Story
As an old employee at a funeral home, Tegan's life had been full of corpses. When her parents died, she couldn't take being surrounded by death anymore. She had to get away, and to do that, she moved to a small, sleepy town in Utah. When Tegan rented a house sight-unseen, she had been told it would need a lot of work. She just didn't realize how much, nor had she been told that the previous owner had gone missing and assumed dead.

So much fun experiencing it again!

I originally read Bed Of Roses when it was released. Love it. Blew me away! I was so excited to listen to it on audiobook. Did not disappoint. This narrator brought the story to life. Wasn't needed, but was a great addition. I got to go through the mystery, romance, and anticipation all over again. And even caught some things I had missed. A must listen! Even if you read the book already. I can't wait for more from this author!

Reviewed: 05-13-24
This was a collection of short horror stories. Each one was good. Usually in a collection one or more aren't that good. Not in this case! And I love how Celina Myers narrated it. I felt like she was a friend telling me some wild stories. I would love to listen to more books from her!

This was not what I expected it at all. I thought it would be a small town story with some mystery. It was so much more! And it even have a ghost twist. I loved it. I was enthralled from page one until the end. I thought the narrator did a great job keeping me interested. A must read for mystery fans who love twists and love it when a book surprises you!

Story
Idyllic memories. A perfect childhood. A secret buried for 30 years. None of us could remember why we drifted apart. We spent our childhood marauding around our village in our little gang, coming of age, belonging, and getting into 'bother' as mum called it. But nothing bad ever really happened. Or did it? Children see things that adults don't. It's as simple as that. Innocuous or bizarre coincidences aren't really that. Mysterious goings on can't really be shrugged away. There was something else happening, something terrible, but the adults were too busy doing life to see.

A Thriller You Won't See Coming
Reviewed: 11-06-23
This was a great suspense and mystery with a chilling feeling. With each chapter more and more is revealed and no of it I saw coming. Trust me, this book will keep you on the edge of your seat and will shock you until the very end! It's also a story about coming of age and memories of youth. Also about friendships between outcasts. There was totally nostalgia. But this isn't a warm and fuzzy story. This has a dark depth. This narrator did a great job telling the story. Her voice really gave it that magic.

Enemies To Lovers With Life Lessons
Reviewed: 09-27-23
This was a fun young adult listen. The narrator did a great job bringing this to life. I really felt like the Addy & Gray were telling me the story. And it is only one narrator! Addy has a goal to join the swim team and get fit. Then she will bring the hottest arm candy to the Halloween party. Turns out she is not very good. Gray's only focus is swimming. He is given the assignment to help Addy. They butt heads and are the last ones you'd think to fall for each other. But spending time together let's them get to know each other. This was a great enemies to lovers story. It was also full of lessons that a person of any age could benefit from. I don't want to spoil anything. But its a must read/listen for young adult innocent romance fans. Especially teenagers.

If only Principal Connell knew our history, he’d understand just what he’s asking.

Fun enemies to lovers with an important message
Reviewed: 08-19-23
This was a fun young adult enemies to lovers romance. Penny sees Cade as her sworn enemy due to some teasing in the past. The principle asks her to help tutor him. She can't say no because she wants to be seen as great in adults eyes. She dreads it. Cade doesn't seem to be dreading it, which confuses her. Turns out the Cade she thought she knew isn't who he really is. She is surprised to find out that Cade is actually who she needs to lean on and the feelings she has for him are a shock to her. I love their back and forth. Cade loved pushing her buttons. The narrator did a great job. I had so much fun with this book.

How Can You Go Wrong With An Uncle Gonzo
Reviewed: 08-19-23
I loved this collection. It's 3 full lengths and one bonus story. I was hooked from the beginning. Brett and his friends set out to go on a road trip to party and have fun. They find themselves in a full paranormal adventure. It's not just that, it's also Brett healing from losing his fiancé years before and also missing his ex Liz, who is with them. As they reconnect, they are also battling demons and Brett himself. I love how it started as Brett just living a boring normal life to Brett live streaming ghost hunts. It was a blast the whole time. A wild ride. And this narrator did an amazing job. I forgot he was one person! Made this story even more of a thriller. A must/read listen for paranormal fans.

What a great mystery thriller! Fey's husband Bruce is deceased. She doesn't believe his death was an accident. Soon the town that she saw a dream is turning into anything but. Small towns hide big secrets. In this book we really get to know the characters. It was hard to really meet and learn about Bruce knowing he's dead. I wanted justice. I tried to solve the mystery with Fey. This author did a great job keeping readers guessing. The truth shocked me. A truly great mystery. This narrator did an amazing job pulling me in as a listener. She really brought this book to life.

Reviewed: 08-14-23
Let me catch my breath. This was one heck of a story. It's a story of mistaken identity. A hired boyfriend. Rook was not the typical pretend to be your boyfriend hire. Because he wasn't. He was a man with a dangerous past who doesn't correct Dally. Rook thinks it's any going to be an easy event. Then he meets Dally's family and they are terrible. There is so much drama. And Dally's mom just makes me sick. Rook finds himself protective of her. Dally goes from just hiring Rook as a date to needing Rook because she's not safe. And who better to protect her than an ex hitman? There were so many twists I didn't see coming. I was on the edge of my seat until the last moment. And can we talk about these narrators? I felt like these narrators were these characters and had smoking hot chemistry. I had to remind myself they weren't really the characters and I wasn't watching this unfold in real life. A must read/listen for romantic suspense fans. And if you want steamy scenes, look no further!
