Deep Silver

Alexis Silver, Book 2

De: J.R. Rain, Matthew S. Cox

Narrado por: Kelley Huston

Book two in the best-selling Alexis Silver, Mermaid Detective series!

Alexis Silver has always defied convention: In the 1920s, she tried to attend college. She also prefers to live on land, and she doesn’t really care for the taste of human flesh.

Oh, by the way, she’s also a mermaid.

A century of existence comes with a certain amount of boredom, but work as a private investigator in the Pacific Northwest offers a pleasant combination of access to the sea, intrigue, and helping others.

When a well-to-do woman hires her to find her missing adventurer brother, Alexis feels like she’s landed straight in the middle of the sort of action movie they just don’t make anymore. The man’s trail leads all over the globe, but she suspects he’s not dead - yet.

An international mining conglomerate evidently wants whatever the missing explorer has found, and they’re more than willing to kill anyone who gets in their way.

Even mermaids.

Loved it!

This is a fun series! Love the book. JR Rain is so fun. No bad language.

Another fun romp with Alex

This was a fun story, and I continue to really like this series. Alex is just a really enjoyable character, and the authors have excelled at putting her in interesting but believable situations that force her to be inventive and are fun to watch unfold. The narration was also fantastic, various accents and all. Looking forward to the next installment in Alex's adventures.

Got to love a Mermaid PI

I was so happy to get the second book in this series. Loved it just as much as the first. I won't give spoilers I don't like them. I'm waiting with baited breath for the third one.
The narrator brings the story to life.
I will definitely listen to it again.

10 Star Narrator!

This is turning out to be one of my most favorite series ever, and I read A LOT! I can't put my finger on exactly why I love this series so much, but with each of the two books I've listened to, I just find myself sad that it ended. I love all of the characters. They're just so likeable. I want to be more like Alexis. She's just awesome. And the narrator! She's amazing!! There are lots of narrators that I like and even more that I don't like, but Kelley Huston just blows me away. I've never heard such spot on narrating. I genuinely feel like the character herself is telling me a story and it's not just being narrated to me. She really is that good. If you haven't listened to this series yet, then grab book one and get started. You won't be sorry!!!

Wow Alexis Silver Rules!!!!!!

When Ethan fails to check in with his sister as arranged, she panics and hires Alexis Silver to find him. That is the last thing that a certain mining company wants, and they’ll stop at nothing to insure that Ethan is never found! Then there is the matter of a dead beat husband hiding funds from his soon to be ex! All things considered, Alex has her hands full in Deep Silver, book two of the wildly creative, haunting, and at times frighteningly horrifying, Alexis Silver Series! Why frighteningly horrifying? Well, you see, Alex is a Mermaid, and not the cute, innocent wide eyed mermaid of children’s cartoons, but a siren of the sea, lure sailors to their deaths, bad a$$, kick a$$ real deal mermaid! No spoilers! Grab your headphones, snacks, drinks, and all will be revealed as you listen to this fabulously written, brilliantly narrated story! I have to say, I loved everything about Deep Silver! The characters are off the charts original, and so well developed! The plots, yes PLOTS are interesting, fast moving, and complete! And, oh my stars, the narration. Astoundingly perfect! Every voice, every inflection, every emotion, every sound effect, every spoken word, clear, consistent and perfect! Oh, and that last chapter? Ya got me on the hook, just reel me in! Again, no spoilers, but make no mistake, we are NOT talking cliffhanger here, just mind blowing excitement for the next book! As for Deep Silver, five fabulous stars across the board!!!

Alexis is back :)

It's a fantasy / paranormal / cozy mystery - a mix I really like - with the main character who is intelligent, funny, witty and doen't treat herself too seriosuly...:) She works as a PI though she doesn't really need to - which means she is in it not for the money but for the job itself:) And she does everything to solve her cases, putting her heart to it...

The second book in the series is even better than the first, though it's different in that the case Alexis has to deal with seems less urgent and not so emotional as the first one we followed her in. But it's equally entertaining, with some great twists to the plot... It's also faster in terms of the pace, and more balanced in tone.

Narration by Ms Huston is great, with the spot on pace of her reading and voices really matching perfectly the individual characters.

So, if you haven't met Alexis Silver yet, don't wait, grab book one and book two and just listen - you won't regret it:)

Fantastic 2-in-1 mystery with adventure and comedy

I always feel a touch nervous going into book 2 of a series when I really enjoyed the first book. Will the second book meet my expectations? In the case of Deep Silver, I was not disappointed. In fact, I loved it! Deep Silver was packed with fun adventures and quirky characters, keeping in tune with the overall vibe of the series vibe. For a mermaid with superhuman powers, Alex is incredibly relatable. The relationship she forms with one character in particular was sheer perfection. Also, the narrator was exceptional. I can't imagine anyone else narrating this series. 5 Stars all the way across on this one.
