The characters and idea are both fun and interesting. The writer does an excellent job reading her narrative and is engaging and delightful.

I have read/listened to several sotries in the "alternative view of superheroes" sub genre and this is by far my favorite. It is a totally original take on the superhero idea and without being pretentious at all completely turn the iodea upside down.Read full review »

I thought that this was an interesting take on the superhero genre. The characters were fun and as someone who worked in a bar in a previous life I could totally believe the disgruntled bar flys angle.

I will always spend money on a story with a female protagonist even if she's really a MicGuffin like in Black list. But this is not Black list. It's a very cool concept. Kinda like the "Powers " comic back in the day, you know the one PlayStation made a TV show out of. Well this...Read full review »

Excellently written story that just makes you love the main character and her group of friends. Not great people but they just wanted to do the right thing. I wish Mur had written a second book, I need answers to a question or two!

Found this by chance while searching for audio dramas online, and was immediately sucked into the story and taken with the characters. My only regret is that I didn't find it sooner, but I am glad that it still lives on the Internet.Read full review »

A great story about the rest of us who are under the "protection" of the super heroes: the arrogance of said heroes, the clean up after their "rescues," the traffic jams, etc. Its just a great story for anyone who has ever been told they aren't good enough. It's...Read full review »

Just perfect the way it is. It was so good, I'm coming back a year later to write a review for it. And now I'm starting on "Heaven".Read full review »

I was riveted from word one- it's an excellent story with a compelling "heroine!" Thank you Mur!!Read full review »

This is a unique take on superhero fiction, and I really enjoyed Mur's creative, fun take on an otherwise not so interesting genre. I will be looking for more audio books by this author.Read full review »

Excellent to listen to in between fighting villains as a sidekick to Dr. Ampere.
Leaping Lad via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/11/12
If your a fan of capes and heroes, villians and all the super hero troopes listen to this because Mur turns them all on there head and gives you a great story!
Henry Graham via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 08/07/11
Playing for Keeps tells the tale of Keepsie Branson, a bar owner with the super power to keep anything she has, and when its hers, NO ONE can take it from her. It may not seem like much of a super power, but in the hands of Mur Lafferty, its written as being absolutely gold. The superb premise...Read full review »

Cute and witty story for those who love a good Super Hero (or in this case super hero wanabe) story. These characters have you cheering for them, embarrassed for them, and on their side! A good clean story for those who are looking for lighthearted humor.

If you are reading this Mur well done, bloody brilliant audiobook, very original this is my 3rd time listening to it!
Ricky G Walker via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/12/10
She has a witty fun writing style. It make me think this is an author I would love to meet just so I can see what kind of person thinks of the stuff she does. While this is my favorite to date. Check out her Heaven Series. Great stuff Mur. Keep doing what you do because the financial success will...Read full review »

This story is absolutely brilliant. This is a superhero story with a difference. The world Mur has created, the characters, its all fantastic. Real characters in an engaging and exciting story. The pace is great, the humour is great, the powers are brilliant. Seriously I HAVE to rave about this...Read full review »
