Fabulous

Accidentally purchased this whith another book same title. This was absolutely a great read! A little bit of steam, mystery, thrill! Don’t pass it up!

Sweeny, the Reluctant Psychic Painter

I really enjoyed this title and am so glad it is finally available in an unabridged format. This is one of the older Linda Howard titles and the story is somewhat dated but still very enjoyable. Sweeny, raised by careless parents who reveled in emotional excess has worked hard to live a controlled life on her own terms, which is reflected in the delicate and deliberate aesthetic shown in her paintings. When she unexpectedly receives extra paranormal "gifts" she is most thrown by the way they have altered her artistic style. But then the psychic gifts and her artistic abilities begin to merge, and Sweeny is deeply afraid of the changes. The hero is typical Howard in that he is a strong, alpha male character who moves the romantic plot line forward at amazing speed, but he is interesting all the same. His situation adds a lot of twists to the plot and I found him to be an interesting and likable character. There are some twists at the end of the story that keep the mystery and suspense interesting. Still one of my favorites of Linda Howard's older stories.

Surprising

Linda Howard books

One of my favorites

Wonderful story by one of my favorite authors, good narrator.
I've listened to this multiple times.

Use New 1.25x speed

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Not sure, I have to re-listen to book using the new speed. This has a good story line and author is one of my all time faves. This reader needs the new speed to give the full impact of author's words.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Now You See Her?

when our hero is in the apartment with 100 degrees of heat to help

What three words best describe Laurel Lefkow’s performance?

Not sure, but I think this reader is AKA Susan Deneker. I have mixed feelings about her reads if this is indeed her. Susan reads the only Judith McNaught Audible has and I have grown to like it as J.M. is the best writer.

A favorite Linda Howard book!

I’ve read this book numerous times, and looked forward to listening to it. I enjoy the storyline, and Richard and Sweeney as MCs. In listening though, I found the narration distracting. Most of the book was done in a low, breathy whisper as though we needed to be continually reminded that this was suspenseful and paranormal. The conversations between Sweeney and Richard are some favorite parts, but they didn’t come across well. There wasn’t enough differentiation between their voices, so it was just being read, not performed. The narrator has a nice voice and I would certainly try her again she just didn’t add to this book for me.

Very visual....annnnd textile....Fun & Relaxing

At first I couldn't quite identify with the characters. But as the main character developed I was hooked! :)
