We predict amazing success for this brand-new mystery series starring Psychic Abby Cooper.

Barely adequate

Would you try another book from Victoria Laurie and/or Elizabeth Michaels?

This story was slow and it barely held my attention but I may read the second book. Perhaps in the following book, Victoria revs up the momentum. Sadly, the narrator made the experience worse and more than likely I will not choose an audible book if Elizabeth Michaels is the performer.

What do you think your next listen will be?

Perhaps a James Patterson or JD Robb novel.

How could the performance have been better?

The narrator spoiled the story. Had she given each character their own voice; a good performance could have made all the difference in the world.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

No. The characters are flat and uninteresting.

Any additional comments?

This writer does a wonderful job explaining how clairvoyants perceive their insight. Her clever use of words makes me wonder if she possesses the talent.
Readers are actors and as such, the voice should fit the part. This narrator is better suited to read nonfiction instead of stories requiring dramatic changes in pitch, tone and manner.

Fantastic!!! Hilarious! "Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire

Great story! Great narration! What a fun way to help people understand the world of intuition... scarves and crystal balls all excluded! I thoroughly enjoyed the light and dark of Abby's world... especially her hunk of a man, Dutch, and that she uses her talents for good. Can't wait to glutton on the rest of the series!

Like the story.

Any additional comments?

I like the concept of the Abby Cooper mystery series. It took me a while to get used to the narrator's voice though... she seems to have a voice that sounds too old for the character, so it doesn't quite fit. I wanted to slap the main character every once in a while as she can be frustratingly stupid in her relationship thoughts and assumptions.

Don't believe in Psychics abilities? Niether do I.

Would you listen to Abby Cooper, Psychic Eye again? Why?

Yes, love the whole sereis

Who was your favorite character and why?

Abby of course, how could you not love a psychic who can't see what is coming at her around the corner

What about Elizabeth Michaels’s performance did you like?

She takes a little time to get used to her voice but once you get aclimated she is awesome.

Any additional comments?

I don't believe in psychic abilities because I have never seen them except for on TV. But that does not mean I can not enjoy a story about one. Don't let skepticism keep you from listening to a great series.

Enjoyable entertaining cozy.

I will read more from this author. Quick moving but enough details and character development to keep it interesting. The plot just complex enough. Me second listen for this one. Still liked it.

CUTE

A change of pace not a great read but an easy one - so it gets a "CUTE" from me:)

Good story, not so good narrator

These stories in this series are cute and interesting. The fact that the author is in real life a psychic adds depth and information to the story. The narrator's voice and inflection got on my nerves after a while. She's kind of like the voice of the teapot in the animated Beauty and the Beast with bad inflection.

Loved Loved Loved

I really enjoyed the relationship play between Abby and Dutch. I thought the dialogue was pretty on target. I got a kick out of the light hearted way the author would let you into the psychic mind of Abby. I loved the way the mystery unfolded bit by bit around the discovery of clues which weren't that hard to remember from one chapter to the next. It was just a nice easy listen. Can't wait to listen to the next book in the series.

I love this series

I love every book in this series. This is a great start to the series. I recommend getting them in order, or it may spoil some of the details of future books. The narrator is perfect for this story line.

Psychic well sometimes

Fun series that is entertaining. Sometimes tiresome when Abby does things even someone who isn't a psychic would know better. But still entertaining for a beach read!
