By: Elizabeth Hunter

Narrated by: Dina Pearlman

Beatrice De Novo thought she had left the supernatural world behind... for the most part.

Giovanni has his own questions, and he's looking to her for answers.

This Same Earth reunites Beatrice and Giovanni to continue their search through the past while both wrestle with the future. When the world as you knew it has changed forever, is there any way you can turn back?

What can I say, I listened to it in one day

Giovanni has been absent from Beatrice's life for 5 years. That's hard to cope with, when he returns professing his love and introducing her to his new son at the same time. Bea has tried to move on, reluctant to trust him again, when she learns he's been protecting her all these years. Bea's life is still in danger as Lorenzo has yet to reappear, and her Father is still missing. The mystery only grows in this installment, as the duo are out to find her Father, along with trying to protect the people they love from the villainous Lorenzo.

Second in series

Although I like the series, I felt it was a little slow at times. Also Beatrice and Geo seem to whine more than I like. I’m going to read the next but hope they grow some.

Awesome Books

Thoroughly enjoying both writer and narrator! Going straight to books 3 and 4. Can't wait too check out her other books as well..

too short.

this one was too short not enough storyline in it to be a real book. it's more of a filler to the story. I'm not moving on.

This same Earth

It's a good read. A little slow at first, however really enjoyed story. Looking forward to next book in series.

Great!

Lots of entertainment and surprises. Twists and and mysterious. Really looking forward to the next book!!

very good

Loved it !! this story. the narrator is so fantastic it's like your really there!! good overall

Give up on the accents. Please.

This narrator is okay, but the accents are pretty bad. So is the maniacal laugh. Just...don't.

Reading/ listening. AGAIN

This is my 6-7th time reading this series. i know that the vampire love story has been beat to hell and back but this is a series that keeps me coming back because of the great writing and the great narrating. I've found very few narrators that have the vocal chops that make you want to listen again.

More of the same as book 1

Audible’s 3 stars = pretty good, which is my best compromise for rating.
I wasn’t wild about book 1 and I still went ahead and purchased book 2 - I guess I had enough curiosity to find out where Hunter went with this series. Still an interesting premise that had disconnects in it’s execution, but not as many as in book 1. I’ll admit to skipping book 3 altogether and skimming through book 4 before writing this review. These 4 books could have been 2 if edited well. At the very least, whittled down to 3. This might have caught many of the disconnects. Oh well.
If you have lots of patience for stories that ramble, you might like this world of vampires that have affinity for one of the 4 elements: water, earth, air, and fire. And the heroes foiling the evil vampire’s plot to take over the world of the vampires; which, by default, also means humans. Gio left Bea alone for 5 years to finish her doctorate and live on her own for her personal growth. Now he’s decided it’s time to come into her life to win her back.
Pearlman did an ok job of narration. I just can’t say if it was Pearlman or Hunter that made it feel so uneven. And I’m not spending the time to figure it out.
