A Churn in the Virtual Society

Into the Churn

De: Hayley Reese Chow

Narrado por: Brogan Werder

Virtual Society is blowing up. (Figuratively.)

When Micah Belanger saw the word “disputed” pop up after her beloved Belethea Race Royale team won the biggest race in ’verse, all of VSoc heard her shriek. Add in four attempted murders, and she’s on a (virtual) warpath to set the record straight—as any true fangirl would.

Lowell Coppen, of The Royaler Review, is also concerned with the murderous rumors behind the latest BRR, especially with warnings of a system-wide war rippling through VSoc. Determined to shed light on the truth, Lowell, a self-proclaimed objective voice, forges a begrudging alliance with Belethea’s most manic fangirl. If their secret arrangement comes to light, it’ll ruin them both, but if they don’t get the story right, the lies could bring Belethea to its knees.

And falling in love isn’t helping at all.

OMGGG HAYLEYYYYY!!! I LOVE THEM!!

I’m so here to ship Micah and Lowell!! They’re so cute together!! Antagonists to reluctant allies to crushes to lovers, and it’s absolutely glorious!! Ah!

Hayley does a beautiful job of giving us all the background deets through Ezren’s best friend and VSoc logger Micah. Her passion and quirks and absolute delight for life shines through in each interaction. And she’s paired beautifully with the levelheaded, facts must win out, VSoc reviewer Lowell. Their banter is off the charts, and I cackled and giggles and kicked my feet together the whole way through. The SWOON is top notch between these two.

And a standing ovation for Brogan our audiobook narrator for completely making a BLIME adventure come to life. Love her effects and her voices and the way she imbeds emotion into each character and heart stopping moment.

I also appreciate the considerate commentary over how social media affects our every day lives. These characters show how to find the joy and truths among all the chaff. Thank you for that celebration.

I definitely needed more of Micah and Lowell and the Into the Churn ‘verse.

Highly recommend this series on audiobook!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SERIES- ESPECIALLY THE AUDIOBOOKS!

Hayley Reese Chow has done it again! I was instantly pulled into Micah and Lowell's story! I was swooning over all their communications and their sweet moments. It was fast paced and never a dull moment between them. Hayley's writing is so visual that I felt like I was right along side them in this adventure.

I loved getting some 'behind the scenes' moments from the main series and seeing it from Micah's and Lowell's. Plus being being from the POV of social media/reporting. Such a cool concept in this sci-fi world.

Brogan Werder (narrator) knocked this one out of the park. Her voice is incredible plus all addition of the sound effects to really make it feel like you are there with Micah and Lowell. Each character had their own clearly distinctive voice. Into the Churn series audiobooks will be a comfort listen to me. And I can't wait until my children are older to share this story with them.

Great addition to this series!

It was so satisfying to get Micah and Lowell’s story. We discover their secret relationship in book 3, Into the Abyss, but this novella shows us how they got together and all the activities outside of the main character’s tales in the other books.

Micah and Lowell are such a great couple! I also like the mini break into the hologram history world (pardon my forgetfulness of what it’s called). The description of the ocean, forest, and other places was amazing. It wasn’t a main plot point, but a fun escape.

I'LL MISS THIS SERIES!

I have loved every book in this series from Hayley Reese Chow and have been excited to read this final installment (please make sure you have read all of the other books to understand everything in here!!).

I loved this look into Micah and Lowell's lives and seeing the entire trilogy from their perspective in short bursts. There romance is really sweet and this was an easy read to listen and enjoy (I also thought the dash of sound effects were perfect for this type of book!).

I will definitely be reading whatever HRC writes next.

fodding loved it

I love these into the churn novellas! It's so fun to get other characters perspectives and to be back into the world of Belethea. After the last book in the series I was so hoping Micah and Lowell would get their own story!! There banter is my favorite and it was so fun to see things through their eyes. I was able to listen to the audio book thanks to Whimsical Publishing and I am so thankful and my opinions are my own but I love the narrator and all the sound effects make it more like radio theater then just an audio book.
