Historia
Liv’s happy with life in her thirties. She has two cats, one BFF, and no boyfriend, which is just how she likes it. Plus, she loves working at a not-for-profit software company where she can be her authentically autistic self. This is her happy ever after. But when her beloved firm merges with a repulsive rival, Liv finds herself competing with her sort-of-ex for the top job. Sure, Finn had been Liv’s best friend, with his nerdy good looks and their shared love of Tolkien, but there was that one night, their song, and … well, she doesn’t like to talk about it.

Excellent portrayal of autistic characters!
Revisado: 04-22-25
This was a really fun story with excellent portrayals of autistic characters. They also did wonderful justice to Lord of the Rings nerds too! I thoroughly enjoyed “feeling seen” in a lovely romantic comedy with 2 adorable main characters & an engaging supporting cast.

Off to a good start
Revisado: 07-17-20
This was a cool concept for many reasons. I *am* a fan of the reverse-harem genre, so that worked for me. The way the potential mates identified each other was unique & interesting. I’m interested to see how that keeps going. The entire premise of the leading lady has both potential & plot holes for me. There were also other areas that I need more information about; however, this is a series, so I’m willing to wait on some of that hoping it will be fleshed out further along. This definitely wrapped up one story & left a “to be continued” vibe without the dreaded cliffhanger, so a big Thank You! to the authors for that!

Always a pleasure
Revisado: 04-23-20
Yet another feast for the ears! Narrator Mark Restuccia does an incredible job delivering the snarky, the dry, the sassy, the waspish, just as facilely as the not-firing-on-all-cylinders, shall I say? He’s quite adroit. But in order to be that good he’s got to have clever material & that is why I adore anything set in Other London or really anywhere in the Uncanny Kingdom.
There are some series that have that je ne s’ais quoi that leads you from one story to the next, one web of characters to others, seamlessly. They make it so interesting, cause you to become so invested, or are just so madcap & adventure filled that you trip along behind them merrily. These are those kinds of series. Buy them a few at a time, though, because you’ll want to just keep going.

Historia
All Timberlyn wants is to get out of her small town, where she's branded a freak just because she happens to wear all black and draw gruesome monsters in her notebooks. When a letter arrives saying she's been accepted to the mysterious Ravenwood Academy for the exceptionally Gifted, she jumps at the chance. There's only one problem with Ravenwood: it's run by Alarick Wolf and his brothers, three surly, thuggish, insanely gorgeous guys. Timberlyn's new friends give strict instructions to stay far away from them. Unfortunately, she's not good at taking orders.

Really enjoyable paranormal academy story
Revisado: 04-14-20
It seems as though these days paranormal academy stories are everywhere. Finding 1 that is a fun read in a saturated genre is a real joy. I like the main character & her propensity for drawing monsters. There are elements of many stories here, but I felt as though Lena Mae Hill kept it fresh & engaging. I look forward to the next instalment so I can follow the slow-burn romance, so I’ll definitely be following the series!

Read the e-book
Revisado: 04-14-20
I honestly cannot review the story at all. After 4 separate attempts to listen to this short, I had to finally admit defeat. I have an excellent array of listening devices: Bluetooth speakers, 2 types of noise cancelling headphones, & earbuds. Despite that, I was virtually unable to follow the story as it was narrated.
There was a very slight tin can echo to the recording which exacerbated the narrator’s unfortunate quirks. She not only had a stilted cadence that emphasised odd words within sentences, tricking the brain into thinking that there would be more pertinent information to come on that topic, she also has diction issues. One such causes her “s” sounds to either be abnormally flattened in some cases or to hiss in others. All in all, I think many of these problems could have been solved with better recording equipment & a bit more practice. Unfortunately, this recording is just not there yet.

Historia
Deputy Jesse Maddox's reputation in Beach Pointe is...less than stellar. He thought following in the footsteps of his late father, a former cop, would make up for it. Not quite. Every time he closes his eyes, his past is there to haunt him. After falling asleep on the job (again), the sheriff gives him an ultimatum. Get counseling for whatever's keeping him awake at night or get out. Jesse would rather have a root canal, but he goes anyway, expecting a big waste of time. What he doesn't expect is to fall in love.

This was a cute & funny story of when the time came to grow up for policeman Jesse. The narrator absolutely lent to the experience - I don’t think I would have smiled as hard without her acting efforts. I’m glad I stumbled onto the series & plan to follow it as more books follow!

Outstanding! One of the best books I’ve read in months.
Revisado: 03-09-20
The world building, the characters, & the details were all incredibly engaging. I became easily immersed in the story from the very first lines. It was written with finesse that is often lacking in 4-star books, taking you seamlessly over the falls of suspense without too much turbulent foreshadowing giving the game away. I’m putting this one up there with Brandon Sanderson for how eagerly I await the next book to continue on the adventure & to see how these characters develop even farther. Well done!

So much fun!
Revisado: 03-07-20
I wish I’d started with the 1st book in the series. This episode was an amusing jaunt back in time, causing a fractured fairy tale to play out. While the story has been visited before, this was a refreshing take on it. The main characters are engaging & fun, with a firmly established relationship that I’d like to witness develop. I look forward to going back & listening to the 1st 3 books soon!
