When I was looking for Tales of Mystery and Imagination, I looked for an unabridged audio version. The stories themselves were not abridged, but this didn't include all of the stories that are in the Tales of Mystery and Imagination. I wish I had know that before I got it. The narrator was pretty good, but I did have to speed him up to 1.4.

Story
When Nina Linden is hired to landscape a private island off the New England coast, she sees it as her chance to rebuild her failing business after being cheated by her unscrupulous ex. She never expects that her new client, software mogul Deacon Whitney, would see more in her than just a talented gardener. Deacon has paid top dollar to the crews he’s hired to renovate the desolate Whitney estate - he had to, because the bumps, thumps, and unexplained sightings of ghostly figures in 19th-century dress are driving workers away faster than he can say “Boo.”

More sex than I like

Would you try another book from Molly Harper and/or Amanda Ronconi?
No. Molly Harper is a really fun author. She is very witty, but the sex was too graphic for me.
Has Better Homes and Hauntings turned you off from other books in this genre?
No. I will still try paranormal stories.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Disappointment. I was loving the story except the swearing and the sex. It was really fun.

Actress Clara McCallum just got her big break. She’s thrilled about landing the lead role in a big WWII film. But her dream-come-true excitement is short-lived. She’s just received devastating news and has been reeling ever since. The last thing Clara wants is to spend Christmas alone in New York City, but she’s determined to stay on location for the movie. Anything for her craft, right? Which is perfect since she’s playing a woman who’ll do anything for the love of doomed soldier Jed Landry.

Would you try another book from Wendy Markham and/or Justine Eyre?
No.
What could Wendy Markham have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
The book was slow getting into it and then I found the sexual content too graphic.
What didn’t you like about Justine Eyre’s performance?
Her voice drove me crazy. She has an angry sound, like she's reading through gritted teeth. I found the characters whiny and annoying when I was listening, so I switched to reading.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
I was a little bored at the beginning...I was annoyed by the characters when I was listening, and I was disappointed by the sex scene. It was out of place, especially in 1941.
