Awakening Book # Three (The Journals Trilogy 3)Awakening Book # Three by D.M. Earl
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The first time I read the ending (yes first, this is my 4th time reading this book but first listen) I was completely blown away by the talent D.M. Earl possess. And now add to that the amazing narration Torii Alaniz does and it just brings it to a whole new level.

D.M. Earl wrapped up the story in an expertly crafted way that satisfies readers and crazy fans like myself.
If you’re interested in this book and you haven’t read the first two I would highly recommend you read those first. But be warned…… grab onto your seat you’re in for a wild ride.

Awakening (The Journals Trilogy Book 3) AUDIO BOOK by D.M. Earl

Awakening is the third book in The Journals Trilogy and Holy Heck. This is a Romance Suspense that will freaking pull you in from the beginning and doesn’t let go till the end. To say this was an intense read/listen is a huge understatement. The narrator did an amazing job of bringing the characters to life and the raw emotion was chilling. There are some things that may ne trigger for some so I would highly recommend not listening to this with anyone under 18. This follows Quinn, Stone and Walker. She been through hell and back and is stronger than she realizes. Stone is helping her to be stronger and is doing everything to make sure Walker will never bother her again. You guys this is a must read/listen grab a copy to find out what happens next. Im looking forward to listening to more books by this author.

Awakening 

The Journals Trilogy

Book 3

AUDIO BOOK

By D.M. Earl

☆☆☆☆☆

This is a full length dark suspenseful romance. Due to the theme and contents of this story. I recommend only those over 18 should be reading this story.

 

Quinn has escaped her horrible past, with the help of Stone and his men. She is ready to move on, but something still lurks in the shadows. Could it be Walker again? Where is Stone and Walker?   Quinn must gather her strength to get her family safe, once again. Where is she safe? Will Quinn ever be safe again? This is not a nice romance.

 

D.M. Earl has written this powerful intense series. Everything Quinn has is a fight to keep. I hate to see this series end, but all good things must come to an end. I love each and every character in this series. I love the quick page turning rollercoaster ride. The emotions are out there and ready to greet you. I hope you love this series as much as I have. Well Done D.M. Earl! Well Done!

Awakening (The Journals Trilogy Book 3) – Audio Book

By D.M Earl

Narrated by Torii Alaniz

4 stars

 

 

This is the third audio book in The Journals Trilogy and I really enjoyed it. Again, the narration was really good and the book was easy to listen to. This really was a great ending to this series, the action was there from the beginning, I actually think this may have been my favourite out of the series – the author definitely seemed to save the best until last. There were some great and unexpected twists and turns in the story which the narrator really brought to life.

Overall a really enjoyable audio book and a great ending to this series! A must listen!

I enjoy this author and found myself transfixed as I listened to this book. It was emotional and I felt pulled into the story straight away. The narrator provided a real connection point and you could feel the emotional current through her tone. Enjoyed it.

Five Stars

 

Awakening is the third book in The Journals Trilogy by D.M. Earl. This series needs to be read/ listened to in order. This series is rough and addicting. There are definitely some triggers in this book. It was a roller coaster of a ride from the very beginning and it never stopped. This book starts where the first book leaves off. Quinn is an amazingly strong woman who has been through unthinkable things. Stone and his crew have come to help settle the score. This whole series was full of vibrant characters. I listened to this book in one sitting because I just had to know how it ended. It was totally worth it! 

 

This book was narrated by Torii Alaniz. Her voice was mellow and easy to listen to. She really brought the characters to life. I look forward to listening to many more books by her.

This is the 3rd book in The Journals Trilogy series.  This is a Romantic Suspense and is just under 4 hours listening time.  This is a dark romance so only 18+ should listen and there are situations in the story that could also cause triggers.  This story follows Quinn, Stone, and Walker.  Due to her past, Quinn has been through the wringer and that has made her stronger.  She will do whatever it takes to keep her family safe.  Stone guided her to become who she is today.  All she wanted was to move forward and away from her past.  Stone is there to make sure Walker never comes back.  This trilogy was an intense one and the narrator did a fantastic job with it!

