Captivating read

Once again CJ Archer has pulled me into another series. Love when I’m invested in the characters and this time brings in the characters from another series.

The excitement of the story. The awesome description of events and characters. Such as clothing monster houses characters

There is not one thing that I disliked. The narrator is great. Love this series. This is my second listen

Another great one!

I own about 260 books on audible right now. There are some I have really enjoyed and there are some that I just play for some background noise when it gets to boring parts. The best compliment that I can give is one that I’ll give to this one- I didn’t zone out once. I didn’t feel like there was a lot of filler (hardly any if at all) and the narration was great throughout.

Doesn’t ring true to the times.

A conversation at the dinner table of mixed company discussing gay men, their origins, and love?? That would not happen in the 1800’s. Many times, things don’t fit. It’s definitely written by a modern person who wants to put today’s morality and ideals in people 200 years ago. I’m tired of virtue signaling in books. It just doesn’t fit. I have 20 minutes left and just like book 1, nothing really happens in the entire book. I’m not buying book 3 and I’m done with this author.
