The Podcast Chronicles Audiobook by Kathryn Dodson – Review by Laura Jones

This was such a great book and was so easy to listen to. In this book we meet Sue, a mother of 4 boys who had previously been an extremely successful accountant, but who had been out of the workforce raising her sons for the past 20+ years. Now that the boys are pretty well grown, Sue realizes that it’s time for her to decide what her next endeavor should be. When she discovers the plans to build an extremely oversized resort and theme park in her quiet and beautifully serene town, she realizes that the solitude she currently enjoys is being threatened by this impending monstrosity. With the help of family and friends, Sue launches an initiative to prevent these newcomers from moving in. However, there are many different things going on in Sue’s life that she must deal with. She is having marital problems with her husband Gabe, who spends more time in Denver than he does with his wife and children. She’s had a rough past with her mom and has strived to live her life in a way her mother hadn’t so that she doesn’t end up like her mom did. She also faces opposition on the fight against this new theme park. She launches a podcast chronicling this new proposed theme park, which slowly gains momentum. But will it be enough to sway the city council from approving this new theme park? And can she work out the relationships with her husband and mother?

This book was the first one I read by this author, and I was pleasantly impressed with it. It’s a fantastic story of how the main character goes on to try to save the town she’s living in. It’s very well paced, and has a cozy vibe to it; one I would classify as a “winter read-” perfect for curling up with a nice mug of something warm to drink in the winter chill. It gives the reader a warm feeling through the entire book.

This is the first book I have listen to by this author. I was enthralled with this story and look forward to more stories from Ms. Dodson. This was full of strong female characters taking on a big company, local politicians and the Chamber of Commerce to prevent a big resort being built and destroying the natural beauty of their valley.
This book is narrated by Katie Hagaman. She has a wonderful voice and really brought the characters in this book to life. Awesome listen!!

The Podcast Chronicles Audiobook by Kathryn Dodson – Review by Brandy Rymer

What an inspirational story of a mom who wants to fight to save the community that she calls her hometown. Sue Cleary retires from being a forensic accountant for the sake of raising her four sons and wants to help save her community from the evils of the politicians. Sue tackles the world of social media with the assistance of friends and family and creates a podcast in order to spread the word about what is going on. What a great, heartwarming book to listen to, it is so inspirational that we can make a difference in the world by doing our part and spreading the word about the woes of the community we see happening. Sue refused to stand by and watch as her hometown tried to become a tourist trap for travelers instead of the community she knew and loved. This was a great book to listen to while I was at home relaxing, or any time I was in the car driving around, or even riding as a passenger. What a great option it is to be able to enjoy the tale of a great book, and what a wonderful job they did with the volume and sound recording, in getting the characters to shine through with their personalities. Kathryn Dodson has written a wonderful book; I am looking forward to hearing more from her in the near future.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is an emotional, intense at times story following Devorah, a woman who has been broken in just about every way but ready to take back her life.

Though not everyone will be able to relate to her story directly, this is a powerful story with reminders that despite the many heartaches and traumas we encounter in life, we may have the opportunity to grow and find ourselves again. The author does a wonderful job developing Devorah’s character and connecting the reader to her story. The writing style is simple, but engaging and effective. If you’re looking for an emotional read with some redemption, look no further!

After reading Tequila Sunrise, I knew I wanted to read more from Kathryn Dodson. The audio version of Podcast Chronicles is read by Katie Hagaman, and I felt she read the part of Sue Cleary spot on- a determined woman, with a human side as she tries to save her town. I felt Katie captured the “can-do” attitude (with some hiccups) and growth mindset and resilience Sue’s character showed. The narration was also stellar and capturing the wide range of emotions Sue goes through, from her marriage to politicians to fellow town citizens. I would recommend the audiobook to anyone interested in standing up for what is right, for believing in a cause, and I personally enjoyed how the cause was environmental and saving hometown values.

The Podcast Chronicles
By: Kathryn Dodson

This is a fantastic story about friendship. The main character is Sue Cleary – she has been a wife and mother for a long time and she is unsure of where she fits now. She is wondering what meaning her life will have once all her kids are grown. She gave up her career to stay home and raise her family. When Sue reads an article about a land developer who wants to build a new amusement park. This really ignites something in Sue, and her son suggests that she start a podcast about her feelings. Through this venture she meets two more women and they form a fantastic friendship as they bond over a common mission.
This book was absolutely wonderful. I know many people can relate to the point where Sue is in the beginning. Looking at her life and wondering what happens next. I know I have been there. I also love that she takes something that is bothering her and turns it into a mission going forward. Her friendships she creates through this are absolutely wonderful. I definitely love this trio of women. I definitely recommend this story as it will leave you inspired and just feeling warm and fuzzy about the world.

