After a while i got really annoyed with the MC and her justifications for everything. The ending was, compared to the rest of the book, unnecessary gruesome (which i usually like but in this instance it felt forced, just for the sake of bringing in some gruesome, bloody scenes). The rest of the book read more tragic comedy at times. Not the vibes I would have liked in a haunted house book. The narration was great and the atmosphere in parts really good. ...more

If you ever read or saw a movie on the topic, you could have guessed the ending easily which I did. so nothing groundbreaking. Nevertheless the book had me listening all day yesterday and this morning. Furthermore, the narration was really good. Totally recommend on audio!...more

Felt really sorry for Kate and Maggie who were basically used by their elder sister Leah for money and fame. Must have been a very difficult time for girls and women in general. All-in-all i appreciated the information packed in the book as well as the realistic depiction of the time. ...more
Really loved the second book of The Accidental Medium. The banter btw Tanz and Frank are so good .. many laugh out loud moments. But then you also getReally loved the second book of The Accidental Medium. The banter btw Tanz and Frank are so good .. many laugh out loud moments. But then you also get the emotional and heart-warming moments that bring a small tear to your eye. Additionally, the narration - by Tracy Whitwell herself - is so good. I love all the quirky, unique characters that are packed into this short book and i am really looking forward to the next one (Cross Bones, which pubs on 18th July 2024)....more
2.5/5* round up to 3 for the narration. not my cup of tea really. way too confusing with the sudden changing POVs and no real plot during the majority 2.5/5* round up to 3 for the narration. not my cup of tea really. way too confusing with the sudden changing POVs and no real plot during the majority of the book. it made sense in the end but i had way too many moments of trying to figure out which POV we are following now during the book. The narrator was really good though and the soundeffects where a nice addition. overall an ok story to listen to. ...more

Read via Netgalley ARC The description sounded like an interesting fun read but sadly it didn't do a lot for me The POVs were all over the place at timeRead via Netgalley ARC The description sounded like an interesting fun read but sadly it didn't do a lot for me The POVs were all over the place at times and I was confused who was POV and who wasn't - that brought me out of the story quite a few times and then the enjoyment was gone. Although the different creatures were very fun, cute and in parts adorable (oh i want a cute Brownie), the rest of the cast was not. Sadly, I could not click with any of the "humans" and this made it quite a chore to read. I am 100% sure for the right reader it will be a 5star for sure. ...more
