Meh

The plot is interesting but the writing and narration are both wooden and stilted, and there are a few small editing errors. Both the writing and narration improved very slightly over the course of the three books, the narration more so. For example: I don't know many people who 'roll their neck' all the time, but more than one of these characters do it regularly. Phrases are used over and over again, both in descriptions and dialogue. The author seems to have a need to prove she has a vocabulary, so characters say things people rarely say in real-life conversation. It's fine to use good, chewy words in a description or narrative, but unless your characters are set up as being highly intelligent, pretentious snobs, then use of those words in dialogue is jarring. More research about common practice on cruise ships would help, too. I know this is one cruise ship I wouldn't want to sail on because people are constantly disappearing under suspicious circumstances, and the ship doesn't try to rescue people who are suspected of having gone overboard. As far as the narration goes, the first book is filled with extremely odd pauses in the middle of phrases after verbs that have an odd inflection. The narration does improve some for the second book, but declines again in the third one. Overall, I think the plot idea has potential, and I think the writer and narrator also both have potential, but haven't reached it yet. If the three book set is $5.00 or less then I might buy it to pass the time while driving, but otherwise I'd pass.

It's ok

Enjoyed the 1 and 3 books the most. Follows the author's format of a 27 YO Heroine with a heavy handed male love intrest, surprisingly he is also in law enforcement, who seen that coming. What is really disappointing that I think I only laughed twice, which is abnormal for this author

Fun Listen

Thank you for a new good Narrator. The last one just didn't cut it. Fun story lines not to heavy or to sexy.

Eh

This was the first three books in one. The first two were delightful. The third was tedious at best. Depressing, and full of needless droning on and on about nothing aside from the story line. I didn't think it would ever end. Macabre would describe it best.

A Fun Series

I am going through the whole series again. I like it even better the second time, actually. Paranormal cozies help me de-stress. Thanks, Amanda M Lee/ Lily Harper Hart!

Another Great Series by Lily Harper Hart

I enjoyed getting to know Rowan and Quinn and look forward to more cruising adventures with them. I gave this set a 4 rating rather than a 5 because I would like to see the friendships outside the two main characters progress beyond poking at Rowan and Quinn about their sex lives. it is getting monotonous. I love witty dialogue and banter, and while these books have them, they really need to develop and mature. Regardless, the books are entertaining and had me chuckling out loud several times. I purchased the next boxed set.

Rowan and Quinn

I just love these two together. I love the trouble they find and I love how they are in it together to the end.
