This review is for the Graphic Audio Part 1 & 2 narrated by a full cast, sound effects, and cinematic music!
I had heard rave reviews for this new series and many love this novel. As for the story I found it interesting, but I didn’t fall in love like many other readers. The very first chapter reminded me of Divergent. I found the world and feel of the story had a lot of similar aspects from a few different series I’ve read or watched. It’s not a bad thing. Many will like that feeling.
I felt like there are a lot of contradictory and conflicting aspects in what the author is portraying. The layout and plot for the dragons and riders had a lot of kill or be killed. This reminded me of The Hunger Games. We get a lot of dragons killing their riders instead of saving them. But, we’re told or led to believe that there aren’t a lot of dragon riders to begin with so, why do the dragons kill them? We’re also told dragons CAN’T survive the bonded once their rider dies and then other times the dragon can survive. It felt like things weren't clear. I also don’t understand all the deaths at the dragon training school.
The lead heroine, Violet, at times is smart and determined and then at other times she acts like a teenager. I liked her and then I didn’t. It went on like this throughout the novel. We do see her grow in strength both mentally and physically, but also she reverts to the beginning. She knows there's death, but she can’t bear it. It’s a back and forth with her.
Then we have the heroine’s childhood best friend, Dain. I didn’t care for him. I disliked how dismissive and manipulative he was towards Violet. You might think, oh maybe a love interest, but we soon figure out he loves her, but he still sees her as a fragile little girl.
The lead male, Xaden, oh man is he hawt and broody. He couldn’t give two sh**s about Violet in the beginning, but he warms up to her. He’s morally gray in my opinion and that makes him oh so sexy. I like him.
Graphic Audio: As for the audio, it's an awesome listen in GA. I thoroughly enjoyed the sound effects, cinematic music and voices for the characters. It adds to the story and brings it to life. The passion and fight scenes come to life in both part 1 & 2.
My one grip with the GA is that they split it into 2 audio books instead of one full audio. And, where they stopped part 1 leaves you on a cliffhanger in the middle of a battle scene. Really!! Why? As for the ending of part 2 well you're also left on a cliffhanger with a big surprise at the end.

Charmed Nights is book three in the Witches of Hollow Cove series by Kim Richardson and Narrated by Devon Sorvari
Man what an ending. The story is a roCharmed Nights is book three in the Witches of Hollow Cove series by Kim Richardson and Narrated by Devon Sorvari
Man what an ending. The story is a roller coaster ride from beginning to end. It’s loaded with mystery and full of emotions.
The audiobooks keep getting better as the series progresses. I love the Aunties. They are a hoot. As for Tessa she is still hot headed and quick to act without thinking it all through and in the end it kind of gets her into hot water. I like that she is loyal to her friends and aunts.
This time around she’s going through the Trials to get her Merlin license. She has to pass two of the three trials, but it doesn't help that one of the instructors hates the Davenport Witches.
But, the Trials aren’t the only issue. In her hometown someone is dead and one of her aunt’s confesses to it. The town sheriff, Marcus, is away and the acting sheriff arrests her. Tessa wants to clear her name, but all the evidence points to her aunt. What to do?
We see some development on the romance front, but still slow going. The secondary characters are getting more development and we see Tessa has some unusual powers.
Audio: Devon Sorvari continues to narrate and has become the voice of all the characters. I’m very much enjoying the audiobooks for the Witches of Hollow Cove series. Sorvari pulls us into the mysteries and keeps the storyline flowing.
Charmed Nights is a roller coaster mystery ride full of charm and witchy magic.
Midnight Spells is book two in the Witches of Hollow Cove series by Kim Richardson and narrated by Devon Sorvari
Tessa is accused of murder and someoneMidnight Spells is book two in the Witches of Hollow Cove series by Kim Richardson and narrated by Devon Sorvari
Tessa is accused of murder and someone is also trying to murder her. She has to solve the murder and stay alive. A ghost goat is hanging around and only she can see it. What does this mean?
I enjoyed listening to Midnight Spells. I very much enjoy the audio and find that the audio moves the story along. Tessa finds herself involved in the most bizarre situations and somehow finds a way to get out of them too.
