Made My Walks Seem Effortless

An action packed story full of mystery and fun characters. I was quickly pulled into the storyline and remained within its grip until the end.

Great story, but performance too clipped

Bridget Blackwood is one of my favorite authors and I love this story along with it's characters. That being said, I'm not as happy with the narration. Ms. Worthy's speech intonation was very short. More of a staccato. Feelings and emotions didn't come across well because she spoke in such a clipped manner. I really feel like the story didn't come across as good as it is because of the performance.
I highly recommend the story!
