Publisher's summary

Charlaine Harris, the number one New York Times best-selling author of the Sookie Stackhouse novels and the Harper Connelly Mysteries, and New York Times best-selling author Christopher Golden present The Pretenders GraphicAudio Production - first in a brand-new trilogy.

She calls herself Calexa Rose Dunhill - names taken from the grim surroundings where she awoke, bruised and bloody, with no memory of who she is, how she got there, or who left her for dead.

She has made the cemetery her home, living in a crypt and avoiding human contact. But Calexa can’t hide from the dead - and because she can see spirits, they can’t hide from her.

Then one night, Calexa spies a group of teenagers vandalizing a grave - and watches in horror as they commit murder. As the victim’s spirit rises from her body, it flows into Calexa, overwhelming her mind with visions and memories not her own.

Now Calexa must make a decision: continue to hide to protect herself - or come forward to bring justice to the sad spirit who has reached out to her for help....

I enjoyed it.

This was my first dramatic adaptation, since it was the only option. It was a fun listen. Moving onto the next one.

Sorry, just not my cup of tea

I absolutely love Charlene Harris, but this format and story really falls short. I have many of her series like Shakespeare, her vampire series, and I absolutely love her series with a gal who can tell how people died, as well as a few of her other books. I respect of other people enjoy this format And book. Thank you for putting it into the pluss category so I could sample it.

Too Short

Loved the production, imagery, and performances. Don't usually go for YA titles but enjoyed this.

Not for me

I love Charlaine Harris books I didn't like this (dramatized) audio. I would rather read it in print or listen to a single narrator.

half of this is not story

About an hour of this graphic novel is an interview with the author. The recording is already very short, and this comes across as intentionally misleading. you only get about an hour of actual storytelling.