Awakening Audio Book by D.M. Earl is the third book in the Journals Trilogy. After listening to the first two books I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this one to find out how it was all going to end! I just had to know to outcome and see if there could be a happy ending for Stone and Quinn.

I was a little bit disappointed with the story. It felt like at times that the author had resorted to adding things in for the shock factor. I don’t think this was needed at all as the story was strong enough without it.

These bits aside I did still enjoy the story. I was instantly invested in the characters again, and not just the main ones. It feels like we have got to know all the peripheral characters so well by this point that I wanted to know about them too.

This was a good end to the trilogy and it was great to get the closure on it.

This is my third audible in this series which I loved listening to.  I highly suggest listening to this series in order to help your enhancement of this series.  The narrator brought the story to life by using different tones of voices and made me want to listen to more.  This is a story about dark pasts and a determination to survive.  A story of healing and learning to trust again.  The characters take suspense to a new level and a conclusion to an awesome story.  I won’t say too much about the plot as I think you need to listen to this series as it is that awesome.  I am very glad I picked up this audible and I was so excited to listen to it.  I highly recommend this audible.

This is a very hard listening and so emotional. I adore Quinn she’s a survivors and with the information from Stone she is seeking revenge.

 

Why has she got this attraction to Stone its get harder to avoid as time goes on. I can’t wait to listen the last book in this trilogy.

I actually enjoyed this one a lot more than I did the first. I found this book more emotionally in depth even though the subject material itself was still tough at times.The story was well thought out and I enjoyed the pacing of the story. It was interesting to get to know the secondary characters more in this story and I also found myself warming to Quinn, the main female protagonist too. It was interesting to go along her journey with her as she figured out how to get closure for what has happened to her in the past. I actually found the love story aspect of the story more likable in this next part of the trilogy and am looking forward to the final part.

Vengeance is so, so sweet.
This is the second book of The Journals Trilogy. And it definitely lived up to my expectations.

Nya Simpson does an AMAZING job with the narration .

Quinn is getting ready to meet up with her sisters and her twins. Stone has his team in place who are ready to finish this and keep Quinn and her family save. Quinn’s sister reveals a huge secret that she’s been keeping. Will this reveal why Raven stayed in contact with the man who destroyed their families lives? Will this tear the sisters apart or help them stick together?
This again is not for the faint hearted. But if you can stomach a bit of torturing the bad guys this is a must read.
I love that the book has no cliffhangers. But now its got me excited about the next book.
What does D.M. Earl have in store for us in the next installment!

VENGEANCE (THE JOURNALS TRILOGY BOOK TWO) AUDIO BOOK by D.M. EARL was a great continuation of Quinn’s story. I did not think I could go through so many emotions. I felt like I was developing and growing with Quinn. I originally was angry, vengeful, and full of hate but being in her head helped me process through what happened to her. I did not want to stop and cannot wait for the next part.

ANGUISH (THE JOURNALS TRILOGY BOOK ONE) AUDIO BOOK by D.M. EARL was such an emotional listen. I was warned but was not ready for how deep it would hurt to listen to all that Quinn went through. The story was well organized and I could feel the emotions in every chapter. I felt like the pacing and dialogue moved the story along well and I did not feel lost. I could easily have finished it one day if the subject matter did not make me have to take a break. I got super invested and found myself reacting as Ivy did in the book.

I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel going into the second book of the series but the author continued to move me beyond what I was prepared for. And the narration took the emotion to another level. Just an excellent overwhelming book that really moved me. Wow.

This book is riveting and full of emotion and the narration just took it to a very stirring level. The emotions are tangible and bigger than the book and just completely overwhelmed me. The narrator did a good job conveying the intent of the author’s work. Well done.

Vengeance (The Journals Trilogy, #2)Vengeance by D.M. Earl
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This story is the continuation of the first book Anguish which I had not read but although I did get the gist of the first book to then find this book as the Vengeance and revenge that Quinn wants to inflicted as mush torture on her tormentors but will she be able unleash the violence or will she fall at the last hurdle.

