Title: Kallos: Kallos, Book 1 Author: Khelsey Jackson Narrator: Jaime Lamchick Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 45 mins Language: English Release date: 05-29-15 Publisher: Khelsey Jackson Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Teens, Myths & Legends Publisher's Summary: Her decisions may have life-ending consequences. Kallos Dean is an everyday, average 16-year-old until she meets the beautiful and enigmatic Hunter brothers. They soon turn her world upside down with a shocking revelation: She is a goddess, one who must unite the splintered soul of her beloved soul mate once she finds him. Her feelings for both Ian and Sean grow by the day, leaving her unsure of where she stands with either of them. Aphrodite, from whom Kallos is reincarnated, teaches her the ways of being a goddess. With this newfound knowledge, however, comes quite a bit of responsibility. To save her life and that of her newfound friends, Kallos must find her soul mate. This decision, however difficult, is the one thing that ties their worlds together. Deep inside, she knows that she has a choice to make. If she's to succeed in mastering who and what she is, she must trust herself and those around her. Only then will she be able to find strength in herself and the goddess she's bound to. Members Reviews: Kallos Kallos By Khelsey Jackson Aphrodite, Apollo and Aries watch from the heavens as the three teens are coming into their own. They are the life embodiment of the three gods. Up to now none of the females born were able to survive but it is hoped that this particular girl will be able to make it. Kallos is that girl. She thinks she is just an ordinary high school girl with parents that are a bit over protective. Then when she starts the new school she meets them the two most gorgeous guys and they both begin to show her a lot of attention. It is making her happy to be at the new school even though her Dad is the principal. When Kallos learns the secret of who she is she learns that she is about to change into something much more than a regular teen. Sean and Ian are the only two that can help her because they have already survived the change. The thing is that if she survives she has to know which to choose and that is not going to be easy but Aphrodite, herself told her she didn't have to choose. There are so many changes when you become a teen and Kallos has to face an even bigger challenge she has to become like Aphrodite and she is not sure if she is up to the challenge. She also knows that she doesn't plan on dying and she doesn't want to lose Sean or Ian. So much happens that you will have to read it to get the entire story and believe me it is one you will really want to read. Bella Doerres MaEd. 02/09/2013 Kallos (Kallos Series) A bit of a let down I had high hopes for this book. I love mythology and the story of Aphrodite, Ares and Apollo being recreated and the love triangle it would bring had me excited to read it. Overall, it was just ok for me. I thought the writing was repetitive and the main character, Kallos, was very annoying. She meets and falls for Ian and Sean Hunter. While both end up being her soul mates, that fact that she accepts loving both of them so quickly and just trading off between the two came across in a bad way. All the crap she puts up with from Ian and feeling sorry for him was just too much. I'm curious enough to read the next book but I would have to read it while I was reading something else so I could take a break when the writing gets to be to much for me to handle. Great potential. Needs more work. The story is interesting and has great potential. Sadly this book needs more editing. It was hard to read at times.

It begins in the summer before Gracie will be starting high school, and she is very nervous about it. To make matters worse, her best friend Michie is off spending the summer with her father and Gracie is left all alone. However, her loneliness is short-lived when she meets Henry and they set out on an adventure that Gracie will never forget. Members Reviews: 1st Experience with an audio book - My Henry What did you love best about My Henry? The storyline was right up my alley of what I enjoy in both books and movies. Fantasy, magic, the possibilities of what if's, love, a touch of reality. This book had a touch of all of them. Who was your favorite character and why? That's a toss up between Gracie and Henry. On one hand I loved Henry and who his character was, but on the other hand I was envious of Gracie for getting a glimpse into a world I want to be in so I got to share that with her. Have you listened to any of Dora Gaunts other performances before? How does this one compare? This was my 1st experience with both an audio book and with listening to Dora. At first I had a little bit of a hard time and lost concentration a few times (I'm use to reading and bringing the story to life in my own mind with my own voice) but before I knew I it got easier to listen while doing other things online. Her voice was very calming, kept my attention and I quickly found the experience very enjoyable. I was able to do other things while being sweep away into the story and actually picturing the events. THAT'S when you know I love a book, if I'm living it, and she took me on that journey. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? Yes the ending. I will not type any spoilers for the ending here but I will say I yelled NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO at the ending that it was over and would like BOOK TWO PLEASE! I'd like to see that story continue and take me further. Any additional comments? Thank you for the fun and excitement of a good book! My Henry Would you listen to My Henry again? Why? yes , it was a well written story ! What was one of the most memorable moments of My Henry? the way Henry can change from horse, to dolphin , to human, that is cool !! Which character as performed by Dora Gaunt was your favorite? Gracie Lemaras Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? When Henry did return to the stream just as Gracie was thinking she would never see him again ! Any additional comments? this is one book that i will recommend to friends with children as a very good story to listen to together in a family setting , both young and old alike will surly love "My Henry" !!! it is very interesting and imaginative !!! Not just for teens... Great storyline and narration. As another reviewer said, we definitely need a sequel and soon! a bittersweet tale Would you listen to My Henry again? Why? I will! I love the storyline and will listen again to pick up on details that I may have missed. Who was your favorite character and why? Mishy! The best friend we all wish that we had in high school. I loved how she was there for Grace in every way possible. Have you listened to any of Dora Gaunts other performances before? How does this one compare? This was my first experience listening to this narrator.

