Series: Liches Get Stitches

The Audiobook Review — Sun, 02 Mar 2025 00:43:30 +0000

Some series are just too good to let go without a final word, and Maud’s undead adventures certainly deserve a proper send-off. Over the course of five books, the delightful and merciless Maud Greenleaf has charmed, amused, and horrified in […]

The Audiobook Review — Sun, 25 Aug 2024 02:58:35 +0000

We’ve all been there. Starting a new audiobook or series with high hopes, only to find ourselves struggling to stay engaged. Maybe the plot isn’t clicking, the characters feel flat, or the narrator’s voice just isn’t doing it for you. […]
