The Emerald Heart of Courtenay

De: Anita Stansfield

Narrado por: Luone Ingram

The moment her father takes his final breath, Sarah Courtenay becomes the sole heir of her family’s sprawling castle - and something far more unexpected. For on his deathbed, Lord Courtenay left his daughter a cryptic message: A dark curse will fall upon the house should Sarah fail to obtain and protect a priceless treasure. Sarah’s astonishment upon discovering the carefully hidden sword sparkling with jewels is nothing compared to the shock she feels when she learns the nature of her father’s death: He was poisoned. And now, Sarah herself might possess something worth killing for.

Desperate to avoid her father’s fate, Sarah flees the only home she’s ever known, taking with her a loyal maid and a hired bodyguard, who will stop at nothing to protect the beautiful woman in his care. From the safety of a remote farm, Sarah finds a renewed measure of peace and hope for the future. But the sinister weapon that glitters amid her belongings in that small farmhouse beckons a shadowy enemy, one who will not be deterred from taking everything from Sarah - including her life.

I loved the build up

I really like the narrator, she does really well at distinguishing the different characters with her voice.

Boring

Boring, predictable and more boring. The narrator read slow which made the book even more agonizing and dull.

It was ok

The story was great, very compelling. I loved the characters. I just felt like there was a lot of fluff. So many unnecessary and repetitive thoughts and feelings of the characters that it got boring and even annoying at times. I didn’t feel like I connected with the characters and their emotions, either.

I mean it was OK

It was entertaining enough, but I didn’t cling to every word and I probably won’t read it again.
