Love this couple!

Wow just wow! Nick and Carly are awesome! This is another one of McLean’s amazing books that you don’t want to miss.

Casi McLean totally rocked my world with this amazing segment! Let me just start with the fact that this story is beyond complex and Casi did an amazing job writing it. Amy Deuchler did this book justice in her portrayal of these amazing characters. The tone was perfect and the whole production flowed beautifully.

I am in such awe of these stories! I seriously have no idea how these captivating characters caught my heart so much. If I could journey back through time, I’m pretty sure I would. I love how they all brought an understanding to don’t step on butterflies too. This book just really puts life into perspective and even humanity as a whole. I seriously cannot wait to journey into the next installment. I’m already on the edge of my seat from that tiny tidbit mentioned at the end… that’s right you must read it first to truly understand what I mean. Sorry for teasing you! I hope you enjoy this story in remembrance of 911 and cherish your loved ones.

Beyond the Mist

Beyond the Mist continues Casi McLean’s Lake Lanier Mysteries series. I enjoyed the first book and enjoyed this one even more. I loved Piper from the start and was intrigued with Nick. I had the pleasure of hearing Amy Deuchler’s narration of the book. She did a great job performing this mysterious story.
I am giving Beyond the Mist four and a half stars. I look forward to the third installment from the Lake Lanier Mysteries series.
I received the audio version of this book from the publisher. This review is 100% my own honest opinion.

Beyond the Mist

There is a strange phenomenon in Lake Lanier... a portal that somehow makes time travel possible.

Nick goes back in time to try and fix a mistake that has haunted him, but just maybe things will turn out worse than he could’ve expected.

Piper is drawn to Nick and will do whatever it takes to bring him back, but will they be able to make it back?

Casi McLean has written an emotional and thrilling story. The tragic events of 9/11 are respectfully depicted and play an important role in the storyline. Amy Deuchler delivered a wonderful performance. She truly brought out the emotions of the characters.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily left this review.

The narrator makes it unbearable

The narrator makes everyone sound unattractive and unintelligent. She is just awful. I couldn’t even finish the book. I made it through most of it just trying to see if it got better because I love Lake Lanier dtories.. but I just didn’t care about what happens.

Great narration for this time travel story

CW: this book is centered around the events of 911. If this is a topic that you are sensitive to, I do not recommend this book.

Beyond the Mist: Lake Lanier Mysteries main premise is time travel. A mysterious lake that opens a portal to other times has pulled in a victim. Finding out about time travel, Nick figured out a way to go back to the week before 9/11 to try to save his then-girlfriend. Unfortunately, Nick will inevitably trigger the Butterfly Effect by changing the timeline, so the scientists send Piper, his current time sudden love interest, to being him back and make sure he doesn’t change anything.

This is book 2 of the series and I unfortunately didn’t read book 1, so I had to listen to the first 2 chapters a few times before I understood what was possibly going on. This is sort of how I spent a lot of the book and I’m not sure if it was the writing or that I just kept losing interest.

Narrator Amy Deuchler did a great job. I’ve listened to a few of the books she’s read and I’ve never been dissatisfied with her style. Her voice is rich and chromatic.

I received this book from the author, narrator, or publisher in exchange for an honest, unbiased review.
