Wicked Dreams

An Ivy Morgan Mystery, Book 2

By: Lily Harper Hart

Narrated by: Angel Clark

Detective Jack Harker is living in his dreams - only they're really nightmares. Ivy Morgan wants to help, especially since she's become a frequent visitor in his subconscious - only she doesn't know how. When a battered teenage girl shows up in Ivy's greenhouse, the duo must put aside their misgivings and constant miscommunication so they can try and help.

Sixteen-year-old Kelly Sisto is living in a nightmare of her own, and whether through trauma or refusal, she can't tell Ivy and Jack what happened to her. Shadow Lake's favorite witch and newest police transplant have their hands full with Kelly, but it's their hearts that are getting away from them.

When the truth of Kelly's sad life is finally revealed, everyone is in danger, and they're going to have to work together if they want to survive - and find a happy ending.

Reads like it’s written by an 8 yr old.

What may have been an interesting plot is killed with Adults saying lines like ‘you’re not the boss off me’ and “you’re a butt head” cringe worthy
Poorly edited with repeated sentences and questionable language.
Pity.

good listening

a good storyline. narrator did a good job with voice changes to indicate different characters. looking forward to the rest of the series.

Hard to Care for the Main Characters

The story line is fairly good, but I must admit the two main characters are sorely lacking in pleasing personalities. The agitated fights over absolutely everything was neither funny or endearing. Ivy is both rude and obnoxious most of the time. Jack was not far behind. Of course that’s how it was written, and the performance was a bit sharp toned and perhaps increased the negativity of this book. I got this book as a romance package item. If I hadn’t, I’d have returned it by chapter four.

Fun story

The story as always was fun. The performance was tough to take. The voices were either monotone and robotic or not believable. For instance a 16 year old girl should not sound like a seductive adult.

Narrator almost killed the story

Overall, a good light mystery to get you through quarantine. With a few dark issues touched on but not delved into, a balance is created to help offset the too-happy tone of the main character. But I found the narration lacking. Emotions were improperly portrayed at times. If you are not paying close attention to the words being said you may lose the slight sexual undertones. At times it is hard to tell the female characters apart which I prefer to the HORRIBLE male voices she attempts. If the next book was on Audible Escape, I would definitely be getting it. As I would have to pay for it, I will look it a digital copy so I can read it myself.