The Dead Men Stood Together Audiobook by Chris Priestley

Title: The Dead Men Stood Together Author: Chris Priestley Narrator: Jack Hawkins Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 49 mins Language: English Release date: 10-02-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Teens, Myths & Legends Publisher's Summary: In a harbour town long ago, a boy is entranced by his uncle's stories of adventure in lands far away. Ignoring the crazy talk of the harbour pilot's son about the uncle being the Devil, the boy boards a ship with his uncle. But the uncle soon makes enemies of the captain and crew and, in frustration at their superstition, kills an albatross that has befriended the ship. As the ship sails on, madness and death ensue, and the boy and the crew face unimaginable horrors. A superbly gripping and haunting tale for fans of all classic horror. Members Reviews: Great book! I would recommend this book to any adult or teen who likes mysterious, spooky tales. IT is a retelling of "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. It is really well done throughout and holds the reader's interests. I loved this book I really loved this book. It would be very entertaining for both adults and children. I love Chris Priestley books. The Dead Men Stood Together This is a re-telling of, âThe Rime of the Ancient Mariner,â the classic poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, published in 1798. The poem is generally considered the beginning of British Romantic literature and I remember studying it many years ago at school. I did think, at first, that such a straightforward prose telling of the poem was possibly rather pointless. However, my eleven year old son was totally gripped by this. He is not, unsurprisingly, familiar with the original poem and so was unaware of the plot and, as such (as we read it together for an English project), I saw it through his eyes. He had no idea what was coming and it brought the poem alive for me again. The story itself is rather creepy and dark. The author has managed to keep the period with the language and the general historical feel is really good. The characters are introduced in a nameless way; so we see them as the âmarinerâ who is the uncle of the main character â his young nephew who narrates the book. My son is eleven and with the dark themes, death and danger, I would suggest it for children of 10 and up. My son is now keen to read more books by Chris Priestley.

Title: Daughter of Count Dracula: Kula's Dilemma Subtitle: Transylvanica High Series, Book 3 Author: R. Barri Flowers Narrator: Elizabeth Basalto Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 49 mins Language: English Release date: 09-14-16 Publisher: R. Barri Flowers Ratings: 2 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Teens, Myths & Legends Publisher's Summary: From R. Barri Flowers, best-selling author of the popular young adult Transylvanica High series, featuring Count Dracula's Teenage Daughter and Out for Blood: Kula's Destiny, comes the exciting third book in the series, Daughter of Count Dracula: Kula's Dilemma. Seventeen-year-old honor student Kula Lockhart is a junior at Transylvanica High School in Harbor Heights, Michigan. It is one of several integrated pilot schools across the country where human and vampire students peacefully coexist. As the half human, half vampire daughter of Count Dracula, Kula has become a target of those who seek to destroy vampires, in spite of her vamp guardians, Ivan and Amelia, and Kula's own growing sense of self-preservation that she inherited from her father. In her latest crisis, Kula is devastated when her mortal boyfriend, Eriq Pratt, is left clinging to life after a car accident orchestrated by a vampire hunter. When things reach a point of no return, Kula turns Eriq into a vampire to keep him alive forever. Eriq must adjust to his new life as a vampire, even as he tries to hold onto his humanity. His love for Kula is the one constant in his life as is the unwanted presence of Sebastian LeBlanc, a half-vampire who has the hots for Kula. Then there is Gabryela Roswell, Kula's vamp half-sister, and the gorgeous vamp, Jacquelyn Brossard, a member of the rival Doerzic clan, both jockeying for power and romance at Transylvanica High. In the meantime, a pair of teen vampires is targeting the elderly of Harbor Heights for their blood, going against the new order of bottled human blood and blood drives. As a police investigation is underway, with humans and vamps on edge, Kula is given the shock of her life when her birth mother she believed was dead shows up in Harbor Heights. But is it a blessing or curse? Members Reviews: Kula's Dilemma Any additional comments? I received a free audiobook in exchange for an honest review. This is an alright book - the different points of view is refreshing and allows a different stance to be seen within the novel. I find the main character quite annoying and whiny. Like all she ever seems to do is talk about her boyfriend. Are you not independent? I really do not like this narrator. It's like every sentence is a question with the amount of inflection she injects into the ending word.

Arrow Through the Axes Audiobook by Patrick Bowman

Title: Arrow Through the Axes Author: Patrick Bowman Narrator: Gerard Doyle Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 57 mins Language: English Release date: 03-27-14 Publisher: Post Hypnotic Press Inc. Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Teens, Myths & Legends Publisher's Summary: Arrow Through the Axes concludes the Odyssey of a Slave trilogy that began with the Red Maple-nominated Torn from Troy, a retelling Homer's Odyssey. The slave Alexi, now free of his Greek captors, infiltrates the Greek strongholds of the Bronze Age in search of his sister. In so doing he participates in the stories of Orestes, son of Agamemnon, as he seeks revenge for his father's murder, and of Telemachus, son of Odysseus, who lands on Ithaca, the home island of Odysseus, just in time to witness the arrival of a mysterious stranger. As Alexi comes to understand the damage that the Trojan War has visited upon its victors, both he and the listener are forced to confront an unpleasant truth, while Alexi must decide where his allegiance really lies. Re-casting the Odyssey as a YA adventure, this trilogy brings ancient mythology to life in a way that traditional retellings cannot. We see what life would have been like for Bronze-Age warriors as Bowman interweaves adventure, ritual and historical detail into a realistic and compelling narrative. Listeners who have experienced pop mythology, and now want to dive deeper, will find Arrow through the Axes especially satisfying, but all listeners will enjoy this powerful excursion into the classic mythology that shaped western culture. Members Reviews: Books like this made me fall in love with words Arrow Through the Axes is the third installment of the Odyssey series told from the viewpoint of a captured slave, Alexi. Through a series of events, Alexi finds himself a free man and able to search for his sister. To do so is dangerous as he must go to Greece where the Greek soldiers and others may recognize him as a Trojan and enslave him again. Always insightful, Alexi learns that the people of Troy are not the only ones who suffered through the war but rather there were dire consequences for both sides the victors and the defeated. The young men are gone, dead in the war or failed to have return thus leaving the old and frail on their own and the children unsupervised and of a pack like mind. Alexi reconnects with old friends and makes new ones. The newest is Telemachus, the son of his former Master Lopex. Again Alexi must decide where his allegiances lie as he comes face to face with a situation that could exact some revenge but also put in peril an innocent life. Who will receive Alexis allegiance? Who is the stranger who seeks to wed the mother of Telemachus and wife of his former Master? Patrick Bowman does a magnificent job of bringing mythology to life and makes it even more exciting. Using the view of a young man opens the story up to others, for listeners to connect with other characters than just the hero. He casts the tales in a new light allowing for a greater understanding of issues and life around that time. He gives authority to the young man, Alexi through his actions and quick wit. Gerard Doyle, narrator, once again fit the voice to the character while still maintaining the previous voices. I loved how he made Alexi sound young, vibrant, unsure and innocent. His voices are calming yet invigorating when the story needs it. I hope to hear more of Doyles reading; he is refreshing and highly talented. I am honored and delighted that I was given this series to hear.

