Great story!!

Revisado: 07-27-21

This was a great story. I couldn't stop listening until I was through. The hero is full of grit & determination to survive a harrowing experience & see justice triumph over lawless men & their wickedness. Although it's not a John Jordan mystery as the subtitle says, it's set in the same area & has a great main character. The narrator did a wonderful job to convey all the things I believe the author intended the reader/listener to feel.

Awesome! Different! Best yet!!

Revisado: 07-23-21

Wow!! I love this series, this character, or rather these characters. Not only is John Jordan great, but he is surrounded with great friends. This was the most realistic story yet. I can say I never saw the ending coming! Great story, great narration, great author.

Loved the story but its inconsistent to past books

Revisado: 06-23-21

Great narrator. Loved the story overall, but it had inconsistency with facts from the previous novels. This book refers to the previous as President Conrad Daniels; however, in books 1-11, the President's name is Conrad Michaels. Also, there is a video in this storyline showing the President committing suicide & the Vice Pres saw it & covered it up. In book 11, he started to commit suicide but changed his mind. He ditched his Secret Service guards, ran into the woods, argued with an arms dealer named Ackerman (who shot him) & the Vice Pres was not there. Otherwise, it was a good story.

Very good. Loved it. Starts slow. Hang in there!!

Revisado: 11-16-20

This is a great story. I found it slow to begin with. However, many great stories start with a "this is the history up to now" type narrative that can make the story slow in the beginning, but stick with it!! The ending is worth the wait. I had to warm to the narrator as well but he is excellent & puts much enthusiasm into the story that brings the characters to life. In my opinion, its not Harry Potter caliber, but its a great story on its own.

Glad for the continuation of the story, but this one is missing something. Its kind not as good as the first book. The narrator is mechanical in her reading, almost computerized in some places.

Wonderful, Suspensful

Revisado: 04-27-19

Kate Morton is a wonderful writer. Her books are very suspenseful, revealing bits of info with each new chapter. Its kind of like reading a jigsaw puzzle LOL Caroline Lee is an excellent narrator.

Wonderful & spellbinding

Revisado: 04-23-19

I loved it!! The author did an awesome job of weaving a multilayered story from the past & the present. The narrator did a fabulous job of embuing the varied characters with life. I did not want to put it down. Eventhough the story is finished, I wish there was more. I have read many wonderful stories set in a variety of author conjured worlds, but this is the first that kept me winding around & around with hints here & there revealing itself bit by bit & in the end like finding oneself guided through a maze.

Wonderful story & narrator

Revisado: 04-15-19

The author did a wonderful job of putting together the folk lore of the mountains, beauty & mystery of Vanderbilt mansion, its family & guests. Serafina is a wonderful character with all the curiosity & cleverness any child (or adult) will love reading about. Ive encouraged my grandchildren to read this book. Can hardly wait to go on another adventure with the wonderful Serafina. I hope the author finds inspiration to write many other Serafina adventures.

Great book

Revisado: 04-13-19

I loved this story. The author did a great job of bringing this character to life. The narrator's voice is perfect to portray this character. The story is straightforward. Circe speaks plainly about herself & makes no excuses for anything she does. The narrator is easy to listen to & does a great job evoking emotions. It starts off as a very simple narration story but then slowly becomes so full of little details that it is easy to picture yourself as watching a movie. I listened long into the night, I had difficulty shutting it off.

Splendid!!!

Revisado: 01-25-19

I absolutely loved this version of Wonderland. This backstory for how the Queen of Hearts became the way she is, why the King was always referring to her with sweet endearments. Now, it all makes sense & explained with very plausible reasoning. I also loved that we finally understand why Rabbit thought Alice was MaryAnn LOL The narrator did an awesome job with all the characters. I also loved that I could listen to this book with my grandchildren without anything inappropriate being said, being indicated or described. Thank you Marissa Meyer. This should become a classic tome in Wonderland literature.
