Best short story series

I love short stories, especially as a student/mom of 3. They allow me to listen without a huge time commitment, which is hard during the semester. Cassandra Clare is easily my favorite young adult genre author. Looking forward to the release of Pale Kings... In a week or so.

I loved the ending!!!

Interesting. Fun to watch Simons growth. Not "quite" as perfect as last one. BUT I loved the ending!!!

Nothing new about Valentine's story

What did you love best about The Evil We Love?

In my opinion, this story added nothing to the story already presented above. Not to mention that only reinforces the adolescent behavior to follow charismatic people unquestioningly

Would you be willing to try another book from Cassandra Clare and Robin Wasserman ? Why or why not?

Yes, because I think they can write good stories together.

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

To be honest, I don't remember, but I liked his voice, his reading held by it is easy to understand for foreigners. He articulates well the words and to maintain a steady pace

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

No.

Any additional comments?

No.
