About this listen
Rated five stars by Readers' Favorite and winner of the 2022 Audiobook Reviewers Choice Award, the first adventure of Private Ivy takes us back to 1939, and a girl named Ivy Virtue. Her father is an ex-cop, and her mother is the first Puerto Rican woman to be a successful private detective.
When that mother is stricken with terminal cancer, and that father becomes an alcoholic, Ivy throws herself headfirst into a series of bizarre and lethal cases that push every one of her limits. Before her first case is said and done, the girl they call Private Ivy will also be known as something else: legend.
Twelve actors, sound effects, and a full musical score bring this ground-breaking audiobook to life.

Story
Like millions of Americans, Dr. John VanDuyne is stunned to watch President Tom Winston announce his plans to legalize narcotics in a radical bid to destroy the power of the drug cartels. Especially since, as Winston’s personal physician and a government health spokesman, VanDuyne might have expected some prior warning. And now he’s going to be right in the firing line when the uproar begins. For President Winston, his daring plan could turn out to be political suicide. For VanDuvne, it’s going to be much worse than that.

In sharing his stories, Atlas reveals the philosophy by which he lives. Like Teddy Atlas - inimitable, tough, honest, and wise - this book inspires. It is about so much more than boxing. It is a story of overcoming hardships, of compassion for those in need, of tremendous personal integrity, and of personal and professional triumph.

My name is Quinn MacKenna, and magic doesn’t work on me. When I’m not getting roped into bar brawls in Boston, I’m usually acquiring - stealing is a form of acquisition, you know - dangerous magical artifacts to turn around and sell them to the highest bidders. But I prefer to be paid in favors, not money. Because favors are a hot commodity in the Land of the Fae. Favors are the only currency that will buy the answers I seek: Why magic doesn’t work on me, and who my real father is.

FANTASTIC STORYTELLING!!!

There was a moment in private ivy that I felt robbed of a story moment! However, thanks to the brilliance of the structure we late revisit that moment and I got my closure. It really is great and I like that we really get a sense of our main character. Even though she is young she is well beyond her years and relatable. The writer really allows you the reader to see the world through her eyes which I fully appreciated. I definitely recommend!!!

The narrator, cast and musical score (yes, I said musical score) were unlike anything I've listened to. The storyline was fun and developed, and the characters were deep and evolving.
I'm very excited to read the rest of this series by Steven Cortinas. It's part comic book with villains and super heroes, it's part suspense with a who done it feel, and all around it feels like you're watching a movie with your eyes closed ; unless you're driving, keep your eyes on the road! I like that it doesn't lend itself to one genre. Like I said, Private Ivy breaks all the rules!
