DON’T MESS WITH ANNA
A Reckoning in Blood and Ink

by Celeste Prater

Narrated by: Jason Torres

Production by: Celeste Prater

Vengeance with Spilled Blood!

Anna DeMarco, a writer shattered by the cruel betrayal of critic Milton Smith, drags his soul into a merciless realm where her magic turns vengeance into a jagged blade. Transformed from smug medieval-lore obsessive to chained laborer in a curse-forged world of his own design, Milton bleeds under the wrath of those he broke. Amid hard labor and spilled blood, even the damned may claw their way to redemption—if they survive Anna’s reckoning.

Author Celeste Prater utilizes her creativity to its fullest, crafting a unique narrative that explores themes of revenge, pain, and karma. She takes her time to build her characters with depth and vividness. The dialogue is also well done, further immersing the listener deeper into the plot. The plot twists are unexpected and well-folded into the narrative, providing a deeper immersion. Setting the story in the medieval era, complete with knights and such, made it a richer tale.

The narrator, Jason Torres, delivers a strong, engaging performance. His clear voice and well-timed pauses bring out the story’s tension and emotion, making every curse and moment of doubt feel real. He gives Anna’s fury weight and Milton’s regret a quiet ache, guiding listeners smoothly from vengeance to the faint hope of redemption. In short, his skillful narration lifts an already gripping tale into something you won’t forget.

This tale should encourage all reviewers to think before criticizing a book or author. Words have power!
