Well Worth The Listen

Revisado: 11-18-22

This fun, Southern tale about a lawyer who attempts to keep her very witchy, ghost-sensing, psychic side hidden as she returns to her hometown (after the big city law firm that hired her straight out of law school shut down pending a federal criminal investigation.) The narrator performs a near perfect accent. If you enjoy fun and often quite frightening stories, don't miss this one. Sure hope this is Book One of the series.

best written girl porn EVER

Revisado: 05-02-22

Several of Cassidy's titles are good but this is, by far, the best written and most entertaining romantic comedy I've heard so far. Tension, conflict, character develop in a paced plot structure. Graphic physical encounters occur in situations and places appropriate to the story structure. It's enough to make even retired English teachers like girl porn.

beautifully written!

Revisado: 10-16-21

From start to finish the imagery created by this author is breath-taking. The prose carries the reader into such a whirlwind of plot, emotion, scene, setting and character development (especially of our heroine), it's impossible to put down.. As a new fan, I am relieved to see Book 2 is available for preorder now. Oh, just in case this is selected for your book club, there is a thorough set of discussion questions at the end. I love this book!

Way too violent an opening

Revisado: 02-26-21

this book opened with such a violent set of scenes it does not belong in the nocturne falls universe I returned it. If you like that sort of thing try a crime mystery instead. I returned it and can't recommend it as anything at all consistent with why my library is packed with nocturne falls where conflict is resolved much more artistically.

Delightful First Novel

Revisado: 07-07-19

This snapshot of a woman turning thirty as she solves family, romantic and professional conundrums via revealing inner dialogue and, occasionally, truly shocking behavior demonstrate Archer's applied creativity as well as that of her heroine Kelly. Archer's background clearly prepared her to write for carefully targeted audiences of young, tech savvy professional women. However, grandmothers of these amazing young women will likely enjoy The Plus One as an entertaining and fairly accurate portrait of their own twigs. Although the essence of this story isn't new, the perspective through the emotions subtly leads the reader into an emersion experience of social awkwardness and the stark-raving terror of being human of the current era. This novel is well worth the listen and Sarah Archer is a novelist on the rise.

deWitt deLivers Eccentric Quirky Characters

Revisado: 09-23-18

Have you ever read a novel with a central character consistently delivering a flat affect performance in each and every scene, yet who is endearing and extremely well developed?
Do you enjoy mother-son relationships which seem to have an implied but never blatant oedipal undercurrent?
Do you relish a peek into great wealth while secretly celebrating old-money's sudden losses?
Do you keep any DSM (a DSM-V isn't necessary) in your reference library?
Are you fascinated by stories of stilted relationships - familial, financial, friendship, romantic - unfolding into richly satisfying conclusions?
Do you love cats, New York and Paris?
French Exit provides drama, quirky characters, eccentric behavior, some surprises, love of more than one sort, betrayal, eating and drinking to excess, a private investigator, private schools, some Paris flats, some park benches and a few homeless beings in this extremely well written and entertaining novel.

Don't Miss This Masterful Modern Morality Play!

Revisado: 12-01-16

Whether you are an Anne Rice fan or not, this riveting story painted in lush, eloquent prose brought to life in a magnificent performance by Simon Vance, delivers a deep examination of God, Soul, universal connectivity, equanimity, community, justice, love and even diplomacy. Although I've been an Anne Rice fan for nearly forty years, I did not realize The Vampire Chronicles embodied the internal and external components of a modern morality play until I heard them performed by Mr. Vance. Each of the twelve volumes grinds the characters through grief, physical and psychic pain no mere human could ever survive, thus the vampire, immortal metaphor. Prince Lestat gives us both male and female response to the tribulations and agony of life in 'the savage garden.' I've read and listened to the Vampire Chronicles many times and feel strongly that Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis is, without doubt, her best work yet.
If you are looking for blood and guts gratuitous violence, you won't find it here. Violence is the amazing artistic device she uses as pivotal events to change everything you've experienced up until that point. If you love beautiful writing, you will love this book.

Greatest Supernatural Thriller of the 20th Century

Revisado: 11-06-15

finally arrives, unabridged and expertly produced, in the Audible archive. Whether you are an avid Anne Rice fan or new to her work, you must hear The Witching Hour in its entirety. In addition to the vivid imagery of location, sensation and ethical evolution of her characters for which Anne Rice is world famous, the Witching Hour delivers the most complete, detailed portrait of The Talamasca available in any of her supernatural thrillers. As the history of The Mayfair Witches unfolds, the ancient order of The Talamasca reveals its own history, purpose and growth through the centuries. Although members of the Talamasca are characters in Rice's novels, it's the Witching Hour that births the Talamasca as a fully formed, perfectly complete character in its own right. The Witching Hour is, in fact, the key hole door of Rice's supernatural thrillers as surely as that image is to this powerful, emotional story. Your supernatural library won't be complete without this unabridged production of The Witching Hour.

Awful Production Smothers Story

Revisado: 03-25-15

This needs to go back to the studio. Background sound is a good idea but does not work when sounds drown out the storyteller.
Don't even bother with this until the production quality improves. You can't hear it.

Make Time for Hearing Charades

Revisado: 01-22-13

This is undoubtedly one of the best books ever written in the English language. Somehow I missed Turner Hospital's award winning literary fiction prior to this Audio experience. Charades is a tightly woven character revealed to us in exquisitely visual, scented tangents during her year-long enchantment with and of a brilliant physicist who is twice her age but a few bosons short of a field. The story unfolds in relationship possibilities which impacted me emotionally somewhere between Slaughterhouse Five and The Solitude of Prime Numbers, yet resolves into an elegant solid. If you really love good writing, don't listen to Charades while driving or working with sharp objects.
