Resumen del Editor

Tormented by the fate she condemned her mother to, and by the lies she's forced to tell to cover it up, Adele scours Storm-ravaged New Orleans for the truth about her family's magical past. But every turn leads her back to the one person she's determined to forget: Niccolò Medici. Not even the multitude of enchanted locks on the attic door trapping Nicco within can break their connection.

Sensing Nicco calling to Adele, Isaac tries relentlessly to keep her from exploring paths too dark that would endanger them all. But a new threat is rising: the Medici's presence has attracted something else to New Orleans...an older enemy, one that will bring Isaac's haunted past to life, test the witches' friendships, and jeopardize Adele and Isaac's blossoming relationship.

In this spellbinding continuation of The Casquette Girls saga, Adele must draw on the past - from seventeenth-century Florence, a time bubbling with alchemy and fraternal betrayal - and sort history from fantasy if she is to have any chance of saving her mother, her coven, and her magic.

bon temps!!

Loved this book!! can not wait for the next installment!! I can feel New Orleans when I read this book. great characters, wonderful story.

Huge book hangover!

The Romeo Catchers is beautifully written and will have you hooked from the first words. Alys Arden has a gift for words and I always feel like I'm part of the story. Kate Rudd and P. J. Ochlan did an amazing job of bringing the story & characters to life.

Praying for a 3rd??

super entertaining with a huge build up and then fell short. I am praying for 3rd book for some closure on the characters

The romeo catcher grabbed you.

Absolutely amazing book. Love the Narration. This story drag you in and makes you feel like you're right there.

Loved it!

Love all the books in the series. Kate Rudd does a great job as always. P. J. Ochlan sounds angry and whiney with his voices. Still worth listening to!

Good sequel, I enjoyed it

The female narrator is great, even her male voices aren’t annoying or grating. The male narrator isn’t bad, but when he was speaking Isaac’s parts, he just had this constant state of sounding constipated. Like he was trying really hard to either push something out or keep it in. I know most of Isaac’s parts were tense situations, but not all of them were, yet he sounded the same every time. His accents were pretty good, and it was only marginally creepy when he did the voices of the young girls.

I liked the story and how well it blended from the first story into the second. Maybe it’s because I’m not a teenager, but I don’t get Adele’s decision in the end of the story. It seemed pretty extreme. Also, the parts where the older males (Isaac and Nico) would basically fantasize about sexual interactions with Adele, a 16 year old, were problematic, to say the least. But I get it, vampires swoony swoon witches swoon voodoo.

What a wonderful ride.

Would you consider the audio edition of The Romeo Catchers to be better than the print version?

I am a huge fan of audiobooks. If they have a great narrator you can feel as if you have been taken away to another place. This is how this book made me feel. Both of the narrators do a wonderful job.

Have you listened to any of Kate Rudd and P. J. Ochlan ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have listened to Kate Rudd before. I think she is a great narrator. She was the narrator for the first book in this series and did a wonderful job with it as well. This was the first time I have had the pleasure of a P.J. Ochlan narration. I am going to have to see what other books he narrates.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

For me this would be a great book for a long road trip. So I could listen to it the whole time and never have to worry about finding a good radio station.

Any additional comments?

When I read or listen to a book I want to feel as though I have been taken away to where ever the book is. Alys Arden does that in both books in this series. She can create such a wonderful picture with here words. I could see the streets of New Orleans post-storm, and I could feel what the characters were feeling. I know that is the writing and the narration going so well together. Such a great follow-up to the first book and I need the third book asap.

The Best Series Ever!!!

I have the book and the audiobook and I love them both. The performance is wonderful and the book....is amazing.

Good story. Teenage angst.

Teenage angst could have been toned down. Way down. It really took away from the story which was actually really good. The male performer did a good job but really didn't fit the image. He sounded more like an angry wolverine than a teenage boy that he was supposed to be. The story was good though.

Great story but...

the voice the female used to portray the make characters was a little annoying for me.
