Monsters, gods, and mayhem....

Police Chief Delaney Reed can handle the Valkyries, werewolves, gill-men and other paranormal creatures who call the small beach town of Ordinary, Oregon their home. It’s the vacationing gods who keep her up at night.

With the famous rhubarb festival right around the corner, small-town tensions, tempers, and godly tantrums are at an all-time high. The last thing Delaney needs is her ex-boyfriend reappearing just when she's finally caught the attention of Ryder Bailey, the one man she should never love.

No, scratch that. The actual last thing she needs is a dead body washing ashore, especially since the dead body is a god.

Catching a murderer, wrestling a god power, and re-scheduling the apocalypse? Just another day on the job in Ordinary. Falling in love with her childhood friend while trying to keep the secrets of her town secret? That’s gonna take some work.

Despite some predictable plot points due to heavy foreshadowing, the listening was easy and fun and I really enjoyed how they introduced the world so matter of fact without over explaining the gods and their powers. I'm intrigued and can't wait to listen to the next part. My biggest complaint was that there were moments where the background noise was so loud that it made hearing the characters speak difficult but luckily those were few and far between.

Fun worldbuilding

Nice dramatised reading, great narration. Story ok, the romance is very insta-lusty and not very well executed, for a childhood connection it's way too shallow and seems to be only based on "hotness"

Fun reading, story ok

First: The realization of the audio play is great and the actors doing a good job.

BUT THE STORY.... The mythological creatures & gods are at best 'labels'. Neither their background, religious-cultural meaning or character is of any real consequence. It is often just like 'name-dropping'. Have vampires... Check. No insight or real worldbuilding. And how you can have non-American based deities and ignore that opportunity to create a character with a whiff of indivduality... Well, having nearly all folks liking beer is making descriptions easier and unifies the community.

And then the 'romance'... The level of hormone-driven 'thinking' is for me unbearable. It is a wonder the characters manage to open a door when seeing an attractive body and most remarks about of the attracting gender seem to be about it. If you are 'hot' and of the 3 sisters mostly running the police going to arrest you, take your shirt off and you might buy the time to get away. It feels like most of the dialogue is about dating this guy, wanting that guy... But do not worry, most of the town appears that shallow. I gave up after approx. 2 hours of listening to this.
Now I am will look for a couple of missing brain-cells, but I fear they might have died.

Mindnumbing
