Raven Calls

De: C. E. Murphy

Narrado por: Gabra Zackman

Something wicked this way comes.…

Suddenly, being bitten by a werewolf is the least of Joanne Walker's problems.

Her personal life in turmoil, her job as a cop over, she's been called to Ireland by the magic within her. And though Joanne's skills have grown by leaps and bounds, Ireland's magic is old and very powerful.…

In fact, this is a case of unfinished business. Because the woman Joanne has come to Ireland to rescue is the woman who sacrificed everything for Joanne - the woman who died a year ago. Now, through a slip in time, she's in thrall to a dark power and Joanne must battle darkness, time, and the gods themselves to save her.

A grand listen

Where does Raven Calls rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

One of the best stories in urban fantasy today.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Raven Calls?

A heroine who is smart, stubborn but capable of learning. Willing to standup for her beliefs.

What does Gabra Zackman bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Zackman's reading brings out nuances that might be easily missed otherwise

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

A heroine with a sense of humor and capable of examining her motives, quite unusual.

Now this is a prime example of a whiner!

Don't let the whining deter you from this book because as it happens it was a major part of the heroine's development and growth. Although it will get on your nerves, at least it did mine anyway. I wish that the book had started with the mother's battle against evil and the mother-daughter relationship. I felt like something was missing there. This book does not have a romantic relationship in it, although one is eluded to. It's basically about a young woman struggling to find herself, realize her strengths, and having the courage to forge deeper relationships with those around her, while she fights the forces of darkness. There was plenty of fighting and I was able to enjoy the book.

This book was sooooo worth the 2 credits!

This was a wonderful story told with great skill. I have loved the heroine throughout all the previous books and especially this one. “Raven Calls” is a great story that was written with incredible intensity and depth. It’s a totally rich experience. I hated for it to end!

love!

I'm addicted to this series. recommend highly. I'm reading the audio version, and I listen every night. excellent research by the author. excellent interpretation by the reader.

set in Ireland

Slightly harder to follow due to its being in a locale I know little about. Much time travel. Or is it really time travel? Might be mind travel. Gary is more involved in the proceedings. I really like this series.

fix narration

I can't stand the pauses of this narrator. However, buy speeding up to about 1.2 I can finally enjoy this interesting and entertaining book series.

Holy Crap, so much is going on in this book

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I actually almost did listen to this book in one sitting, I went for a quick morning walk and 8 miles later, I was in downtown Denver. (The walk back was terrible!) There is so much that happens in this book I just got sucked in. I was really glad I went back and skimmed through the other books in the series before listening to this one though, otherwise I would have been a little lost! This is one I will definitely have to listen to again to pick up everything that happened.

Thank you <3

Just when you thought Joanne and Morrison were never going to get it together, it happens. It was totally understated and beautiful.

Series is growing

What was one of the most memorable moments of Raven Calls?

I like the way this book pulls separate strands from the others together. The interaction between Jo and her mother are strong and revealing.

Have you listened to any of Gabra Zackman’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

She has gotten better. I like her voices.
