Resumen del Editor

Snuggle up with three delightful tales of dogs and drinks from the minds of New York Times bestselling authors Delilah S. Dawson, Kevin Hearne, and Chuck Wendig.

Oberon the Irish wolfhound and his Boston terrier buddy, Starbuck, not only witness humans waste perfectly good sausage, but also a sneaky murder committed right before their eyes in THE CHARTREUSE CHANTEUSE by Kevin Hearne. Justice demands that someone pay for both crimes, and together with their Druid, Atticus O'Sullivan, and D.I. Rose Badgely of the Launceston police, they'll show the dastardly villain they messed with the wrong good dogs.

THE BARTENDER AND THE BEAST introduces the enchanting world of Arcadia Falls, the setting for Delilah S. Dawson's return to Paranormal Romance. When no-nonsense bartender Cassia King returns to her sleepy hometown in the Georgia mountains to help her sister, she can’t help falling for well-dressed wildlife rehabilitator Riley. But as Cash learns, Arcadia Falls has a secret, and so does the bar's rescue pit bull, Peach Pit...

In WHISKEY SOUR by Chuck Wendig, It was the end of the world and Harry Campbell wanted a drink. He's one of the few who remained in Ouray, Colorado, after everything went to hell—and has decided to willfully fall off the wagon and find a way to make a cocktail he once loved, the whiskey sour. His quest to make a drink will take him beyond the borders of Ouray and into the world fallen under the shadow of the now-gone White Mask disease. But, he won't do it alone—Shepherd Marcy Reyes lends him the courage and pluck of the golden retriever known as Gumball to help him stay alive and stay sane in the process. But Harry's journey holds a greater, more secret purpose—he has questions that remain unanswered about what the rogue AI called Black Swan did to them all, and he intends to have those answers, even if they change him, and perhaps the world, forever.

Fun listen

Really enjoyed the stories and narrators. Would love to see Oberon get his own book of meaty mysteries.

Woot! I love a good anthology

THE CHARTREUSE CHANTEUSE by Kevin Hearne, narrated by Luke Daniels- Fantastic story! When the gang is out for drinks and treats and by treats, I mean tasty sausages on a chartreuse board, things go topsy-turvy with not one but two murders. D.I. Rose Badgely is investigating. When Oberon observes something, it leads Atticus to reveal his own secrets. I had a blast with this one from beginning to end. We even got to see some old friends and catch up. Daniels does a stellar job of capturing Oberon’s enthusiasm, as well as delivering the voices of these beloved characters. 5 cups of coffee.

THE BARTENDER AND THE BEAST by Delilah S. Dawson narrated by Shana Pennington-Baird. In this paranormal story, Dawson introduces listeners to Arcadia Falls where we meet bartender, Cassia King, her sister and wildlife rehabilitator Riley. We also met the adorable rescue pug, Peach Pit, who spends her evenings on a cushy chair at the bar. Dead bodies and trouble from Cassia’s past made for an intriguing introduction. I am excited to return to this small Georgia town. Pennington-Baird captured Cassia’s spunk and the voice of the other characters making listening my first choice. 4.5 cups of coffee.

WHISKEY SOUR by Chuck Wendig narrated by Adam Verner. This story takes place in the Wanderers world. We go back to Ouray, Colorado and the events in this story take place after book two, Wayward. Harry Campbell, a recovering alcoholic and the town’s bartender, decides he is going to have a drink and not just any. He wants a Whiskey Sour, but to do that, he’ll need to go beyond the borders of their town and seek the fruit man. This was an interesting story as Harry travels with Gumball, a golden retriever provide by Shepard. As he travels, Harry is also in search of answers about Black Swan and what he did to humanity. This was a dark, thoughtful tale that I enjoyed. Verner did a great job bringing voice to Harry as he contemplated his existence. 4 cups of coffee.

Raining cats and dogs

The Hearne short story is the highlight. The other stories were just ok. Had a hard time engaging with the other two stories.

Oberon is the best!

I came for stories about Oberon and Atticus from Kevin Hearn. I was not disappointed! The second story, by Miss Dawson was good, but the third was honestly sort of boring and didn’t really have a conclusion.

voices are wrong.

he got the voice of Atticus wrong. it irritates me when they get a new narrator and they get the voices wrong or the names mispronounced, but this was the same narrator... and he got the main characters voice wrong!!! very dissatisfied.
