Got boring……fast

The beginning was okay, but as I got into the second book, I was just bored and barely got through an hour. This was so unexpected because normally Michelle madow’s books kept me listening for hours on end. I mean I also don’t really like the “betray bff and revenge on her” trope cause that made it really unsatisfying to listen to. I gave it 3 stars because even though this book series was not for me, it could definitely be someone else’s favorite series

I have not read or heard anything she has wrote bad I think she will surprise any that read her books the stories are all great 👍

Interesting story

I enjoyed the story. There is no course language in it. No sexual scenes. Suitable for teenagers.

A Wonderful Series

Great writing combined with a great narrator make for a wonderful series. The idea for this book was so intriguing, but the characters, plot and unraveling of a mystery made it even better. Very engaging. The level of tension and dilemma was juicy. Narrator Andrea Emmes is a pro. I picked this series largely because of her. if there were an all star team for Narrators she'd be on it.

Fun Magical Time Travel Reincarnation Love Story

Note: I received a comlimentary copy of this audiobook for review as part of the tour.

Remembrance:

I have had this series on my TBR for quite some time so am excited to be part of the audiobook tour. One thing I find interesting in the way the audiobook is set up, is it is basically all 3 books in one. But, that makes it hard to tell where one book will end and the next will begin until you get to that point as the Audible file doesn’t break it into separate books in the visual chapter menu.

I enjoyed the narrator’s voice and really liked the different accents and voices she gave to each character. I am definitely a fan of this type of narration, as it helps get into each character separately. The pacing and tone was enjoyable and this was definitely a good commute to work listen.

The story unfolds as our main character Lizzie meets Drew and begins to get flashes of their past life together. Piece by piece she gets the information she needs to believe what is happening and begin to understand her situation. I liked the way the story unfolded, and how she didn’t remember it all right away but only got the glimpses as they mirrored the actions of present day.

What got a bit less enjoyable was the high school double love triangle drama. Lizzie already has a long-time boyfriend. Then she meets Drew, who starts dating her best friend. I’m so not into double love triangle drama so that kind of got a few eye rolls from me as it unfolded.

Now, I would love to see some illustrations of the drawings Lizzie made. I want to see the dress she wore to the Halloween dance, and the dress she remembers at the ball. I’m glad the book covers show the masks because I was so curious to see those as intricately and beautifully they were described.

This book ends well, but you know something bad must be lurking, so I’m curious to finish the rest. A good, overall enjoyable listen. And finally gets me some books on my #shelflove challenge.


Vengeance:

I liked how we got to see a bit of point of view from the best friend Chelsea. She definitely got the raw deal in book 1, and I was curious if she was part of the whole past life situation too or was just caught up in the web by accident.

I liked getting to learn about her past and was interested to see how connected everything is and the whole mystic shop and possible witchcraft elements of the story that are introduced.

I did have to keep reminding myself who the narrator was in this story, since "I" is now Chelsea and not Lizzie, but following directly behind book 1 and being the same narrator voice threw me off a bit.

Short, but set up the final story quite well.


Timeless:

The story starts off with a very Final Destination feel as Lizzie's watch stops, then crows start following her. Creepy and awesome to the max! We know what happened since we read Vengeance, but we follow Lizzie and Drew as they figure it out, and see that they were not the only people from the past who have been reincarnated into the present day. I got a kick out of how Lizzie was snooping to find out if her (former) BFF was the one who cast the spell, and the way Chelsea realized what awful chain of events she put into motion.

I really enjoyed their trip to England and all the fun accents and descriptions of the way of life back in the Regency days, though I would have wanted more descriptions of the ball, people's clothing, etc. It would be beautiful to watch so I wanted it described more. But most of all, I enjoyed the unveiling of the sinister plan to off Lizzie's former life by none other than (I'm not going to tell you!) and the only way to stop the echo of the past in the present day was to get to the bottom of what happened back then. I enjoyed that plot line, certainly a fun murder mystery through time!

A great conclusion to the two (and a half) book series and definitely could make a fun TV mini-series. I'd love to see all the costumes in play.

I don't have anything new to say about the narration as this is a continuation of the full book tour, but I will reiterate that I enjoyed her voice and all the accents she did for each character.
