the gnomes went off to.

Historia
Former bounty hunter Rachel Morgan has it pretty good. She has left the corrupt Inderland Runner Service and started her own independent service. She's survived werewolves, shape-changing demons, bad-hair days, and sharing a church with her vampire roommate, Ivy. She even has a cute (if human) boyfriend - what more could a witch want? But living with a reformed vampire isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Disappointing Story
Revisado: 06-25-19
I found most of the story to be difficult to pay attention to. I like the characters individually but their interactions seemed so... annoying. The cop and his son with their magical hang ups... the phobia of tomatoes... the willing ignorance and stubbornness of the main heroine...
Yes... we get it... the big bad guy is a big bad guy... but the protagonist recklessly and annoyingly buried herself headfirst in making sure the big bad guy gets brutally destroyed in every way imaginable.
I’m going... woah woah woah... yes... that kingpin of crime is a real bastard... but he has a system in a world of vampires, werewolves, and unspeakable demonic killings... the brutality of that world just doesn’t seem to weigh properly in Rachel’s mind.
Narrator is great... love the performance and she helps make the characters memorable...
But man... I don’t like many scenes in the book until you get closer to the end.
A lot of frustration and pushing myself through this book. Maybe book 3 is better? I want to believe!

Good - but not amazing
Revisado: 06-11-19
I enjoyed the other novels, and will keep reading... but I found the main characters simply too beaten down in this one for very little reason. There was far too much loss on the MC side to justify everything that happened. The main scenes of the story were good... but really? Frank loses all his soldiers, AND the reward AND Alexion gets away? But don’t worry... we are still some pretty big badasses here.
The twilight throne is decimated, beyond the ability to recover it sounds like... but we can still salvage this? We have more recruits coming.
Let’s fight the nefarious bad guy who has literally demolished everything in the kingdom, and setup a brilliant plan to destroy the Twilight Throne even if he loses... but Jason is going to stop him with an obvious mechanic about crystals that was introduced across a couple of books?
Reading this was like watching someone cut huge chunks of flesh from the characters, but leaving just enough for them to get by. Let’s really hurt the MCs with things they should be able to handle... but let them limp through to a “win.”
I felt like I enjoyed the characters in the real world More than their digital selves. I loved listening to those parts... especially concerning Alfred. Good scenes there. Brilliant scenes with the parents.
Their game avatars are just so... poorly played? Too many bad things happening to them without much justification. Hell... Alexion and other players still standing toe-to-toe with Jason and the crew is a bit absurd after what we have seen Jason and the others deal with.
I realize that the series could get boring without some conflict... but watching what happens to the MCs felt like a worse torture than what happened at the end.
*My thoughts throughout the book*
“Stop. Stop. He’s already dead.” meme...
I felt like... after all that... what? Are they worse off than they started? And to what purpose?
So many questions, and concerns. Well written parts and some excellent real world scenes... but the game stuff was baffling this go around.

Promising series but poor delivery
Revisado: 03-10-19
The story itself is a good twist on modern magical worlds. I found myself curious about some of the characters and enjoying the events in the book.
But the narration is poorly done. The narrator is just missing proper storytelling techniques, and there are so much poor timing and odd deliveries I found myself disliking this book.
To be clear, I don’t mind the narrators voice. I think I would love to listen to this narrator in a variety of stories... but the way this book was delivered, or perhaps the way this has been edited, made it a poor experience.

Mindset is one of those rare audio books that can help you make positive changes in your life and at the same time see the world in a new way. A leading expert in motivation and personality psychology, Carol Dweck has discovered in more than 20 years of research that our mindset is not a minor personality quirk: it creates our whole mental world. It explains how we become optimistic or pessimistic. It shapes our goals, our attitude toward work, and ultimately predicts whether or not we will fulfull our potential.

Worth a Listen
Revisado: 02-14-19
I found this enjoyable, and worth listening to as a person new to the concept of a Growth Mindset. I’ve heard of the ideas and practices before, but never grouped them under that title. Enjoyable stories and lessons about the value of embracing this perspective of the world.

Excellent LitRPG
Revisado: 07-24-18
One of my favorites in the genre! An excellent example of what LitRPG has to offer, and a wonderful narrator to boot!
Highly recommended, and looking forward to more!

Historia
In the summer between second and third year at Whitehall, Emily accompanies Lady Barb on her rounds of the Cairngorm Mountains, bringing magical help to the locals and searching for new magicians. For Emily, tired and broken after the events of Study in Slaughter, it should be a chance to relax as well as to visit a new part of the Nameless World, to put her responsibilities aside and just be herself. But the locals aren't quite what she expects, with problems of their own, and Lady Barb is a different person away from Whitehall.

Getting Better
Revisado: 04-02-18
This was an enjoyable part to this series. More focused on the events, and characters. I feel this was a major improvement over the last book right up to the last section ....
Again with the "I've changed the world..." and "those letters look like a window back to a time before she changed the world...". Admittedly the character thinks it was an absurd thought, but I'm so sick of seeing that phrase.
Stop telling me this! Show me!
Other than that, the book was good. I can recommend it. Keeps me interested in reading further.

Not bad, but frustrating
Revisado: 03-10-18
The plot and main points of the book are good. Written as an outline I would definitely think this would be an awesome book...
But I found the whole story very tiring and frustrating. I was annoyed at the main character, and constantly wondering what the heck was going on. The whole story was less interesting / enjoyable than the first two books.
But ah-ha! We have the reason at the end!
I dislike such explanations. I had trouble figuring out if the main character was 17, or 13. Was she a young woman bordering on adulthood, or a child that couldn't see beyond her own reckless desires.
At the end of the book, I guess I'm just supposed to forgive this... But I simply can't excuse all these powerful side characters being absolutely useless.
The whole book was a series of blunders, impotence, ignorance, and a complete disregard of common sense and logic. AND THEN you have to keep hearing about how much the world has changed.
Really? Has it changed? Because all I see is people making the same dumb mistakes, and everyone running around like they don't know what to do, or how to do anything about it.
"Let's turn to the 13/17 year old girl/woman for answers."
The narrator is great, and the major plot points of the book sound great on paper... But the book is poorly fleshed out and it doesn't leave me enjoying it like the first two.
I hear the rest are much better.
