Karma Box Set

Fantasy and Reality come together!

The characters in this series are so real that I almost forget that they represent intangible human constructs like Fate, Luck and Karma. With Augustine's articulate and descriptive writing, as well as Clark's perfectly tuned voice telling this story, you'll never want to stop listening.

Awful narrator

Angel Clark made this a laborious experience with her errors and robotic reading. Try editing your recordings before submitting them.

Loved the story, HATED the Narrator

Would you try another book from Donna Augustine and/or Angel Clark and Andrew B. Wehrlan ?

Angel Clark was the Worst Narrator I have Ever heard and I have heard 100's!!!

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Karma Box Set?

The story and other Narrator was great. But the Angel Clark Sounded like she was trying to sound like a robot and she stumbled through the book. Not to mentions she made it impossible to tell the difference between thoughts and sentences. she ruined these books for me!!!

Makes my ears bleed

This narrator is awful. Totally ruins the story. The story itself is unique and engaging. This narrator beats it to an unreasonable heap of laughable male voices and adds mannerisms and inflections that war with the characters. After reading other reviews I figured I had heard poor narration before and could muscle through it or ignore certain things. This is some of the worst I've heard. Angel Clark manages to turn Fate whiney pompous ass hat with no redeeming qualities. She portrays the character in such a way that completely disrupts the story . Think about reading a serious and touching scene, now have those same characters say the same things non chalantly or in bored tones. That's what you are getting here. Don't t waist a credit.

beware .

story was a great one , but I have never heard a more horrible way of narrative in my life. She would be a perfect William Shatner wanna be .

Great concept...

This story really has so much potential. I love the concept and even the plot, I only wish it was written better. The author’s writing style is just not my cup of tea. For example, she re uses descriptive pronouns, sometimes in the same or adjacent sentences. The way she writes the conversations between her characters is incredibly frustrating. It seems that they can’t and don’t communicate at all but just assume and throw insults. Sometimes the verbal dialogue doesn’t even make sense and if it wasn’t for the predictable way they interact the reader would not be able to even follow what is supposed to be happening. Their relationship is nothing but tension and turmoil, exhausting for me and yet supposedly they have this great love. I can think of only one or two moments of tenderness in the whole series! Now I like your badass chick as much as the next girl, but there should be a balance. Imagine this story in the hands of JK Rowling or Stephanie Meyer, it would be fantastic!

As to the narrator, she was so difficult for me to handle. She sounds like a mix between a bratty teenager and a valley girl. She reads the voices so aggressively and her character voices are awful. Even if you only listen to the way she reads the chapter titles she sounds either bored or pissed off. My guess is she added a lot to the angry feeling of the story. In addition to this, the recording was not edited well. It repeats sentences, and at one point she stops and clears her throat! That should have been edited out!

To summarize, it was a great concept and story. If you are just looking for a brainless fix of badassery and stunted conversations, and if you don’t mind the voice of a whinny, nasally, angry narrator, this book is perfect for you.

Bad

Generally speaking a Mary Sue has some redeeming qualities. This one has none. The secondary characters have none. There is no depth to characterization or growth. The story is rape-y and believes the protagonist is infinitely more interesting, useful, capable, and assertive than she is.
The narrator isn't horrible but isn't good either.
The stories seem marketed as urban fantasy but that is a stretch. It's more like an abusive office relationship with a protagonist who doesn't think she has a problem.
The prequel tries to paint the love interest as worthwhile and that is just a lame attempt to undercut all the evidence.

loved it

the narrator was little bit extreme, but I found it humorous and easy to listen to.. I would listen to the next book out again .. .

Good but not great

Good store but wasn’t mind blowing amazing everything was pretty well predictable it’s a love story we’re the girl is clueless till then end then they live happily ever after
