Unveiling Beulah Audiobook by Dana Wayne – Review by Ashley Westerman

/0 Comments/in /by

I really enjoyed listening to this story I had a really hard time turning it off and going to work. Listening made my commute so much better. This hit me right in the feels, it was beautifully told. The narrator did a great job of making me feel like I was there. Bea is such a strong female character that has been through a lot and remained strong throughout everything. I would definitely recommend listening to this, you’re missing out if you don’t!

I love every book in this series. I was so excited for a Christmas story just in time for the cooler weather. I have read the other books in this series, but I don’t believe that you need to read the others to understand this book. This was an enjoyable quick read with lots of action to keep me hanging on. If you want a fun adventure this is the perfect book for you! I highly recommend this series and this book!

My kids love dinosaurs. They’ve asked me to read this to them multiple times since we got it. I loved that these books taught about teamwork and my young kids were able to pick up on it. Everyone would love this book, its good for younger kids, but as an adult, I really enjoyed it also.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am so sad this series is over! I felt like I knew every character in the series personally, this book is no different. The way the author writes is exceptional. I was kept engaged from the very first page and kept that way throughout the entire book. I really enjoyed Mia and her fierceness; she’s been my favorite character to date. While I’m sad the series is over, I am so glad I got to enjoy every book, and I can’t wait to see what the author has for us next.

I enjoyed being able to go visit the 1400s in this book. I often wonder what life is like in different time periods. I really enjoyed the adventure the author took us on in this book. I’m not sure I would survive in a world with arranged marriages, but it’s a lot of fun to read about. I haven’t read this author before, but I’ll be sure to check out other books ASAP.

Oh My Goodness! I loved this book. I could not put it down, I devoured it in about a day. It was so easy to read and allow me to forget about everything around me (something I really needed). I don’t know if it’s accurate based on history but that didn’t matter to me. This author did a wonderful job creating great characters and an excellent world to get lost in! I highly recommend everyone read this!

My kids absolutely love this series!!!! It is one of their favorites, and they get so happy and excited when I say there is a new one ready to read! The best part is getting to try the experiments with them. They have the best time with it, and we get to learn something at the same time. My favorite?! They don’t even realize they are learning something. It’s just fun! I can’t wait to see what else this author has for my kids (and maybe me) to learn!

I love this series! Every book just hooks me some more. As the series goes on, I find it harder to pick a favorite. But this just might be my favorite so far. The chemistry between Trey and Hailey was amazing! So much heat and fire! I think Trey might be my favorite character so far. He seems so sweet and intelligent, even though he’s part of the mafia family I can’t help but love him. I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book when we get Nico’s story.

I loved this book. It was a great story, and my emotions were all over the place! I have not read the previous books in the series. I didn’t feel lost, but I can’t wait to go back and read them! I really like the Motorcycle Club and Cop becoming friends, especially because it’s “forbidden” in the motorcycle club world. I can’t wait to see what happens next, but first I have to catch up on the books before this one. Give it a listen or read, you won’t be disappointed! The narrators did a great job telling this story. It was told in such a way that kept me hooked the entire time!
