I Can't wait for the next book

Would you listen to House of the Rising Sun again? Why?

Yes, I enjoyed the story and the narrator

What does Elijah Alexander bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

His voice is deep and sexy, it maid me fall in love with the male character, but he didn't trash the voices of the female characters, while doing it.

Could have been better

This book was well written but it lacked chemistry and charisma. I also felt as though the author made a bad choice by setting it in 2068. There wasn't much in the story to sell it as a futuristic novel.

great back drop and performance

enjoyed the story and the narration. excellent performance, already moving onto the next book in the series

This one has potential.

I really enjoyed it overall. It was a little slow for me. However, the story line was developing and the slow discussions were still helpful for the story. I really enjoyed the narration on this book.

House of the rising sun

Great new spin on the paranormal. Narration by a male for so many female voices was sometimes distracting but other than that I thought it has all the makings of a great new series by a great author we all love. 😉I hope you enjoy it!!!!
