Hooked on Books

Libba Bray knocked it out of the park with The Diviners! It had it all- mystery, fantasy, historical fiction and the supernatural with a whole bunch of quirky and unique characters. The story was truly fantastic in itself but the audiobook really took it to another level! The narrator, January LaVoy was absolutely fabulous!!  It was the best narration I have heard in a long time. You won't hear a boring monotonous monologue with her. She literally transports you back to the 1920's and brings the characters and story to life.  I would definitely recommend listening to the audio version versus just reading the book if you want to get the full effect. I've seen some reviewers complain that the book was so long but it didn't feel that way listening to the audio. I was so entranced in the story that it went by fast for me. This was the first time I have read anything by Bray or heard LaVoy narrate but it won't be my last. They are both going on my favorites list. I just can't say enough good things about them. Lair of Dreams is the second book in the series and I've heard it's better then the first which is hard to imagine because The Diviners set the bar pretty high. It was incredible- a definite home run in my book!
