Jessie Delacroix and the Sanctum of Shadows
Whispering Pines Mystery Series, Book 2
By: Constance Barker, A.J. DeBellis
Narrated by: Angel Clark

This is a book I requested from freeaudiblecodes and the review is my own opinion.
This book continues with Jessie learning about her town's secrets and the Inn's too. She knows about her mom and grandma being a ghost there but she finds out more.
This book has portals, a shifter, new ghosts, and a pirate.
The pros:
*Jessie expanding her powers
*New ghosts
*Hot shifter
The cons:
*Her grandma is still so annoying that I which she would cross over already!
*The narrator! Her voice is like nails on a chalkboard.

I got all three of these books while I had the chance and I wish I had gotten the ebooks. I think I would have enjoyed them more.… (mer)

A Sinister Slice of Murder
A Jessie Delacroix Murder Mystery
By: Constance Barker, A.J. DeBellis
Narrated by: Angel Clark
This book I received from freeaudiblecodes and the review is voluntary. This is book one in the series and it has a cute mystery and I think it mostly is to introduce the characters too. The main character seems a bit hot headed at the beginning and then moves back home to run a B&B because the staff is upset because of the ghosts. We find it's the balls mom and grandma who play a big role in the book. She also has a beagle pup who also has a big part.
One of the patrons dies during a seance at the B&B. His head is cut off but in a way not to leave blood. Also the head is missing!
Her grandma keeps possessing the poor dog so she can leave the residence to look for clues as our gal walks him. It's really a fairly good story but the narration is pretty poor. No matter the voice, it is just wrong. This would be better as a book unless the author gets a different narrator.
Overall, A fair mystery, a cute dog, some interesting characters. Poor narration.… (mer)