I wasn’t expecting the twist on who to blame for everything that happens. I will say Tessa was a bit reckless in this one. At times I like her and other times I’m frustrated with her actions. I do enjoy a strong personality, but I also find it frustrating. She didn't stop and think. She just jumps in and damn the consequences.
I do have to say her Vampire Friend is a hoot. He brings levity to the story and lights things up. I really enjoy him.
As for the romance, we finally get that first hot as sin kiss, but nothing after that. We focus on the murder mystery. To be honest, I get mixed signals about the romance and I’m not sure if Marcus likes her or not.
Also the Aunts are a lot of fun. They don’t try to rein in Tessa, which at times I think they should have. They do add humor to the storyline.
Audio: I’m enjoying the audio for the Witches of Hollow Cove. I find the voices fit the characters. The pacing is nice. I plan to continue the series in audio. Hopefully my library has them all.
Overall, I enjoyed the cozy mystery in Midnight Spells.

HAWT DAME the GA for Magic Bleeds was spectacular! I’m on the edge of my seat waiting for the next GA installment in the Kate Daniels series. It’s a full cast. My goodness I loved all the different voices and sound effects. I was on the edge and couldn’t stop listening. At the end we also get Curran’s POV’s and OMG outstanding.
My original review of the book as well as the original regular audio below:
~ 5 Magic Bleeds Stars ~
HAWT DAME! AMAZING! Another winner in the Kate Daniels series.
We are thrown back into Atlanta and a new threat that will expose Kate even more to those she never wanted to find her.
Emotional turmoil & revelations happen in Magic Bleeds. We have relationship issues, hard chooses that will change everyones futures, and a big mystery to solve. If you don’t know by now I am a FAN of the Andrews team and LOVE this series. It has everything an Urban Fantasy needs, action, adventure, a kick-ass heroine, fantastic world building, amazing secondary characters, and so much more.
HAWT Dame! Yep, Kate and Curran’s relationship explodes in this novel in so many ways. Andrea and Raphael end up imploding (big rift) between them and that relationship was looking so good too. Someone from Kate’s bloodline makes a very big and dramatic entrance into her life and we learn so much from this mysterious person. Last Kate has some very hard chooses to make and one that will affect her deeply and change her future.
Magic Bleeds is a book that will take you away with non-stop action, pulling you into a world full of mystery, magic and so much more. Once I picked this book up I could not put it down and then I had to go and start the next book. Must read series!
Audio: The audio is well worth it. Love listening to the Kate Daniels series.
The Vampire’s Cursed Kiss is book two in the Shadowvale series by Kristen Painter and narrated by B.J. Harrison.
I’m not WOW’d by the series, but theiThe Vampire’s Cursed Kiss is book two in the Shadowvale series by Kristen Painter and narrated by B.J. Harrison.
I’m not WOW’d by the series, but their is something about the Shadowvale series that keeps me coming back. I think it has to do with how light and easy going the story’s are. It’s a predictable read, but also has some sweet fun moments. I really enjoy the town of Shadowvale and how it came to be.
Constantin, is a vampire who owns a bookstore in town. He’s been burned by love before and so he’s given up on romance. Andromeda is a sprite with a free spirt. She’s found herself in a predicament and the only way out is to get Constantine to fall in love with her.
As things go the romance is predictable. We have our up’s and down’s, but in the end we get our HEA. I enjoyed Constantin’s family and Andromeda’s self assured attitude. Constantine was a sweet vampire until he had his little temper tantrum, then I wasn’t a big fan of him, but in the end it works out.
The author has a knack for creating quirky paranormal character’s and the town is interesting in its make up of citizens. The world-building is well done and the flow of the story is nice.
Audio: B.J. Harrison for some reason didn’t hit it off with me like the first book. He can do voices, but some just didn’t work for me in The Vampire’s Cursed Kiss. Manly the female voices didn’t sound feminine enough. He does bring out the personalties of the characters and keeps the story flowing along. I liked the audiobook.
The Vampire’s Cursed Kiss can be read/listened to as a stand-alone. It’s a light listen and enjoyable. I don’t think I’d do this series any other way, but in audio.
