Long Black Curl

A Novel of the Tufa, Book 3

By: Alex Bledsoe

Narrated by: Stefan Rudnicki

Long Black Curl is the latest installment in Alex Bledsoe's acclaimed urban fantasy series, where magic is hidden in plain sight and age-old rivalries simmer just beneath the surface.

In all the time the Tufa have existed, only two have ever been exiled: Bo-Kate Wisby and her lover, Jefferson Powell. They were cast out, stripped of their ability to make music, and cursed to never be able to find their way back to Needsville. Their crime? A love that crossed the boundary of the two Tufa tribes, resulting in the deaths of several people.

Somehow, Bo-Kate has found her way back. She intends to take over both tribes, which means eliminating both Rockhouse Hicks and Mandalay Harris. Bo-Kate has a secret weapon: Byron Harley, a rockabilly singer known as the "Hillbilly Hercules" for his immense size and strength, who has passed the last 60 years trapped in a bubble of faery time. He's ready to take revenge on any Tufa he finds.

The only one who can stop Bo-Kate is Jefferson. Released from the curse and summoned back to Cloud County, even he isn't sure what will happen when they finally meet. Will he fall in love with her again? Will he join her on her quest to unite the Tufa under her rule? Or will he have to sacrifice himself to save the people who once banished him?

For the price, a really good book

For an included book, free for subscribers, this is an excellent listen. lt's an intriguing yarn, spun like a
cobweb to catch book flies like myself.

The reader provides a great telling of the story, a little more voice depth and I would have given him a five.

I hope you enjoy the book as much as I did.

rolling story entertwined expertly

what can I say besides I have enjoyed the first 3 books in this series. easy to get caught up in the story and just enough of the magical unknown to be deftly placed out in front of you like luring a mouse with fresh cheese. can hardly wait to start #4

Captivating story

It is a great story but the reader failed to convey the songs well. When a reader changes their voices to reflect the change in character and there is little difference it muddles the story. Otherwise, good story and highly recommend Alex Bledsoe.

Great book.

You smile all the time you are listening. The characters make you feel like you are in the band and will always play their music for you. Great book. The performance and storyline are fantastic Overall I give it a five star rating.

I love the voice of the Stephan Rodnicki

The sound of Mr. Rodnicki’s voice makes this book so enjoyable. The pace that is read bring intrigue to the story.
