Story4.5 out of 5 stars 103
Cassie Andrews works in a New York City bookshop, shelving books, making coffee for customers, and living an unassuming, ordinary life. Until the day one of her favorite customers—a lonely yet charming old man—dies right in front of her. Cassie is devastated. She always loved his stories, and now she has nothing to remember him by. Nothing but the last book he was reading. But this is no ordinary book… It is the Book of Doors. Inscribed with enigmatic words and mysterious drawings, it promises Cassie that any door is every door. You just need to know how to open them.

I really enjoy this book and found the narrator great she seemed to have a great voice for multiple characters.
Good action , complex characters and story but didn’t make the readers head swim with the abilities of the books !

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 602
Set in the mountains of southern Appalachia, Demon Copperhead is the story of a boy born to a teenaged single mother in a single-wide trailer, with no assets beyond his dead father’s good looks and copper-colored hair, a caustic wit, and a fierce talent for survival. Relayed in his own unsparing voice, Demon braves the modern perils of foster care, child labor, derelict schools, athletic success, addiction, disastrous loves, and crushing losses.

I knew nothing about this book except I had read this author before . This was eye opening and there were times when I wanted to yell at characters . A incredible strong voice and times that made me weep . Five stars but not a light and fluffy book by any means !

If your killing time
Reviewed: 2023-10-17
If I read a book and don’t like it I usually stop reading (listening ) then I don’t bother review it. But this one I did finish it. I wanted to see how it would play out so I gave it a 3 and the performance was pretty good. Story wise there are issues here , to many characters that don’t really add anything to the plot. A lack of research regarding anaphylaxis among other things and some truly interesting characters but not written well.
Washing dishes, walking the dog don’t want to pay to much attention it’s ðŸ‘? want a good edge of your seat page turner? Not so much.

I loved the first book in this series and really enjoyed the second book!
But as can happen as a writer continues to write with connected characters the writing or the subject can slip !
I am thrilled to say this did not happen this third book is as lovely , interesting and enjoyable as the first and second books!
The narration is excellent !

Reviewed: 2023-05-12
I don’t usually write negative reviews I usually just let the book go. But this isn’t a bad book and the reader did a good job. But two things bothered me 1) the mystery was a little shattered with “surprise “ ending . Involving two out of the blue characters a bit of poorly used McGuffin .
2) it drive me crazy that at least twice the main character said something to the effect of “it was late October and colder then I thought it would be“ then goes on to say “I was worried about the bugs” 🤯 no bugs in October if your town is on “the Canadian Shield “

Thanks to Roosevelt's Kentucky Pack Horse Library Project, Troublesome's got its very own traveling librarian, Cussy Mary Carter.

I have really enjoyed this series !
I have a habit of listening to non fiction books on Audible as I do the boring jobs of life, dishes , laundry, dog walks!
But of late I have blazed through this series. The narrators wonderful interpretation of each character has grown as have the characters . The pacing of the story and the important details that hint at a complex web of intrigue are making me do many more dishes and the dogs are loving the extra long walks!
As a person who lives with family with ASD (autism spectrum ) Miss Charlotte reminds me of so many of the truly brillant and wonderful quirky moments of my daily life.
Love the feminist point of view, the joyful lack of concern of the strong women in this world!
I want to know more women like Holmes and Watson!
Looking forward to more adventures !
