THE EVER AFTER

"Once a runner always a runner" should be the theme for this novell as Rachael never quit gets away from being manipulated into doing just that. Th characterization of each individuals are well defined to the plot of the storyline and keeps me wanting to know what twist and turn is coming and how will the heroine fair in surviving another supernatural onslaught. I love the narrator's performance for the story and excellent vocal skills.

Great addition

It's really fun to watch all the trouble our main character gets herself into. Her and Ivy's relationship goes through a lot in this book

Very good, but…

The story was excellent. My only issue with this book was the over-explaining of every little detail. It was just too much this time. I hope the next book moves along better. Otherwise, I loved it.

A five way pentagon standoff- good times

Especially in the early books, I feel like these would play better with some ruthless editing.
However, I like that the plot thickens and the good, bad and the undead from the title sometimes describes the same characters at different points- I do so love my complex characters of dubious allegiance and even more dubious intentions.

It definitely helps to listen to this close to book 1, because many of the entanglements started there.
It’s witch vs demon vs vampire vs elf vs human … and then some.

My slight criticism is that I was hoping that being older, and having a vampire and pixie in her corner would mean smart detecting, teamwork, and strategizing against the other players. Sadly, most of this story is Rachel responding to circumstances, flailing around, and generally getting the short end of the stick. She succeeds from dumb luck or other’s actions, and makes a lot of unsafe choices for someone supposedly wise to magic.

A great read!

I am probably the slowest listener in the history of Audible! For me, that's a result of one of Audible's best features. While I still read printed books, Audible represents perhaps 95% of my "reading". I have found that the more I like the Author/title/narrator combination, the longer it takes me to complete the book. Unlike reading a printed book there are no more dog-eared pages. If for any number of reasons where I've been unable to listen for some time I will backtrack a chapter and re-listen to get my mind back into the storyline. I found on occasions that I discover much to my delight that I missed an important nuance and I find myself having an ah-ha moment!

As I progress through " The Hollows" series of Ms. Harrison with Marquerite Gavin narrating I've come to the realization that I'd best prepare for a nice long and slow listen! I listened to the first title of this series and was intrigued. Midway through this title, I was well and truly hooked on "The Hollows!"

There are quite likely those within the Audible community that eschew authors such as Ms. Harrison and the books that she has quite successfully had published and which now are subsequently picked up on Audible. These are the readers that prefer " literature" and believe that anything with a hint of mass-market appeal is beneath them. These are the wine snobs of the reading public!

In 1970, I was a not yet disillusioned young Field Artilleryman stationed in Vietnam. There were paperback books that were so enjoyable that they were passed from hand to hand; soon to be held together by rubber bands and tape. Some became so "war-torn" that entire pages had to be carefully transcribed by hand before the page became totally indecipherable! But they continued to be passed on. The cardinal sin was either failing to pass it on or worse yet losing it entirely. If Ms. Harrison was writing of The Hollows in that way back time, I've no doubts but that her books would be of the war-torn, rubberbanded, and taped! As long as she keeps writing, I'll keep reading. In my estimation that makes for a pretty good working relationship. I have the rubber bands and tape ready at hand! I had plenty of practice.
