Set In Stone (The Stone Series Volume 3) AUDIO BOOK by Dakota Willink – Review by Bobbi Wagner

This is the third book and my third audio by this author.  I couldn’t wait to listen to it.  I loved the previous two audiobooks which I would highly suggest before this one to help enhance your enjoyment of this series.  I loved being pulled into the story of Alexander and Krystina by the narrator’s voice from the beginning.  This is their conclusion to their story which I will miss but I can’t wait to see what this author has for us next.  Their story is one of heart, secrets and an attraction like no other.  Krystina is faced with a decision that will either make Alexander’s life come tumbling down or save his life.  What will she do?  I highly recommend this audio and this series.  You don’t want to miss Alexander and Krystina’s story.

This is a well written story that has characters that bring the story to life on each page. They are relatable and made the story engaging.

Nick is the only other witch in this small town Cassie finds herself in. The problem comes in that when they are together passion flares and it could be their undoing. Will they find the coven? What will fate have in store for them? There is alot going on in this shorter story but it keeps you turning pages and it certainly is entertaining. They have great chemistry and just made great characters. I highly recommend this book.

This is the third audiobook in this series that I have listened to and enjoyed.  I highly suggest listening to the entire series to help you get the feeling of this series but it is not necessary.   I enjoyed how the narrator brought the story to life with their tone of voice.  It kept me listening because I wanted to know what was going to happen next.   In this audio we get to listen to Hannah and Jack’s story. Their story is one of learning to trust and second chances. What will happen when Hannah is accused of being a traitor and will Jack be willing to risk it all to save her?  This was a great story to listen to on my way to work.  It was entertaining and the characters just popped.  I highly recommend this audiobook.

This is my first audible story by this author, I can’t wait to listen to more from this series. This is the first book in this series and what a first book it was. The characters are strong and connectable. I enjoyed listening to Krystina and Alexander’s story. Their growth and chemistry are off the charts. Krystina was great without having a man by her side until she fell and he picked her up. She didn’t expect to look up and see him helping her up. What happens from here you will have to listen to the audio to find out. What will fate have in store for them? I highly recommend this audiobook.
