The decision has been made. Jessie has taken the magic and all the weird that goes with it. Including wings. There's only one problem - she can't figure out how to access them. Through a series of terrible decisions, Jessie realizes she must ask for help. Gargoyle help. But she could've never predicted who answers her call - he's an excellent flier, incredibly patient, and a good trainer. He's also incredibly handsome. And interested.

Another entertaining installment in the Leveling Up series! I found the interaction between Jesse and Damarian particularly funny. But the entire story is smattered with laugh out loud moments, which probably makes me look a bit nutty during hikes, or when doing chores around the house. Oh well!
Also, more accolades to Nicole Poole for breathing so much life into this story. She is an amazing talent.
As always, I look forward to the next book. Hope to see it soon.

At last, listeners can experience Edward's version in the long-awaited companion novel, Midnight Sun. This unforgettable tale as told through Edward's eyes takes on a new and decidedly dark twist. Meeting Bella is both the most unnerving and intriguing event he has experienced in all his years as a vampire.

Reviewed: 08-08-20
I am so happy that this book was finally produced. It saddened me greatly when the original attempt was thwarted. I'm very glad Stephanie Meyer got back on this horse. I enjoyed the original Twilight series very much, and this compendium of Edward's thoughts adds much to the story. Honesty, it would be wonderful if there was a complete rewrite of the original work from Edward's POV. But I realize that may be asking a lot. I am most certainly pleased with this work!
Also, I want to mention the reader, Jake Abel. He did a great job with all the characters in the story, but of course, especially Edward. Thanks to Author, Reader, and everyone else involved in this production. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

A DELICOUSLY WICKED FAIRYTALE

- By: Kresley Cole
- Narrated by: Robert Petkoff
A wonderful series!
Reviewed: 06-02-20
I just completed all of this series books (so far), and I enjoyed every minute! Kresley Cole is an excellent story teller. And (pet peeve for me) she doesn't ever overuse a particular word or phrase within a chapter/scene/page. Each scene is it's own incident. A very well written book.
As for Robert Petkoff, he is extremely talented. Each character was absolutely separate in personality and voice. Amazing. I can hardly wait for the next book in the series (Summer 2020 per Amazon). I hope the Audible comes out at the same time, but if not, I'll still get it as soon as it does.
A terrific read! My thanks to both author and reader.

I love this series! Breene gives parameters of the universe in a timely fashion, and adds details at perfect times later.
Poole gives a great performance with her spot-on interpretations and subtle but notable vocal variations.
Hoping KF Breene will be continuing this story soon. Can't wait to see what happens when Magnum steps in.
Thanks to both author and reader for a fantastic ride!

Story3.5 out of 5 stars 80
I’m an occultist living in a haunted brownstone in upstate New York. The building is a ghostly double-image of itself, like a picture painted brightly over an older, weirder picture. It’s an equinox place, my mother once said, where dark and light things are equally in power. I want to tell you, dear strangers, why I was there and what I found.

It kept me spellbound with all the imaginative infirmation about how ghostly interaction.
Performance s were strong and we'll read. Background music was very well done and did not interfere with the story. Great work by all concerned.

I really enjoyed this book! This is my favorite book of this series, so far.
The story moved well. I was never wishing the characters would hurry up and get on with it. But the best part was Arabella's dragon! She was hilarious! All the better because of Mr. Davies interpretation. Though I have enjoyed all of his reading of the dragons throughout this series, he gives a wonderful performance of Arabella's dragon. Just the right amount of sass!
As a team, Ms. Donovan and Mr. Davies are very well matched.

Reviewed: 06-21-18
I started reading this series as I was "between" other books, and I am very glad I did! The author paints a realistic picture of how the world would likely treat a "new" species, regardless of the good that they offer, and the thanks that they deserve. In this installment, the push to change minds and laws begins, and the story is very well told by both author and reader. I look forward to continuing with the rest of the books.
