Great narration and such a good storyline

Great storyline and narration. For me, narration is important as I have issues reading. It’s terrible getting older.

Re-read worthy!

I had read the series when I was about 12 years old, but saw it was a free credit on Audible… even 15 years later it’s still such a great read.

Good narrator Great story.

Where does Ninth Key rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I keep enjoying hearing Johanna Parker, she has a great voice and makes the stories come to life. She helps the Mediator Series come alive. Highly recommend!!!

What about Johanna Parker’s performance did you like?

Everything. She is very enjoyable.

Great Listen

This being her second book in the series is just as good as her first. The only downside is that she is a bit redundant in this book. In this story she fills you in with practically everything that happened in the previous book, so if you listened to the first book and then this one she rather wasted alot of time. After I got through with the outline of the first book this story line really took off. I hope she doesn't do that in the next book of the series, if you haven't heard the books in succesion than it would make you want to learn what happened in book 1.

I love this series!

In the second book in the Mediator series, Suze is settling in with her new family in California, and in her new school. Tad asks her out on a date and Suze is excited to be dating such a hot guy, until she meets his weird dad and even weirder assistant. And Jesse presents a mystery of his own.

I will never not love this series, it's always 5 stars from me. Although this is my least favorite of the Suze's mysteries, the ending always makes me tear up. Jesse and Suze have great chemistry, and I love them together. Suze still refuses help and makes some really bad judgment calls, but there's hope for her by the end.

This audiobook was recorded back in 2005, so it doesn't have the crispness of modern day audio, it reminds me of listening to cassette tapes back in the day. But the narrator does a good job and pulls me into the story.