I so LOVE returning to the Kate Daniels world and all it’s exceptional characters and astonishing world-building.
I read Magic Tides and Magic ClaimsI so LOVE returning to the Kate Daniels world and all it’s exceptional characters and astonishing world-building.
I read Magic Tides and Magic Claims when they first came out, so I’ll put those reviews below for you, but let’s talk about the audiobook.
Hillary Huber and Michael Glenn narrate the Wilmington Years which take place a few years after the original series and after Julie and Hugh’s series starters.
The audio narration for both novels is sublime! Hillary Huber does a glorious job with narrating Kate’s POV. The only issue I had was her voice for Curran I just didn’t fall in love with it like I loved Michael Glenn who narrated Curran’s POV.
As always I was captivated and inthralled. I listened to this in one day. Couldn’t stop. I love the humor, astronomical battle scenes, and characters.
I’d highly recommend the Kate Daniels series. Wither you read or listen you’ll be swept away into a magical adventure. I can’t wait for more.
Rated: 5 Stars
Individual Review on Magic Tides & Magic Claims Magic Tides is book one in the Kate Daniels: Wilmington Years by Ilona Andrews.
This is part of the Kate Daniels world. We get to return to the world and see how Kate, Curran, and their son Conlan are doing after they left Atlanta.
Magic Tides takes the reader around Kate’s new community, including the local Order chapter, the Farm (home of the People in Wilmington), and the local Pack. It sets the scene for future escapades and potential allies and threats.
I adored and loved this shorty story. The tides have other plans then a simple quiet life for Kate, Curran, and Conlan. The story gives us multiple first person POV’s, but most are Kate’s POV. Even though the story is short it packs a tidal wave of a storyline rich with detail and a well-developed plot.
I love how solid Kate and Curran’s relationship is and how they acknowledge, respect, and understand each other. The banter is so much fun.
One could read this as a standalone, but fans will appreciated it the most. I’d recommend reading the Kate Daniels series. As a fan, I liked it and hope we get more stories.
Rated: 4 Stars
*****
Magic Claims is book two in the Kate Daniels: Welmington Years by Ilona Andrews.
Man oh man I read this in one day. I picked it up and couldn’t stop. I just adore Kate, Curran and the rest of the gang. I’m over the moon to visit my favorite world and characters again.
Kate and Curran can’t say no to a town in danger. We continue the Kate Daniels storyline in this deliciously breath taking installment.
Those coming to the sereis do need to start from the beginning to get the most out of this outstanding world.
Life for Kate and Curran is about to change. Kate is slowly realizing they can’t sustain the domestic life-style they have enjoyed for a few years now. She will need to face who and what they are which means getting back in the game.
The Andrews team know how to draw a reader in, building up the advance and let them enjoy a ride of their life. We are treated to duel POV’s; Kate and Curran. I love seeing their romance and partnership. It’s so strong. The core group that sounds them continues to grow and Conlan is such a cool child. It love seeing him grow up. As for the evil in the woods. It was cool to discover what was menacing the town and I loved the parallel made between the evil and Kate/Curran. The future looks to be interesting.
I will say I was hoping for more at the end with all the cool things Kate/Curren discover, but I am content. Maybe one day we will find out.
Magic Claims is a great mix of humor, magic, mystery, action and adventure. Urban Fantasy fans you must read this sereis. It’s an adventure you can surely enjoy over and over again.
Hounded is book one in The Iron Druid Chronicles series by Kevin Hearne and narrated by Luke Daniels.
I picked up this audiobook back in 2020 on sale Hounded is book one in The Iron Druid Chronicles series by Kevin Hearne and narrated by Luke Daniels.
I picked up this audiobook back in 2020 on sale and meant to start the series then, but I’m a mood reader and I just never got around to it. Last (2023) year, Books of My Heart put this series back on my raider when she had her read-a-long. I meant to join in, but life happens, so here we are. I started the new year with Hounded and was enamored.
I loved the male POV, Oberon who cracked me up, and the narrator who brought it all to life. The story was a wonderful blend of old Celtic mythology and modern adventure.
