The last thing Gwen Carter wants to do is to go home to Hoodoo, Texas. Hoodoo, the place she once called home and had everything she wanted that is until they all turned on her and she vowed never to return again. Now she is back and plans to leave as fast as possible, but black magic is rampant in this town filled with creatures you only read about will Gwen be able to navigate through the shark infested waters or will this be the end of her?

What a fantastic beginning to new series. I listened too this on audiobook and was pulled in right away. The narrator did exceptionally well with reading this story and the characters. I loved Gwen, she is absolute hoot and there are so many things that you cant wait to find out about.. Excellent book.

5/5 stars

Gwen is a character that I would want to be friends with. Sassy, strong and independent, she’s back and just wants to do her business. I found this to be quite the story. I loved it because it wasn’t your basic cookie cutter. It’s unique, creative and full of paranormal goodies in the story. I love a hot werewolf too. I’ve been naughty. Lock me up. You can feel the intensity of the emotions throughout the story. I found everything so entertaining and intriguing that I stayed up late to finish it. Well worth losing sleep over. I can’t wait to read more. Bring on more of this deliciousness. Listening to this on audio was a treat. The narrator made it even better because her tone and narrating made it sound like she was from down south. It was just made the story even more enjoyable, and I just didn’t think that was possible. The writing is good, the characters are crazy and it has a paranormal flow that you just roll with. I loved it. I had to sit and listen in one sitting.

5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is a new author to me….reading the snyposis and seeing the intriguing cover I decided to dive right in. This audiobook was fantastic and fun to listen to…full of magic, witches, crime, demons and a some romance.

Gwen heads back to her hometown of Hoodoo, Texas and upon her return…mysterious murders come with. With all fingers point to Gwen, will she be able to prove her innocence?

I love Gwen’s character of being strong, independent and love her being middle aged with all the parts that go with it ♥️.  I did not realize there is a prequel so I will be definitely circling back to listen to the prequel as well and I am already looking forward to book 2. The narrator was absolutely perfect for this story as well.

I was rolling in laughter for most of the book. I full on cringed, and oohed and awed too. The details and the attitudes of the characters, especially Gwen were fantastic, and the narrator did an amazing job portraying the story!!

Return to Hoodoo (Boudin, Bourbon, and Barbecue, Book 1) Audiobook by Reggi Dupree – Review by Amanda Glaspie

I really enjoyed this book and the narrator was perfect in capturing Gwendolyn. I’m a sucker for strong fierce women and this book did not disappoint. Gwendolyn went many years avoiding her hometown until she is called back to her family home. From the beginning things are not going well and there seems to be a black cloud that is following her after several murders begin to occur shortly after her arrival. This was a book that thoroughly showed that that not all things are as they seem. Couple with the sassiness and humor of Gwendolyn this makes for a fun read.

Return to Hoodoo (Boudin, Bourbon, and Barbecue, Book 1) Audiobook by Reggi Dupree – Review by Cindy Mayberry

Gwen Carter has died twice and is down right tired of dying. With her new inheritance she finds herself back in the family home. Hoodoo Texas, a place that ran her off has brought her back. The black magic, ghosts and murder will keep Gwen on her toes as she tries to break the family curse. She is older now but can she prove her innocence and catch the true murderer? No spoilers here. However, this author is new to me and I love his writing skills. The audible version puts you into this story. The laughter and snarky-ness of the characters will bring you back for more. The story is fast paced and easy to follow. But make no mistake you will want to read more from this series. I am looking forward to reading more from this author as well as this series.

I really enjoyed this book; I am a big fan of midlife paranormal women’s fiction. I love a good strong, sassy main character and Gwen is great, as are all the characters. I laughed quite a few times outload, (which made my grandson look at me like I was crazy). This story is the perfect pace and keeps you engaged the whole time. A definite must read.

Return to Hoodoo (Boudin, Bourbon, and Barbecue, Book 1) Audiobook by Reggi Dupree – Review by Bobbi Wagner

This is my first audible by this author which I enjoyed listening to.  I look forward to the next book in this series.  I enjoyed how the narrator pulled me into the story using different tones throughout.  This is a fun, entertaining story that has a little bit of everything in it.  An engaging story where the characters are relatable and will keep you engaged throughout the story.  I enjoyed being pulled into the story from the start and had to find out what happened next.  A story that will make you laugh and have you sitting on the edge of your seat the next minute.  Is three times a charm really all that lucky?  You don’t want to miss this one!  This is great audio and I highly recommend it.

 Dying sucks. She’s done it twice. Three times is not a charm!

          Gwen Carter is pissed.

          After gaining a second magical disability, the last thing she needs is a summons to her        hometown of freaking Hoodoo, Texas. After accepting an inheritance too complicated to refuse, it goes from bad to oh crap when she witnesses a horrifying murder by black magic.

