Resumen del Editor

Psychic seeking psycho.

My name is Darla, and I’m a psychometrist.

When I touch objects, I pick up the memories and emotions of other people who have touched them.

I was well into my midlife when I was recruited to serve on the Memory Guild, a secret society of supernaturals and paranormals. Based in one of the nation’s oldest cities, the Guild preserves historical memory while fighting lies and conspiracy theories.

And now a psychopath is trying to assassinate the members of the Guild. Including yours truly.

With the reluctant help of a handsome detective, I try to find out who’s behind the attacks. In between that and trying to stay alive, I also have a day job: running a historic bed-and-breakfast. So I’m kind of busy right now.

I don’t need the unplanned trips though a magic portal and the revealed secrets about my second husband who left me. All while dealing with my wacky witch mother and my trouble-prone daughter.

I’m your typical overworked woman. Except I also have a price on my head.

Enter a world of mystery, magic, murder, and mischief, with ties to the Freaky Florida humorous paranormal series.

Too much fun!

middle-aged, urban-fantasy, Florida, situational-humor, verbal-humor, law-enforcement, guilds, gargoyle, paranormal, assassins, ghosts, friendship, hospitality-industry, werewolves, witches, mysteries*****

This is only the second in a really fun series about a lot of different individuals with paranormal abilities, assassins, and all narrated by the new owner of a historic inn in Florida. You've got to listen to it and laugh your sox off!
Madeline Mrozek has the monumental task of narrating this great story, giving life to the cast of many, and managing to keep from laughing out loud! Besides, her delivery is so great that I can listen at whichever speed suits the tasks I'm up to at the time.

Fantastic follow up

I am in love with this series. Every book just brings you closer in to the characters lives. Now what will I do while waiting for the next one? Listen to the first again! And hope that Cory is found in the in between.

Around read

Madeline Mrozek does a wonderful job with narration and bringing the characters to life with distinct voices. The twists are interesting and I even giggled a few times. A book to add to your tbr list.

I love stories such as this one

The 2nd book in this series was amazing! I love the mystery shrouding the characters. I love the lead in to what I believe will be the next book in the series. I can't wait! I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

I can't wait for Book 3!!

The Psychic Touch by Ward Parker, narrated by Madeline Mrozek, is Book 2 in the Memory Guild series. And, what a fantastic series it is! While Book 2 can be considered a standalone novel, I think you will enjoy it much more if you start with Book 1 because you will get to know the characters on a deeper level (and after meeting them, I know you're going to want to…they are all so much fun!). Ward Parker's writing is super engaging, and I have to say (without sounding cliché), there's never a dull moment. The main storyline and subplots mesh together so well that when certain secrets or "truths" were revealed, I never even saw them coming! I'm really happy I was introduced to this series; it isn't one I would normally choose for myself, but now here I am, already excited to see what Book 3 is going to be about!

The narration by Madeline Mrozek was absolutely flawless! She did an amazing job bringing each scene to life, so much that I forgot I was listening. Instead, I felt like I was there alongside the characters, watching everything happen right in front of me. Listening to Mrozek definitely heightened my overall experience. There are a ton of "laugh-out-loud" moments…she is sooo funny…and she has this amazing ability of making every single character seem like a real-life person I've known for years. She does an outstanding job giving every single character their own distinct voice, while allowing their personalities to shine in a way that's both memorable and fulfilling. She is the perfect narrator for this book and series, and I cannot wait to hear more!

The Psychic Touch: Memory Guild, Book 2 written by Ward Parker and narrated by Madeline Mrozek is an awesome audiobook for teens through adults and is very deserving of 5/5 starts across the board. It is cleverly written, easy to follow, and a joy to listen to (I especially loved chapter 16!!). I recommend this audiobook to those who enjoy unpredictable mysteries, realistic dialogue, memorable characters, and storylines filled with humor and elements of the supernatural and paranormal. Even if this isn't your usual genre, I have a strong feeling you're going to love this one as much as I did. 

Thank you for reading my review. I hope it was helpful. Happy listening! :-)

Great Story

kept me listening well into the night. I didn't want it to end but I wanted to find out what happened. A must for your library

The right dose of mystery, humour, and magic

The Psychic Touch is the second book in the Memory Guild series. Darla Chestwick recently started a new life in St. Marcos, Florida, where she owns a 300-year-old Bed and Breakfast. Darla’s business is starting to pick up when one of her guests is found dead after falling from his bedroom window. The deceased man’s wife blames the ghost in the room, but Darla knows this can’t be the case, but she still can’t explain this unexpected death.

This was an entertaining listen! It had the right dose of mystery, humour, and magic. Parker did a great job building up the intrigue, creating subplots, and generally crafting a riveting tale with charismatic characters, and secret societies. I also wanted to mention that I didn’t suspect who was behind the murders until the end, which means that this is a book that kept me guessing, and there were many surprises along the way.

Madeline Mrozek delivered an extraordinaire narration, with an ample voice range, making all the characters distinguishable, and great interpretation skills. The audio production was spotless. This is one of those cases where a good story becomes even better thanks to the narrator.

I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

Great Paranormal

I enjoyed this audiobook about ghosts, witches, magic, demons, vampires and a murder mystery.
The story, characters and flow were well done. I liked the narration by Madeline Mrozek.

Authors agenda

The story overall is decent. I prefer my cozy mysteries not to be full of the authors political agenda.