I’ve only read one other sereis written by a male author. It takes some getting used to the change, but I can say that I enjoy the different perspective. It’s refreshing.
Hearne does a wonderful job blending new and old together and a splendid job developing Atticus’ character. I enjoyed the blend of modern 21 year old occult shop owner and the ancient druid that he is. The story is full of Celtic gods, fantastic mythology and epic battles. What I loved the most was Oberon, Atticus Irish wolfhound who brings humor and levity to the storyline.
The plot is complex and engaging. There’s a stream of baddies as the story unfolds. It’s a complex mix of chess when dealing with the various gods and goddesses. Atticus finds himself in the middle of things and of course the goddesses can’t seem to leave him alone.
Audio: Luke Daniels plays Atticus and all the characters featured in this novel brilliantly. I loved his POV for Atticus and Oberon. He captures the essence of the storyline and the characters bringing them to life. And, my favorite parts were the dialogue between Oberon and Atticus. The author had me smiling many times.
Hounded is a stellar fist installment and I’m looking forward to listening to more in The Iron Druid Chronicles. I highly recommend listening to The Iron Druid Chronicles.
Sweep of the Heart is book five in the Innkeeper Chronicles by Ilona Andrews.
Sweep of the Heart takes us back to Diana's Inn. We finally get to learn Sweep of the Heart is book five in the Innkeeper Chronicles by Ilona Andrews.
Sweep of the Heart takes us back to Diana's Inn. We finally get to learn more about Caldayan, her past and her family. WOW it was so great to learn more about Caldayan. We also get a few answers as to what happened to Diana's parents inn, but there are so many more questions. I loved seeing Shan work so well with Diana. They are a power couple. And, last the artwork is superb.
This time we have a mate selection taking part in the Inn. I enjoyed the mate selection; though I'm not a fan of the Bachelorette or Bachelor TV shows, so this type of thing isn't my thing, but Andrews made this one exciting and interesting adding intrigue and great fantasy world building.
The one thing I'm not a fan of is the recap at the begging of each chapter. It’s ok on the blog for the weekly thing to refresh people’s minds, but for the finished published version it didn't work for me. I could have not read that part, but really when you have a book you read it all.
As always I love returning to the Innkeeper World. The end was by far the best and I can't wait for the next installment. The Andrews team created another spectator novel in the Innkeeper Chronicles.
Rated: 4 Stars
2024 Graphic Audio: I loved all the special effects. The story still drags. It starts off great then eh and back to great. Not a fan of the wife selection. That is where the story drags. Other then that the GA is a fun listen.
Shadow Witch is book one in the Witches of Hollow Cove sereis by Kim Richardson and narrated by Devon Sorvari.
It’s a decent start to the sereis. We arShadow Witch is book one in the Witches of Hollow Cove sereis by Kim Richardson and narrated by Devon Sorvari.
It’s a decent start to the sereis. We are introduced to the town of Hollow Cove, its people and the Davenport family.
Our lead, Tessa is a very stubborn and determined women. When her Aunts work their magic in getting her involved in protecting the town, she learns more than she expected and finds her places in Hollow Cove.
The mystery of who is letting demons into the town and destroying the words keeps you guessing. Will Tessa save the town or will the town and its inhabitants be destroyed?
I very much enjoyed the vampire. He weeds his way into being Tessa’s friend and helping her out as she try's to solve the mystery and keep the town safe.
The romantic interest, Chief of Police Marcus, has a chip on his shoulder. So, him and Tessa get off on the wrong foot. He wants her gone and off the case and he does everything to make that happen. Will they mend fences or not?
The character development is well done. Their is suspense, action, and mystery.
Audio: Devon Sorvari did a wonderful job with all the voices. I very much enjoyed each characters unique voice. It fit their personality and supernatural. The characters stand out as individuals and I like that. Sorvari kept the story going and pulled out the mystery and magic.
Shadow Witch was a nice listen and a wonderful paranormal magical cozy mystery. I’m looking forward to listening on in the Witches of Hollow Cover series and seeing what develops next.

