Dodge & Twist @audible_com Review from @kleffnotes

Katherine Kleffner

Charles Dickens is rumored to have considered creating a sequel to his renowned classic, Oliver Twist, but such a work was never created in his lifetime. While Dickens might not have been able to create a story for an older Oliver, Tony Lee has taken the Dickensian characters from this work and made a story set ten years after the original ended. Oliver has returned to London to deal with the solicitors controlling his adopted father’s estate, but with this money held out of reach, he finds himself back in the world of pickpockets and thieves. Dodger has a plan that will make both men obscenely wealthy with just one big scheme. As the Audible Original Drama of Dodge & Twist unfolds listeners will find themselves transported into the dangerous streets of London and surrounded by the criminal characters Oliver thought he had escaped.

Halo of Power Book Review from @kleffnotes

Katherine Kleffner

Halo of Power is the third book in the Mal Thomas series from Jeremy D. Holden. I have reviewed the two previous books in the series already, Sea of Doubt and Valley of Time, and each book is full of twists, turns, and lots of secrets. Mal Thomas is a character any reader can connect with and in this new book they can either experience more mysteries or check out the series for the first time.