The Podcast Chronicles by Kathryn Dobson is a really inspiring story. Sue Cleary is a 50-year-old married mom of four, who is trying to figure out her next steps in life. Her last two children are leaving home soon and she is trying to figure out in what direction she wants her life to head. When she gets wind of an out-of-town developer who is planning to build a resort in Durango, her hometown, she decides she can’t let that happen. Sue was a very relatable character. Listening to her struggle with finding her place after motherhood and trying to reconcile who she was then to who is now is something so many women and mothers struggle with. It was nice to see that despite her flaws, Sue benefited from major character development. It was frustrating to listen as she ran away from her issues and projected a lot of judgment and blame. However, by the end of the story she had resolved these things and learned a great deal. Sue proved that you don’t have to have all the answers, even later in life. She also gave a lot of inspiration for how to follow your dreams and start something new at any stage.

Mystical Midlife Mate: A Paranormal Women's Fiction Novel (Boudin, Barbecue, and Hoodoo Book 2)Mystical Midlife Mate: A Paranormal Women’s Fiction Novel by Reggi Dupree
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Reggi Dupree is a very talented author with her quirky, snarky, and entertaining characters that just pull you head first into these fun paranormal adventures! She and Daryanda Jones both have a very similar writing style that I truly love, making them two of my favorite authors. If you love funny humor and down-to-earth characters that just speak their minds, then you should definitely check this series out.

Mystical Midlife Mate is a paranormal women’s fiction novel and the second book in the Boudin, Barbecue, and Hoodoo Series. PWF are books that have main characters that tend to be a tad older, who’ve experienced life and learned to ignore the haters as they are okay being their authentic selves.

Gwen Carter, our main character, is nothing short of a firecracker who is currently struggling with her new-found powers and doesn’t need anymore to deal with. Unfortunately, her struggles are only going to get harder as her long lost dad shows up telling her what he expects her to do if she wants to keep her precious town of Hoodoo safe. And if you think that dilemma is bad enough, then you will be completely shocked to find out that Ash, Gwen’s hot, rich, smart, powerful boyfriend, may not be all he’s cracked up to be. Gwen meets her long lost relatives who have a sorted history with Ash, which makes her question him and their relationship. What is going to happen to Hoodoo, to Ash and Gwen, and will Gwen ever be able to catch a break? If you haven’t already, you should check out this amazing series. I am in love with this town and these people and can’t wait to read more!

This is the second book in the Boudin Barbecue, and Hoodoo series. As this book follows on from the first, I would recommend reading the first book prior to this one.
I loved the premise for the book, it was brilliant – the average woman’s struggles mixed in with the paranormal elements. It was written so well; you truly feel as though the story is real. It flows nicely and makes for fun, easy reading. The author’s descriptions create vivid imagery of both the scenery and the characters.
The characters are well-constructed and believable, and you can’t help but love Gwen! She’s fun, independent and has great rapport with other characters. The entertainment you get from following her story is incredible and you want to be able to jump into the narrative yourself to follow along the adventure with her.
I think this book is even better than the first and I am anxious for more!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Mystical Midlife Mate is Book Two in the Boudin, Barbecue, and Hoodoo series. If you have not yet read the first book in this series, I highly recommend that you do because it carries on with the zany adventures of the characters we met in book one. Gwen is back and has undergone a few transformations that do not sit well with her. Now on top of her already weird life she has transformed into a demon complete with wings, talons, and even fangs. As if that is not bad enough Gwen is suffering a midlife crisis complete with hot flashes and mood swings that make her less than pleasant to be around at the best of times. Enter Ash, the immortal Prince of Hell who has claimed Gwen as his soulmate and protector of her family. He has more than a few secrets that he guards closely regarding his relationship to Gwen’s family. When Gwen is reunited with some of her family, she learns some of those secrets and begins to have doubts about Ash. I loved the character of Gwen and how fierce, strong-willed, and feisty she was. Ash was a character that you love to hate as he comes across as all bad boy who will do whatever it takes to get what he wants. This was another amazing book by this author that was full of drama, action, suspense, mystery, intrigue, magic, vampires, demons, ghosts, and witty banter. I highly Recommend this book!

I thought she couldn’t get any more amazing. Lol, boy, was I wrong. Gwen never ceases to make me smile and giggle. This story is full of rocky roads, twists, and turns. I love her crazy family; it helps me feel understood when it comes to mine, minus the paranormal abilities 😂

I cannot wait to see what comes next!! I read this book in a day and a half, I could not put it down.

The Podcast Chronicles Audiobook by Kathryn Dodson – Review by Cindy Mayberry

Get ready for this story! Ok let me be clear. In this story Sue Clearly is following a different career. She went from working to having children and not working. Well yes she became a stay at home mom to raise her children, which we all know is an important job. As her last two are beginning their last years in high school, she wonders what will happen to her empty nest. Family is so very important, and that is who she has backing her up. There is a company wanting to destroy her little town of Durango and the forest around it. This can not happen! Not in her mind, therefore she starts a plan in motion. It was interesting how this strong woman went about to get things done. The fight is on and she has more support than she thought she had. That is all I am going to say! No Spoilers. I loved this story. How the family grew so strong, how the husband supported his wife and most importantly how she went about to make a difference. Just reading this story tells you how much the author invested in getting things right. The characters are perfect for their parts. Strong independent characters make things happen and even some emotions are pulled out. Great Story,  Fast paced and interesting as well. Well Done!

