emotional reflective medium-paced

At least he's a good narrator. The book is pretty much what you'd expect it to be.

Spoiler alert

I can't stand the glossed over grooming/teacher student relationship. It's not fine just because he turned 18 or the teacher was a woman.

Narration was OK, wish there was some semblance of feeling in the tense scenes though.

Along Came Holly

Codi Hall

DID NOT FINISH: 8%

The narrators were absolutely horrible, especially the male MC. The book itself wasn't good, but I already knew that going in.

The Christmas Pact

Penelope Ward, Vi Keeland

DID NOT FINISH: 0%

"He's an arrogant asshole, a super creepy guy who only wants the female MC because she's sexy.. but he's hot so it's fine!!!"

NO. Just no. It stated out creepy and just got worse. I know it's free on audible, but the price is still too high. The characters have no depth, there's no explanation on why they should want to be together besides them thinking each other is hot, and he IS CREEPY AF. Eew.
