Story4.5 out of 5 stars 82
All Pyper Rayne—medium and coffee shop owner—wanted was the perfect vintage dress. What she got was a dead shop owner and a sexy ghost who’s suddenly everywhere—at her shop, in her car, and even lounging in her bedroom. But he’s not just any ghost. He’s a witch and able to appear in solid form...sometimes. If only he’d stop disappearing on her.

over the 5 books, you will seldom be surprised with the story arch. pleasant enough story and light which helped get through the series, though I doubt I'll remember much after a couple weeks.

This audiobook discusses being an autistic adult and feeling good about it. The neurotypical person assumes their experience of the world is the only correct one. What a load of hooey!

very ihonest and open
Reviewed: 12-27-22
A very sincere sharing of insight, advice and thoughts regarding being Autistic, knowing someone who is Autistic or may be Autistic.
There are points in the book where the author fluctuates between talking to someone on the spectrum or talking to someone interacting with someone in the spectrum. This can get confusing at times, but all of the information is insightful.
As I often say, if you've met one person in the spectrum... you've met one person on the spectrum. So don't take any singular information source as a complete guide, rather consider this book a very valuable addition to the chorus of knowledge on the journey of exploration and understanding.

Reviewed: 10-25-20
this story, more so than the first makes Watson to be such a boob as to make the story painful to listen.
the detective story overall is fine and I finished the story, but not anywhere near as satisfied as could have been possible

Truly a disappointing lark in the world of Sherlock Holmes.
Too much of a over dramatized, over emotional story with an excited author getting lost in telling a story.
Dreadful

the overall a lovely story that's well thought out it's one of the rare if only times when the plot is obnoxiously obvious and overall I couldn't care less about any of the characters or their fates.

Reviewed: 04-07-20
Very enjoyable second story in the what I hope will become the Pilot X sage. The story is unique in its continuation while still drawing from the world already established, which is a welcome experience.
If you enjoy a future styled universe with a character who feels real, flawed and freckled (i don't know if really freckled), you will be happy to sit in on this journey.

Pilot X takes you on a journey that will keep you engaged and lost in the story. I did at times struggle for a second to keep the thread clear in my head, but i few moments later I was back on track and emerssed again.
Do listen for the deeper meanings as they are present and will be unveiled in due time.
Narration is top notch and makes the book all that much better.
