Buy It, Love It, Buy More

If you were trapped on an island, the only thing you would need to comfort yourself would be this book. It is absolutely packed with everything you can expect from a classic Simper tale and more: adventure, humor, love, magic and revenge all resonate clearly throughout the entirety of this novella.

The narrator, Lois Ridge, possesses a calming, soothing voice, which is quite perfect for the overall tone of the book. She reads with great inflection and just the right amount of energy.

But don’t just take my word for it-listen to the preview and you’ll be hooked.

So, what are you waiting for? But this book today and find out what happens Beneath the Loch!

Worth the listen

This book did not disappoint. Character and world building were spot on. Loved the peak into the fae world. I found myself wrapped up in this book instantly. I’m hoping S. D. Simper continues to write these characters because I need to know more. The only thing I would have liked would have be a longer listen. Only because I enjoyed the two main characters so much. Give this book a listen and you won’t be disappointed.

Very enjoyable

I enjoyed listening to Lois Ridge read S. D. Simpers wonderful story.

I was interested and drawn into the story from start to finish. It is hard to find the words to express how much I really enjoyed this story but I will try.

An authors words in black and white was given life that painted a story in my mind.

I am glad I came across this author and look forward to reading and listening to more of her work.

Captivating little bedtime story

This dark twist on old tales of mischievous fairies will keep your attention from start to finish. The author paints an intricate setting for the story and the narrator is pleasant.

Must Listen AND Must Read!

S.D. Simper’s novels and novellas truly don’t miss—and neither do the audiobooks!

I’d read the ebook before, but listening to Lois Ridge narrate Beneath the Loch offered a chance to experience the romance for the first time all over again. Ridge has such a great range and distinguishes characters so well. I especially enjoyed the voice taken on for Olphia, it really matched the tone I imagined in my head the first time I read the novella. I definitely recommend both reading and listening to the story; that way you can experience its impact twice :)

Also, I don’t think just the words above can do this story and audio book exact justice, but if I could type out excited/frantic/elated screaming in the right phonetic configurations, I think that would get pretty close!

A horror love story

I am enjoy listen to this story. I thought the narrating was good. The author explain the world setting and the different beings in it. The horror parts wasn't to bad but there was a shock moment for me but I got passed that. I received a free code for my review.

Interesting dark fantasy

I enjoyed this novella for the most part. I think the narration was a little over done, which adds the feeling of unnecessary drama to some parts and diminishes the parts where the real dramatic narrating is needed. It's not a deal breaker by any means, but maybe a note for future audiobooks. The writer's descriptions of the fae were very well done. I'm not a visual person when reading but I really felt like I had a decent image of the water fae ( I won't even try to spell her name). All in all a good listen and I'm looking forward to trying more from this author.

The legend of the loch lives again!

I enjoyed every second of this story, Mari and Ophelia are my favorite characters. It has erotic horror element with a dark fantasy romance. And the narration was a very interesting thing to listen and made the story more fun. Giving these characters voices to help picturing them in your head better, while listening to it. My favorite is when the takes a more horror romance approach by the end, but still has that romantic fantasy feel.

Excellent listen!

My only issue is this story is to short! This story was very interesting and I highly enjoyed listening to Mairi as she struggled with the choices laid before her. 10/10!
