All the Blues Come Through

Heir to a Myth, Book 1

By: Metra Farrari

Narrated by: Makenzie Kaye

Length: 8 hrs and 50 mins

Publisher's summary

With her smart and playful writing, debut author Metra Farrari cleverly blends chick-lit with a dash of Greek mythology—the product a winning combination of smart-alecky wit, dreamy escapism, and a quirky yet lovable heroine.

Ryan Bell is your typical millennial: surviving on a diet of wine and Netflix, woefully single enough to qualify for cat-lady membership, and renting from a 70-something Tinder-swiping landlord-turned-bestie. But underneath her chipped-off manicure lies a green thumb that has created miraculous flowers capable of saving mankind from cataclysmic climate change. There's one problem: Only Ryan can grow them. An unusual audience comes to an unorthodox conclusion: Ryan is the heir of the Greek god Artemis.

Although Ryan thinks these strange, toga-wearing folks are one kalamata olive short of a Greek salad, she reluctantly enters a hidden world where the Olympians are real and magic flows freely (plus a generous serving of Greek hunks). Talk about one epic identity crisis.

Magical demigod or not, the fate of civilization—both mortal and godly—now rests on Ryan's shoulders.

The story you didn’t know you needed!

This is not a genre I’d typically gravitate towards, however, it was everything I didn’t know I was missing! It was romance, mystery, and a little thriller as well! Can’t wait for the rest of the series!!!!

Intriguing and entertaining

A unique twist of a dystopian plot. The challenges of global warming entertained with fantasy, romance and some surprise characters had me wanting to go back and reference my high school textbooks!
A fun read that was a refreshing change of pace. I’d recommend for your next vacation read!

Fun, fabulous & fantastical -- a wonderful listen!

I am so glad I judged a book by its cover, because this novel was as beautiful as its vibrant binding! I was immediately drawn in by the main character Ryan (gf was so relatable) and the narration was so enjoyable, I could have binged it in an entire day (it took me two). There is a host of funny characters, a slow-burning romance that gave me all the feels, fantastical yet uncomplicated mythical whimsy and a cliffhanger that has me frantically googling when the sequel comes out. YOU WILL LOVE THIS BOOK!!!

Audiobook review: All the Blues Come Through

This book is not my ideal genre, but I am always open to trying new genres especially with audiobooks.

I found it more enjoyable to listen on a faster speed than I usually listen to audiobooks on.

The narrator did a great job with bringing the characters and voices to life.

I was however not a fan of the main character and found her a bit annoying.
The story was well written, but it started off slowly and still ended with a lot of questions to be answered.

Loved this book so much!!!!

I don’t typically read fiction but I decided to give this book a try and I am so happy that I did! I was in the edge of my seat as the story unfolded. I loved how it was gripping and unpredictable yet it still felt so relatable. If you’re looking for a book with lots of intrigue and a little romance sprinkled throughout, I highly recommend this book! I’m such a fan of this authors work and can’t wait to see what she does next.

This book is a lot of fun!

There's a lot of personality happening in this book, and it's pulled off perfectly by the narrator.

A very interesting take on a dystopian version of our world with fantasy mixed in.

I'm looking forward to the next one.
