This beautiful story left me wanting to visit Provence, to spend genuine time in this beautiful part of the world enjoying wonderful, fresh, simple food and the scent of lavender and sage in tge breeze.

Excellent ending

Évalué le: 2024-05-04

I enjoyed this series a lot. The central characters develop, grow, learn, and change in ways that make their eventual achievements believable (in this fantasy world at least). Bryce's attitude and deeply suspicious, manipulative nature put me off her character at some point in every book, including this one. Narrator is consistently good. Would love to see a spin off series centered around Therien.

More autobiography than anything

Évalué le: 2024-04-06

if you are interested in the personality of someone who sought to climb the 7 summits and died (mostly) on Everest you might enjoy this book. part 1 is about what happened to Weathers on Everest in 1995. Stop here if you're interested in his version of events.
Parts 2 & 3 are essentially autobiographies of Weathers and his wife. Part 4 is about Weathers climbing the 7 summits prior to attempting Everest. (Spoiler: His 1st climb was Denali where he turnedback before the summit. Then he summitted Kilimanjaro, Mt. Elbrus, Aconcagua, Vinson Mountains, and Carstenz Pyramid before attempting Everest.) Part 5 includes some information about his year long recovery and amputations.
Mostly, Left for Dead is the story of a self-centred man who never considered the impact of his decisions on anyone else, especially his family. it took a near death experience for him to change.

Listen to this before Ironwood!

Évalué le: 2024-01-28

This is an enjoyable listen for people that like this genre. Spicy scenes are varied among the couples. Overall, the narration is good - well paced and clear - but the supposed Nordic accents sound like cartoon German and there's no real attempt at a Scots brogue (probably for the best really).

Great book: Terrible narration

Évalué le: 2024-01-05

Peter Levine is a highly respected Psychologist and researcher. This book is essential for understanding the body's response to trauma. It is accessible (meaning that it's written for the general public) but is highly informative for professionals as well.
The narration is possibly the worst I have ever heard in any category. It somehow takes an interesting, well-paced, engaging book and makes it dull, slow, boring, and forgettable.
Buy Levine's book, but skip the audio version.

Love these characters!

Excellent narration. A few inside jokes that made me chuckle out loud. Like any good ensemble, this series is more about the strength of a whole than it is about any single character.

Narration is lovely and adds authenticity

Enjoyed this book as much as the previous one (The Ruin). I also recommend the two prequel novellas available through the Plus catalogue.

Bingeable listen

I was hooked in the first 5 minutes and stayed hooked through the entire book. Well written. Excellent performance by the narrator. Great balance between action and suspense. Couldn't put it down.

Absorbing!

Évalué le: 2023-07-01

Well-researched, meticulous narrative that paints a detailed picture of the lives of women in occupied Paris during WW2. This book will draw you into their experiences, fears, and courage. The narrator is outstanding. Her French and English accents are flawless and she handles American very well. It took me a while to catch on to dual time frames with 2 female protagonists, so pay attention to the chapter titles and dates. Excellent book. Highly recommended.

New Nora Roberts

Évalué le: 2023-06-17

I enjoy Robert's ability to create authentic people in realistic situations. She creates a window into the life of someone who could be real. Identity shows this talent perfectly.

Narrator is very good!

Overall this is an interesting and well paced book. Recommend.
