Lacks humor, bad narration.

I enjoyed Shelly Laurenston's Pride and Badger series so much. The humor and the characters are such fun.

For My Kind of Town, though--this is not so. It is linked with the series I mentioned above because it is Smithvill and seems to have shifters with the same rules. There is little to no humor in this story and the main character's internal dialog is flat and uninteresting.

The narration is awful. The breathy, one dimensional voice is distracting and doesn't fit. She doesn't even attempt a NY or Long Island accent and her execution of a deep south accent is spotty and lackluster.

This just isn't up to the standards I'm used to from Shelly Laurenston.

This one is a lot of fun. I actually liked that it's kind of predictable. It made me laugh out loud a couple of times too . . . always a plus.

Books rarely make me cry, yet this one brought tears to my eyes several times. This is the poor little rich girl done perfectly.

This story is confusing. Too many times I couldn't tell who was speaking.
I did enjoy it and since I know the characters, the story made sense.
A good, not fantastic, read.

This one dips into the past. Two bodies discovered in the cranky neighbor's yard.

This book really needs to be read after the one that precedes it in the series.
It is, however, a very good story. The ghosts and Danielle's friends combine to foil a murder attempt.

Romy Nordlinger is a good narrator, sadly, though, this book has so many characters and she doesn't really differentiate between them well enough. It got confusing. There were times I had to rewind and try to figure out who said what. Also, all the ghosts sound exactly alike . . . so confusing
The story is quite involving, Marlow house is fairly full for Valentine's day with long and short term visitors. Then there's a murder.
A fun listen.

Danielle's best friend is a ghost, or is she? Her ghost has a reflection.
This story has so many components and the plot is a wonderful rollercoaster.
Thoroughly enjoyed this!
