Within the Mind

In the Mind, Book 1

De: Alice Winters

Narrado por: Joel Leslie

Seneca is the complete package. He's smart, sexy, and confident, much to Chevy's annoyance. They've worked with each other for two years, and even though Chevy might secretly find his partner charming and attractive, playful harassment is all they have.

Chevy was born with a unique gift that allows him to go into the memories of others. As detective, he uses this ability to find peace for victims who have been hurt or attacked. He delves into their memories and can pick out minute details that will help them put the criminal behind bars.

But neither Chevy nor Seneca are prepared when they are asked to go into the mind of a serial killer in hopes of finding survivors. They are even more unprepared for the monsters they find inside the man's mind. Drawn into a memory where it's hard to figure out where the truth exists, they realize that there may be more to the serial killer than they originally thought. The dark world draws the two men together in a way they never dreamed. It will take everything Chevy and Seneca can give to stop the darkness that could consume their minds. As the two are forced to face what is keeping them apart, together they realize that there's more to the mind and heart than either of them know.

Mind was blown away

Ok, now this book blew my mind away. Just like the characters, my mind was probed and I felt like I was spiraling out of my mind. Though the book itself is hard to describe without spoiling it, I honestly recommend you listen to this. Alice Winter(I love this author) paints the world so clearly that even though the character are experiencing chaos, it is clear the the listener/reader what is going on. Get it. It is worth the purchase.

Joel Leslie (Love his narrations) honestly where can you go wrong with him? He brings the character to life. Tells the story well and at a great pace. He makes sure the readers have a grasp on what's happening.

I loved the story

But let me tell you I screamed at the nonsense banter between the two main characters. I felt it was too much sometimes and I had to pause and scream to the heavens in futility. A great story though , unexpected in it's twist and turn. There were some questions left unanswered to the end that annoyed me.

now to the narrator, oh my god give Joel a freaking prize already. He can recit a grocery list and still get you invested. Every character is distinct with his narration , there is no over lap. Honestly bad audio books have been much improved because of his voice. where ever you are Joel if you do even read this , my hat to you good sir.

Seneca ❤️ Chevy; Chevy ❤️ Seneca

What a wonderful and funny read. Even in the face of danger, our protagonists crack jokes, lifting the mood and giving us a chance to breathe; to feel safe. Lovely, witty (and constant) banter as the boys discover each other in this world and the unconscious one is highly entertaining. Lots and lots and lots of fun. Loved it.

Kind of horror-esk

This was way more horror esk then I usually listen to or read. I enjoy the author a lot with the other books I’ve read. I did enjoy the characters quite a bit and their interactions

Like the alternate universe

Overall I enjoyed but listened to the series out of order. Would be nice if title told you what book you are about to listen too.

wicked!!!!

And this book has great characters. It's fun, it's wicked.It's just absolutely one of the best books i've listened to

goosebumps and belly laughs

while this is primarily a great psychological thriller, it's also one of the funniest books I've listened to in a very long time! the snark between Chevy and Seneca will keep you laughing out loud. definitely get this book - you'll love it! I can't wait to see more of these two!!

Certainly different!

This book held my attention throughout. It is a mystery set in a world of fantasy in which two detectives are trying to understand what has happened. The story is extremely interesting and also funny and endearing. I am already looking for another book by this author.

An Unexpected Delight

I selected this book on a whim as a light story for listening while I was attending to other tasks. So, I was greatly surprised to discover this to be a truly engaging science fiction tale and unconventional love story. Overall, the book has the tone of a romantic comedy, but set within the framework of a police procedural sci-fi story with some truly disturbing moments of horror. It’s quite laudable for the writer to have accomplished that so successfully. Add to that the excellent performance of the narrator, who is able to breath such vibrance and humanity into the two main characters, that they fully spring to life. The playful banter between the two main characters as their relationship develops leads to some truly laugh-out-loud moments. Rather than an overly sanguine pulpy male couple romance, the unfolding of the characters’ developing love for each other feels far more natural and organic. In all aspects, the novel feels fully successful as a both a gripping sci-fi horror tale and as a fresh and engaging love story.

Little dark but funny

Alice Winters created another great series. Chevy might be anti-social but Seneca bring so much fun to his life, even if he does not want to admit it. Did not see Joel Leslie as the narrator after listening to The Hitman’s Guide but he proofed me wrong, he did a brilliant job. Will be following the series.
