Historia
They call them wayward girls. Loose girls. Girls who grew up too fast. And they’re sent to Wellwood House in St. Augustine, Florida, where unwed mothers are hidden by their families to have their babies in secret, to give them up for adoption, and most important of all, to forget any of it ever happened. Everything the girls eat, every moment of their waking day, and everything they’re allowed to talk about is strictly controlled by adults who claim they know what’s best for them.

Timely and Amazing
Revisado: 03-23-25
This book was timely and amazing! The scariest thing in this book is what these girls experience from the adults and the societal constraints and norms about pregnancy. There wis an interesting argument about who has power and who doesn’t. I would highly recommend listening to this book.

If you like Twilight you’ll enjoy this
Revisado: 01-29-25
I gave 4 stars to the narrator. She did her job and got me through the story.However, the pacing was slower than I preferred so I took away one star.
As a fantasy romance the love story is similar to Edward and Bella from Twilight, centuries old man and teenager/young adult woman. This character dynamic is a tale as old as time. This has a typical power imbalance and heroine’s obsession with her captor/fairy lover. I would actually suggest listening to A Discovery of Witches instead. It’s performed by the same narrator but the heroine is a doctoral student in her thirties with latent magical powers.
The rest of this story is a Frankenstein’s monster of stories from fairy tales and pop culture.

Unable to prove that she’s the missing princess, and unable to bear life under Lady Tremaine any longer, Cinderella attempts a fresh start, looking for work at the palace as a seamstress. But when the Grand Duke appoints her to serve under the king’s visiting sister, Cinderella becomes witness to a grand conspiracy to take the king - and the prince - out of power, as well as a longstanding prejudice against fairies, including Cinderella’s own Fairy Godmother.

Cinderella finally has human friends
Revisado: 09-20-24
This was such a lovely story! I loved that Cinderella made friends with other adult women who actually cared about her. The additional characters like Lady Genevieve were a nice surprise in this twisted universe.

Dysfunctional Family Christmas Story!
Revisado: 06-27-24
I adored this book! Nothing says Christmas like a demon possession, witchcraft, and a parade with the Krampus as its main attraction. This was such a fun supernatural thriller. I would highly recommend it.

This was such a nice addition to the Disney TwistedTales universe! I loved that Tiana and Naveen have an adventure and love story as humans! Much of the adventure takes place New Orleans and there are rich details about Mardi Gras and local culture to enhance the story. The narrator did a nice job on her performance as well and each character is clearly.

Historia
When COVID-19 sweeps through New York City, Jamie Gray is stuck as a dead-end driver for food-delivery apps. That is, until Jamie makes a delivery to an old acquaintance, Tom, who works at what he calls “an animal rights organization”. Tom’s team needs a last-minute grunt to handle things on their next field visit. Jamie, eager to do anything, immediately signs on. What Tom doesn't tell Jamie is that the animals his team cares for are not here on Earth. Not our Earth, at at least. In an alternate dimension, dinosaur-like creatures named Kaiju roam a warm and human-free world.

Historia
Center of the YOUniverse is an out-of-this-world spectacle starring Tituss Burgess and Jane Krakowski with music, laughter, and (probably) the salvation of humanity from its self-inflicted doom. Unaware of just how brightly the other one shines, Tituss and Jane will attempt the impossible: a double-booking. In a unique blend of song and storytelling, they’ll stop at nothing to upstage each other and steal the spotlight…until they realize the true purpose of being ridiculously attractive and having immeasureble talent: to unite and heal the world.

Historia
Now reduced to a schoolyard chant, the Hope family murders shocked the Maine coast one bloody night in 1929. While most people assume seventeen-year-old Lenora was responsible, the police were never able to prove it. Other than her denial after the killings, she has never spoken publicly about that night, nor has she set foot outside Hope’s End, the cliffside mansion where the massacre occurred.

Delightful yet predictable ending
Revisado: 12-18-23
I predicted the ending of this book one hour into listening, but there were still aspects of the ending that were very sweet and delightful.As for the narrator, she did a nice job distinguishing each character.
