Solid character building and decent world building. The plot is fairly light hearted up till the end and its fun ride along the way. Narration is great as is expected of Raya. This was my first book with Richard narrating but he did a pretty good job as well. IMO it's worth the credit and I'm looking forward to the next installment.

Book two of the Succubus Summoner series is at least as good as the first so if you enjoyed book 1 the second will be to your liking as well. There's two things I really like about this series so far. First, the focus on complex character building for Samuel and Aurora really helps you feel invested in their progress. Secondly, the major story arc is being developed slowly overtime. Instead of knowing the ultimate goal the MC needs to accomplish right from the start, the authors are taking the breadcrumb approach and even after 2 books we're still learning where all this is going to lead. The minor story arcs are fulfilling enough that the reader doesn't feel like progression is an issue. As always Fay and Tom do an excellent job with the narration.

Overall a good book with excellent narration. There isn't anything really in the way of earth shattering ideas or twists but it's an enjoyable listen with enough variation on the SoL theme to make it different and interesting. IMO it was worth the credit.

Keeping it short and sweet, this book/series is basically Everybody Loves Large Chests (ELLC) but with Boxy as the homicidal sidekick instead of the MC. There's plenty of funny bits with some good character and world building tossed in. Narration is top notch as always from the Soundbooth team! Totally worth the credit and can't wait for the next installment!

Loved the twist on the reincarnation theme

Apocalypse: Regression is a solid addition to the reincarnation genre and has vibes similar to Towers of Heaven and Threads of Fate but with the twist being that the wrong guy got sent back. This makes the things more interesting as the MC has to wing it a bit but starts to find his stride by the end of the book. I highly recommend if you are into the genre.

I enjoyed Silvers from start to finish. The world, character, and plot building are solid with some original ideas mixed in. The narration was top notch as usual from Dan and Rebecca. There's a good mix of action and character building as well as some crafting mixed in. So if you are into any of those things you'll enjoy the book too!

Definitely worth the credit and looking forward to the next installment!

The book is well written and the narration is top notch as usual from Chris and Jess. The book has some pacing issues in the middle but leaves you wanting more at the end. I was initially getting a little frustrated with the flash forward/flashback throughout the first half of the book but by the time it catches up it feels like it's really well done and enhances the character/world building by doing it at a measured pace instead of bludgeoning the reader with a bunch of details without context at the beginning of the book.

The book has a little bit of everything, including some mystery, action, plot/world building, and relationship building. Overall this was worth the credit and I look forward to the next installment!
