Boring and repetitive

Revisado: 10-31-24

The performance was fine. The story was not. I was told this was the worst of the trilogy. I was told this was a filler book to get to the last one. I wasn’t prepared for how unenjoyable I would find it.

It really feels like nothing happened that couldn’t have happened as part of books 1 or 3. There was so much pointless nonsense. I kept feeling deja vu, because, while things were happening, they were just repeats of events that had already taken place. I would like to punch both Mal and Alina for being so asinine and non-communicative.

Some solid advice

Revisado: 10-13-24

I think some of the lists should have been adjusted to work better in audio. Overall, I got some good nuggets of information to think more about and apply to my life.

Cute holiday story!

Revisado: 12-09-23

At the beginning, I worried the whole story would be letters, but it’s not at all. Turned out to be a cute and tidy holiday romance.

That was fantastic!

There were definitely some scary parts, but they decreased as the book went on. I really liked the twist at the end.

Such a feel-good holiday story

Revisado: 12-15-22

That was the best! I loved it all. The characters, story, writing, ending, narration. I’m a sucker for a time travel romance, but this was excellent.

Great performance, eh story

Revisado: 04-20-21

The story and relationships felt forced. Good concept, poor execution. The many mentions of people's nose "blades" and "grins slitting their faces" also drove me nuts.

I just can't...

Revisado: 10-19-20

give this 5 stars, because the ending was just so sad. This addition to the series was just so much more serious and dark than the others and I loved the others in part because of how good I felt in Harry's world. But it's still an awesome story.

Really enjoyable short stories

Revisado: 05-19-20

The Crimson Parrot - This was a perfectly lighthearted story. Exactly what I needed. I'd love to read it again in a few years to remember what socializing was like during this time.

The Cape House - DANG, I did NOT see that coming. I *really* liked this story.

Stop Motion - Loved it! I could relate to the MC and really liked how her mystery ended.

DNF at 67%

Revisado: 05-17-20

I LOVED the premise of this book. And I liked the first half quite a bit. It lived up to its horror genre as well, but more with skin-crawling grossness than scare factor. I really liked watching these women come together to form their book club and circle of friendships.

But then any character development just stopped. Even reversed a little. I couldn't handle reading about how much the women were passive and controlled by their husbands. Patricia's storyline especially, with the mental health twist. It even feels like the beginning of a new book, like nothing that we already went through even mattered to the story.

So, seeing as how my real life is stressful enough at the moment, the last thing I need is to spend another 4.5 hours in a different, but also stressful, and unentertaining universe. DNF and disappointed.

Kind of depressing

Revisado: 04-29-20

The last few minutes redeemed it, but I wouldn't say the ending makes the entire listen worthwhile.