We are treated to Vampire politics, a wedding, a double cross, and battles that are very bloody.
OMG I loved the audio. I actually had the book and eBook on release day, but I was waiting for the audio to come out. I LOVE the audios for the previous books and felt this book would be so much better to listen too. I wasn’t disappointed.
In Sweep of the Blade we focus on Maud and her daughter. If you haven’t read the series I suggest starting at the beginning or at least read/listen to One Fell Sweep before picking up Sweep of the Blade. That is where we meet Dina’s sister Maud.
When the book starts it starts with Maud’s exile on a lawless Vampire plant where all the criminals are sent and then moves onto present day.
Maud was married to a Vampire and had a daughter. It was perfect at first, but then things went wrong. She doesn’t want to open her heart up, nor does she want her daughter to get emotionally hurt, again. It’s a tough road to let someone in and hope they won’t hurt you like her previous husband and his family. Maud doesn’t give up easily. She ends up coming to terms with her past, who she is, and what she wants in life. It felt like a rebirth and self discover story.
I loved that we get to visit the Vampires, learning more about them, and traveling to one of their home worlds.
As for the romance; well I didn't feel any romance between Maud and Arland. Like is their, but the romance was lacking for me. They are just so formal with each other; even in private. Their guard comes down some of the time, but not enough. Mainly we are focusing on Maud and her issues; instead of the romance.
Narration: We switch narrators from Renee Raudman to Natalie Naudus. This is my first time with this narrator. She was amazing and wonderful. Her voices are smooth and easy to listen too. The battles are vivid and Maud's inner issues are brought out. I really enjoyed the audiobook and recommend listening.
Rated: 4 Stars
Graphic Audio Aug. 2022: I've listened to the regular audio version several times now and read the book. But, I have to say the Graphic Audio's for The Innkeeper Chronicles are SUPERBER and UNFORGETTABLE. It truly is a movie for the mind. I learned so much more and found things I've missed. The full cast, sound effects, and cinematic music made Sweep of the Blade MEMORABLE. Graphic Audio Rated: 5 Stars Story Rated: 4 Stars
This series is a MUST READ and one that must be read in order. Everything builds from book to book and it only gets better.
I waited to read this when This series is a MUST READ and one that must be read in order. Everything builds from book to book and it only gets better.
I waited to read this when the paperback version came out. I like the pictures illustrated in the paperbacks and of course I prefer to read a story in it's entirety instead of bit by bit. The author published parts on their website, but for me it's not the same as getting it all in one sitting, holding that paperback.
WOW. I read this in one day. Couldn't put it down. I loved everything about this installment. Going deeper into Dina’s family, seeing her relationship grow with Sean, revisiting characters and introducing new ones. Just Fabulous!! I can't wait for the next installment.
- The relationship between Dina and Sean. Their relationship has been a slow build. I like how this relationship has developed over the books. It was fabulous seeing Dina come to understand her feelings for Sean, her wolf, and how it all came into focus. I liked the conversations they had and that they hashed out things. To finally see these two get together and move their relationship into the physical one, was sweet and well worth the wait.
- We are introduced to Diana's sister, Maud and her niece, Helen. I love seeing kids. They add something special to the books and here there's magic afoot. It’s hard not to fall for Helen and of course her mother Maud is one badass women. What she’s been through and how she survived. Power to her. I’m curious and LOVE that a romantic relationship might be developing between Maud and Arland.
- Arland, I never saw him for Dina and didn’t like the little triangle thing in book one, but here Arland was fabulous. He melted my heart with how sweet he was to Helen and his run ins with Maud where great. I really want to see more Maud, Helen, and Arland. Maybe they will get their own book. Who knows?
- The concept and storyline for the Hiru was wonderful done. And, Officer Marais, things finally comes to a head. There were many more events and things that made this such an outstanding read.
- There were emotional parts that made my heart melt and clench. Their were hilarious scenes like the fart gun, which I laughed so hard reading. Then we get so many hints and tidbits that were amazing morsel to digest. Like the tidbit on Klaus (Dina’s Brother), her father and mother, and of another big bad that might be on the horizon that Dina maybe confronting.
