About this listen

I had three loves in my life: my daddy, him what my mama killed in cold blood; my son Henry, God rest him; and tall as an oak Riley Treadwell. I lost all of 'em, one way or t'other, 'til Riley showed up on my stoop with a monster problem and tried to wiggle his way back into my life. Only, weren't no monster bothering him; was the one bothering his ex-girlfriend what'd stirred up a hornet's nest out on Lake Burton amongst the muckity mucks. Weren't no never mind to me, see? I was fine letting well enough alone, 'cept curiosity got the best of me, and Riley, well. He weren't above using that silver tongue of his to persuade me 'round to his way of doing things. If I'da listened to my gut, maybe I woulda avoided stepping knee deep into somebody else's trouble. Then again, I ain't never been one to heed a warning when monsters come a-calling.

Excellent start to a series

This was a good start to a series, so good that the book ended way too soon for me. The narration was excellent, though the accent of the main character took a little getting used to. I look forward to listening to future books.

A great story

What a unique name . Sunshine walking stick, I love it. I was so glad when sunny caught the woman with the stolen ring & then broke her nose. But now she is marked by the sea God & that sounds eerie. Great characters & a well developed story. The narrator did a phenomenal job. Can't wait for book 2.

Good Listen

This was an interesting story, but not as paranormal as the description says. This is way backwoods Appalachia in the telling of the narrator. She does a decent accent and gave a different tone for the other characters. This is a slow burn story with romance and mystery and a minor god thrown in. I will be looking for the next story to see how it goes. There are sad elements to the entire story because of the loss of her child, the story will keep you interested.

A fantastic first book

Sunshine Walkingstick is a fascinating character, she is both strong and determined and proud as well as fragile and caring and hurt by life. She comes across as the perfect ordinary person forced to do extraordinary thing. She's very down to earth but in touch with the paranormal, in almost every way she's a mass of contradictions. I couldn't help but like her.

Riley comes across as a typical 'all American' guy but as the story progresses I got the impression that there's a lot more to him than we've seem so far.

In fact quite a few characters might turn out to be more than they seem and I'm eager to see where the second book will take me.

The story overall is wonderful I couldn't stop listening, I finished the whole book in one sitting, putting off other things that I had been planning to do.

The narration was amazing, the accents were impressive and the overall delivery was fabulous, I can't think of a single part of the delivery I didn't enjoy, very impressive!

This book was supplied free by the author/narrator/publisher and I voluntarily wrote this honest review.

Enchanting Southern Supernatural Detective

This story leads in with a southern supernatural detective from a family with a lot of diversity to put it lightly! The family dynamics play into the very facets of the character herself as she takes on the newest mystery.

Her childhood friend and crush is jumping at the bit to reestablish this relationship. His tenacity and charm are very engaging.

The more you listen the more you want to listen more. I am looking forward to the rest of the series.

pretty good

I quite enjoyed this, both the story and the narration of the Audible. I struggled at first with Rebecca Winder's version of a rural accent. It, combined with Roman's phraseology, came across as artificial at times, more of a stereotypical mountain-speak than anything realistic. But I got used to it eventually.

I generally liked this. I liked the characters, the mystery and the romance. But I struggled at times feeling like the romance overpowered everything else and, well, this really doesn't feel like a first book. The characters have a lot of history and a certain amount of background is left unexplained. I kept feeling like there must be a prequel out there somewhere. (There isn't as far as I know.) Some of this feeling probably would have been ameliorated by fleshing some of the plot points out a bit and bringing her whole paranormal investigation into the open earlier. As it was, I wasn't even sure she'd had paranormal cases, outside of her lost son, before the events of the book, until it was finally mentioned toward the end. It felt like yet one more thing readers were just supposed to know already.

All the same, it was a fun read. There was a certain amount of humor and I'd be open to continuing the series.

love it a blend of mystery and paranormal

The writing drew you in immediately. Blended normal backwoods life with the paranormal world. The narrator did a wonderful job. I immediately bought the rest of the series. I was given this audiobook free for an honest review.

An Awesome Listen

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request, and have voluntarily left this review. I really enjoyed this novel, the story has unique with interesting characters and a strange mystery to solve. There is lots of suspense in this fast moving tale that is sprinkled with humour that revolves are normal and supernatural crimes. I found it very interesting and was somewhat disappointed when it ended so soon. I'll be the next book in the series to listen to while traveling.
