Tangled in Time

The MacCarthy Sisters, Book 1

By: Barbara Longley

Narrated by: K.C. Sheridan

To set him free from an ancient curse, she must travel to a time of myth and legend...

Regan MacCarthy's ability to see ghosts is a gift inherited from her Irish ancestors, but it's one she'd dearly like to give back. In an attempt to return her powers to their source, she travels to Ireland to harness the ancient magic that still permeates the mystical site of Newgrange. Instead, something far more unexpected awaits her: a strapping, gorgeous stranger who insists he's a centuries-old Celtic warrior.

Fáelán was one of Fionn MacCumhaill's elite soldiers before being cursed by a resentful fae princess. The only way to free himself is to fall so deeply in love that he'd sacrifice his life. Not an easy matter when he's invisible to most. Yet Regan sees him - not just the proud, handsome warrior on the surface, but the complex man beneath. Only when it's too late does Fáelán realize that drawing this beautiful mortal into his world has endangered them both, and may destroy the happiness he's waited an eternity to claim...

QUITE ENTERTAINING

I enjoyed this audio, the female narrator was awesome, the narration for the male character was good also, but the narration for the female character was only okay. I couldn't tell if there was more than one narrator or not. I actually enjoyed the way the storyteller wrote the story between two different time periods and two different worlds. Plus the sex in story was truly sizzling. The main character was a ghost whisperer, so I found some of the story was pretty hilarious. I would highly recommend this audio, I even learned things that I didn't know about how time could actually be working between different but identical worlds.

Good Story

Great narration, a lot of repetitive and redundancy, dragging story out in early chapters. Last half of book much better, grabbed reader more.

meh.

narrator really needs to use a more conversational/emotive tone. story was ok... not great. characters were likeable.

Lost

2.75 Stars for me.

I really liked the premise of the story but it really bogged down through the second half. I lost my attention and would have to go back and listen to sections a second time. The h also drove me insane with... Your a ghost and don't know it... Even though he looks normal and the ghosts she sees are translucent.

Good story bad Voice

The story and characters were well written and I particularly enjoyed the Quantum physics woven into the story. There is no time in Spirit and since Spirit is ALL time travel is merely a point of perspective without the concept of time which keeps us locked in This dimension. The voice I found to be monotonous in cadence especially concerning the supposedly Tennessee accents. They had none of the sweet honey tones that southerners are known for and the cadence of speech lacked timing and emotion. It was like dry pancakes without syrup. This one is better read.

Best book I've listened to maybe ever!

If you have an open mind about science and life then this book is for you. The story was intriguing and exciting to say the least and I struggled to put it down. A love story that is truly romantic and not only about sex was a nice breath of fresh air. The narrator was great and the ending was too, over all I could not have asked for anything better.

Good writing

I super enjoyed this Book Was so much fun reading I'm gonna look for a sequel right now it was so good I wanna read more of this author

Awful narrator; couldn't finish the book

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Not this audiobook version. I don't know how good the story is because I couldn't get past the narrator's weird pauses. She sounds like she was taught to read by William Shatner. The breaks in sentences in places where there wouldn't even be a comma made it difficult to listen to. I found myself so distracted and sometimes had to stop to think about the sentence she said because the breaks were just all wrong. I will NEVER buy another book this person narrated.

If you’ve listened to books by Barbara Longley before, how does this one compare?

I haven't and I gave this one 3 stars because that is average and I don't know if the story is good or bad because I couldn't continue listening.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of K.C. Sheridan?

I don't know the narrators by name. Sheridan did a good job with the accents, but she needs basic reading lessons. Read it like you would speak it. It needs to flow, not have each sentence broken up into many sentence fragments. So frustrating!

Any additional comments?

I don't understand how a book can end up with such a bad reading. Surely Audible listens to the narrations before publication. Please, someone who chooses the narrator, go back and listen to how she breaks up these sentences.

Fae magic and mortal souls

A story I couldn't put down or stop listening to! Fairies vs mortals and time travel in an exciting twist on legends and Ireland folklore! Excited for the next book!

There are very frequent edit breaks

You are settling in to listen and within a few minutes, you hear an edit break which makes for disturbed listening. Sometimes the first word after the edit break is clipped stopping the flow. This happens throughout the performance. I found this very annoying and a sign of an amateur editor. The story was marginal and predictable.