Title: Cursed by the Sea God Author: Patrick Bowman Narrator: Gerard Doyle Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 49 mins Language: English Release date: 07-12-13 Publisher: Post Hypnotic Press Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Teens, Myths & Legends Publisher's Summary: The second volume in the trilogy that re-envisions Homer's Odyssey is once again told from the viewpoint of Alexi, the young Trojan boy. Captured by Odysseus after the fall of Troy, Alexi is forced to accompany the Greeks on their sea journey home to Ithaca. Cursed by the Sea God contains many of the iconic adventures of the homeward journey, including the encounter with the keeper of the winds, the descent into Hades, the fateful visit to the cannibal Laestrygonians, the encounters with Circe the sorceress, who turns the crew into pigs, the songs of the Sirens, and the deadly passage between the monster Scylla and the whirlpool Charybdis. Having earned his master's respect in saving him from the Sirens, Alexi loses it all though mischance, and his own circumstances take a turn for the worse as he is given away to the most brutal soldier on the ship. It takes all of Alexi's skill and determination just to stay alive. The first volume in the trilogy,Torn from Troy, received an Earphone Award from AudioFile Magazine, while the print edition was nominated for the 2012 OLA Red Maple Award and has proved to be a best seller. Members Reviews: A retelling of an old story with a fresh look Alexis journey as slave to Odysseus continues on the fateful journey to Ithaca. This audio is based on Homers Odyssey; packed with action involving deadly encounters with Circe the sorceress, the Sirens and their deadly song, the cannibals of Laestrygonians and the keeper of the wind. Mistakes are made through bad decisions of which Alexi had no input but faces the consequences even as a piglet! Removed from Lopexs (Odysseus) favor through no fault of his own, Alexi must use his wits and knowledge to outsmart others in his company and save them from the curse of the sea god. Alexi is losing friends, but is able to redeem himself in the case of one. Alexi learns to not turn his back on his friends and his actions has consequences for all involved. The audio was wonderful! A retelling of an old story with a fresh look told from the view point of a slave. The moment when Alexi realizes Greeks are human too is moving and genuine. His perseverance and questioning of authority is witty and completely today it is interesting to see how teenagers have not changed from day one until now! Bowman makes Alexi real and easy to build a connection with as with others in the series. Bowmans fresh take on Homers Odyssey is engaging and fun. I remember studying the Odyssey in high school and later in college not once did we look at it beyond the view point of Odysseus or as stories legends are made. Hearing this told from the viewpoint of Alexi is interesting; further it raises the thought in ones mind, what other viewpoints are there? Well written and crafted, Bowman is masterful in his story telling. His character building is excellent as well. There are some characters you just love to hate! I thought telling the story of Pen was an excellent addition to the story. Demonstrating how easy it is to forget ones beginnings, peer pressure and bullying. The narrator, Gerard Doyle did an amazing job at bringing the characters to life with his voice and enthusiasm. His voices were well suited for the tale with just the right amount of excitement, sadness, and wonder strategically placed. His voice over all is calming and light.

Cohen Narrator: Thomas Judd Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 27 mins Language: English Release date: 11-02-17 Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Limited Genres: Teens, Myths & Legends Publisher's Summary: A warmly written crossover fantasy adventure from Daniel A. Cohen. Eight hundred years ago, the Jadans angered the Crier. In punishment, the Crier took their Cold away, condemning them to a life of enslavement in a world bathed in heat. Or so the tale goes. During the day, as the Sun blazes over his head, Micah leads the life of any Jadan slave, running errands through the city of Paphos at the mercy of the petty Nobles and ruthless taskmasters. But after the evening bells have tolled and all other Jadans sleep, Micah escapes into the night in search of scraps and broken objects, which once back inside his barracks he tinkers into treasures. However, when a mysterious masked Jadan publicly threatens Noble authority, a wave of rebellion ripples through the city. With Paphos plunged into turmoil, Micah's secret is at risk of being exposed. And another, which has been waiting hundreds of years to be found, is also on the verge of discovery.... The secret of Cold. Members Reviews: loved every last page! Loved every last page of this book, and not sure I can actually wait too long for book 2, it left me longing for the next instalment. For me it is right up there with The Hunger Games & the Divergent books. A really unique tale that has you guessing from day one, set in a world where the "cold" is controlled by the "elite chosen ones". The characters are all amazing, and it is so well written I could see their lives playing out in my head as I was reading with no trouble at all. How would you cope in a world were you were constantly expected to act "unworthy". This is a MUST READ, just an incredibly unique and gorgeous story...give me more immediately! Highly recommend THE COLDMAKER, by Daniel A. Cohen, is an interesting and creative story which makes for enjoyable reading. Who would think that COLD is a desirable, precious commodity? Read this book and find out! You will not be able to figure out the conclusion! Ruth Rosenberg

Reasonable story, bit predictable but ok as a light read, narration is a bt wooden.

Dane upset that balance the day he became a Soulkeeper. Fate broke the rules. Now, Lucifer is demanding a consequence, requiring Fate to pay the ultimate price for her involvement.

The Audible sync is not connecting me to the book portion not entirely into the story and making it difficult to follow the book. I just love all the books in this series.

