Booksprout’s independent reviews for Opened Ground on Audible
Perfect for Hallows Eve
I loved this story. It had everything I am interested in: the paranormal, old churches and archaeology. I liked the characters. I think Sarah was a unique character. The author knows how to write stories that are memorable and entertaining.
Ghost story
Opened Ground - The St. Jude’s Hauntings, written and narrated by Vicky Fox, is a wonderful ghost story fantasy. The story is interesting, entertaining, enjoyable, mysterious, and more. This is a three-in-one story.
Fascinating
Opened Ground is a fascinating book filled with great historical moments and a plethora of mystery. The narrator did a lovely job of bringing the book to audio life. I quite enjoyed this one.
Opened Ground
Loved the narration from Vicky Fox. Sarah is summoned to a deconsecrated church to investigate the ancient stones found beneath it. We have a storm that stops Sarah and her colleagues from leaving. This is a great story with the history of blood sacrifice and murder. You feel the past and present meeting. Listen in the daytime.
I listened to it in one go!
Such a good story, which the narrator tells very well. The characters are well-conceived and have believable personalities. There is a large amount of history within the tale, but it is seamlessly blended into the fictional storylines.
FALLEN ANGELS - Alchemy or Artifice
UNSEEN ALLIANCE - the Hidden Realm in World War II
It is 1848 and Robert McKinley has fallen in love with an actress from a travelling company. There is something magical about the world of the players, but they disappear without trace.
He is torn between the search for her and joining fellow Pre-Raphaelite painters to form an artists’ community. They long for the idealised simplicity of medieval art, aware that a desperate struggle is beginning in the English countryside. Industry wraps iron bonds on its people as surely as the railway spreads through the ancient landscape, but they are not the only creatures caught in the great web of technology.
Others have lived in this realm far longer, gods and lords of the old order, under and over hills, possessing magic and longevity, in harmony with nature. McKinley must battle an unholy alliance of men and these creatures to find the woman he loves. This is a bloody story of passion and the mystical.
Winston Churchill was a man open to dangerous ideas, and in the summer of 1940, Britain stood alone against a German army that controlled most of the continent. A battle for air superiority was fought in the skies as the Nazis made preparation for the invasion that would secure their victory in the European theatre of war.
When an overture is received from the hidden realm of the greyfolk, the fae, to assist the sabotage units secretly being set up in preparation for invasion, it is taken seriously. But they have aims of their own. The Industrial Revolution destroyed the places where they lived and damaged their ability to reproduce. Can they be trusted?
A land girl is recruited to a special auxiliary unit but finds herself caught in a web of treachery and passion.
