    Detective Lindsay Boxer's long-awaited wedding celebration becomes a distant memory when she is called to investigate a horrendous crime: a badly injured teenage girl is left for dead, and her newborn baby is nowhere to be found. Lindsay discovers that not only is there no trace of the criminals - but that the victim may be keeping secrets as well.

    The ever after, the demonic realm that parallels our own, is shrinking, and if it disappears, so does all magic. It’s up to witch-turned-daywalking-demon Rachel Morgan to fix the ever-after before the fragile balance between magic users and humans fails. Of course, there’s also the small fact that she caused the ley line to rip in the first place, and her life is forfeit unless she can fix it.

    Story

    The story was disconnected and rambling. It would go chapters about seemingly unimportant subjects. When it did come back to the original story line, it was confusing and vague. The characters talked over each other and it became irritating and confusing. I felt this was one instance were the written book might have been more enjoyable. The voices of the different characters were distracting, and seemed to be at odds with each other.

    A Signature Performance: Elijah Wood becomes the first narrator to bring a youthful voice and energy to the story, perhaps making it the closest interpretation to Twain’s original intent.

    New York Times best-selling author Diana Gabaldon enchanted scores of fans with Outlander, her electrifying historical saga set in 18th-century Scotland. Now this sequel sweeps listeners back into the past as Claire relates more of her perilous sojourn there with her Scottish warrior husband, James Fraser. Twenty years after her strange journey back in time, Claire has returned to Scotland with her daughter, determined to share with her the secret she has harbored since her time travel.

    Why we think it’s a great listen: An all-time Audible favorite that mixes historic fiction, adventure, and romance with one of the most fascinating literary devices: time travel. Outlander introduces an exhilarating world of heroism and breathtaking thrills as one woman is torn between past and present, passion and love. In 1945, former combat nurse Claire Randall returns from World War II and joins her husband for a second honeymoon. But their blissful reunion is shattered....

    If you could sum up Outlander in three words, what would they be?

    Interesting historical fiction


    What was one of the most memorable moments of Outlander?

    The life of characters durning this time period. The people think Clair is a witch, because of her knowledge.


    What about Davina Porter’s performance did you like?

    She was Great. She brings a whole new level of enjoyment to audio books.


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

    Yes, but it is way to long to try it.


    Any additional comments?

    Tried to listen to whole series. I think it would take months. Hard to find that much free time
