The Things We Water

De: Mariana Zapata

Narrado por: Bradley Ford, Victoria Villarreal

Once upon a time, a girl found a magical puppy, and her life was never the same again.

Nina Popoca needs help.

So, so much of it.

The only place she can find that help is on a sprawling ranch in Colorado. A place hiding more than a community filled with magical creatures trying to live their lives in safety and in peace. A village that might hold the answers to questions she’s had her entire life.

And if that ranch is owned by her best friend’s hunky cousin?

There are worse things in the world than having to live right by Henri Blackrock.

Soooooo Good!

This was a brilliant story. I had read a couple of neg reviews just as this came out and was a bit worried, but this was as good as Zapata’s previous best works, Luna, Winnipeg, and Rhodes. Seriously. If you like Zapata’s books, and you are open to a magical world, you’ll love this. I wish all the other romance authors in the world would read Zapata, and then write more books with engaging, fleshed out stories and slow burns like she does.
The female narrator was EXCELLENT. The male narrator voiced the MMC very well, but let the book down by not using alternate voices for secondary characters. I think he tried to use a different inflection for Franklin, but it wasn’t consistent. I really noticed the lack of differentiation for Duncan and Matty (Maddy?) though, and this took me out of the story a few times. I don’t understand why the producer wouldn’t have taken a minute to workshop the voice for Duncan, when he’s such an important, but unusual, character. The book deserved a bit more attention to detail. Luckily because the narrator did the MMC so well, he didn’t bring the story down too much.
Highly recommended. Thank you!

Love

So good

An amazing book from one of my favorite authors. Definitely one I will be consuming over and over again.

Mariana does it AGAIN

This is my first book on Audiobook a d I could not be happier that I chose a Mariana Zapata book. This plot yanked me in from the first chapter and made my commute to and from work so much better. I didnt want it to end!
