Riveting from the get go.

Amber Garr has what it takes to pull you into an engaging tale. Love the characters and of course I wish the ending is not so bitter sweet. Jiji Hise narrates well but I think some hissing sound could be reduced technical wise. Great story, good narration, what a great combination.

Great Narration, Unexpected Storyline

I started this book expecting a typical crime drama. Having not read anything by Amber Garr previously, I wasn't aware that she focuses on supernatural characters. None the less, I was drawn in more by the narrator than the story. She captured the female characters personalities in her performance. The male characters were a little monotone initially, but gained in inflection and personality as the novel progressed.

I felt the final conflict between the antagonists and heroes was way to contrived. It was over to quickly, and painlessly, given the build up to it. Overall I was entertained for 8 hours and would recommend to my friends.

Amazing 🤩

I absolutely loved this book! The narrator did a fantastic job, and it is well written! I highly recommend this one!

Intriguing

Captured my attention from the beginning and kept surprising me. This was the first I had read of the author so I was surprised when the vampire, witches, and wolf appeared in the story. It kept me very intrigued to see what happened next with the characters and I was unsure of which one way Leila should go I loved both Garrick and Conner characters. Well written and strong character development by the author. I can't wait to see how the story continues. The narrator did an okay job the female voices were good but the male voices really threw me off. Towards the ends she seemed to get a little better or maybe I just knew then what they sounded like and it didn't distract me anymore like at first. Overall I would recommend this book and am excited to see the next book when it comes out.

Unique Crime Drama

Touching Evil is definitely not your typical crime drama unless you count vampires etc...as typical. I found this story to be well written with well developed characters. I thought the end would be a little more exciting but all in all it was a very intriguing and enjoyable story. Jiji Hise did a good job narrating the female characters but some of the males were a little monotone. I do highly recommend this book.
