Her male voices were believable and she did a great job imbuing scenes with emotion as needed.
The Narration: Erin Spencer was a good pick for this book. I received a free copy of this book via The Audiobookworm. All around, it was a great ride and a satisfying read. No, she’s had years of training and has a good idea of what she can and can’t do. For the first in the series, I wasn’t expecting that level of a fight but in retrospect, it does fit. Finally, there is an epic battle near the end. I found it clever and amusing at the same time.
The next surprise was a kind of lost legends surprise. First, there was Wulfric (but I won’t spoil why he’s such a surprise). I was truly surprised by what they found in the woods. Carlie and crew have quite the fight ahead of them. Wulfric’s existence in the woods brings up plenty of questions but he also supplies plenty of answers. My one teensy spoiler is that along the way they meet Wulfric who I think will continue on in the series. Get your nature hiking boots out folks! Carlie and Major Pickford, a cop involved in the case, set out to find this mysterious source of unsettled spirits. The first third of the book is spent in the small town of Halfway (there are wendigo!) but the rest of the story is spent in the woods. They were key in locating the source of the troubled spirits. My inner biologist loved the bit about the long-lost chestnut species. Over all, she’s really well balanced and I really like that about her. Yet she isn’t some alpha female always feeling she has to fight to maintain her place in the world. Carlie doesn’t hesitate to show folks that she can take care of herself and she doesn’t apologize for whatever bruises a heavy-handed person might receive from her. It’s an idea that I strive for even if I don’t often obtain it. She also takes care of her things in the belief that they will be there, in good condition, to take care of her. She’s independent but not prickly about having friends who show they care about her. Carlie is a character I want to be friends with. Now there is a child’s spirit trapped in the depths of the forest that she must free or learn to live with a troubled conscience. Things were pretty quiet until a few restless spirits and a determined cop started pestering Carlie. She has a large, ornery cat named Gus, and she treasures her grandmother. Set in Halfway, New York, Carlie works at the only real diner in town. To check out the book tour wide giveaway, scroll to the bottom!
