⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

This book was very good! It has three main POV, which helps move the story along. Though at times I wish the author wouldn‘t string me along by withholding information. I did guess two of the plot twists, while one took my by surprise.

I‘m very much looking forward to reading the second and final book of the series!

Reading this craft book for GDRW book discussion coming up this week.

Glad I‘m reading it on Hoopla instead of buying the ebook, not really getting useful info out of it.

The author details steps to do before putting content out there. When I would have preferred to read about frequency of posts, graphics or just text, repost other authors stuff, and other online marketing items. More like a plan since I know my brand - pirates, Romance, P&P!

CatLass007 Cool. I‘m enjoying the #JaneAdjacent buddy read and after last month‘s selection I thought it would be fun to co-host a #SherlockAdjacent buddy read. There are a lot of standalone novels and series that fall into that category. But since I‘ve never hosted a buddy read before, I don‘t feel at all comfortable with hosting one alone. But a couple of us are talking and we‘ll see if we can make it happen. 1mo

Finished this one for book club.
Since I love the TV show so much I was expecting this to be similar to an episode. Unfortunately that was not the case. The characters are different in disposition. And the text was more graphic for the sake of shock; a lot of extra detail not needed for the case. I can‘t wait to hear what the others have to say about it.

From a message Simon Vance, an amazing audiobook narrator, mentioned that Audible has released over 9000 audiobooks with VIRTUAL VOICE, meaning it‘s AI generated. I‘m going to listen to the tagged book to see how an AI voice sounds and if it gets the emotion and nuance of a story.

For audiobook listeners, how do you feel about AI voices narrating books?

LiteraryinLawrence Whoa! I listen to audiobooks and never imagined a non-human would narrate one. I‘ll be curious what you think when you listen! 2mo
TheBookgeekFrau I don't listen to audio books, but I'm very curious to hear your take on AI narration. 2mo
