I enjoyed listening to Lois Ridge read S. D. Simpers wonderful story.

I was interested and drawn into the story from start to finish. It is hard to find the words to express how much I really enjoyed this story but I will try.

An authors words in black and white was given life that painted a story in my mind.

I am glad I came across this author and look forward to reading and listening to more of her work.

S.D. Simper’s novels and novellas truly don’t miss—and neither do the audiobooks!

I’d read the ebook before, but listening to Lois Ridge narrate Beneath the Loch offered a chance to experience the romance for the first time all over again. Ridge has such a great range and distinguishes characters so well. I especially enjoyed the voice taken on for Olphia, it really matched the tone I imagined in my head the first time I read the novella. I definitely recommend both reading and listening to the story; that way you can experience its impact twice :)

Also, I don’t think just the words above can do this story and audio book exact justice, but if I could type out excited/frantic/elated screaming in the right phonetic configurations, I think that would get pretty close!

Must Listen AND Must Read!

I am enjoy listen to this story. I thought the narrating was good. The author explain the world setting and the different beings in it. The horror parts wasn't to bad but there was a shock moment for me but I got passed that. I received a free code for my review.

I enjoyed this novella for the most part. I think the narration was a little over done, which adds the feeling of unnecessary drama to some parts and diminishes the parts where the real dramatic narrating is needed. It's not a deal breaker by any means, but maybe a note for future audiobooks. The writer's descriptions of the fae were very well done. I'm not a visual person when reading but I really felt like I had a decent image of the water fae ( I won't even try to spell her name). All in all a good listen and I'm looking forward to trying more from this author.

Interesting dark fantasy

If you were trapped on an island, the only thing you would need to comfort yourself would be this book. It is absolutely packed with everything you can expect from a classic Simper tale and more: adventure, humor, love, magic and revenge all resonate clearly throughout the entirety of this novella.

The narrator, Lois Ridge, possesses a calming, soothing voice, which is quite perfect for the overall tone of the book. She reads with great inflection and just the right amount of energy.

But don’t just take my word for it-listen to the preview and you’ll be hooked.

So, what are you waiting for? But this book today and find out what happens Beneath the Loch!

This book did not disappoint. Character and world building were spot on. Loved the peak into the fae world. I found myself wrapped up in this book instantly. I’m hoping S. D. Simper continues to write these characters because I need to know more. The only thing I would have liked would have be a longer listen. Only because I enjoyed the two main characters so much. Give this book a listen and you won’t be disappointed.

Worth the listen

I loved this novella. Simper’s story telling is phenomenal, and Ridge’s narration truly brings it to life. I really enjoyed this, and hope to see these characters in more of Simper’s work in the future! 1000/10! Perfect for a walk or a car ride, short and sweet! :)

Absolutely Loved It!