While in a coma, she meets the twin sons of Hades-Hypnos (the god of sleep) and Thanatos (the god of death). She thinks she's manipulating a dream, not kissing the god of death and totally rocking his world. Than makes a deal with Hades and goes as a mortal to the Upperworld to try and win Therese's heart, but not all the gods are happy. Some give her gifts. Others try to kill her. The deal requires Therese to avenge the death of her parents. With the help of Thans fierce and exotic sisters, the Furies, she finds herself in an arena face to face with the murderer, and only one will survive. Members Reviews: Wow I wouldn't go as far as to call this a romance novel or a mythology read.... I'd go as far as to call it the dark romance of an under aged teen that was sexually frustrated, added into the mix of a half bad Percy Jackson copy. I was excited to read a mythology fantasy and thought I could put the romance part aside cause romance isn't weird, this however was the most uncomfortable 'romance' I have ever seen, it was extremely one sided and controlling "yay look it's just like real life, except it's more like porn than real life." Still if this author decides to do mythology minus the scary romance I do believe I would read it, cause the book was well informed I feel.... But the romance was a turn off. A Great Read! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? yes, he Mythology characters in this are awesome! Who was your favorite character and why? Therese & Thanatos = Heroine & Hero of story What does Debbie Andreen bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Hearing this in audio ads emotion & meaning to the story that I couldn't do myself. I couldn't even pronounce 1/2 the names. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? When Therese lost her parents in the accident. Any additional comments? I loved this story! I loved how all the mythology characters came to life, even some I didn't know existed. This is a really great read! All the gods & goddesses were there, along with who they are & what the represent. Unique Storyline! Who was your favorite character and why? I loved Thanatos, but also enjoyed the antics of his brother Hypnos. What does Debbie Andreen bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? I really enjoyed Debbie's voice. It just fits the story and the main character, Therese. She is very easy to listen to and I enjoy the way she does use inflection and builds a scene. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? The very beginning had me reeling with all kinds of emotions. I wasn't expecting such a dramatic start to a book and it hooked me completely. Any additional comments? I haven't read/listened to a story quite like this before, it's quite unique. I enjoyed the author's whole take on Greek Mythology. She obviously knows her stuff and has created a fun adventure. I have already downloaded books 2 & 3. Can't wait to see what happens to Thanatos and Therese. The reader was great. Great story! The Gatekeeper's Sons was a well-thought-out mythical story. I found the Greek Mythology to be well researched and really enjoyed that part.

Title: Ascendant Subtitle: Killer Unicorns, Book 2 Author: Diana Peterfreund Narrator: Luci Christian Bell Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 51 mins Language: English Release date: 03-07-12 Publisher: HarperCollins Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 9 votes Genres: Teens, Myths & Legends Publisher's Summary: Astrid Llewelyn is now a fully trained unicorn hunter, but she can't solve all her problems with just a bow and arrow. Her boyfriend, Giovanni, has decided to leave Rome, the Cloisters is in dire financial straits, her best friend's powers seem to be mysteriously disintegrating, and Astrid can't help but feel that school, home, and her hopes of becoming a scientist are nothing but impossible dreams. So when she's given the opportunity to leave the Cloisters and put her skills to use as part of a scientific quest to discover the Remedy, Astrid leaps at the chance. Finally, she can have exactly what she wants - or can she? At Gordian headquarters, deep in the French countryside, Astrid begins to question everything she thought she believed: her love for Giovanni, her loyalty to the Cloisters, and - most of all - her duty as a hunter. Should Astrid be saving the world from killer unicorns, or saving the unicorns from the world? Members Reviews: Wow! I am a huge unicorn fan. (Even have a tattoo.) I have read everything I could get my hands on referring to unicorn lore. I got the first book out of a bargain bin because it had a unicorn it. Turned out to be well written and so interesting to see them in a different light. I liked the book so much, had to purchase the second one. Was not disappointed. Except for the ending. Really would like to see another book. And the bits of history and lore at the end of the first book....So cool. Thanks for something new. I have always loved unicorns. I thought looking at them as killers would change that. All it did was make me like them more. They may only be lore or made up, but these books made me respect them in a way other stories couldn't do. Thank you. Renewed my interest in doing more research. I Want MORE! Diana Peterfreund's first unicorn novel was amazing. Her sequel, Ascendant, was just as good, but took some surprising twists. It took the life of Astrid, a unicorn hunter, in a new direction. Since unicorns are no longer sweet, sparkly myths with this series, we see Astrid struggle with her role as a hunter of these terrifying and majestic creatures and an admirer of the animals they really are. Astrid continues to live in the Cloisters and hunt with the other girls, but things aren't progressing well. They are having trouble finding new recruits, and the Cloisters becomes a focus of attention for both the world at large, once people finally realize unicorns are real and deadly, and the Catholic church, from whom the convent they live in comes from. Astrid's mother Lilith has been in her glory touring talk shows and raising awareness about unicorns (and embellishing her own and her family's role in the unicorn world). Meanwhile the girls fight the deadly fight every day. When one girl gets sick and loses her hunter powers, Astrid agrees to go to England with her for protection. Before she goes to England, though, she stops in France to pursue a lead on the boy who raped her cousin Phil (Philippa) and disqualified her from being a hunter. Once in France, Astrid quickly finds out she wasn't following the boy who hurt Phil, but rather her ex-boyfriend, the one her mother saved with the last of the world's Remedy (anti-unicorn). Brandt is still the guy who spread rumors about her in her high school, but she can't help but be drawn to him.

I was taken aback at the intensity in his face. He rested his wrinkled, but still very strong, hands on my bare shoulders. His gray eyes sought mine as if he expected me to recognize him. "You really are a Daughter of the Wind, are you not?" Cautiously, I looked over at Gabriel, wondering if it was okay to admit the truth. He nodded as if to give me permission. My voice came out as a whisper. "Yes." High-school senior Whitnee has spent six years rebuilding her identity after her father's mysterious disappearance left her with more questions than answers. With her two best friends, Morgan and Caleb, she returns as a mentor to the summer camp of her childhood. Nestled in the Texas hill country, Camp Fusion is everything Whitnee remembers - except for the haunting visions that only she can see. One fateful night, Whitnee and her friends embark on a magical voyage where unexpected adventure and heart-stopping romance collide - a journey that might unlock the dark, complicated mysteries of Whitnee's family history. But will she find the answers she is looking for? Critic Reviews: "The imagery is vivid and the world Dallas has built is absolutely lush. For people looking for high fantasy mixed with teen angst and a lot of secrets, check out this book. I highly recommend." (Young Adult Literature Review) Members Reviews: Adventure For Everyone WINDCHASER is a fantastic adventure story, and the audiobook is such fun rendition. Krissi does an amazing job as narrator. I felt like she was telling the story as she intended it to be read. Starts slowly, but gets good Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes. This book is exciting and has charming characters. What other book might you compare Windchaser to and why? Reminds me of Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, and the Divergent series. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Not originally. It picked up about halfway through and left me wanting more when it ended though! Any additional comments? I really enjoyed this book and bought the second one the same day I finished this one to see what happens next. Awesome Where does Windchaser rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Review: This book has been on my TBR for a very long time and I finally made a spot for it right before the author comes to town. I was pleasantly pleased by this book. I was creative, original, and very enjoyable. I loved it from the beginning to the end, never a dull moment, and full of surprises. This was a story of magic and mystery. Long Story Short: Whitnee lost her father 6 years ago, he just disappeared and she still doesn't know if he is dead or living up somewhere without her and her mother. She was sent to a camp after her father disappeared to deal with her emotions and met her two best friends, Morgan and Caleb. They have been together ever since and now they are counselors at the famous camp that brought them together and changed their lives. The one rule that can't be broken at camp... do not cross the river. After seeing strange visions,Whitnee decides to cross the river and finds an entirely new world awaits. My Thoughts: This was a fantastic read. The world building was amazing, the story intriguing and mysterious, great pace and flow to the story, and wonderful characters.

