About this listen
It's the summer of 1963, and Gabriella Farnsworth is a newly minted London traffic warden.
She's used to temper tantrums, swearing, and threats, but finding a dead body is an entirely new low.
She isn't interested in getting more involved than she already is in the investigation into the man she found's death. But when a few days later, she stumbles over a second body lying feet away from where she found the first, she can't avoid it.
She knows the streets of her route and the people on them, but she is absolutely astonished when New Scotland Yard discovers the art gallery near where she found the bodies is a front for mixing up a new psychedelic drug.
Suddenly, the reason for the killings starts to make sense, but what neither she nor the New Scotland Yard detective assigned to the case understands is that the killer's agenda is more complex than a drug turf war, and by the time Gabriella works it out, it just might be too late...

Story
Rose McKenzie may be far from Earth with no way back, but she's made a powerful ally - a fellow prisoner with whom she's formed a strong bond. Sazo's an artificial intelligence. He's saved her from captivity and torture, but he's also put her in the middle of a conflict, leaving Rose with her loyalties divided. Captain Dav Jallan doesn't know why he and his crew have stumbled across an almost legendary Class 5 battleship, but he's not going to complain. The only problem is, all its crew are dead - all except for one strange, new alien being.

Story
Ava is committed to vengeance against the man responsible for the death of her parents. The same man, the queen's herald, kept her prisoner for two years, until she escaped with Luc, a warlord bent on vengeance just as fierce as her own. He's forged a powerful army of people from all through the region, called the Rising Wave, to march on the Kassian royal family and smash its corrupt power under the weight of their anger. But for Luc, just as for Ava, his true motive is a lot more personal.

Even better, no one suspects she is human. Masquerading as a goblin Traveler, she roams Reality in her glittering van pulled by her two trusty world walking birds, Warp and Weft. But when a storm of cosmic chaos strands her in an outer thread, the only refuge in sight is the legendary Darkhouse of Doom. Goblin legend says it is cursed; that the appearance of the wandering darkhouse foretells the appearance of world-devouring monsters and the death of all who see it.

Story
I can turn into a housecat. It’s a fun magic, except in a world filled with vampires and werewolves, it doesn’t exactly make me a powerhouse. Instead, the supernatural community has classified me as an outcast, which means one thing: picking on me is open season all day, every day. The local fae are the worst of all, and it’s during one of their regular “capture the cat-girl” sessions that I shift into my cat form and meet HIM for the first time.

New ER doctor Alexi Sur always intended to join an aid agency. She'd just expected to work among humans. When the Pax Galactica Corps becomes her only option (don't ask—the debts aren't hers, but the family is, much to her regret), Alexi finds herself traveling the galaxy and learning alien physiology and culture, all while becoming a reality TV star. Being pursued by camera drones and starring in her very own Welcome-to-the-Universe documentary was never on Alexi's to-do list.

Captain Cherry Pendit is a very improper oracle. A proper seer warns the hero, then retires to the luxury of her temple while the hero saves the day. Pfft. Boring. Cherry doesn't need a hero to defy fate. In fact, she intends to rescue the hero. There might be a few bumps along the way—like an entire alien species her oracular talent didn't warn her about—but Captain Cherry Pendit of the Delphic Dame is prepared to adapt and overcome. If only the pirates, the good guys—who might be bad guys—and her allies would just stop freaking interfering by pushing their own stupid agendas.

The plan was to run, live under the radar, survive. My life’s been destroyed by some very bad people and everything I know is gone—career, friends, family. I thought I could hide as a bartender at New Orleans’ hottest new club, Ember.

Great story. Great narrator.
Big fan of this author, but my first time with her exploring this genre. I definitely recommend it. Overall, a simply great story; suspenseful without too much gore and with an appealing, secondary slow-burn romance (implied, not explicit) that turned into something fantastic by a versatile and engaging narrator. Absolutely wonderful.

Pretty good
‘Ticket Out’ by Michelle Diener is the first in a series. There was action and interesting characters. However, considering this is Michelle Diener, I was hoping for light fantasy or science fiction. Unfortunately, it wasn’t what I was expecting or hoping for. I probably won’t continue with this series.

Enjoyable
I got the Kindle version when the book first came out and really enjoyed it so I was hoping the audiobook would be good. I was not disappointed. In my opinion the narrator was an excellent fit for the main character and did well with the male characters as too.
The story moved forward at a pretty even pace and felt very much like a beginning or a prequel. That's not to say it wasn't a complete story because it was. No cliffhangers here thank you very much!
I felt like I was being introduced to the neighborhood and the time period. It's set in the 60's which is a couple of decades before my time but the author is good at her craft so it never felt too foreign.
It's a mystery but not an edge of your seat or Sherlock Holmes kind. For me it skirts the edge of cozy. I just wanted my knitting a blanket and a cup of tea.
I really liked the main characters. They were intelligent, resourceful, relatable adults and I look forward to hearing more about their lives and future adventures. Thank you Mrs. Diener for another fun, low stress story about adults who act like adults. I will be buying a physical copy of Ticket Out ASAP.

Excellent story and performance! Where’s Book 2?
Interesting story with a mix of cultures, accents, intrigue, bad guys and good guys. set in 1960s London. The traffic warden aspect was a unique insight. I’ve seen them depicted in movies and tv shows but only as a backdrop. Interesting. Eager for Book 2.
