The Scarlet Tanager

The Annika Brisby Series, Book 3

De: Emigh Cannaday

Narrado por: Nick Cracknell

"You're part samodiva. I knew that when I met you. It's in your blood to be distracted by beauty...and pleasure." He turned to face her, taking in every sensuous curve of her female form. "You seem to have forgotten that it's in my blood as well. Whatever shall I do to remind you?"

Scandal. Blackmail. Obsession. It's just another day if you're a Marinossian. When Annika disappears without a trace, Talvi launches the hunt for his most infuriating rival yet. His only clues are from a government he's increasingly at odds with. In exchange for access to their resources, he does the unthinkable and reveals Annika's true nature. Time is short, but the list of names Talvi can trust keeps getting shorter. Back home at the family's country estate, his brother Finn is blindsided when the missing redhead turns up injured with no recollection of how she arrived. While his mother tends to her physical wounds, Finn's given the task of restoring her memory...and he just can't resist showing her his version of the truth. But playing mind games is like playing roulette - and someone's luck is about to run out.

Intriguing

Once again we’re given the opportunity to see out Talvi & Annika get along. The Narrator helps us see how the two of them manage through the danger. Can’t wait for more.

Enchanted Yet Again For A Third Time!!!

Nick Crakell has done a wonderful job yet again narrating Emigh Cannaday's third book of The Annika Brisby series. I was once again swept away by this enthralling story which picks up right where we left off in book two. With a rollercoaster of emotions, twist and turns. As well as lots of and loss and one crazy cliffhanger. Can't wait for installment number four. Also I would like to give a big THANK you to Emigh Cannaday for letting me be apart of her audio book review team!!!!

Loved it!

The third book in the Annika Brisby series is great. Going to listen to the fourth book next. Can't wait to listen to more books in this series. Nick Cracknell did an excellent job as always.

Recovery and Betrayal

Where does The Scarlet Tanager rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I would rank it above Silver Thread, but below Flame and the Arrow.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Talvi's and Finn's father Ambrose. Many of the characters behave badly in this novel, and Ambrose isn't having any of it. He puts his foot down and reminds them what is appropriate.

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

Yes, this one was just as fantastic as the others. Nick is fantastic with different accents and inflections. He makes each character's voice unique.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Don't mess with a Marinossian

Any additional comments?

This book begins right where the previous book ended - with Annika being kidnapped by a doppleganger and Talvi close on her heels. After a harrowing experience as a vampire blood slave, Annika just barely escapes with her life. While Talvi is searching for answers, his twin sister finds Annika and delivers her to his family. Under the loving care of his brother Finn, she begins to recover, but the vampires have wiped her memories, and she doesn't remember Talvi. As she grows closer to Finn, they fight the growing attraction that threatens to tear the family apart.

This entire story is told from the third person point of view. Most of the chapters focus on Annika's story, but there are occasional glimpses into the lives of other characters - not just Talvi, but other more minor characters such as Hilda and Nicola. It really made the world feel full, and kept us engaged not only in Annika's plotline, but in everything going on everywhere in this wonderful world Emigh Cannaday has created. I had originally thought this was a trilogy, but I am very excited to discover that I was wrong, and I can't wait until the next book is released.

Loved it
