Lady Wynwood's Spies, Volume 1

Archer

De: Camille Elliot

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Part one in a Christian Regency suspense series with slow-burn romance and a supernatural twist

She met him again by shooting him.

Unmarried after four Seasons of towering over her dance partners, Miss Phoebe Sauber learns she will be cast out of her home when her father remarries. Feeling betrayed by her father and God, she misfires an arrow at an archery tournament.

But the arrow pierces a paper held by Mr. Michael Coulton-Jones. And strangely, the symbol drawn on the page is eerily familiar to her.

He met her again while searching for a killer.

Michael had quit his work as a spy for the Foreign Office when his brother was murdered. His investigation leads to Apothecary Jack, a criminal underworld lord gathering a powerful army through an alchemical potion that gives men supernatural strength.

Michael joins forces with Phoebe and her Aunt Laura, Lady Wynwood, who have found a vital connection between Apothecary Jack and a mysterious group plotting against England.

Now, only this team of misfit aristocratic spies stands against a treasonous organization that could enable Napoleon to conquer the world.

PLEASE NOTE: Like the novels published in Jane Austen’s time, this is a novel in multiple parts, projected to be 12 volumes. Each volume has a completed story arc, but this is NOT a stand-alone novel and ends on a cliffhanger.

It says a lot that I’d listen to AI

It says so much about the story, that I am willing to listen to this AI voice. Inflection in the wrong places, words mispronounced, and you never know which character is speaking because they all sound EXACTLY the same. AI voice is so terribly annoying, but the story and writing are so well done, I’m pushing through. Hopefully future books in the series will have a human reading!!!

Like the story but the computer voice daunting

I like the story and as an audiobook it could be sooo much better. The computer voice it terrible. It makes it sooo hard to get through. Very sad such a disservice to the author and story.

The story is very good when you keep track of it

The story line is exciting and has just the right amount of danger, romance, and the hob n nobbing of the regency era. The only problem is the AI reading. When the story says, she croaks out her answer, there is no croaking. The voice stays monotone for the most part. If it says he was exited to see her, the voice doesn’t relay that. If the British accent was supposed to make it an acting achievement, it didn’t. The voice makes it difficult to keep track of who is doing what since it all sounds the same.

Exciting plot

Great characters, exciting plot, just wish it was a human reading it. Even so, I can't wait for the next one.

I tried to finish…

This book is right up my alley. Paranormal with Christian undertones. Romance. Wicked step mother. All of it. The computer voice was much better than I thought it would be but it really did fail to get the point across at times. Also… I don’t know if it was the voice or the writing but it was really hard to stay engaged. Multiple times I’m like wait what’s happening? And I kept forgetting which character was which. There were two guys I kept getting mixed up and multiple girls I was like wait so that’s the aunt or the friend?… and who’s this girl? Again not sure if it’s because all their voices are the same or the writing was confusing or both. I’d love to give this a second shot if it got some adjusting. Hit me up I’ll preview revisions! Great concept.
