I like this series !!!

loved it. Another captivating story by this author,
I'm getting use to this narrator and he is not as bad as other comment express.

Great story and narration

It keeps you on your toes- great twists and easy to listen to . I definitely recommend this book and series

Great Southern Gothic

This one had everything from a creepy mystery, to some even creepier paranormal touches. Action, psychology, and puzzle solving, but also touching character development.

Beautifully performed, with the slow, deep, drawl of the Tennessee hill country present, but not in a way that was comic, or contemptuous.

I admit that I was surprised by whodunnit. There was a whole school of red herrings, and I dined on a few of them!

If Southern Gothics appeal to you, give this one a try. My favorite in this series so far.

Interesting Characters & Story

This is a pretty decent thriller in a genre that's fairly flooded these days. But reader beware, if you can't stand a side of romance with your thriller, you might want to pass on this one. The two main characters, who are as alike as cats and dogs, do manage to create some serious steam while solving this case.

When I say the main characters are different, I really do mean "night and day." The female profiler, Ramsey, is actually a pretty difficult, distant, and basically unlikable person on the outside. Devlin, however, is a modern day Rhett Butler. He oozes southern charm with that rakish quality that has women swooning and men making fists. These two are hardly from the same planet. Yet Devlin woos her with incomparable patience and gentleness as she attempts to ignore him and work her case. As if.

The story itself is nicely paced and well woven. Bronson Pinchot's narration was fabulously voiced. He is an amazing narrator. Unfortunately, he had a few mispronunciations of locations that drove me slightly nuts, but those were few and far between. He still did a fantastic job with all the characterizations.

Great storyline

Wimpy, weak, anxious, unsure of herself, afraid of her own shadow. I don’t think that is what you’re supposed to think of the lead female characters in Brant’s stories, but that is the narrator’s interpretation that prevails in each one.

Bump in the Night

I loved this story of two very different people finding common ground as they search for answers to what is happening in this sleepy little town.

Becoming predictable

So far I’ve listened to three of the books in this series. The stories themselves are riveting and surprising which I enjoy. However, a repetitive theme is becoming quite predictable, and frankly quite annoying. Every book so far has a female investigator with some past issue of abuse - she is always smart, gorgeous and built. She gets partnered with a local who she at first hates, but he’s a Greek god so she falls in bed with him, they have epic sex and the author just goes on and on and on about how hot these two people are and has in depth descriptions of sexual encounters that are not humanly achievable in the real world. I’ve started just fast forwarding thru that nonsense. I’m fine with romance and sex in a novel but it’s to the point that it’s cut-and-paste from one book to the other.

I enjoyed the story line

This second book of listen to in this series. I too fast forward through the sex scenes. They don’t enhance the story line.

you are in for a treat

Started off quite slow and hard to follow. Once it picked up and I grasp the storyline, nothing short of amazing, especially the end.

Ghostly romance

This book was done well by both author and performer. The little twist at the end was superb.
