Lol Funny with Dark Situations

First- Angel Clark does a PERFECT job as Avery. She captures Avery’s immature side well. I love how Avery is so full of herself but gets her comeuppance often. She does seem more reflective/self-aware as the stories progress. This is my second time through the series of 20+ books.

Love this series!

The audible version has a great narrator and as always Avery Shaw is hilarious!

I love all the characters in this series and "family dinner"

Fun stories

The stories were great, but the audio editing could use a little work. There are multiple repetitive lines throughout the books.

The editing

There are a lot of repeats in this reading, whom ever edited it did not do a very good job. It a good thing the books themselves are so good.

Interesting storylines, frustrating editin

I actually am enjoying this series, which at first I didn’t think I could keep with it. The biggest frustration was, as others have stated, is the poor editing of the audio. The first couple of times I thought I had backed up the audio and was hearing a repeat. I knew it was like a skipping record when it happened over and over. As a paying customer, that’s just a poor product delivery.

Enjoyable Series

This is an enjoyable series. It is a typical light hearted chic lit book series. The characters are fun to follow and will make you laugh out loud. It is not trashy or over sexually oriented, you don't have to worry if your kids hear you listening to the books.

Excellent

This storyline was excellent. The best of this series. Angel Clark’s portrayal of the large cast of characters was outstanding.

Good Story & Narration

Avery’s life is a mess, and who does like her if anyone. From the new publisher and the staff at the newspaper, to her love life. Enjoyable and with good narration. Given audio for my voluntary review

Yikes!

I like the Avery Shaw mysteries... but oh my goodness, this narrator is tough to continue listening to! Her cadence is off and nearly every guy-voice is high pitched and nasal.

It doesn't help that SEVERAL places have repeats from unedited recordings. I suffered through them, but I don't look forward to getting Book 7 through Audible. I'll probably bite the bullet and get the ebook.

As for the story, Book 6 may be my favorite as far as Avery's character development is concerned. I've wanted to like her from the get-go, but it was difficult in some of the earlier books... there was no end to her anger and it was starting to grate. At least in the last book in this series we see her anger and feisty nature doing more than upsetting her mother and making random people want to do her bodily harm.

Looking forward to more mysteries and more character development in future books!

*SPOILER ALERT* I don't know what it is with the name Ariel (perhaps the author has an arch nemesis and is immortilizing her in several bad characters or maybe The Little Mermaid was traumatic...) but it seems to pop up somewhere in nearly every book... for different characters... I think Book 6 also breaks this mold, unless I just blocked it out. : )

Great story line, some editing problems

I love the characters Amanda M. Lee creates in her stories. The reason I didn’t give it higher for performance is because there are a lot of areas where the editing is done poorly and sometimes there are parts that are repeated multiple times.
