Sophie and the Odd Ones

By: Gwen DeMarco

Narrated by: Janine Granda

Sophie Feegle needs a break. Rent is due on her crappy apartment and she's halfway through her last loaf of bread.

Sophie doesn't have big ambitions. She only wants a job that will keep her landlord off her back, enough extra cash for whiskey at the neighborhood bar and a bit of free time to hang out with the naughty old lady next door.

When a chance encounter with a quiet stranger leads to a job offer at the San Francisco City Morgue, Sophie jumps at the opportunity. She never expected to find her calling on the graveyard shift surrounded by dead bodies and the strange characters that make up the morgue's staff. Finding out that your friends and co-workers are shifters, ogres and other non-human creatures is a shock, but Sophie quickly realizes that these are her people, and she has finally found her perfect gig.

And then things get odd. Well...odder.

Unusual murders keep ending up on Sophie’s autopsy table, hinting at strange powers working within the city. Something nefarious is building in San Francisco, and it is up to Sophie and her friends to thwart the evil powers on the rise.

Paranormal Wonder

A refreshing paranormal romance with a human with strange visions who gets a job as as an autopsy assistant and finds herself embraced by her odd colleagues who work the night shift with her. She learns they are shifters and they have to work to stop a serial murderer. Narrator Janine Granda is super talented. She brings this book to life.

Worth listening to more than once

I have actually listened to it a lot. And book 2 as well. Kinda bummed book 3 isn't available yet on audio. The series flows well each book ends with the secondary plot wrapped up but it ends on a cliffhanger for the main plot, which is very frustrating. At the end of the book the author gives us a little info about the real city and some of her favorite places. This book is a new spin on an old story line but it works.

A cant miss listen

Sophie and her coworkers are going to keep you listening until the story is done and you are awaiting the next book. She is quick witted while having fun friends in the story. The narrator did a good job and j suggest you give it a listen.

Odd balls rule

I wasn't sure I was going to like this book. In fact, I loved it. I looking forward to the next one. I hope it comes out soon.

Good listen

Interesting book. Good narrator except she speaks too slowly. If you increase the playback to 1.2x it sounds much better.

A Great Ride, So much Fun!!

I just Loved listening to this story and can Not get enough! So after leaving this Review I am starting book #2!! Narrator did a Excellent job on this story and the Characters voices.
Highly Recommend this Series

I can’t wait for more! So entertaining!

OMG! I freaking love this story! This is the kind of story that I could listen to over and over. It is full of amazing and wonderful characters then add in the delightful storyline…it doesn’t get any better than this!

I think my favorite thing I loved about it was her job and how/why she got it. She was basically alone on her last leg and she got this weird job and acquired a whole bunch of friends. How perfect! Then she gets the shock of her life. She rolls with it as she discovers more and more about her friends. I loved their shifter animals. So fun!

I did listen to this on audio and Janine Granda did an amazing job narrating this. Yes there were a few times that I was confused on who was talking but for the most part she read it wonderfully. I eagerly look forward to more stories with these characters. This really made my day.

I’ve never listened to a story like this one!

Loved this. Great story, great narration, I had a few giggles, great fmc with a dirty mouth and strong and is fiercely independent.

I liked the group of odd ones, they are all adorable. Mac, I’d like to know more about him. In this book there is no smut and nothing more than a kiss.

Fmc gets visions from being around bodies and can see how they died, she’s also having dreams about a lady who calls herself Snow White, I’m looking forward to book two when it comes to audio to find out more about that storyline.

Solid four stars I recommend giving this series a go!
This is my first book from this author and I’m impressed.

Good story. Very different.

Urban fantasy with a new twist. Great characters. Good world building. Looking forward to the next in series. Truly fun and quirky!

awesome story

Urban Fantasy at its finest. A new take on some old creatures. Great flow and the humor had me laughing out loud.
