The magic of this library pulls you in. The descriptions are powerful, conjuring pictures to your mind and you feel like you are there trying to untangle the mysteries within.

Story4 out of 5 stars 1
I almost hooked up with a werewolf… but before we got to third base, he dragged me off to jail. Apparently, he's the leader of the pack in town. The fact that I’m an illegal blood wolf—a vampire/werewolf hybrid—doesn’t help my case. And he didn't appreciate me accidentally biting him when we were kissing, either. Luckily, or unluckily, he seems to think I'm his true mate, which means he won't let anyone hurt me. But he also won't let me go. Between his possessiveness, my need to be near him, and the vampire clan hunting me, one thing's becoming clear:

Enjoyable listen to a romantic fantasy. The narrators gave us both sides of the romance. A standalone story which is so nice.

Excellent book and well narrated. This fantasy world pulls you in with all it's beauty and danger, and puts doubts into your head and has you wanting to shout 'don't believe him' but you carry on reading/listening. The next in the series is a must.

Once upon a time...there was a girl whose father inhabited the body of a beast for a time and whose mother couldn't seem to keep her nose out of a book. Mirabel can't imagine summer without the solstice ball her family throws every year—the music, the roses, everything looking picture perfect, like it came out of one of her mother's books. But when a young man at the ball snubs an enchantress in disguise and chooses Mirabel to dance with instead, the summer begins to look a lot less wonderful.

In the world of Beauty and the Beast we learn the tale of their daughter Mirabel. The author is the narrator and she does it well. So much more than a story connected to Beauty and the Beast.

Reviewed: 19-07-24
I loved the narration that brought the characters to life. The 2nd book flows like the last one and we now find out if she can bring the compass points together and more information about the gods is found. One of those series's that you just want to keep reading one after the other.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,653
Tamsyn Muir’s Gideon the Ninth unveils a solar system of swordplay, cut-throat politics, and lesbian necromancers. Her characters leap out of the audio, as skillfully animated as arcane revenants. The result is a heart-pounding epic science fantasy. Brought up by unfriendly, ossifying nuns, ancient retainers, and countless skeletons, Gideon is ready to abandon a life of servitude and an afterlife as a reanimated corpse.

Historical romance with a twist
Reviewed: 04-03-24
I was intrigued by the write up then concerned as I tend to like fantasy over historical romances but this very cleverly merged the two.
The whodunit was cleverly written into the romance.
Thoroughly enjoyed it.

I really enjoyed the story that was woven between the shifters finding their mates and their passionate love making.
Michael Pauley brought them to life with his narration and has a nice voice that suited these books.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 2
They say opposites attract, but there have never been two more opposite people than Stone Schneider and me. Stone, the brawny owner of the Chancellor Brewery and Biergarten, is my definition of nemesis. His noisy pub is a constant source of irritation. Where my bookshop brings beauty and stories to the world, Stone brings a Friday-night cover band. Even though Stone has the most adorable, bookish child on the planet, that handsome tapster and I cannot find a way to get along. If Stone could stop being annoying for five seconds, I might ask him out.

It was nice to read this quaint Christmas tale. Easy to listen to while doing housework. Makes you feel good.
Narration needs to be a little more consistent but I know how hard it is but she has a nice voice.
