Follow me down the rabbit hole...

Some authors write in a rather One dimensional universe, and that's not necessarily a bad thing, but as I dive into Gwendolyn Druyor's books, I've discovered that her envisioned universe is much, much more than that!
If you follow me down the rabbit hole which Druyor has dug for us, you'll see that one story follows a Were-human, while another has a tooth fairy, and then this particular story (Dee), is from a Banshee's point of view... A Banshee who happens to be a cop! Best of all, the books I've read are complete stand-alones, but if you read just one, I expect that you're gonna be hooked, and you'll soon feel the need to read Druyor's other, delightfully "wyrdo" books!
And Gwendolyn Druyor's voice acting is fantastic...

Great Quick Read

Any additional comments?

Dee: A Wyrdos Tale by Gwendolyn Druyor was a good quick read. There is a group of Wyrdos that are banding together to save the city. Dee is someone that will care for you when you die even if no one else will. I can't wait to read more by Gwendolyn Druyor.

Short Story

It was my first book by Gwendolyn Druyor. This is the first book in the Wyrdos Tale. This is a short story, interesting, captivating and strange. The story is well written and the storyline is fast-paced and intriguing. The narration is great and easy to listen. I love Gwendolyn Druyor's voice. I received this free copy audiobook comment at my request and I voluntarily left this review.

Twisty!

I received a copy of this audio short story from the author – my thanks. I really enjoyed the story, really enjoyed the world-building that went into it. I also loved what I thought was the "gimmick", if you will, in which the entire story was basically a verbatim transcript of a psychology session police detective Dierdre Morton) Dee is required by policy to undergo following the loss of her partner. It was so well done, for the most part – economically told, with a fine balance between exposition and world-building. My only quibble was that there were a few times I was pushed away from the story, figuratively speaking, because the language was definitely that of a short story and not that of someone telling a story out loud to another person. Even I don't speak like that, and I'm weird. (Not Wyrd, though.)

The only other place where the concept fell down a bit was toward the end of the ninety minute story, when Dr. Anne Pershing mentions that over three hours have gone by. My brain hiccupped for a second, because it sure seemed like real time.

But these are quibbles. Gwendolyn Druyor's writing is lovely, funny in unexpected places and moving in other unexpected places, and always smart. And I love the idea for the series: people with unusual powers or abilities "passing" as ordinary citizens, stepping up and banding together to save the world. It's been done before, sure, but that's because it's so much fun when it's done well. As it is here.

And I love the mystery of what really happened to Kyle. And the twist in the tale… so well done. So very well done.

And I love the author's narration. I'm a fan.

I received a copy of this story in audio format directly from the author – thank you!

Must read/listen

I have listened to this book several times over the years and each time l find it an amazing story that is beautiful narrated. Recommended.

Extremely good

This book was extremely good. The writer does a wonderful job writing the characters and building them up. I only wish that the story was longer, it went by too fast.

Quality production.

I got a code for review from a website that distributes them for that purpose.

The sound quality is great. No errors and a clean read. I think the acting was underwhelming. Author is the narrator so I get saving money and doing it yourself and it wasn’t horrible at all it just could have been a little better.

I enjoyed this until the big ending scene, I felt that there were simply way too many paranormal characters packed into the bar. And the place should have been leveled.

The main character and her therapist were good and I enjoyed all of the banshee stuff.

4 stars

If the other books didn’t look to be the same night from other viewpoints I probably would listen to another but... this one was enough for me.

Unique Fantasy

This short book has a LOT packed into it; a unique world (well built), excellent character development, plot twists, and plenty of action! Highly recommended...

Amazing twist and turns

This book was well written and developed from the storyline to the characters. Dee puts a new spin on the fae and how alike we are. I highly recommend this book because you will not see the end coming. I received this book from Audiobooks Unleashed for free and this is my honest opinion.
