Carrots

Shelby Nichols Adventures, Book 1

De: Colleen Helme

Narrado por: Wendy Tremont King

A mind-reader, a mob-boss, and a hit-man. What could go wrong? More fun than you can imagine!

"One of the best and rarest gems of the indie book market." (Matthew LeDrew)

Stopping at the grocery store for carrots shouldn't be dangerous, but for Shelby Nichols, it changes her life forever. During a bank robbery, she is caught in the cross-fire and grazed by a bullet to the head, leaving her with the ability to read minds.

Not only is she hearing what everyone thinks about her, but the gunman who shot her is out to silence her forever. In her fight to stay alive she is saved from certain death by a handsome hit-man with ties to organized crime.

This pulls Shelby even deeper into danger, where knowing someone's thoughts can not only hurt her feelings, but get her killed.

USA Today and Wall Street Journal best-selling author Colleen Helme offers a clever mix of mystery, laugh-out-loud humor, and pause-resisting adventure in the highly acclaimed Shelby Nichols Adventure Series.

Narrator too whiny... slow and meek.

What did you like best about Carrots? What did you like least?

The story is a light, but good read. The narrator pulled it down... it could have been a lot better listen.

Would you be willing to try another book from Colleen Helme? Why or why not?

Yes

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Wendy Tremont King?

Lorelei King, Therese Plummer... someone with more pep, and a difference in men and women voices.

Did Carrots inspire you to do anything?

maybe pay more attention to body language

Light and entertaining

What did you like best about Carrots? What did you like least?

It was light, easy to follow, uncomplicated. It didn't require too much from the listener/reader. This is the perfect book to listen to when you need a break from more intense reading material.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

No, I think if this were a movie, they'd have to make more oriented towards young adults, like a spin off of "Veronica Mars".

Nice

A nice beginning with a quirky character. Shelby Nichols drove me crazy with her ineptitude in dealing with her powers in the beginning. At the end she is more wise into how to use her abilities, instead of being used by others and making others uncomfortable. I am going to try the next one. Remember I said quirky, this is not a high level, fast pace, ass kicking woman. She is a housewife. The most action she did was punch someone on the arm.

Ok but no cigar

The narrator could have made the listening experience ever so much better. The story is clever but the heroine is a bit ditzy and occasionally unbelievably dumb. Good for company while driving.

Gangsters and lawyers, oh my.

Loved all the books and purchased them on Kindle. So now am starting the series on Audible.
Wendy King does an excellent job on narration.
Her voices are spot on for the characters. Dialects, and voices to me are spot on with the author's storyline.You will not be disappointed, buy the book and read it.
Better yet buy both and follow along with with Windy's narrative.
