interesting

This book was a good story but it lacked something that draws me into a story. I really enjoyed the narrators performance. she was the reason I continued listening. I received a free copy of this book in exchange for my voluntary review.

Murder Mystery Urban Fantasy

This is a new author for me and I’m very selective of the murder mysteries I choose. Most have some magic and a paranormal element to them. This title caught my attention and I’m glad I decided to give this new series a try.

The story is interesting and flowed at a good pace. It has some dark elements, some twists and turns, mystery, magic, some romance and betrayal. The romance was quite complicated to say the least! The main character has some really thought choices to make!

The narrator was ok. Her voice was a bit too soft and slow. I would suggest speeding up the narration a bit. Her pronunciation and the character distinction is good.

This book is written in multiple points of view. You really get to understand where several characters are coming from and what is going on inside their heads.

The conclusion was surprising with some twists and turns I did not see coming. There is a lot more I want to know and understand. I’m looking forward to the next book.

An Exciting and Magical World!

I was attracted to this book by the cover and the synopsis and couldn’t wait to listen. After 11 hours of being immersed in the Zyne world I now feel like I’ve lost my best friends. Kean, Astrid and Briana. The narrator managed to pull me into story so much I now feel bereft.
The author has created a unique and interesting world that I hope to revisit when book two comes out. A magical world with so many layers. The world building conjures a rich world and I was there with them.
Briana is forced back to a life she escaped many years before when her Grandmother and sister are killed in a car crash. When she arrives in Evergreen Cove she discovers their deaths were no accident. Before long the only way to protect her love ones is to embrace her power and heritage. Meeting her best friends Kean and Astrid make her realise this is where she meant be. It has been a pleasure to listen to a narrator, that made me forget there was one as I was so immersed in the story.

Dark Urban Fantasy

This was my first Gwen Mitchell's book. This is the first book in the Skydance Series, and this is a great start to the Series. This Dark Urban Fantasy has demons, witches, immortals, reincarnation, and soulmates. The storyline is filled with twists and turns, mystery, death, and danger. The world building is complex and captivating. Briana is a great character, and the secondary characters are also interesting. This was an incredible journey to be continued, and I recommend it for fans of dark urban fantasy. Unfortunately, be aware that the second book in the Series isn't available in audiobook yet. Daniela Acitelli has done a wonderful job tihe the narration, and all the characters. She has a great voice, clear, and easy to understand.

Rain Of Ash is Great

I was given this book for free to give an honest and unbiased review.

Rain of Ash is a great book to listen to. It's about a musician named Bree who left her coven and her magick years ago to escape the responsibilities, and possible madness, of her gift of sight. Plagued by nightmares of a past life, she flees her heritage, leaving everything behind. Tragedy strikes leaving her the last person alive in her family. On a trip back to her hometown to tie up loose ends, she instead walks straight into her destiny, complete with a powerful demon who wants her Legacy. This tale is full of magick, murder and mystery.

The overall performance of this book is Very Good. The story is great and you can see the evolution of the character. My ONLY problem is parts of the narration, the narrator gets this whinny drawl that really irked me. The voice and cadence used for Gawain was not the best, but this is MY opinion. OVERALL, she had a clear voice, the sound quality was great and she had a good cadence. I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it! I can't wait to listen to the second in the series.
