Indie Saint- VK Fox

Indie Saint
Book 1 The words of power
Length 7 hours 52 min
Narrated by Chelsea Stephens


Confused, so very confused  

"Jane Davis has modest new-adult goals: pay the bills, keep her job, and - oh yeah - control her raging saint-like superpowers before they kill her"

I really struggled to understand the storyline, its weird and they way its way its written it makes it difficult to follow and quite boring. I will say its an interesting concept that a person can obtain power by reading a book infused with magic, just didn't like they way this one was written.

Wont be listing to others in the series 
 
Chelsea Stephen needs more practice at narration I feel she has potential and I will listen to her other readings.

The Invisible life of Addie Larue- V.E Schwab

The Invisible life of Addie Larue
Length 17 hours 10
Narrated by Julia Whelan


"Never pray to the Gods after dark"

"France, 1714: in a moment of desperation, a young woman makes a Faustian bargain to live forever and is cursed to be forgotten by everyone she meets."

My greatest fear is not the dark or spiders it is to be forgotten, this book was amazing and upsetting. imagine meeting people over and over again and them never remembering but you remember EVERYTHING and everyone. Being unable to leave a mark on the world not even being able to use your own name for 300 years! For Addie you will only remember her while she is there as soon as the door closes behind you you forget she ever existed.

This is don't make a deal with the devil story, the story often jumps around in time to learn how and why she made a deal for freedom.

so worth a listen, I was engrossed from start to finish.
It is a story I wont forget in a hurry.

Narration was really good and suited the characters with good pacing 

its currently free in the Audible plus catalog

The Unconventional Heroes Series - L.G. Estrella

 

Two Necromancers, a Bureaucrat and an Elf

Two Necromancers, an Army of Golems and a Demon Lord

Length 13 hours 5 min (Publishers Pack)

Narrated by Fred Berman

LOVE IT! so funny!

“People often said that the only certainties in life were death and taxes. As a necromancer, Timmy knew better. Taxes were the only certainty in life, especially when they were collected by an agency that was remarkably bloodthirsty and well organised.”
― L.G. Estrella, Two Necromancers, a Bureaucrat, and an Elf


After nearly being eaten by his latest creations, a zombie hydra-dragon-bear, wanted criminal Evil Master Necromancer Timmy and his scheming dark shadow welding adorable 10 year old apprentice Kaite decide its time for a less dangerous career path.

I love the characters in this book  

  • Timmy a shovel welding master necromancer
  • Katie a 10 year old adorably evil necromancer apprentice with plans to over throw her master
  • Gerald a bumbling bureaucrat terrified of his own shadow and enjoys meticulous paperwork
  • Avraniel a pyromaniac elf  with love of killer plants
  • Invisible Nija Rats!
I feel like this is a DnD campaign thats been written down with how surprising it can be

Fred Berman does a fantastic job at the narration, his pacing and sense of humor plays so well for theses books. He narrates the other 4 books and I cant wait to listen to them.

You can find the Publisher pack for free on audible plus right now!
