Abby Craden

Just the most brilliant reader of all time

The story was fun. Initially I thought it had more holes in it than a spaghetti sieve...
however, in the end I thoroughly enjoyed the story... just a bit of good fun with some writing gems from E.J. Noyes

Highly recommended

Read It, Listen to It whatever! Highly Recommend

Ok! 24 hours since I finished listening to Reaping the Benefits. I have thought of all these one liners Wow! Simply Marvellous! But quite frankly, short of a billboard in the Brisbane City Mall, nothing will do. Another book of EJ Noyes that I thought hmmm not really my kind of book. But after putting off listening to Alone and then loving it, I was somewhat less hesitant this time. I am so glad because EJ Noyes you have excelled again. Love it! Somewhat Harry Potterish.... wait! I know you are probably thinking what kind of Les fic is this? Well it’s fun and romantic and not at all serious but definitely worth a listen or read. It had me giggling more than once. Love your work as always EJ Noyes and Abby Craden you definitely rock as per usual. Thank you for another great book. Definitely my favourite author and narrator.

Fantastic!

The kind of queer romance fiction I've been looking for. Loved the voice actors, very sexy.

Excellent escapism

I downloaded this audiobook without reading the blurb because I've always enjoyed Noyes' books, so I was very pleasantly surprised to discover that this had elements of the paranormal mixed into it. It would be grossly unfair to say that COVID was entirely responsible for how much I enjoyed this book (although it played a supporting part) because it's an excellent book. The paranormal parts of the book help distract from the less than pleasant everyday reality that we're currently living through. The characters are well formed and the dialogue is witty. It would also be remiss of me to not mention that Abby Craden did an excellent job of bringing the characters to life. I can confidently say that this is my favourite-est-est Noyes book, so much so I'm listening to it for the second time almost immediately after finishing it.

Fun, well written, well acted

More a romance than speculative fiction this book was everything you would want from the genre. Not many surprises but very enjoyable plot and great characters. Sex scenes not avoided by author and seemed authentic to me.

Different concept

Interesting concept. interesting characters - especially CC! I want her story!!
Story got a little bogged down in explanation at times...but seeing as the concept was a novel one, I understood the need. Quite different from other books I've read of EJN. Not sure why, but wasn't very invested in this world she's created but still enjoyed the story.
Narration by AC was full of inflection...had to get used to her Pommy accent, which was a lot better than her Aussie one😁...juuuust didn't do it for me. Personal preference for story telling is her American accent so far. I felt CC's accent was pretty spot on as well. I need a love story for CC narrated by AC . One thing is for certain, AC's narration bring all the characters to life as unique people, with clear personalities and a realness to them that surprises and impresses me everytime I think about it.

Hard to get into

Struggled to follow the storyline and stay focused. I've enjoyed Noyes' books and had high hopes for this one but just couldn't follow.
