Ancient Roots

Great little book! Straight forward and to the point.

Revisado: 09-27-22

Gosh, I’ve never felt so much pressure to give an honest review as I do after finishing this book. ;)
I love how straightforward and to the point this book is. I also enjoyed the questions that he answered at the end. Five stars!

My favorite book

Revisado: 09-14-21

I absolutely love this story and have read the book 3 times. The narrator of this audio version is perfect and I actually prefer to listen to the book over reading it, because of his narration. Finishing it makes want to go visit The House of the Seven Gables again, too!

Cute story. Narration was... interesting.

Revisado: 08-11-20

I enjoyed the story. Even though was pretty predictable, it was fun and cute and kept me going.
The narrator has such a lovely voice, so it was strange to hear her interpretation of some of the characters... Especially the American characters. It was really hard to get past those weird nasally voices while listening, but it made for some good laughs while I was in here listening by myself 😁

Loved it!

Revisado: 09-26-19

Like the author, I have two ancestors who were tried as witches in the Salem Witch Trials, so I really connected with this story. I loved the way it covered both the (mostly historical) 1692 incidents and the (fictional) current happenings involving a descendant. I thought it was really well done!

Great story. Funny narration.

Revisado: 05-10-19

The narrator was very, almost robotically, clear with her American English pronunciation... To the point that it was actually distracting and a bit comical.
But it’s a fabulous story and I would recommend this book to anyone interested in historical fiction, even if the main characters weren’t their ancestors like they were mine :) Maybe try the paper copy if narration performance is important to you.

Where are the stories?

Revisado: 01-23-19

More than half this incredible book is missing in this audio version! I didn’t realize, until it was suddenly over. So disappointing. If I hadn’t read the actual book years ago I wouldn’t have known that this wasn’t all of it. This audio version is not a good representation of the actual book.

One detail ruined it all

Revisado: 05-24-18

I really enjoyed this series and thought that this one was performed especially well by the narrator. I liked the characters and I felt invested in their story. But gosh, (SPOILER!) with all of the build up to what the demon's name would be, I expected something that was well researched and, well, demon-like. When I heard the name revealed as Cernunnos, I actually gasped. Are you kidding me? For someone who has obviously done her research on all things witchy and pagan, why on earth would Nora Roberts choose Cernunnos, the Celtic god of the forest, for the name of the demon? VERY disappointing and downright offensive. I probably won't be reading any books by this author again.

Fun, easy listen

Revisado: 03-27-18

I enjoyed this story and will continue on to the next of the series. I try to throw in a fun fictional book every couple of months or so, between my podcast listening, and this was the perfect easy, light and playful story to listen to.

Disappointed

Revisado: 12-06-17

This book was recommended to me by many people after I fell in love with “IT”, so I had high expectations. Sadly, I was disappointed. The story wasn’t bad, it just seemed very forced and heavy handed... I imagine if Stephen King had written the story with a pencil, he probably ripped through the paper and broke a lot of lead. I won’t be reading the rest of the series.

Story of my life!

Revisado: 06-08-17

Wow, it was crazy listening to this story and feeling like I was listening to a well written version of my own story. I absolutely enjoyed this book. I could relate to so much of it that it was uncanny. I love the author's style and the narrator did such a great job. I would recommend this book. It is unlike my usual choice of book genres but I truly enjoyed it.