Stone and his gang is fully behind Quinn and will do anything for her, with the instant attraction he has too her can he fulfil what she wants to happened or will it break them apart. Quinn tries to hide the attraction to Stone as she at times blames in him in part for that fateful day.

I loved this story and although I followed the book I think it would be better to listen to the first book to get a greater understand of the actions behind Quinn and Stone. I loved the feel of getting wrapped into the story and feel with eat word spoken you are in the story living the action and evoke real emotion with each word listened to.

I will definitely download the first book and get the next book in this instalment and see how these two broken people end up and will they have their happy ever after.

Vengeance Audio Book by D.M. Earl is the second book in the Journals Trilogy. This is a series that does need to be read/listened  to in order as it is a continuation of the story. I was really looking forward to getting back into this story, I just had to know how it was going to turn out. I was intrigued to find out if Quinn would be able to go through with any of her ideas. I loved that we got to know all the crew a bit more, they added a little extra something to the story. At times I did find it just a little confusing when it switched POV’s suddenly however the narrator did a great job of portraying the change. I listened to this whole book in what felt like no time at all and, with the way it ended, I am very intrigued as to what is going to come next!

This book was very emotional and contains quite a hard hitting story line. I found the female protagonist a strong character despite what she had been through and although I didn’t love this book I am intrigued to know if she does get the revenge she seeks. I enjoyed how fast paced the story was and found this helped keep me focused on the plot and stopped my mind from wavering.
My reasons for not liking this were mainly that as the plot was so hard hitting and emotional I found the racy, sexual parts out of place with the general plot. I also found that the sexual encounters were overly descriptive but that’s my personal taste. I struggled with the narration as I found the narration strangely robotic but again that is my personal taste.

This is the second audio I have listened to in this series.  I highly suggest listening to the first book to help you enjoy this series.  I was pulled into the story by this narrator’s voice and enjoyed being engaged to the end.  It was easy to listen to and made me want to keep listening.  The voice is easy and fun and truly adds to the story.  This is a story full of action and revenge.  What happens next with this MC you don’t want to miss.  She only has a small amount of time to get her revenge, will fate allow her vengeance?  I highly recommend this audio, I loved it and so will you.

Vengeance is the second book in The Journals Trilogy by D.M. Earl. This series needs to be read/ listened to in order. You will be lost if you haven’t read/listened to  Anguish first.  It was a roller coaster of a ride from the very beginning and it never stopped. This book starts where the first book leaves off. Quinn is an amazingly strong woman who has been through unthinkable things. Stone and his crew have come to help settle the score. There are some explicit scenes in this book that could be triggers.  I listened to this book in one sitting because I just had to know how it ends. I’m now very intrigued to see what happens in book three. Can’t wait!!

 

This book was narrated by Nya Simpson, the same narrator as Anguish. Her voice was mellow and easy to listen to. She really brought the characters to life. I look forward to listening to many more books by her.

After listening to the first book in the series I was really looking forward to settling down with Vengeance and it didn’t disappoint. Once again the narration was really easy to listen to and I was easily engaged in what I was listening to. I liked that the read time was quite short; I listened to it in 2 sittings. There were some triggers in the story that made it difficult to listen to at times especially as it’s spoken it really does feel like you are listening to someone’s real life. Quinn’s story is quite powerful to listen to and is definitely thought provoking! I admire her strength of character and I am looking forward to seeing where her story goes in the next instalment of this series!

Anguish: The Journals Trilogy Book 1 Audiobook by D.M. Earl is a dark and twisted story that certainly leaves you wanting more. I wasn’t sure how this book would be properly portrayed as an audiobook and I was really surprised by how well it transferred. The emotion and the mystery all came through so well and I was hooked on the story almost as soon as it started. There was quite a slow and methodical tone to the way it was told which made it really easy to picture everything going on, only for all of the emotion to burst out with the dialogue. When it got to certain scenes in the book I found my heart breaking for Quinn as I imagined everything she must have gone through. My only gripe about this book is that every now and again the narration felt a little robotic however it doesn’t really detract from it being a great story. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book and I can wait for the next one.

