I'm on the fourth in this series and they are all excellent! Mercy Thompson is my favorite type of character, a real winner, humble, but stubborn and proud and she's a hero type trapped in Damsel circumstances, its like my own life, if there is a tornado once in a thousand years in flushing queens NY it hits my building, if a car is on fire on the news my mom calls and its actually my rental having an electrical fire, i'm not the hero but its what I aspire to be :) These characters and stories are a wonderful place to visit or lose yourself or find yourself.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 37
Nicholas Darrow, a strong-willed and independent young man, has grown up under the shadow of the Church of England and the loving but watchful eye of his father, an Anglican priest. Like his father, he too has both a gift and a burden in the form of psychic abilities. Although his father warns him to nurture his special powers with care, Nicholas can see no harm in the occasional dazzling "psychic flourish" - until one results in a friend's attempted suicide.

Hi I hate to write a bad review so must begin by stating that I am only about five hours into the unabridged audio version which is broken into three parts and is probably about 26 hours long. I've found no humor, nothing mythical and very little to even spark interest there has been nothing even slightly leading where I might get a bit interested about something to come. Its a loaf of white bread, white noise, I use it to sleep at night now. if anyone read this and can give me some hope i'd love to hear that it picks up at some point, and I will ammend this if it does zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzMaureen AKA Damsel
