Jen’s Mini Reviews: Books by Debra Anastasia, A. Jade, and Ella Maise

February 25, 2022 by Jen 4 Comments

I’m going to review these in order with the best being last. Here we go! First up is Mercy by Debra Anastasia. New author to me that I listened to over the course of several days. Zachery Webber and Muffy Newtown are the narrators. I would listen to Webber read the dictionary. That’s how much I love his voice. Newtown didn’t do it for me, she’s sort of too breathless and didn’t feel like the right voice for her character.  Main characters Phoenix (nickname - Nix) and Becca first meet Continue Reading