Make no mistake, the end is looming. Apocalypse Angel is a highly-charged, fast-moving young adult urban fantasy story of apocalyptic good versus evil with a romantic zest. It takes place in the end times loosely based on the Book of Revelation in the New Testament. Not a religious book per se, it addresses the Christian values of chastity and modesty in young adults. It is planned to be part of a two or more book series. Angel engages in wild battle scenes with demons, cambions, gargoyles, goblins, zombies, trolls, dragons, and some ancient Roman and Greek mythical creatures that no one ever imagined existed. In the process, Angel falls in love with her second in command. She is torn between Chris, her fiancé turned evil who still loves her, and her new love interest, Abe. She needs and desires the love he can give her but shuns it under the guise of military fraternization policy. In the end, Angel makes a choice. Which man will it be?

The author of this book is sexist believing that women are only good for supporting and following the men in their lives and must work hard not to be a distraction to men. Puke.

Title: Firstborn Subtitle: A Novel Author: Lorie Ann Grover Narrator: Jorjeana Marie Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 19 mins Language: English Release date: 02-11-14 Publisher: Oasis Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Teens, Religion & Spirituality Publisher's Summary: Where does a firstborn girl fit in a world dominated by men? When Tiadone was born, her parents had two choices: leave their daughter outside the community to die in the wilds, or raise her as male and force her to suppress all feminine traits. Now, as the first female living as male in her village, Tiadone must prove her father didnt make a mistake by letting her live. As her male initiation approaches, Tiadone knows every eye on the community is on her, and desperately wishes to belong and finally be accepted. But at every step, traditional feminine gifts and traits emerge, and the bird shes been twined with is seen as a sign of evil. Worse, as Tiadone completes her rites, she finds she is drawn to her male best friend in ways that are very much in line with the female gender. Confused and desperate, Tiadone tries to become what she must be while dealing with what she indeed has become: a young woman who may be able to stand up to her despotic rulers and uncover her real purpose in life. Members Reviews: A Unique Fantasy Lorie Ann Grover has created a unique world in this sharp, compelling fantasy. The story is set in a male dominated society ruled by strict Madronian laws and dark rituals. Born female, Tiadone must live as a declared male if she wants to survive. Tiadone conditions herself to be a stoic, physically strong, reliable male. She trains to prove her worth doing border patrol with her life-long friend, Ratho, but love for Ratho tears away at her tough exterior. When Tiadone witnesses the evil at the very center of the authoritarian overlordâs (the Madronianâs) rituals. When her heart demands justice and freedom, sheâs forced to do the most courageous thing of all; live in the light of the truth. Or die in it. Firstborn gendercide revealed! This is the one of the best books I have read in a very long time. It addresses a very delicate subject of genercide! The killing of firstborn girls. It follows a firstborn girl that is declared as a male in order to save her life! Her journey is intriguing, brave and it is handled beautifully! Disappointing Great idea but poor execution. Felt like a first attempt that should have been fleshed out with more detail. Lacklustre characters and not enough explanation of the culture/setting. An excellent book missing spiritual reality Here we have a potentially very good book which has seemingly been ruined by the policies of a large traditional publisher. It is very sad. It happens over and over again. The cover is compellingâother than the fact that it shows a sexy woman in her twenties and the book is about a young girl (pre-teen) coming of age. It covers very well the indecent things forced upon a young woman to survive in a culture which kills firstborn girlsâand forces firstborn boys into harsh military service for the conquering evil at twelve years old or so. Of course, the characters act and react more like older teenagers or even young adults, but thatâs the normal confusion of current YA books. The conquering evil race serves a ridiculous god in typical despicable acts. They are all nasty except for one female. The girlâs race puts up with their servitude by denying their faith. Even her father, who is depicted as one of the last believers, recants his faith. It is a very intriguing premise.

Marjorie Mogonye's Judah's Shepherd King will capture the imaginations of listeners with the story of David - shepherd boy, warrior, and great king - in an exciting narrative form that provides biblical history from the Old Testament books of 1 and 2 Samuel. Judah's Shepherd King follows David from his lowly beginning as a shepherd on the hills surrounding Bethlehem to his ultimate triumph as king of Israel. On this perilous journey, David was a harpist for King Saul, a giant slayer, a warrior for the Israeli nation against the Philistines, an adulterer, a murderer, and finally, king. It's never too late to revisit the timeless story of David and hear of his mistakes, great strengths, and faith in the Lord. He was, most certainly, the Lord's Anointed One.

I would recommend this book to a friend with an older child, who wanted to teach him or her about life and choices. Who was your favorite character and why? I did not have a character that was a favorite. Have you listened to any of Felisha Caldeiras other performances before? How does this one compare? I have not listened to any of her previous work, but I enjoyed her voice, and the voices that she used for the characters. It was easy to imagine the story as it unfolded. Good story I listened to this with my kids. We loved it. My daughter wanted more! I'll be looking for more by this author. Fun story; great narration! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I would recommend this book to children, young teenagers, and their parents. It offers an interesting and imaginative story that engages history and identity. The book does have strong Christian overtones which could help Christian parents discuss the faith with their children. What about Felisha Caldeiras performance did you like? Felisha brings life to this story with her engaging voice. She is able to capture both the lighthearted moments of exploration and the deeper moments of self examination. All of this enables listeners to become truly immersed in the narrative. Any additional comments? This is an easily read book that could be especially engaging for young families. While the individual stories of each primary character can seem choppy at times, the overall narrative of the book holds them together. The narration, in particular, helps bring listeners into this story. Adventure filled with fantasy!! I enjoyed the lovely descriptions and the moral values presented throughout. I think this story would be great for YA.

