The Longest Autumn by Amy Avery

 5 out of 5 stars Thank you to Macmillan Audio and Netgalley for allowing me to read this great novel.  I really, really loved this book. This had everything I love in a story. There is mythology, romance, friendship and love.  Tirne has the great honor of escorting the God of Autumn to for his three month stay until Winter makes her entrance. As they walk through the mirror it breaks which begins the long Autumn. Tirne herself is suspected of causing the break. I don't want to go too deep into what happens but let me just say that this is great. The world building  is fantastic. 

Dying to be Her by Gregg Olsen

 5 out of 5 stars As soon as I finished book in the series (Beneath Her Skin) I jumped right into this the very same night because I couldn't wait to read more! Another great story set in Port Gamble. I found myself liking this story just as much if not a little bit more than the last book. I have enjoyed finding out more about the twins and their powers. I really do enjoy all the characters different points of view. This mystery was just as good and there was actually a pretty big surprise when it comes to a certain character. I did figure out who the murderer was but the fun was in the story and seeing how these character's minds work. Another fantastic narration by Karen Peakes. 

Beneath Her Skin by Gregg Olsen

 5 out of 5 stars Thank you to Netgalley and Bookoutre  for allowing me to listen to this in exchange for an honest review. I have been kind of hit or miss with Greg Olsen but the premise for this sounded very intriguing and the cover was fantastic so I really wanted to read this and let me say I am not disappointed and in fact enjoyed this so much! I found the residents of Port Gamble to be interesting and this kind of has a cozy vibe for me.  I also really enjoyed the paranormal aspect. Twin sisters Hayley and Taylor Ryan can communicate with the dead. The blurb says that they can hear the dead but to me it is different, they seem to get flashes of things. The narrator Karen Peakes was really great, she did a fantastic job of sounding like a teen girl one moment and an adult another.
