Desert Girod

Hard to like main character

Revisado: 07-13-24

The main character is infuriating. Her lack of emotional control becomes a crutch for the author to use to build drama. Annoying.

5 Strangers Trapped, or Are They Strangers

Revisado: 06-29-24

A well paced story that gives you clues as the tension builds. Who can be trusted and will anyone get out alive? Kept me guessing until the twist. Good way to pass a 5 hour road trip.

Good Story - Don't like AI Reader

Revisado: 04-14-24

First book from this author and I enjoyed the story and characters. The pace was good and kept me listening. The only complaint is the clunky AI reader. The voice was emotionless during conflicts and life or death situations. A shout or yell was deadpan and it would take a moment to understand the emotion of the character.

Would listen to more books by this author.

Not really interested in listening to another AI reader drone through the story.

Ugh.

Revisado: 01-14-24

I have enjoyed the quirky characters in this series. Sadly, this story seemed to be limited to trotting out stereotype descriptions. I was hoping for some character development and all I got was shrieking dialog. This could have been great fun, using the long history and lifetimes of the supernatural and how they were adjusting to modern life. RuPaul's Drag Race has more character development than this story.

There is a story in there somewhere...

Revisado: 09-23-22

but you need a shovel to find it. Ugh. More emphasis on trying to out do Lovecraft at doing Lovecraft. Disjointed dialog, uneven volume of speaking voices, hackney sound effects covering weak story line.

Enjoyable but hate how each ends

Revisado: 10-24-21

Cliffhanger...For television series it is expected but for books it is annoying.

Each book in the series has ended in a cliffhanger. The series is popcorn listening perfect for a weekend of listening and cleaning house.

The narration almost ruined it

Revisado: 12-28-20

The pronunciation of simple words like taco others were super annoying. Decided to finish the book because the story was good. Surprised this was not corrected early in the audio production of the book. I see the next two are read by the same person. Not sure if I will continue with the series. Taco? Really?

Queenie with the Royals - gads

Revisado: 12-12-20

This was an improvement over the previous adventure in book 8. I am still over and done with the idiot Queenie. It now feels like she is intentionally being incompetent. And the whining.......gads.

This tale brings some character life changes and Georgia seems to be maturing, a little. There was less focus on her being penniless and a Virgin and more on developing the character.

I wish there was more backstory provided on the historical ghosts. The book felt like the ending was rushed but that might be due to it continuing into book 10.

Not her best, Needs to dump Queenie

Revisado: 12-09-20

I wish the story stayed on the ocean liner and explored the glamour of the grand crossings. Once the story got to Los Angeles it got just too preposterous..... And why do we need the annoying and lazy Queenie? She adds nothing to the story and is like sitting by a person on a long plane ride with really bad flatulence.

An enjoyable distraction excluding awful Queenie

Revisado: 12-08-20

This was an enjoyable listen as I drove my dog to and from the vet for Chemotherapy. This was the first book that I did not figure out who the killer was until the dramatic reveal.

My only regret that is the dreadful Queenie has not improved her skills, is getting full of herself and I keep hoping she finds a poisoned scone. I am hoping that in the next book, which includes a ocean voyage, finds Queenie walking the plank or being washed overboard.
