AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: EVEN TREE NYMPHS GET THE BLUES

Patrol Log:  12710162019







RATED IT








Ingrid Asher is the newest resident of Mystic Bayou, a tiny town hidden in the swamp where shapeshifters, vampires, witches and dragons live alongside humans.

Ingrid doesn’t ask for much. The solitary tree nymph just wants to live a quiet life running her ice-cream shop in peace. Unfortunately, she can’t seem to shake her new neighbor, Rob Aspern, head of the League’s data science department and so good looking it just isn’t fair.

If there’s one thing Ingrid doesn’t need, it’s someone poking around in her business. But the more she gets to know the hunky mathematician, the more she finds herself letting her guard down. Can she trust him with her secrets, or will her past destroy everything?



Even Tree Nymphs Get The Blues was a cute little story about Ingrid a tree nymph.  She moved from NY to Mystic Bayou in the hope of living a peaceful life with her tree, a sort of going back to her roots kinda deal, no pun intended, and also to run her own ice cream business.  I truly enjoyed returning to the Mystic Bayou world and the authors comical characters that she has created.  The world building was a cross over from the authors Jane Jameson and Half-Moon Hollow series, so the environment was very warm and friendly for me to enter.  The people, the surroundings, and the shenanigans in this story were like coming home after a long reprieve.  

Ingrid's character was old world, a bit rough around the edges.  It took me a minute to connect with her and although I did not dislike her character, there was nothing very special or dramatic about her to increase the wow factor of her tale for me.  I enjoyed my stay in Mystic but the main attraction fell short for me.


NARRATOR REVIEW

We have a duo narration for this book, woo hoo!  So Amanda Ronconi teams up with Jonathan Davis.  Well, if you're a PY fan, then you know how I feel about Amanda, she is FAB-U-LOUS!  Amanda's tone, sarcasm, comedic timing and acting skills are a real treat to listen to.  Amanda's voice is so ingrained in my brain that I could single her out in a voice off!  

Now for Jonathan Davis, he was not to shabby, not one bit.  He did a pretty good job along side Amanda, and held his own.  Now I'm not saying this cause he's an Audible's Narrator Hall of Famer!  I actually just discovered that when looking him up on social media, after I wrote my review, thank you very much.  The man has skills and a voice made for radio.  Check him out for yourself!  Social links will be below.
