Now releasing Wiener Blut by Katharina Maimer
Katharina, with the the help of many familiar voices, is making available a serialized free audio book version of her Fantasy tale, Wiener Blut:
An old café, an even older legend and a new threat.
When Isabelle’s secret past returns to haunt her nightmares, she must take action to protect her family from a threat that is closer than she realises.
Set within the traditional Viennese café culture, ‘Wiener Blut’ (literally translated as ‘Viennese Blood’) is the story of café owner Isabelle Schindler-Krug and her role in a struggle for power that stretches back for centuries.
As she tells her sons the legends behind coffee and Vienna, it becomes clear that one such legend is still in the making, with her own family caught right in the middle.

I review podiobooks on my blog and there is only one way to get a good review: write something I like. Start with characters and go from there. This is exactly what Ms. Maimer has done. The peek into Viennese coffee house life is fascinating, the coffees look and sound devine, and the characters carry the story. While I might be able to list these attributes, they’re not really something that would fit nicely on a checklist. It’s a first novel that doesn’t read like a first novel. I commend Ms. Maimer for not only putting the story into production as quickly as she did, but for doing it in such a polished form. One could probably always do more editing, but this story is far from unedited. I do recommend Wiener Blut, and after listening, I think you will too.

I really loved this book. I enjoyed the fairytale setting and learning something new with each “bedtime story. ”
All of the guest cast did a wonderful job as well.