Both traits come from her father, one-hit wonder Johnny Tray who found Jesus after losing his chart success two decades ago. When Grace encounters her own music break of a lifetime, the sudden dive into the "real world" puts her deeper beliefs to the test. Pop superstardom is just within reach but appears to require some spiritual compromise. Will Grace reject her faith, or will she own it? Grace Unplugged is based on the motion picture of the same name starring AJ Michalka (Super 8) and Kevin Pollak (A Few Good Men). Members Reviews: Four Stars Nice read they probably should have given Grace a better outlet for her other musical interests In the beginning Grace was a serious brat. I seriously cant believe she didnt know that actor was a set up. I also think her dad is a little harsh but he did have a point about the purpose of worship music. they probably should have given Grace a better outlet for her other musical interests. i also think part of the reason such had such a time was she was a little too sheltered. l liked the ending and that she and Quentin are engaged. I would definitely by other books by this author. A good read, worth the time Anyone who has teenagers wanting to make it in the pop culture or acting world should read this book! It is emotional, inspiring and gives hope to anyone with wandering children.. Grace unplugged This was a pretty good book. I must admit, I didn't really like Grace 's character in the beginning, but by the end, I did. Grace Unplugged I liked this book a lot because of that desire inside all of us to search for what we think is going to make us happy! And we realize that what it is that we search for is peace with GOD!! That peace , true peace, only comes from GOD!! And GOD doesn't leave us ever!! GOD loves us always, even before we come to him,even after we do come to him and mess up, he still loves us all !

But he is crucified on the cross and never gets the chance. Two thousand years later, a man enters the void of a godless era to bring salvation to the world. He has no money, owns no possessions, carries no title, and asks for nothing in return for his wondrous deeds. He vows a singular outcome to those who believe: eternity in heaven. For that, he is judged by the authorities to be a menace and a fraud. His sentence is persecution. Yet he does not appeal their unjust verdict nor submit to their extortion. Instead, he offers his life in ransom to liberate his believers. In the end, his words and his works are sent to die along with him. Then the Deliverer does something that forever changes the world. Songs of the Deliverer is a re-imagining of the Gospel stories of the Bible written for teens and young adults. The novel and the reflections on the Songs of the Deliverer website provide a perfect way for young people to learn more about Christ and the faith to which we are called. Members Reviews: Great narration I got this ARC via audiobook boom and this is my voluntary review. The narrator was excellent and the author used some of the better-known stories of the Bible to tell the stories in modern day times. The way the stories are told must be listened to with an open mind. You also must be rooted in your faith and the Bible. So if you don't know your Bible you need to go back to it and read each story.

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 19 votes Genres: Teens, Religion & Spirituality Publisher's Summary: Wren MacAvoy works as a coal miner for a domed city that was constructed in the mid-19th century to protect the royal blood line of England when astronomers spotted a comet on a collision course with Earth. Humanity would be saved by the most groundbreaking technology of the time. But after nearly 200 years of life beneath the dome, society has become complacent and the coal is running out. Plus, there are those who wonder: Is there life outside the dome? Or is the world still consumed by fire? When one of Wren's friends escapes the confines of the dome, he is burned alive and put on display as a warning to those seeking to disrupt the domes way of life. But Alexs final words are haunting. "The sky is blue." What happens next is a whirlwind of adventure, romance, conspiracy, and the struggle to stay alive in a world where nothing is as it seems. Wren unwittingly becomes a catalyst for a revolution that destroys the dome and the only way to survive might be to embrace what the entire society has feared their entire existence. Members Reviews: Fun story, kept my interest. Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? This is the first Steampunk book I have listened to. It was an enjoyable little story, and it kept my interest, but it isn't one of my favorites. I would recommend it for a younger crowd, pre-teen and teen. Would you recommend Ashes of Twilight to your friends? Why or why not? I would recommend it for the teens because it was a fun adventure, had a little romance, some action, and the lead characters continued to make the right choices despite the fact that they were not always the easiest choices What does Nicola Barber bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? I enjoyed listening to the narrator's voice and the different character voices Was Ashes of Twilight worth the listening time? I think teens would enjoy it more than I did, however I did like it enough to listen to the rest of the series. Loved this. Wren lives with her grandfather, in a community of coal miners. Her job is to lead the pony carts that transport the coal from the mine, coal that is used to keep the exhaust and intake fans running so that the dome has air that isn't full of choking smog. But the coal is running out, and a message from a friend - The sky is blue - has sparked a revolution. People want out. But the ruling class doesn't want them to leave. The characters in Ashes of Twilight are beautifully drawn, their world rich and atmospheric, and their interactions with the animals that share their fate, is sweet. I've really enjoyed this book, and have started the next one, Shadows of Glass. Nicola Barber's beautiful narration really adds to the cinematic experience. (My only caveat is the cockney accent she uses for Wren sometimes sounds overdone. It didn't detract at all from my enjoyment of the book, however.) I generally avoid YA, but every now and then I find one like this, that transcends the usual drill. Yes the characters are 17 and 18 years old, but the story is so well done, the world so vivid, that it should appeal to anyone who enjoys a good story. I was instantly drawn into the atmosphere of the world under the Dome and loved every minute of it. Highly recommended. Pretty entertaining story Any additional comments? I thought the story was creative but lacked some depth.