There was just so much to love in One Fell Sweep. I don’t know how the Andrews team keeps coming up with new, unique, and astonishing things, but they do. I’m in awe. Really if you haven't started the Innkeeper Chronicles or any works by Ilona Andrews you are sorely missing out.
One Fell Sweep is a phenomenal Urban Fantasy adventure.
Rated: 5 Stars
Audio Sept. 2018: I LOVE the audio book for One Fell Sweep.
Graphic Audio Aug. 2022: OUTSTANDING... I love the graphic audio's. I can't believe I've not discovered these types of audiobooks before. BIG Fan of Andrews and the Innkeeper Chronicles, but WOW the Graphic Audiobook brings out a whole new level in the story. All the sound effects, cinematic music, and full cast just brings the story to life. It truly is a movie in the mind.
I re-read Clean Sweep before picking up Sweep in Peace. I wanted to enjoy the beginning again and be up to date. It's not necessarySPOILER FREE REVIEW
I re-read Clean Sweep before picking up Sweep in Peace. I wanted to enjoy the beginning again and be up to date. It's not necessary, but I loved it all over and it helped to refresh my memory of the events that took place.
I also made sure to not read any reviews before going in. I wanted everything to be a surprise and it was.
WOW! AMAZING! EMOTIONAL!
OMG Sweep In Peace had me glued to the pages. I love how much detail the authors put into their characters and world. It makes everything that much more real. This one was darker not because of violence, but because of the emotional upheavals that take place for the characters involved.
The Andrews team takes us on a heart wrenching journey of manipulation, deceit, and emotions. This is not a walk in the park. War has permanent consequences for the living and as a reader you can't escape this knowledge.
Fans of The Edge series (previous work of the Andrews team) may or may not recognize some characters that show up. I will tell you, I did not recognize them until I read another reviews review and then I was like "Oh My", it's not the happy story I was hoping for for those characters, but wow.
The Andrews team is one author that's a MUST READ!! This latest installment in the Innkeepers Chronicles is awesome, terrible, and will make you cry..
Audio Aug. 2018: OMG the audio is superb. The narrator has the voice down pat. I cried. Yep, I cried a lot. The emotions of all the characters comes across so strong that tears where running down my face. Highly Recommend series to read or listen too.
Graphic Audio Aug. 2022: WOW a movie for the mind. Oro was so much fun to listen too and many the memories scene was so POWERFUL. All of it was OUTSTANDING. Loved it!
First off I love the cover and artwork displayed in the book. Second I love the authors written styl5 Sweeping Stars!
Clean Sweep by Ilona Andrews
First off I love the cover and artwork displayed in the book. Second I love the authors written style. Each book has its own quirky sense of humor, hunky alpha males, monsters, adventure, action and interesting characters. The husband and wife writing team did it again! I was pulled into an amazing world with fun characters that I could not wait to learn more about.
Dina is an inn keeper thou the inn she runs appears to be a regular house we soon learn that it is Magic along with Dina, but there are limits to that Magic. Clean Sweep also introduces two male protagonists who both are interested in Dina. There is a tiny mystery, action and funny encounters. Sean is a hunky Alpha wolf who has moved into the area. Arland is a hunky Vampire from another planet.
Clean Sweep is a solid read in the Innkeeper series. The character and world building are well done. The author writes some of the best dialogue I've read and I liked the authors take on the origins of werewolves & vampires, so fresh new different.
Audio March 2018: I had a delightful time with the audiobook and I acutely think I discovered something new by listening that I missed when reading. I think we get our first glimpse of the children from The Edge series, but now they are all grown up. (view spoiler)[I think it's Jack and George. It's only a description from when Sean and Dina go to The Node, Baha-shar. Pg. 180 -183 (hide spoiler)] The narrator Renée Raudman did a wonderful job on the voices. I had fun!
Graphic Audio Aug. 2022: I LOVE this series and so when I heard it was going to come out as a Graphic Audio - A Movie In Your Mind I just had to give it a try. I've never listened to a Graphic Audio before... WOW!! It was a movie for the mind. Loved all the added sound effects and full cast. So so good.
