Death Dates the Oracle

Nocturne Falls, Book 15

De: Kristen Painter

Narrado por: B.J. Harrison

Welcome to Nocturne Falls, the town that celebrates Halloween 365 days a year.

The tourists think it's all a show: the vampires, the werewolves, the witches, the occasional gargoyle flying through the sky. But the supernaturals populating the town know better.

Living in Nocturne Falls means being yourself. Fangs, fur, and all.

Eamon Underwood isn’t what you’d call a social butterfly. In fact, he avoids people altogether, outside of his job at his uncle’s funeral home, where Eamon is the mortician. For him, being around the dead is easier than being around the living. Mostly because of his very curious gift that enables him to see just how long a person has left to live. That knowledge makes personal interaction far too difficult.

Until he meets Troula Kouris. And sees...nothing.

Troula comes to Nocturne Falls to join her crazy-cat-lady aunts as an oracle, one of the rare descendants of the original Greek oracles. She’s been preparing for it all of her life. Unfortunately, just before she leaves for Nocturne Falls, she gets an ominous prediction that leads her to believe becoming an oracle could be fatal. Or maybe the real danger is the darkly handsome neighbor who lives next door.

When Troula and Eamon make a curious connection that leads to romance, it seems the fates want them together, despite the risks. Can a little orange kitten really solve all of their problems? Or will it all end in a catastrophe?

Anyone who knows me knows that I love a great book and this book does not disappoint! Kristen Painter does it again! This book is funny, exciting, intriguing, and a great book! And as always B.J. Harrison does this book good! I am in love with this series and author! Do yourself a favor and give this book a listen!

I think I love it?

The ending is what I imagine my dreams are if I did drugs. I mean not to spoil anything but I did not see that coming and the image of the future is so wacky to envision. However, I love the characters and how this series is always bringing in other characters and their stories, something Ms. Painter is very talented in. The cats are a lovely touch and it's amazing to see the bond their people have with them. I do cherish the details in this book and Kristen Painters talent lining my shelves.

Another great NF story!!

As always, Kristen gave us another amazing story that BJ brought to life. I always feel like I'm watching a movie play out in my head. we've been in NF so long, I feel like I can envision every part of it, and the people.

Well written, great pace, and kept me hooked the entire way through.

And BJ, once again, gave us an amazing performance.

My rating scale:
5☆ - I loved this book and it brought out true emotion in me (laughter, anger, a good cry, etc)
4☆ - I loved this book.
3☆ - I liked this book.
2☆ - I didn't really care for this book.
1☆ - I did not like this book at all and probably did not finish it.

She do it again

I have been a huge fan of Kristen painter for a long time and have all of the nocturn falls books. I have to say this is one of my top 6 in the series I wish I could read it for the first time again

Another great addition to one of my favorite series

Kristen Painter has done it again with this latest addition to her Nocturne Falls series. Great storyline with characters you instantly like. Kristen keep your creative mind a-rollin’. Love your series !!😺😸

Why did it have to end?!?

Being mostly of Greek decent, I loved the theme of this book.

I make all the food mentioned except pastitsio because I can’t stand the way it tastes. Made Chicken Kapama and Greek Easter Bread for Greek Easter. I was eating Koularakia (that I also made) while reading this (it’s made with anise, haven’t ever tasted one that had orange)

My grandmother and biomom used to have a blue eye amulet and often cursed people.

I had a cat named Cloe who I bottle fed from 10 days old. Named for alternative translation of “blooming” in Greek.

My Aunts always fed us a snack before breakfast, breakfast, an after breakfast snack. A pre lunch snack, lunch, a post lunch snack, appetizers, dinner, dessert, and before bed cookies…. Every day 😂

Ouzo always led to poor decisions and regrets but I add it into nearly every recipe 😂

Just love all these things that remind me of happy memories.

Bj Harrison’s Scottish brogue is absolutely dreamy!

My only complaint is that it ended. I would have loved the book to continue for another couple hundred pages (or more!)

Another Entertaining Story!

Loved this story as much as the others in this series! I never get tired of B J Harrison’s soothing narration that brings each character to life! I want more!!

Great story

Nice pace to the story very relaxing read and story love the narrator as best one listened to yet

Wonderful story

I enjoyed this book as well as all others in the series. Great writing and story!
