Stunning Debut Novel

'Remix' is Lexi Revellion's self-published romantic suspense debut novel and as such I think that it compares remarkably well with classics of the genre such as J D Robb's 'In Death' stories. It has an excellent plot, set in London where the author resides, and has an easy to listen to style. The plot plausibility is much enhanced by the use of local London information and by expert knowledge of art and of restoring rocking horses. The characters are also well developed and one can readily feel an empathy for the hero and heroine in their struggle to solve the central mystery.

The pages turn rapidly as the suspense builds and the narrator Anne Day-Jones, while not being as good as my favorite narrators (eg Jennifer O'Donnell), does a good job with the different voices and is easy and pleasant to listen to. While listening in the car, at one point I became so enthralled by the suspense as Rick and Caz lay bound and gagged at the mercy of the two villains, that I missed my motor way exit ..... which allowed me to finish the book before reaching my destination.
There can be no better recommendation!

excellent audiobook

What made the experience of listening to Remix the most enjoyable?

I've been a fan of Lexi's books for a while now. I have actually already read Remix - 3 years ago. After reading Remix and also Replica I contacted Lexi to let her know how impressed I was. She writes at a standard that you just don't expect from self- published authors.Lexi added me to her mailing list. She recently offered a free copy of the audiobook of Remix to her mailing list, in exchange for an honest review. I snapped up the offer as I am just starting to get into audiobooks and loved the idea of having one of a book that I already knew I'd enjoyed.So, the story: great story. I'm not very good at reviews as I don't want to accidentally give the story away, but I love how she writes the main character Caz. The performance: excellent. Anne Day-Jones IS the voice of Caz, and she manages to give all the other characters their own distinct voices to.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

googling with the nose!

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Books don't make me laugh out loud easily, but I did chuckle a good few times. I also gasped a couple of times- pretty impressive as I'd already read the book!

Any additional comments?

Thoroughly recommend this audiobook, if you are looking for something fun but with a good story.

Totally absorbing, feel good thriller

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Definitely

Any additional comments?

I caught one of those airport/plane bugs when returning from holiday and spent a couple of days on the sofa sneezing. Boy was I pleased to have Remix to listen to. Right from the start I was drawn in and what a relief it was to have a reader who read it so well. I have a lot of audio books and some readers I find annoying, but Anne Day-Jones was particularly good and, combined with the writer's excellent descriptions and story-telling skills, I was able to enjoy being stuck on the sofa with a box of tissues and the snivels. It turned into time well spent.

I was so absorbed in this terrific story that nothing else mattered but to root for Caz. This is a thriller that leads you right to knuckle biting and out the other side.

I could listen to this book several times because the settings, descriptions and the characters made me feel as though I was taking part with them and I'd rather be in Remix than doing the chores!
