Carnelian

The Chalcedony Chronicles, Book 1

De: B. Kristin McMichael

Narrado por: Hollie Jackson

Everyone has a past, but for most it isn't so far in the past as Seth Sangre. His past is literally from thousands of years ago. Seth's past led him to the present seeking something that might help him save his country from destruction. He has been in the present for over three years now, and he just found exactly what he has been looking for. Mari had dreams of college being a fresh start, one where she would start over and not fall for the good looking player like high school. Unfortunately for her, that's exactly what ends up falling into her lap on the first day she moves into the dorms. Now she has to hold to her promise to herself not fall for the handsome Seth Sangre. But he doesn't plan to make it easy for her. Seth has already marked her as his next conquest.

As the semester progresses, Mari learns that Seth might just have a past of his own that's literally in the past. Suddenly, Mari finds her future along with her past put into question. She's connected to Seth far more than she ever wanted to be, and maybe he isn't the player who she thought he was. If Mari can trust her heart enough to follow him, Seth will lead Mari on an adventure of a lifetime-and reveal family secrets she never knew existed.

Any additional comments?

I am a FAN FOR LIFE & CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT BOOK TO COME OUT!!!

Loved it.

Narration was not bad at all which is always a risk but the narrator done the story justice.

Not the story I was expecting, a pleasant surprise

This book is a 5 plus for both the author and narrator! The book wove a story of Mari an ordinary girl who longed for some spark of adventure in her life. Off to college she goes and finds the wildest adventure and possibly love that she could imagine. Mari is a funny, full of wit gal that was easy to like. Mari becomes good friends with Seth and his brothers Ty & Dee. As their adventure moves from the college campus, we learn how complex the guys really are.

While I tried to guess at the outcome of story, sure that I was right based on typical writing, I was *wrong*. The story with it’s twists surprised me in several spots. Carnelian did end on a good note. It left me wanting to know more and to solve more of Mari & Seth’s background. I hope to read in the next books more about Ty and Dee. The narrator was able to soothingly tell the story and draw me in to the point where I missed exit on the commute. I was totally in the driving zone listening to the story with no commuter stress. This was my first narration by Hollie Jackson.

great job

love how you write I get sucked into the story and feel like it's happening around me

Fantastic Carnelian

Would you listen to Carnelian again? Why?

Yes, I loved listening to this story. This was the first time that I read a book from this author and I loved it!

What did you like best about this story?

The budding romance between the main characters and their flaws.

Which scene was your favorite?

When she wakes up and he and his friends are gone, along with their memories.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No

Any additional comments?

I now have to read the other books in this series and I now follow this author on Amazon.

Can't get past the emotionless delivery

The narrator's accent and lack of emotion made the story uninteresting and boring. I never felt that the connection between the characters was anything more than physical because of this blasé performance. The author spends quite a bit of time on the type of girl the FMC doesn't like (shallow and boy hungry in essence) but the accent and tone of voice of the narrator sound exactly like that type of girl. I may read this book in the future to see if divorcing it from the performance makes me like it any better.

interesting take on time travel

This was an interesting story about a couple who find each and then She discovers that he is from another time and that hes going back. She of course doesn't want him to leave and finds a way to go back And find him. Likable characters and an interesting story.

Young adult time travel romance.

Any additional comments?

This book was a little slow at first, but got much better as it went on. I enjoyed the developing relationship of Mari and Seth. I also enjoyed the conflicts that developed and how the time travel was introduced.

Mari is a young college student who meets a gorgeous guy on campus and falls hard for him (with some resistant). She then learns that her dream guy is from the past and then they are torn apart.

Read the book to find out what happens... I will tell you it is good!

Loved loved loved!!!!

After reading the Legend of the Blue eyes trilogy I was a little weary of how a completely different series would be but this like her (Kristin McMichael) first series, it hooked me in from the very beginning! Absolutely enthralled by it & can't wait to read the next in the series!
