Excellent Podcast for Fans of Agatha (Christie)!

Revisado: 03-02-23

This is such an amazing podcast! I love the critical thinking and attention to detail with which Kemper and Catherine (with others) engage with all the works of Agatha Christie. As a teacher of high school English, I find the categories from which they attribute points to the various elements of the murder-mystery-thriller genre very helpful for structuring similar engagement opportunities for my students. As a fan of Christie, I find the discussions of these elements very fair, well-thought-out, and thought-provoking. There is excellence and elegance to this podcast. It is fun and witty. I highly recommend it to all who love the genre and the dame.

NOT up to the standards I've come to expect

Revisado: 11-12-20

This narrator is so far removed from the quality of the narrator from the original books in this series that she makes it hard to listen to. Not only is she missing the southern accent I expect from the voices of this southern family, but the overacting is so pronounced that its cringe-worthy. It is possible that my dislike for this story is partly the fault of the narrator, but the writing itself is very convoluted and overwrought. Maybe it would have been better to quit while ahead.

Great Story, Great Imagination

Revisado: 07-04-17

Would you listen to Obsidian again? Why?

Yes! It is a wonderfully entertaining.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Obsidian?

Daemon and Katy's first make-out session... the one that blew her laptop up.

She is great for this part. She brings just the right voice to the women, and the men.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Really Brought the Story to Life

Revisado: 07-03-17

Would you listen to Haven again? Why?

I have already listened to the whole series again. It is a wonderful experience.

What other book might you compare Haven to and why?

Perhaps Hidden Wings, (by Cameo Renae), Runes, (by Ednah Walters), or (Un)Bidden, (by Melissa Haag). All of these books are also available at Audible

Which scene was your favorite?

I really like the scene in which Emma and Jordan are eating on the rooftop deck. Enter Harper... hilarious!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Not necessarily. Having already read the kindle version, the compulsion to find out what happens next is less of a burning issue.

Any additional comments?

I highly recommend the Relentless Series.

Solid Book #2 for Significance Series

Revisado: 03-23-17

Would you listen to Accordance again? Why?

Yes. I enjoy reliving a good book series. The story and narration of this book are done fairly well.

What did you like best about this story?

Maggie's first vision. It is broad in scope and sweeps through time, yet is specific and focused enough to become the road map to the Vituoso's future.

Which character – as performed by Cris Dukehart – was your favorite?

I really enjoy the way that Dukehart brings Maggie's character to life. I also enjoy Dukehart's portrayal of Caleb. However, the character to whom she brings the most fun, must be Becca.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The completely tragic plot development that unveils Bish and Jenn as starcrossed.

Any additional comments?

This series is, thus far, quite enjoyable. This book has a couple of weaker plot elements, but the book is good regardless.

Really great book, poor job with character voices

Revisado: 01-09-17

Where does Intransigent rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Middle of the pack. The character voices really dragged the ranking down, especially the voice of Stephen Park.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Intransigent?

It has to be the scene during which Abi slays the 10 Arvies threatening Finn, as well as the powerful people who dared to order such an experiments.

What three words best describe Rachel Simpson’s voice?

terrible character voices

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No

Great Book, Wonderful Narration

Revisado: 01-09-17

What did you love best about Sanctum?

It was great to have a whole book in which Abi and Finn could be together. It was very enjoyable.

What other book might you compare Sanctum to and why?

Seeress, by Ednah Walters. Raine and the witches have to battle the warlocks and evil immortals, Abi and Finn battle the Arvies (alongside the people of Sanctum).

Raine has to battle things projected into her mind. Abi has to battle against her mental connection to the Arvies.

Raine and Torin grow closer together; Abi and Finn grow closer together.

Which character – as performed by Erin Moon – was your favorite?

Finn, but then he is one of my book boyfriends.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Pike's death. I was unprepared, heartbroken, and I ugly cried.