VENGEANCE (THE JOURNALS TRILOGY BOOK TWO) by D.M. EARL
Genre: Romantic Suspense-Journals & Diaries-Letters & Correspondence
Listening Length – 4 hours and 2 minutes
Narrated by: Nya Simpson
I am a survivor.
Ten years ago, my world was shattered. One night changed my life forever by a sadist who took everything from me, just because he could. And while he did this, a green-eyed stranger watched and did nothing…or so I thought.
When my past and present collide, I am swept away by all the memories, horrors, and dreams of my past.
I want revenge.
And finally, after all the years of pain and sacrifices I’ve had to make, an opportunity presents itself. Within a 24 hour period, my tormenter and my green-eyed watcher enter my life once again.
Seeing this as my chance, I begin to make use of my blue journal, detailing my plans for revenge, taking matters into my own hands. Will I have what it takes to ignore what is right and wrong? To bring myself to make the men still alive pay for what they took from me? And how do I forgive the man I hold partially responsible when he’s the one supplying me with the means to get what I want?
With only a small window of time available, I have to be ready to take back my life, consequences be damned.
Because of my anguished past, my present will always be filled with vengeance.
I am Quinn. This is my life — my story.

I loved this book’s audio.  This is an author that has continued to impress me with her writing skills and attention to details.  This book is no different.  I loved listening to this book.  The reader had lots of emotion in their voice.  I had no problems listening or imagining being with the characters.  It was easy, fun and entertaining to listen to.  I don’t normally listen to books but I would go back for more from this one.  The reader brought the characters to life and pulled me into the story from the beginning.  I highly recommend this book.

This really wasn’t my kind of thing, I don’t know why but the story just didn’t resonate with me and I wasn’t particularly gripped. The writing wasn’t bad, but I just didn’t feel an affinity with the main character of this book. It’s a shame really because I was really intrigued. I don’t think its anything that Earl did or didn’t do, because I am certain that lots of people will find this enjoyable – it’s emotive, real and raw, what more could you want – I just didn’t for whatever reason.

I will say that I did like the description of the journals and the way they played into the story, the colour coding thing was an interesting touch that made me think it might be cool to do that myself. I don’t think I’d have the commitment though unfortunately. We are introduced to Quinn. She is the voice of the story, she comes across as a prickly character right from the get-go. Quinn is not exactly easy going but it is because something dark in her past always drags her back from the brink of happiness before she ever gets chance to truly settle into it. And when her past comes to smack her full force around the face it’s all Quinn can do not to unravel and round the pain.

Like I said, this has an interesting premise, and I am sure that a lot of people will find this enjoyable and entertaining. It just wasn’t for me.

This is the review I left when I first read the book back in 2017
**********************************************************HOOKED FROM THE START.
This book held me captive from start to finish. I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone.
It’s been a while since I’ve been so emotionally invested in a book. Quinn is a brave woman and the traumatic event that she went thru still gives me nightmares.
The way D.M. Earl paints the picture of that event with her words made me feel like I was there like Stone watching in horror.
Stone is the perfect protector. But I must say I started out not really liking him because I felt he could have done more to help Quinn. But in the end I fell in love with his character aswell.

I also love the fact that this book is written from Quinn and Stone’s point of view. Nice to get both of there perspectives.

This is not for the faint hearted. But I would read it again and again and again.
**********************************************************

So when I saw that it was available on audiobook I just HAD to get it.
What a completely different experience it is to hear this AMAZING book come to life in audio. Nya Simpson did an superb job with the narration.

The narrotor does a real good job of doing this story. Well done descriptive of anxiety. Past has caught up with Quinn Brother found her again the person that destroy alot of Quinns life.

Quinn running from her past

 

Walker is not a nice person he’s vicious. He got worse over time. He’s manipulation is beyond what you thought.

 

This is such an emotional listen. This is things that happen in real life it can be hard to listen to. The way that this is portrayed is one of the best I’ve ever know. There is alot of history and side effects from family history.
