The Discarnates by Duncan Ralston This is such a fun story!! Duncan is obviously a master at writing based on feeling rather than telling of the story. I felt the story from start to end. The characters are relatable and the world is believable… including the astral plane. I had a lot of fun reading this story. It is a quick read, fast-paced. The writing style made it easy to breeze right on through the story. It is full of mystery and the supernatural. The character development is fantastic. I was able to connect and relate to many characters. A lot of development went into these characters, and it shows that Ralston did some serious work on developing these characters. I love the supernatural abilities chosen for each character, which matched their personalities perfectly. The world building is simply amazing. The astral plane versus the normal world is written so well, I felt the differences. I could actually visualize the world and the scenes. I can’t believ...
A fantastic story about a family that feels like it has a curse. The Wester women of a small town not only deal with difficult childhoods, but also the idea they are witches from local townsfolk. Dark secrets and lies lead these women's lives. I love the idea of paper ghosts. Narrator Marin Ireland did a phenomenal job reading the story for us. An amazing range in emotions and the ability to put you right in this small North Carolina town. An easy five-star listen for me.