Title: New York Debut Subtitle: Carter House Girls, Book 6 Author: Melody Carlson Narrator: Tavia Gilbert Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 42 mins Language: English Release date: 04-13-12 Publisher: Zondervan Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Teens, Religion & Spirituality Publisher's Summary: Mix six teenage girls and one 60s fashion icon (retired, of course) in an old Victorian-era boardinghome. Add boys and dating, a little high-school angst, and throw in a Kate Spade bag or two....and youve got The Carter House Girls, Melody Carlsons chick lit series for young adults! The new year promises to be lively for the Carter House girls. As soon as the calendar page turns, the girls are forced to confront a whole load of difficulties. There is constant pressure from Mrs. Carter as the household prepares to participate in the high-stakes Spring Fashion Week in New York City. Competition flares from all directions as the girls vie for top billing, premium outfits, and attention from favorite guys. Stresses mount and some personal challenges grow into serious problems. Will the girls survive the big-city experience and the even bigger trials that come along with it? Members Reviews: high school books Melody Carlson is a superb author for teen issues and for being a good book and series for high school and junior high students. More escapades of the Carter House girls Book 6 in the Carter House Girls series picks up as DJ is being picked up from the airport on her return from Las Vegas (see my review of book 5, Lost in Las Vegas). Taylor is noticeably absent and DJ has to share with her grandmother that she is at a rehab facility in California for alcohol abuse. Grandmother is upset and disappointed because she is afraid that Taylor won't make it back in time for Fashion Week in NYC. As school starts up again after New Years, DJ, Rhiannon and Casey begin to notice that Kriti seems to be eating less and working out more. They do an intervention and Kriti confesses that Eliza has been influencing her to lose weight. They convince her she doesn't need to and move her in with DJ - away from Eliza. Grandmother begins having classes on Saturday mornings to teach the girls about etiquette, manners and how to "own" the cat walk. She opens these up to the community and the Carter House girls find themselves spending time with Daisy, a new friend, and Madison and Tina, two old enemies. I had only read book 5 prior to this book (other books in the series include Mixed Bags, Stealing Bradford, Homecoming Queen, and Viva Vermont). Again, it was hard to differentiate all the girls at first, and I would not have had a clue had I not read Lost in Las Vegas. I don't think it reads well as a stand alone. That being said, it does have good lessons and values for a teenage Christian girl to follow and illustrates how one can turn to God in all sorts of situations. I hope to eventually be able to go back and read the first 4 books in this series. Bikini Breakdown is book 7 of this series and it is due out in October 2009. Enter the world of fashion It's time for another adventure with the Carter Girls and this is time we get to visit New York City and discover the fashion world. This book is perfect for those who watch shows like America's Top Model or Project Runaway as the reader is taken behind the scenes of fashion shows and runway models. Since the story is from DJ's perspective, she's not really interested in this subject which I totally can relate with her.

Author: Shelley Hitz, Heather Hart Narrator: Connie Ventress Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 19 mins Language: English Release date: 02-21-13 Publisher: Body and Soul Publishing Genres: Teens, Religion & Spirituality Publisher's Summary: Our lives are ruled by habits. We are defined by them. How our days play out, how we act and react, and even how we eat, sleep, and talk are all affected by our habits - for better or for worse. Twenty-one days to a new habit... It's said that it takes 21 days to form a new habit or break an old one, so why not spend the next 21 days forming a habit of spending time with God? If you've got 21 days, we've got 21 devotions specifically written for today's teen girls. Are you up for forming a habit of spending time with your Creator? If so, download this audiobook and get started on these devotionals! Members Reviews: Fortunately, my daughter would not know what those are ... This book is not appropriate for my 15 year old daughter. Though there is some godly instruction and wise advice, this book seems geared to girls who are already familiar with the worldly side of life. In the chapter on purity, the author talks about oral sex, anal sex and mutual masturbation as being forbidden under the definition of sexual immorality. Fortunately, my daughter would not know what those are but I don't want her being introduced to it in a daily devotional book or at this time in her life. This material may be necessary to address with some girls but I think in a book where the buyer knows what they are getting. Also, cliques(not clicks) is the correct spelling for groups that form and separate themselves from others. eviews: Teen Devotionals.. for Girls, One and Two This teen girl devotional is an amazing book full of wonderful scriptures for young girls to dive into for their own daily time with the Lord. I was amazed actually when opening this book for teen girls. Why you may ask. Well let me just say this. I have went thru some very awesome devotionals growing up. And I still look for devotionals that speak to my heart. So needless to say I want to be able to give young ladies in my life a heads up on this type of books. We want, as Christian Mothers, to give our daughters a special time to learn how to study and have their own time with the Lord and His Word. Well this is a must to have on hand for birthdays, Christmas, graduations, prayer daughters, etc. for all the girls in our life's. I totally recommend this first and the second Devotionals. Yes, Loved this one so much that I also checked out the Volume 2. Keep reading and you will see the next one as well. So for the reasons above I will be giving this book (and if I had a higher one I would give more) my Breath Of Life Rating of: Five Clock Rating!! Disclosure: I did receive the above book in exchange for my honest opinion and or review. But the Opinions are my own and yours may differ. Not for Girls Only! Shelley Hitz and Heather Hart are women with hearts for God! I have never read a book written by either of them in which the Spirit was not present and armed for guidance. "21 Teen Devotionals...for Girls" is just one more of the their collaborative writings that exceeded my expectations. The devotional addresses the need for beauty in young girls and the pressure by society to concentrate only on the physical. Shelley and Heather provide comments, examples, reflection time, supporting Scripture, and prayer guidance to guide the reader to a deeper understanding of God's love for who we are spiritually rather than directing His attention to our physical being.

