Crime and Punishment

Great Falls Academy, Episode 2

By: Alex Lidell

Narrated by: Victoria Mei

She broke the rules. Now he sets the consequences.

Lera crossed the line when she disobeyed River’s orders and went over the Academy wall. Now River wants Lera gone - and Coal is just the officer to make her quit.

For Coal, disciplining a wayward cadet is a matter of routine - but he may be in over his head with this fiery student. Leralynn is far stronger than she looks, and with her eerily familiar chocolate eyes and maddening curves, she’s bringing demons to the surface...demons that Coal thought long buried.

But when a rainstorm threatens to destroy the Lera’s last hope for restoring her males’ memories, the battle of wills between her, and Coal turns to war.

Crime and Punishment is the second episode in the Great Falls Academy novella series, featuring the same reverse-harem cast as Alex Lidell’s internationally bestselling Power of Five series. (Listening to the Power of Five novels is not necessary to enjoy Great Falls Academy.)

Dying for the next one

Again I am loving this. I hate that it ends in a huge cliffhanger. But they are short books so I can get through them quickly. I loved this book and can’t wait to read the next.

Great min continuance

I can not wait to hear more. The length she is going threw to get her quint back is amazing. She has to think past her needs and find ways to get things back on track. I am loving this mini series and can not wait for more. #AudiobookObsession

I need book three NOW.................

Crime and Punishment is the second book in this series starring the main characters of Lidell's Power of Five Series. Although I did not read that series before starting this one, I would recommend reading the first book in the series, Rules of Stone, before reading this one. Lera is still trying to repair the rift in the magical world that made her four mates forget their individual histories as well as their history with her. It takes a strong woman to be continually confronted by cold indifference or outright dislike by the men you love and who used to love you. Luckily, Lera has incredible strength, both of character and of spirit, and she keeps fighting her way back to her men. The concept of episodes is equal parts exciting and frustrating. I really want to read the next book NOW, but there is a twisted sort of satisfaction to delayed gratification. I am enjoying this series so much that I plan to go back to the beginning and read the original series. That might even make the wait for book three more bearable!

I really appreciate it when an author keeps the same narrator for all books in a series, and that is thankfully the case with this series. Victoria Mei's light, bubbly voice is perfectly suited for the young adult genre, and I continue to be amazed at how well she handles both male and female roles. Her performance in this book is flawless, and she keeps the story flowing so smoothly that I barely noticed the passage of time while listening.

I received a copy of this audiobook at my request in exchange for this honest review.

Love the series, this is worth it

I adore this series, and this story in particular is one of my favorites, cause Coal.

I enjoy this narrator ‘s interpretation of Lera, I am less sure of the male voices - but really, you can only work with what you have, and there is only so much a female voice can do. It’s harder on the really masculine characters like Coal and River. It must be difficult to perform, really.

To be fair, I have only listened to non fiction until now. This is my first romance with both genders being performed by one person. I may get used to it.

Overall, I love her interpretation of Lera, and she drives the action forward and makes it appropriately exciting and draws you into the story.
I adore this series, and this is worth it, especially if you don’t have time to read but like to listen.

Love it

Love just loosing my self in this series. Wish it was longer though. But great non the less.

How much can she endure?

This is such a good audio book. So Lera has to accept the punishment she is given, but doesn't know that some of her mates want her gone. Is she strong enough to endure the punishment or will she leave. Does she realize what her mates are going through besides her struggles. Bonkers was the cave scene hot. The utter attraction these men fight against Lera is insane. How much kindergartener going to hold out. Gavril, what is his position in all this? I need more of this series.

Another Fantastic Audiobook!

Another fantastic book narrated by Victoria Mei.

As the story progresses in the 2nd book, Victoria captures the essence and personality of the Quint. The story telling is absolutely fantastic and I can't wait to listen to the third book when it is released!

KEEP THEM COMING!

I absolutely loved it! This author does it again! This is one of my most anticipated
series. I look forward to reading more books in this series. I was given this free review
copy at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Another

Another great book! This had one hot and heavy scene but the rest is a lot of action and intrigue. You see more of the male characters and what they're experiencing in this book, which I like. More anticipation for the next book!! The narrator, Victoria Mei, does an excellent job bringing passion and life to each character.

Great story

Wonderful quick listen. It is full of passion and excitement and keeps you on the edge of your seat until the end and eagerly awaiting more.
