Disappointing

If you like to Listen to 17-year-old reading harlequin type romances, then you will enjoy this. If not don’t bother, it’s a waste of money and time. There was some plot however but not enough to save it. I’m normally a huge fan but won’t be listening to this one again.

Intriguing retun to to Fogg Lake

Fun and enjoyable revisit to old friends from other books and catch a glimpse of new family connections .

Another fabulous story

I love JAK’s world and characters. It’s so nice to get lost for a little while in a place where the bad guys (and gals) get what they deserve and the good guys get their happy endings.

Loves this author

Can't wait for the next book in the series. Loves all her books under all the names she writes under.

Different

I enjoyed the book. It was different but entertaining. Looking forward to reading the next one I. The series

Nice segue

The beginning off this Fogg Lake series was confusing. A whole separate group of psychic conspirators- why? But I guess one of the main themes through all of Jayne’s worlds is that psychic talents are normal and not everyone can be part of an ancient secret organization so I decided to go with it. Both of these books seem a little disjointed and at a sort of high school level of sophistication. If you’ve read many of Jayne’s books you will recognize a number of familiar plot devices but that doesn’t keep you from enjoying the experience. I think I would have preferred to read it though, because the narrator nearly does. Her reading is adequate with only a few misspoken words (why don’t they fix that in production-I can’t be the only one who noticed), but her breathy choppy delivery sounds much too young. I get that some of Jayne’s usual narrators are getting too old for these stories-Barbara Rosenblatt for example so a new narrator for this series was a good plan, but this one sounds like a high school kid. That said, she does a good job of differentiating the characters and her male voices aren’t bad either.
All in all a medium effort by JAK with a nice preview of the next book that means I’ll go on with the series.

Another wonderful weekend read

An all nighter. DON'T START THIS BOOK IN THE EVENING. I regret to admit that I wasn't able to stay awake long enough to finish this wonderful book. I conked out with about 90 minutes left. Not to worry it's been a rainy weekend so far so I have been able to stay in bed and finish. Bad weather doesn't stop dedicated readers.

Paranormal delight

I so enjoyed the first Fogg Lake book and the second book I love even more. Sandra Michelle, the narrator did a superb job with all the different character voices in this book, and there were a lot of characters. I loved the banter between the main characters and the plot twisted and turned many times. A very enjoyable listen for me.

Way better!! Good job JAK

I was weary of buying this book because I felt only mehh about the first one of the blue stone series but I’m glad I took a chance. I enjoyed this story a lot. The first story irritated me because it felt like a miss mash of harmony and arcane books but seemingly disregarded the books I’ve spent years reading. However this book made mention of arcane and the Jones clan. I personally find it hard to swallow that a paranormal organization called the foundation has no prior knowledge of the powerful Jones family or the arcane society but it is what it is. Just those few mentions gave me hope that the series will in some time blend eventually. My personal hope is that this series becomes the origin story of harmony and ghost hunters guild, but that’s just a little wishful fan fantasy. The only reason I gave the performance a four star was because the readers voice could get painfully screechy at times. All in all, good story, good performance and I’m looking forward to the next book.

JAK is always a good buy....

really love her books...she always waves a good tale that keeps me interested. Waiting on the next one