As Gwen climbs higher on the suspect list, she’s terrified that she has yet to break the family curse.

Will Gwen be able to prove that the current murders are connected to the one that drove her from her beloved home in shame, or will she lose not only her life but the family legacy?

Return to Hoodoo is the hilarious first book of the Boudin, Bourbon, and Barbecue, a paranormal women’s fiction series. If you like a dash of romance with your bawdy broads and nutty friends and family, then you’ll love Reggi Dupree’s captivating supernatural thriller.

It’s never too late to embrace your magic.

There’s something about magic, action, and the supernatural that calls to my wicked soul. I enjoy most genre fiction, but am drawn to heroines like me and my weird circle of friends: not so slim, not that young, and even a wee bit cranky. But we also find joy and laughter, even in the darkest of times.

I fill my books with adventure, magic, loss, love, and casts bursting with diversity. Seriously, how boring would life be if we were all the same?

Okay, now the personal stuff.

I married the first boyfriend who made it past the four-month mark. Since we’ve been hitched over thirty-five years, I’m thinking he just might stick. The two cats? Well, they’re too spoiled and way too stubborn to move off the couch.

Take off your boots, grab a cold one and settle in for a magical good time.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This book was not my favorite. I stopped many times, but would start again in hopes that it would pick up and get exciting.
I do believe the one thing that I really didn’t like was that it had so much back and forth with the characters. And it was almost like there was too many characters.
When I finally made it to the end, it was pretty good. But it took forever to get there.

This the second novel by Susan Specht Oram that I have read, and I was just intrigued as the first. I wish it was a little longer because it comes off to clean. A stand-alone novel has you wanting more. I will be picking up the rest of novels to see what see does next. You never know who is going to show up in this book to see what they are going to do. The author does well bringing these characters to live and I wanted to read more to get the feel for them. I hope this author keeps getting better.

The Thieves (The Millersville series) Audiobook by Susan Specht Oram – Review by Callie Luna

The Thieves starts out with Jasime and her friend Phil robbing her boss in order for Jas to pay for her father’s surgery. Unfortunately for them a couple, Bets and Zerk, watches them and steals the money, and leaves them stranded on the side of the road. This is when the situation goes from bad to worse as they must track the thieves down to get the money.

This story is hilarious. I actually found myself laughing out loud at parts of the book. The stakes are high with the amount of money and how much they are willing to risk to get it back. The ending has a nice twist that I did not see coming. This book is extremely different from the first book in the Millersville Series, Shore Lodge, which was extremely suspenseful and did not have the goofiness of this story.

The voice narration is done very well. My only complaint is that it is set in the viewpoint of Jas or Bets and the voice does not vary for these two distinct characters. The title of the chapter and what is going on is the indication of the viewpoint rather than the voice.

The Thieves (The Millersville series) Audiobook by Susan Specht Oram – Review by Nina Maes

Amazing! I love the story, very captivating and had me at the edge of my seat. You will not be disappointed, great characters and twisting storylines. This is my second book from this author, and I just loved it; I recommend to anyone who like a fast passed suspenseful thriller.

4/5 stars

This is book 2 of the series and it’s just as good as the previous book. It’s a fast-paced story of two duos and this book will have you wanting to see what’s coming next. I was pulled right back into the story. It was kind of interesting to hear it in audio. The narrator has a good voice. I do wish she had a little more variety to the voices. There was a touch of monotone but I still thought it was good. She still made it thrilling. The variety and excitement that might have been added would have made the story jump to another level. Everything did flow pretty good. Overall, a story that I would recommend to all.

The Thieves (The Millersville Series)Audiobook by Susan Specht Oram – Review by Amanda Gonzalez

What started out like a robbery gone wrong turned into a quirky adventure. I was moved by Jas’ motivation for the heist in the first place and felt a connection with her purpose. The adventure was more dramatic and entertaining because of the multiple views from the other characters and gave the story more depth. The author gave the characters their own flaws and made them all the more realistic with the oddities that gave the tale a slightly humorous aspect. I enjoyed listening to the twists and turns the novel took and was pleasantly surprised by the end!

The Thieves is the second book in The Millersville Series. This is a fairly new author to me and I’m definitely a fan. I read the first book in this series and I definitely recommend reading or listening as its just as great as this one. I listened to this in one sitting,the narrator’s voice lured me in and kept me glued to the story till the end. This is a fast paced  thriller about  recovery mission and determination to save  her father. I highly recommend listening to this book to find out what happens next.

The Thieves (The Millersville series) Audiobook by Susan Specht Oram – Review by Cindy Mayberry

Jasmine Bucker does something she should not. But she does have a plan and nobody is going to stand in her way. Her father is sick and she promised she would help him financially.  But as luck would have it. Something very wrong had taken a turn for the worst. The phony cops have taken her money and she will do what it takes to get it back. That’s all I will tell you about the story, no spoilers for you. This author not only writes well, her stories are well worth reading. Her sense of humor plays a big part in this fast paced crime thriller. I love the interactions of the characters. At times I found myself laughing at the events of this story. This is a must read series! I can not wait for the next book.

