Nice story.

I really liked the story. It was predictable and not too heavy. The narrator does a weird thing with her
S es. Especially when the word ends in an S. It’s positively reptilian to the point of distraction. Ssssssssssss

Love these stories

I loved this book as much as I loved the first in the series. The narrators kid like voice grows on you. The story lines are well developed and somewhat predictable, but a page turner none the less.

plot lines repeated from other series

There is good character development and pleasant listening. The narrators voice is quite childish; I've heard her before and it is usually so.

Horrible narrator.

Narrator sound like she is whispering through entire story. Very irritating. Very hard to listen.
