Story4 out of 5 stars 9
Our flighty fae captor, Taneisha, lost the incubus Caden’s legacy to a thief in the night. Now, instead of the game she had planned for us to win back Caden’s legacy, we have to climb a mountain and go fist to feather against an immortal demonic bird-man with a chip on his shoulder. That’s assuming we don’t run across trouble along the way. Really, what could go wrong on a leisurely stroll up the side of a mountain in the Netherworld? Based on my track record over the last two days and my history of botching most magic I attempt, I’m not feeling all that lucky. Reeling from the ...

Good book, AI narration takes away from the story. Overall I enjoyed it and look forward to the rest of the series.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 12
Prepare to be whisked away on a steamy, paranormal journey of discovery with a fates mates twist! I’ve been sucked through a portal into faery along with five of the sexiest supernatural men. Now we have to work together to solve a series of puzzles before time runs out. I’m a failed mage who’s been hiding out from the supernatural community for years when a hot demi-god from my academy days shows up on my doorstep. Emrys is calling in a favor so I can’t refuse, but one look at him, and I kinda don’t want to anyway. I love my mundane life but I’ve sorely missed my magical ...

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 65
Do you know that the Sumerians believed that: The moon was actually a god child conceived unintentionally by the God Enlil and a maid? Or that humans were first created to do the chores on earth for the Gods and Goddesses? The ancient Sumerians lived a difficult life, and this is reflected in their myths. However, also reflected in their stories is their love for justice and the values which they most supported, among them beauty, honor, and truthfulness.

Great Stories
Reviewed: 11-11-24
Great stories and the narrator did a great job. i have no idea how he pronounced some of them. I knew of a couple of the stories from college courses, but this let me hear about others as well including heros, Deities, and adventures.

Once upon a time, there was a little boy. His belly full of laughter, his life full of joy. Until one day, something changed; stripped his innocence away. The hole inside making space for the devil to come and play.

I can't with the accents!
Reviewed: 03-23-24
it is a good story. one of my first dark romances. Slow start, but got better toward the end. The accents the narrators were using were killing me! I almost stopped. It got better when the two friends weren't talking as much, I could ignore the accents for the most part then.

In a see-through land our reflections live. They call us Sounds. They are our Echoes. And they think that they must die when we do. Is this why children are disappearing from the Sound realm? Because someone wants their Echo to die? Twelve-year-old Will Cleary tries to escape the frightening answer. But dangers sweep him into that magical, see-through land. And there, in a fortress filled with castaway children, a 200-year-old riddle lies buried.

Follow the adventure of William Cleary in this fantastic tale of magic and family love. At a young age, there is a tragedy in Williams's life, but can it be fixed? A family in one world is in turmoil while the fate of its parallel world, Echoland, hangs in the balance. Both must come together to save all, and William is the key to it all. This book will make you jump for joy, cry, and every emotion in between. Dew Pellucid paints an incredible picture with her words and allows the reader's imagination to envision a fantastic world and make it come alive indeed.
This book captured my attention from the first chapter. Narrated by B.J. Harrison, the audible book moves at a good pace. The chapters are short enough to allow for breaks when driving, or other activities, without cutting off in the middle. It keeps you wanting more with each chapter. I can see why it is an award-winning book. The charactersare three dimensional and attention to detail, even in the scenery makes the story come alive.
My only negative comment is that it was easy to get lost with some of the character names since it was an audible book, and I could not distinguish between some of them during the reading. I find this to be a common issue with audio books, and the fact it was enjoyable enough to listen to a couple of times made up for this.
I give The Chrystilleries of Echoland a rating of 4 out of 4 stars. I listened to it twice before writing this review and highly recommend it to others. If you are looking for an audible book to add to your list, this is a must listen to.
Due to some gore, I would recommend this to high school students and above or, for younger readers, parents to listen first and determine if it is suitable for their child. I believe it to be an excellent book for young adults and older to enjoy as well.Those with arachnophobia may want to skip a portion of the book. Depression is also included for those with sensitivities to that.
