It has been a while since I listened to the previous Mystic Bayou story. It was nice to be back into the small town of paranormal creatures. In this story, we have Brendan O’Connor, a rare male banshee and Cordelia Canton, a touch psychic who gets memories from stuff she touches. They come together to work on the weird artifact that was pulled from the rift.

This is a fun, light-hearted, comfort read, or well listen. If you’ve never listened/read to Molly Harper, she is very funny and her characters are so lovable. She brings a lot of snark and pop culture references. This book was no different. This series does have a bit of a formulaic feel, but it is still a fun escape.

This book did feel like it might be the last book in the series, since there was a bit of a conclusion, but I see there is an audiobook WHICH came out in January. So, I guess not. This is a series through Audible, so you can’t get it from other places and it is even a few months before it is available as an ebook. I’ll look forward to grabbing the next book (I still have a novella story to listen to as well).

Narration:
I’m a HUGE Amanda Ronconi fan. I listened to my first Molly Harper book and I can’t even imagine reading one of her books and not listening. She really brings out the characters’ personalities. She’s also great at including the snark Harper puts in her stories.

I had not listened to Jonathan Davis before this series. I had a really hard time with the first book, but I think it has gotten more cohesive. I don’t think his narration is bad, it just doesn’t stand up with Amanda Ronconi, in my opinion. I’m always more interested in the female POVs in this series, and I think it might have something to with the narration. I do think that if I listened to him in a different series where he was the only narrator, I would like him more. I think I just struggle with anyone else performing Molly Harper stories.
