Smokeshow

Smoke Series, Book 1

De: Abbi Glines

Narrado por: Ingrid Greene

Hughes Farm was the largest racing-horse establishment in the South. The family that owned it was known to be wealthy, powerful, arrogant, and terrifying. My first encounter with them didn’t prepare me for all that was to come. I don’t think anything truly could have.

Growing up with only my father and brother hadn’t been easy, but we’d had each other. Losing them was the hardest thing I’d ever faced. It had made the times we went without food, electricity, or even shelter seem insignificant in comparison.

It's when a woman, claiming to have been my mother’s best friend, arrives to take me home with her that questions begin to surface. My father had rarely spoken of my mother. She’d died when I was a toddler. Having no other option, I trust this stranger and am thrown into a world of mansions, racing horses, extravagance, and him.

It’s true that there's a thin line between love and hate. But there's an even thinner line between truth and lies.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Narrator Ingrid Greene plunges listeners into a Southern world of wealth, horse racing, and power [...] listeners will be on the edge of their seats with the audiobook’s cliff-hanger suspense."—Audiofile Magazine

Good First Listen

This is my first book by Abbi. I had been wanting to read her books for a while. But when I met her this spring, I made sure to move her books up on my list.

I listened to this audio and enjoyed it even though it was only a female narrator. Ingrid does really well with doing this book and both POVs. There were not many POVs from the male, so that made it better.

I really liked the characters and their story. It was easy to follow, and the characters are all likable.

This is a great start to a series and will hook you. You will not be able to stop at one book. This one ends on a cliffhanger of sorts, and you will want to know what happens.

I enjoyed reading the book but I hate cliff hangers. I love series but I like for them to finish the book. I’m also not big on books about mobsters. I hope they aren’t into selling drugs. They didn’t really get into exactly what kind of mob they are.

unique concept and smexy cowboys

4.75 / 5 stars!
I have read some YA books from Abbi Glines, so I was curious what her 'grown up' books would be like, and I was impressed! The plot twist (insert mind blown emoji!) It was angsty, refreshing, and I now want a horse and a dark cowboy myself. I love how possessive the MMC became after his initial alphahole era. I can't wait to finish this series!

I’ve pre-ordered book 2

Extremely well written. I could not stop listening. I would give it a five if it had been recorded with both female and male narrators. The female is very good though.
