Life’s a Witch (New Orleans Nocturnes Book 3) AUDIO BOOK by Carrie Pulkinen – Review by Bobbi Wagner

I enjoyed listening to this audio.  The narrator’s voice made the story easy to listen too.  They brought life to the story and I could easily see the characters.   I enjoyed them, I found myself easily connecting to them. In this story Crimson’s spells always go bad. When the high priestess threatens to bind her powers, her reaction is to challenge her to a battle that she doesn’t have a chance to win. What will happen when a demon named Mike makes a deal that could change everything for Crimson?  The characters had great chemistry and I enjoyed them.  I highly recommend this audio, it is worth the listen too.

Twisted Secrets (Deadly Isles Special Ops Series, book 1) AUDIO BOOK by Amy McKinley – Review by Bobbi Wagner

This is not my first audio by this author but it is one of my favorites by her.  I enjoyed the narrator’s tone of voice and what it brought to the story.  The narrator brought the characters to life using different tones.  This is a story that brings the romance and action into one well rounded story. The characters bring the story to life with each page.  This is a story about two people who have lives that are not going as well as they expected until a once chance meeting in a coffee shop.   As danger merges and the past comes to the present, the action really picks up.   I highly recommend this audio and this author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this book. This is an author that I have enjoyed reading from the first book I picked up of hers. This is the second book in this series which I highly suggest reading the first as it is just as great. Her stories pull me in from the beginning and her attention to details give the story a realistic feel. This book is no different. This is a story about Logan, Angel and one accident that changes everything for them. This is a story where guilt and a haunting past come colliding together. This is a fast paced story that has twists and turns that left me turning pages fast to the end. This was a great story and I highly recommend it.