The is book 2 of 2 in the Boudin, Barbecue, and Hoodoo series by Reggi Dupree and she did not disappoint. I absolutely loved the first one (and you need to go read it before you pick this one up) and all of the characters are back at it again (well…for the most part) but some have newfound powers and others are coming to terms with things. I absolutely love Dupree’s character development and her plot line is action packed! I would classify this as a paranormal mystery but there is plenty of humor and wit to lighten it up. Definitely give this book a go!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a heartwarming and inspiring read which had me captivated throughout. Set in Durango, Colorado, fifty year old Sue Cleary worries that she’s lost her mojo having left behind her career as a high powered forensic accountant to raise her four boys. Now her sons have left home and with a touch of ‘empty nest syndrome’, Sue is bored. When she discovers that her beautiful town and its idyllic community is about to be destroyed by the plans of a New York developer, she is determined to defend her picturesque hometown. In order to stop it from becoming a tasteless tourist trap Sue goes about recruiting an environmental attorney and even gets her tech-savvy son to help with podcasting. However, it turns into the fight of her life as she confronts corrupt politicians and a conniving businessman, whilst contending with online trolls and unexpected betrayals. As Sue regains her passion and her mojo she becomes her hometowns champion as she stands up for a good cause, and realises the strength of her friendships. This was a wonderfully written novel with a great main character who is both likeable and relatable, the smart and feisty Sue with her inspirational personality, and I love that she’s a ‘later in life’ heroine as this is rare in novels. The descriptive narrative brought the setting vividly to life and I felt fully immersed in the storyline. This was an enjoyable and engaging read, and one which I definitely recommend.

This was a really refreshing book to read and something a little different than I normally would choose to read. The way in which the book is written really did make me connect with the main character Sue. She was such an uplifting and positive character; it showed her embracing new times in her life and the things that were important to her. I loved the connection she had and friendships she had with the other characters that appeared in the book. I think there are probably themes in this book that people can definitely relate to. The author made the characters in this book really accessible and likeable, some more than other though to be fair!
I am really looking forward to reding more from this author in the future.

This is the second book in the Hoodoo Texas Novel series. Reggie Dupree did not disappoint! Gwen must navigate finding out she was a demon, a mating bound, and her biological dad coming to pay her a visit. There are so many great parts in this story that my head was left spinning, much like Gwen. Again, Gwen’s kick ass humor brings a smile to my face. The ending felt a touch rushed but it did wrap up with the potential to another book in the series. There are many parts in the book that I felt empowered as women, which is a nice touch. I highly recommend it if you love romance, small towns, southern hospitality, and magic.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the Boudin, Barbecue, and Hoodoo series. I do highly recommend reading these books in order as this book picks up where the first book ended. This is an fast paced, engaging, Paranormal story filled with action, murder, mystery, fated mates and a whole lot more.
The characters that this author has created in what really brings the story to life for me. They are larger than life and literally jump off the page. Our main character Gwen is incrediable. She is funny and sassy and knows her own mind and isn’t afraid to speak it which sometimes gets her into worse trouble. Her attitude and banter with the other characters is what really makes me want to jump in and be a part of her circle of friends.
Things for Gwyn just keep getting more and more complicated. Not only can she see ghosts, lives with vampires and is approaching middle age and menopause she has now become a demon (full story in the first book) with this new addition to the problems she faces as well as magic from her father appearing Gwyn certainly has her hands full.
Add to this a smoking hot boyfriend who claims to be her fated mate whether she likes it or not and the fact he moves himself into her home to protect her from another threat that wants her dead her head is in a complete spin.

But that’s not all with her father’s return this brings up a whole load of questions mainly who can she actually trust? With everyone keeping secrets and hiding things can she trust anyone close to her anymore?

I loves how the author mixes the paranormal elements with something ordinary like a woman going through the menopause and the added complications and feelings that brings and the magical elements which had me hanging onto my seat wanting to stop the ride but unable to tear myself away until the end.
Amazing story, amazing characters. I loved it

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed reading Kathryn’s Tequila Midnight and was excited to see what The Podcast Chronicles held. What I found was a great read.
This fast-paced women’s fiction story finds one woman who is determined to save her community from those who want to bring about unwanted change. The characters are well developed and fully realised making them easily relatable. You will like some and others not so much but either way they are well written.
Sue is at a stage in her life where she doesn’t have to focus on family. Feeling a bit adrift she pours her heart and soul into her beloved town to stop developers trying to rip it apart. She decides to take the bull by the horns and show others that she means business.
Kathryn has cleverly woven twisty threads together to give us a tale that I was so invested in and wanted to lend a helping hand to the MC. She has added elements that make it hard to put down with challenges, greed, drama, family and frustration just to name a few. Her writing skills kept the pages turning because I had to know what was going to happen next.
If you like a tale with a bit of humour, backbone, grit and determination then this is a book for you.
I must say I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and eagerly look forward to reading more from this author.
