Depth of characters

Reviewed: 09-10-24

I wanted a little bit more out of this book more explanation of the time travel, however, I enjoyed each character and the depth of the relationships that the author was able to create

Not at all satisfying

Reviewed: 08-26-24

The good thing about this book is that the author is an historian evidenced by the beginning and the way her character researches.

Beyond that what a disappointment! The single most powerful witch according to her witch DNA is reduced to a pseudo Dom/Sub relationship with not only her vampire (think daddy) but also all of her coven and even the vampires mommy.

Diane is reduced to drivel being told she is “now married” because she loves her vampire, because he dictate what she wears, how she develops as a witch, even ending with referencing playing house and suddenly only imagining what life will be like with a vampire child.

Hard to imagine a witch coven bowing to anyone.

Won’t be returning to the series.

Great info, distracting audio

Reviewed: 07-30-24

I believe Ms Pinkola Estes has so much information to provide particularly to women of a certain age. And that respect this book does not disappoint as an aging woman I can relate to all of the information she provides. I respect her knowledge. I can apply directly to my life every day.
However, As someone who is at this time dependent on audiobooks for my reading, I found her narration distracting to a point that I had to speed it up so that I could continue to listen. I can imagine that I would enjoy it sitting around the fire or a living room hearth, however, the breathiness, the intrusive, laughing, the voices in the stories – they were all distracting and I would not listen to it again. I would, however, buy the book and read it if I could.

Not for me

Story is to heavy on the woman says no but really means yes and the creatures are only interested in domination sexually.

Too much focus

Reviewed: 05-07-24

Even the ending focused on sex.
The story can have juicy scenes without it being the coral focus.

This is the first book by Mr. Everett that I have read. I will read his whole catalog without question. I am humbled again by what is more true than any Mark Twain I could ever read.

We missed our chance

Reviewed: 02-24-23

The storyline gives a clear picture of what this country missed in 2016. Tense and accurate in the portrayal of what came happen when the government is run by conspiracy theorists. The performance was top. I do wish the last few pages had been shorter !

Excellent Resource

Reviewed: 09-06-22

I’ve read several books about witchcraft. This book is the most practical and real. The principles that Thorn Mooney presents are applicable to life in general. I wish a PDF came along with the audio version so I could remember the exercises.

The narration was good, but not excellent. Lacking in emotion made it difficult to connect at times, but easy to understand and also paced well.

Unbelievable - READ this book

Reviewed: 06-15-21

After I read another popular book about the “ills” of Appalachia, I was distraught. I know the strength of mountain people and especially women. The previous author presented it as purely “boot strap” and getting out. Cassie Chambers is the perfect antidote to my distress. Her book is factual, gives two sides of all stories that can be told, and provides a full, story-rich picture of Kentucky and the culture of the mountains. She writes of the agency people have as well as their own responsibility to their lives. She also tells the truth of the financial and societal struggles of the past and the present.

READ this book.

I am a follower of Green Day and particularly Billie Joe Armstrong. I would love for this to have been longer but was satisfied with what I heard and would love to hear more from such a fine performer!
