Mr. Grimm

The Twin Cities Series

De: Drew Avera

Narrado por: Al Kessel

The people of Minnesota believe the twin cities to be Minneapolis and St. Paul, but what they don't realize is the name actually refers to a parallel dimension known as The Realms, where creatures of myth roam freely. Humans stand only a dimensional barrier away from the most terrifying and horrible monsters imaginable, but there are select few who answer the cries for help, who guard the world of mankind and keep it safe from harm. The Realms can be a place of great danger, as well as great beauty, where love and loss can be sudden and significant, but make no mistake... in this world, humanity is just another word for powerless. Alexander Grimm has been sentenced to a life of servitude. His services are rendered to a man who calls himself The Raven, but he is more than a man. He is a vampire. Grimm has done The Raven's bidding for twenty years with the life of his daughter, Angelica, hanging in the balance. Someone in The Raven's Court has approached the man known in The Realms as "Mr. Grimm" with a choice: Continue killing for fear of losing his daughter, or give his life to ensure that The Raven can never hold her life in his hands again. Which will he choose?

Would have been 5 star read if more in depth

If you could sum up Mr. Grimm in three words, what would they be?

Interesting, Good, Unfinished

Which character – as performed by Al Kessel – was your favorite?

Al Kessel done a fabulous on all of the characters. I think he embodied all the was Mr. Grimm. He keep my attention the whole time.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes. It was short enough that I was able to listen to it in one sitting. Which is good since I didn't want to put it down.

Any additional comments?

The only problem that I found was, I felt like it was just getting into the story good when it stopped. I would love for Drew Avera to elaborate more on this story. Other than that, this is one of the best audiobooks I have listened to.

Dark Paranormal Short Story

This was an unusual short story in which a lot was left to one's imagination; however, the story held moments of love, sacrifice, creepiness, and terror. Mr. Grimm was a vampire assassin who was given a choice that could either be disastrous or bring about his freedom. I was entertained by this short story. I'm hoping for more adventures with this character. Al Kessel's narration was good, and his performance enhanced the story's entertainment. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review.

Mr. Grimm is up a creek without a paddle

Would you consider the audio edition of Mr. Grimm to be better than the print version?

I have not read the print version.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Mr. Grimm?

The death of his wife had the be the most memorable and heart breaking moments in the book. The fear and love he felt was heart breaking.

Have you listened to any of Al Kessel’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have not heard any performances of Al Kessel before, but I do think he did a great job with Mr. Grimm. He didn't sound like a robot and had good inflection in his voice, with proper enunciation.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The fear he felt for his daughters safety and knowing he alone held the key to her wellbeing was particularly moving.

Any additional comments?

I think this story was way too short, it seemed like as soon as i started getting into it it was over. If they combined the first few books then maybe it could complete the story line. It also seemed to jump around a lot making it kind of confusing.

The most original story in a long time!

Would you listen to Mr. Grimm again? Why?

Yes it is amazing story!

What did you like best about this story?

Everything well written and presented

What about Al Kessel’s performance did you like?

Everything

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I think the struggle with what he HaD to do to protect his child from his wife who was a vampire.

Any additional comments?

The audiobook was given to me in exchange for honest reviews. I had never herd of this story bit it is interesting fantasy typetype. The maim character Alexander Grimm is fighimg his own mistakes and demons. He is in the otherworld realms trying to make up for what he had done I'm life
The story has vampire theme and does contain adult language. It is, however, a great story and is one I will enjoy again. The narrator was Al Kessel and he has a amazing depth and pitch in jos readings and it a great talent!

Paranormal

Any additional comments?

Grimm's point of view we learn that he is a vampire killer and slave to the Raven , bound to his master by blood to save his daughter's life.This is a classic paranormal-vampire story. The narrator's voice is very complimentary to the whole story..
