Love, love, love.

This is one author on my list that always gets an automatic buy. It doesn't matter what she writes i have loved it all. I really like her writing style and I can't wait for more.

One of my favorite series

I have loved the hands of time series! It is by far one of my favorite series and is read by my favorite narrator of all her books. Of irina Shapiro’s books my favorites have been this series, the inheritance, the wonderland series, house on the hill and haunted ground.

Better than outlander

There is a lot more time travel and it’s really very exciting to watch this time traveling family grow through many generations and in many eras. Well worth a listen!

Plot twists Galore

Great story lines and plot twists but so many things I had to pause and collect my thoughts, the stories became frantic and jumbled with so much going on. But in great Shapiro fashion she unfolds everything without giving away too much and allowing for surprises here and there. Loved the stories the only draw back is how the sound is recorded and the narration. It sounds like words and sentences were recorded and edited in at different times but I guess diesnt hinder the story, just sounds strange from time to time.

Delightfully entertaining

The story does a good job of holding your attention and keeping you anticipating the next events. Irina Shapiro, again, weaves a tale that is satisfying and interesting with twists and turns that make the reader want more. The narration could have been a little more interesting with distinction between the characters. It was more like having a story read by a librarian. In spite of this, the tale is captivating.
