The story was well told. I was surprised that the 2 main characters had great electricity yet didn’t fall for each, Good book, great listen.

This series of How to Be a Badass Detective follows How to be a Badass Witch. I missed Stephanie becoming a witch, but it was implied earlier. I felt there were a few areas that could have been expounded on, such as exactly how did they determine where the enemy was. Te battle was short. But the characters were the same and it was pretty good easy listening.

Kira is a witch, but hadn’t it. Her character’s thoughts and emotions are appropriate for her character’s age and her character is well developed. The supporting characters meld well with the story. The only not quite believable is the purported age of the main antagonist. The stories are well written and the narrator is excellent! I binged-listened to the 3 books!

Story
On September 11, 1999, humanity made a monumental discovery in the vastness of space. Scientists uncovered an asteroid of immense scientific importance—a colossal celestial entity. As massive as an aircraft carrier and towering as high as the iconic Empire State Building, this cosmic titan was later named Bennu. Remarkable for much more than its size, Bennu belonged to a rare breed of asteroids capable of revealing the essence of life itself. But just as Bennu became a beacon of promise, researchers identified a grave danger.

Dull dull dull. I listened up to only 2 hours and maybe 30 minutes left. Main character narrates the story of a space mission to fly by an asteroid and scoop up a sample to take back to Earth.

Incognito
Reviewed: 09-20-24
The main protagonist of the story is named Valerie, with a last name (phonetically) Kyrie, and is frequently called Val Kyrie by her coworkers. She has grown up with a military family and trained in martial arts.
Being recruited by Valkyrie, Inc. she is sent on a ‘testing’ op. I’m still not sure why they sent her to a potential hotbed on her 2nd day. But she has been touched by Odin and things evolve from there.
Well read and interesting premise, I do like a book with strong women.

What is it about the cat that captivates the creative imagination? No other creature has inspired so many authors to take pen to page. Mystery, horror, science fiction, and fantasy stories have all been written about cats.

Should be subtitled: "For People Who Hate Cats"

A nice variety
Reviewed: 09-19-24
These are stories that have been published elsewhere by well-known authors. The caveat is there has to be a cat necessary to the story. The narrators change to match each story. There is such a wide variety of stories to enjoy!

Obsession

The author delved into the psyche of this young paleontologist quite deeply. It was a slippery slope. There should have been more regarding the last 3 weeks of his employment. I enjoyed the book and have recommended it to others.

I have listened to Kohanick’s story of Wizardoms Book 1 several times now and enjoy it every time, listening straight through. The characters have depth and the storyline is internally consistent. The Narrator is easy to follow. Now to binge on Book 2 of the series!

Infighting

The struggle of people against aliens should have been an obvious ‘us vs. them.’ Most of the story was ‘us vs. us.’ It was gory and violent but strangely enthralling. The end was unexpected. I’m going to look forward to the sequel.
