Her decision to rescue Evie and to help her get home safely, despite avians being infamous for selling out shapeshifters like Aurora to cutters and black-market flesh dealers, will put her on a perilous path.

Too many elements
Reviewed: 10-27-23
Book had a lot of potential but suffers from too many elements (dragons, shifters, parallel universe, humans… half of it feels very medieval and then someone shows up with a jeep)
Also if you get frustrated by exposition and backstory slammed into long passages of dialogue, this will be a bit of a frustrating listen. Abby Craden does a valiant effort. I think it’s only because of her narration that I finished, but I considered stopping several times.

I just couldn’t get into this one
Reviewed: 09-29-23
I absolutely loved the first book of this series, and was looking forward to Scarlets story. After trying about four or five times, I just could not get into this story. Maybe I’m too vanilla, but the bdsm and age difference made it very hard to root for this couple. Add in about 10% brain cells between the pair and it’s a pretty frustrating listen to both characters. I stopped listening with about two hours left.
Abby Cradden is a gem, as always, but even she couldn’t save this book
I hope the third one is better

Be ready to be explained to
Reviewed: 07-02-23
The story is decent, if very slow. If you chose the read, the narrator is lovely, but she can only do to much. The author has a nasty tendency to over explain every past detail, very metaphor, and every joke. You may think the author thinks you cannot keep up.
The story is a slowwwww burn, but if you enjoy longing gazes across a conference table over PowerPoint slices you may find it enjoyable.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 399
LA-based English indie filmmaker Alex Levitin reluctantly takes a job in New Zealand to save the "worst movie ever", Shezan: Mistress of the Forest. Things might go easier for her if she didn't almost run over the standoffish, beautiful local cop on her first day in town. And it'd really help if her film set wasn't being mysteriously sabotaged. When Ika Whenu's Senior Constable Sam Keegan isn't trying to stamp out a motorcycle gang drug problem afflicting her town, she's publicly slamming everything about the exploitative film and the Hollywood blow-ins making it.

Slowest book by Lee Winters
Reviewed: 07-25-22
Probably the weakest of Lee Winters books. Pacing was pretty slow, almost feels like a reread of breaking character in parts, nearly redundant.

Another classic Lee Winters book. Awesome as always but by far the slowest burn of any of her work.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 94
Zachary Ying never had many opportunities to learn about his Chinese heritage. His single mom was busy enough making sure they got by, and his schools never taught anything except Western history and myths. So Zack is woefully unprepared when he discovers he was born to host the spirit of the First Emperor of China for a vital mission: sealing the leaking portal to the Chinese underworld before the upcoming Ghost Month blows it wide open. The mission takes an immediate wrong turn when the First Emperor botches his attempt to possess Zack’s body and binds to Zack’s AR gaming headset instead.

An Enjoyable Derivative of Percy Jackson
Reviewed: 07-03-22
After reading Iron Widow I was nervous to read Zachary Ying. But thankfully this book was much more enjoyable. It’s very derivative of PJ (down to some plot points) but had enough of its own identity to make it memorable. If you are a Rick Riordan Fan… give this a shot.

A fun continuation from a spindle splintered. My only gripe is how short these Novellas are! I always want more.
