Can Melody escape the ruby's curse?

Hello Sweetie

An amazing book read and written by an author that knows her characters inside and out. I have long enjoyed the works of both Alex Kingston and River Song (the best companion hands down, by far, forever, the end). I loved the lot of this book, the stories the wove themselves into a single creation (that mayhaps held the power to destroy all) was both interesting and entertaining.
Spoilers, just kidding, this is the best Doctor Who book I have read and I hope Ms. Kingston makes more. I knew she was an amazing actor and now I know she is an extremely talented writer as well.

Magnífico!

Just one question for Alex Kingston: When the next book will be released? This was perfect!
okay, I was prepared to love this book. But I was prepared like: "my favorite actor wrote a book and it's great".
I was definitely not prepared for: "my favorite AUTHOR wrote a book and it's great!
it's intriguing, and it's funny and keep you wondering what's next and wanting to reach the end but not wanting it to end. I read a lot of books this year, and this was the best without a doubt!
And I read it in hardcover while listening the audiobook! That is no other way to read it 😍😍😍😍!

And let me just point that is official, it's written! River Song knows about 13th and my heart is fully happy now 💙💙

Love this one! River is <3

Super engaging, entertaining, cool adventures. Love her voicing all the characters. And a tiny Doctor visit! Cannot wait for more River adventures!

Enjoyed this very much

I am hoping that Alex Kingston writes another Melody Malone mystery. I enjoyed this so much-there was a lovely mix of sci-fi and mystery, of futuristic and historical. Listening to River Song herself? Glorious.

Great adventure!!

I loved the the way the author captured not only the spirit of River Song, but Doctor Who as well!! We’ll done!!

More!

That’s it! I want more! Fantastic. You can see it all in your head with her performance bringing the words to life. More more more please!

this one took me across the country

was listening to this during the latter half of a cross country drive. this book is so beautifully written and narrated, I enjoyed it very much, also if you're a fan of doctor who at all this does not disappoint!

What fun!

Alex Kingston is my favorite Doctor Who actor and I was delighted to see this was coming out. What fun! A wiblbly-wobbly-timey-wimey mystery. Lots of twists and turns and horrible American accents that River and we have fun with and acknowledge. I really enjoyed it!

Amazing

Loved it. A tad bit confusing if you stop listening and start again, but other than that very interesting.

Gripping story

An amazing story by one of my favorite Dr. Who characters and actresses. I loved it. Give more.