This is my first audio book by this author and I look forward to more in the future.  I enjoyed the narrator’s tone of voice as well as their ability to keep the story engaging.  The characters are connectable and add so much to the story.  I really enjoyed them and what they brought to the story.  I also enjoyed how the narrator brought so much life to the twists and turns that it had me coming back for more.  A story of a recovery mission to save a father and a daughter determined to save him.  A story with great growth and one I enjoyed listening to for sure.  I highly recommend this audiobook.

The Coin Audiobook by Maria Elena Alonso-Sierra – Review by Ashley Westerman

Oh my, what a wild ride. I enjoyed this so much. I was hooked the whole time, so much so that I was sneaking in time at work to finish listening. I needed to know what was happening. So much suspense to keep you gripped. This wasn’t my first story from this author, and it won’t be the last!!!!

The Coin Audiobook by Maria Elena Alonso-Sierra – Review by Deb Robinson

See a penny pick it up, all day Long you’ll have good luck or so it is said. This is so not the case for Gabriella.

Gabriella finds an old coin when she got lost on a hike. This coin changes her quiet peaceful life upside down in days.

Richard, an investigator is on vacation with a quick interview with Gabriella. He wasn’t told all the information and finds himself now protecting her and trying to keep Gabriella alive. Through the trials of trying to keep her safe both find themselves drawn to each other. Will there they cross that line or will she keep to her wedding vows? This book was a wild ride. Terrorists, Israeli’s and a crazy murderer is on there tail.

This book was a wild ride of tension, stress, and passion. This is the first book I have listened to from this author. Lots of side plots but stays true to the main story. Loved it.

The Coin Audiobook by Maria Elena Alonso-Sierra – Review by Amanda Glaspie

I wasn’t sure how I felt about the book at the beginning as there were a lot of moving parts. At times, I had a hard time following the storyline. As the book progressed, characters made sense. The author did a great job at generating strong emotions for each character, whether it was love or disgust. The ending took me by surprise and it wrapped things up well.

The Coin Audiobook by Maria Elena Alonso-Sierra – Review by Ashley Hasting

One coin could lead to so many things if you know where to look. Gabriela happened upon one, a 1945 French coin to be exact, on a walking path. Due to this, it unlocked a new adventure that was going to be hard to handle for her. In comes Richard, our lovely American spy, who investigates this mission that ruined his vacation but gained him an interest. Their connection is amazing to hold in to. Great listen!

This is a great story and already looming forward to checking out more of this series!

Set in the beautiful French Rivera ..this fast paced story all about a “Coin”…that Gabriela finds on her own not realizing the implications of this find. Richard Harrison is set to see the coin and protect Gabriela… stakes are high for sure!

Secrets, agendas, thriller….. I enjoyed this listen and definitely cannot wait to discover more!

The Coin Audiobook by Maria Elena Alonso-Sierra – Review by Kayla Octaviano

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is a crazy story! Many twists and turns, very cynical, but extremely entertaining to listen to. It kept me on edge the entire time. The narrator does a great job of building the suspense with his voice, along with the words he is reading. If you love suspense novels that keep you guessing from beginning to end, read this book! I am a bit of a scaredy cat, but the writing is amazing and the story will keep you coming back for more.

The Coin (Audiobook) is a Romance Suspense that will have you on the edge of your seat as your listening. The narrator did a wonderful job of bringing the characters to life and keeping my attention throughout the story. This is a  fast paced story that is set in the French Rivera and is about  betrayal, love ,hatred that bring forth personal greatness (triumph). Gabriela’s life is a bit complicated and she finds herself at her favorite spot while there she finds herself in unfamiliar area and discovers a coin. Then there’s Richard who is an American Intelligence officer who is  not happy with his boss after he asked him to do a favor.  Turns out that favor  has him protecting Gabriela from a killer who will stop at nothing to keep his secret safe. I truly enjoyed listening to this story and highly recommend listening/reading to find out what happens next. Im definitely looking forward to seeing what other books this author has to offer.

The Coin Audiobook by Maria Elena Alonso-Sierra Review by Cindy Mayberry

Taking a getaway, Gabriela visits La Marbriere France. While there she finds a 1945 French coin. That is where everything turns deadly. Richard, an Intelligence officer who was on vacation, is now helping to keep Gabriela safe while trying to catch the man who is threatening her life. This story is fast paced and is a rollercoaster of twists and turns. You will find yourself listening and getting caught up in this Romantic Suspense. The author has clearly written this series to entertain her readers. Her characters are just everyday people whose lives are turned upside down. I could not put this book down.