Title: Secret Survivors Subtitle: Real-Life Stories to Give You Hope for Healing Author: Megan Hutchinson, Jen Howver Narrator: Cynthia Bauman Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 41 mins Language: English Release date: 06-01-10 Publisher: Zondervan Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Teens, Religion & Spirituality Publisher's Summary: Everyone has secrets. Some you might whisper into a friends ear, while others may stay locked inside you for yearsmaybe even forever. Its those secrets that you tuck away that eventually control you. You may think youre okay, but really, your secrets can be tearing you apart from the inside out. Secret Survivors tells the compelling, true stories of people who have lived through painful secretsthings that they kept to themselves until they could no longer bear the pain alone. As you read their stories, youll be drawn into their journeys towards healing, and youll understand why its so important to share your secret with someone else in order to start your own healing process. Read the stories of people, who as teens and young adults, dealt with issues like: You may find a story that sounds similar to your own secret pain, or you may learn more about secrets that a friend or family member is dealing with. Whether your own story is represented in these pages or not, youll feel a connection to the people in these stories, because we all have some kind of pain tucked away. But you dont have to feel alone in your pain anymore. After you read the stories of these survivors, youll find the strength you need to share your own secret and start healing your heart and soul. Members Reviews: Secret Survivors: Hopeful Title: Secret Survivors: Real-life Stories to Give You Hope for Healing by Jen Howver and Megan Hutchinson. Pages: 160. Time spent on the "to read" shelf: None. Days spent reading it: 3 days. Why I read it: I know our youth are sometimes going through really difficult struggles. I thought this book might be a good resource to make available to them. Brief review: Secret Survivors is a powerful book that talks about the secrets that we hold inside that are tearing us apart. It is told by different "survivors" of some very traumatic secrets. Issues such as cutting, incest, rape, pornography, eating disorders, and abortion are amongst the topics that are talked about. What I liked about this book is the broad range of topics that are talked about. Each topic is talked about through the words of a survivor. Additionally at the end of each chapter are reflection questions that are applicable for any reader (not just those who have been through that particular secret). This was very helpful in thinking through the issues that the book talks about, and truly bringing healing to hurt and damaged souls. I cannot even imagine living through some of the issues that are covered in this book. Some made my heart feel like it was breaking right there as I was reading. The book encourages the reader to write out their own survival story from whatever secret is destroying them. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who has ANY emotional, physical, or spiritual baggage in their past. Healing is possible, and this book helps you take the first steps. I would also recommend this book to anyone who works with youth (or adults even) who may be dealing with these kinds of issues. I gained a lot of insight into some worlds that I have never delved into before. Overall a worthwhile book to read for me. Favorite quote: "The reality is that our secrets eat away at us. Secrets break us down emotionally, physically, spiritually, and relationally.

Of All the Ways He Loves Me Audiobook by Suzanne D. Williams

Williams Narrator: Julia Thomas Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 37 mins Language: English Release date: 08-16-13 Publisher: Suzanne D. Williams Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Teens, Religion & Spirituality Publisher's Summary: Nadia Asbury knows everything about Paterson Radovich, his likes and dislikes, what viruses and injuries he's had, and every Christmas present he's received since they were 10. He is, after all, her best friend. When he asks her on a date though, she wonders if she knows him at all. She's not familiar with his new, romantic side and frightened of what might happen to their long-standing friendship. What if after all his efforts, she doesn't feel anything? Scarier still, what if she does? Members Reviews: Aww...Such a Cute Love Story! I enjoyed reading "Of All The Ways He Loves Me". This book is about a girl named Nadia Asbury who is best friends with Paterson Radovich. Paterson begins developing feelings for Nadia, but Nadia is scared to fall in love. She thinks if she doesn't like him, she'll lose him as a friend. Will Nadia take this leap of faith and date Paterson or keep him as a friend? The novel was sooo sweet. I love the advice given by Penny (wish she was my friend!) & Mrs. Evers. For example "You can't not love someone once you do, especially when they're trying so hard to love you back.", "He loves me for me, and I love him for him...", and "And I also know how to keep it going. It's all the little things that count. Big words and fancy moves are fine.". All these quotes are very true and can be (I believe) used in real life. I love the way she incorporated (mini) advice in to a novel. Mrs. Suzanne D. Williams did an INCREDIBLE job writing this novel. I just wished it was longer because all of a sudden it ended; it was abrupt. Otherwise I really don't have any complaints. I'm really glad she went in the future to kind of tie everything together. I plan on reading more from Mrs. Suzanne D. Williams! Great book! Couldn't put it down. I started this book a couple of nights ago, but only made it to 15% before being interrupted. I'm a busy mom. Anyway, my daughter woke at 4a.m. this morning and after I got her back to sleep, I picked up my Kindle and read the last 85%. I'm not a big romance reader, but I think that's because the couple times I've read romance in my past, it wasn't realistic or it was too dirty. This book reminded me of watching "Dawson's Creek" but it was quite clean. It has a mild Christian theme but nothing so preachy that would turn a non-Christian off. Nadia and Paterson go through the same thing that a lot of friends do. This is a light and fun read that is funny in places. It has a happy ending, which I like. In this day and time when television and books are so full of filth, it's nice to see that there are still people who write and appreciate the innocence and purity young relationships should have. And thank goodness there were no references such as "eye candy" and the typical "butterflies in my stomach." I'm so glad this was the first book I read by this author. I'm now an official fan. Safe, cute, and positive Suzanne Williams delivers another positive teen romance free of the bad language and crudeness seen in so many teen novels.

Theyre quirky! Theyre Sweet Seasons - unlike any other girls books youve ever read. You could call them alternative, God-honoring chick lit. Join Candace Thompson on a sweet, lighthearted, and honest romp through the friendships, romances, family, school, faith, and values that make a girls life as full as it can be. Seasons change, and so will life for at least one park employee. Christmas is coming! An elf outfit and the minty scent of what seems like a gatrillion candy canes arent the only adjustments for Candace. Her biggest worry - what to get her boyfriend for Christmas - turns into a much larger project after Candace is reminded that real needs can be hiding right around the corner. Can this elf capture the true meaning of Christmas in time to make a difference? Members Reviews: Good winter zone It was good to see the characters at Christmas. Candace can be a bit irritating at times as everything she does is great/amazing but that is the curve of her story arc. She is becoming more able and confident. It should be obvious where her relationship status is going and I assume that will be addressed. Read it if you are enjoying the series. Glad to have book 1 narrator back!

However, she finds herself tagging along with her brother and his friends in a quest to find a criminal known as the Beast. The quest turns out very differently than any of them imagined. A story of faith, redemption, and happily-ever-after. Members Reviews: Short, sweet, and to the point This audiobook had a great narrator, but also a wonderful storyline. I loved the twist on the Beauty and the Beast fairytale. It was creative and unique. It did touch on some fairly mature content, so if you are younger than 13, please get your parents to listen to/read it first.

She's then sent to Teen Life - a Christian camp for teens struggling with their faith. But, she really doesn't know if the camp's actually working for her. Ezekiel Abraham is a survivor of Hodgkins Lymphoma. Not only did he have to go through with the disease, his faith was tested, too. Now, he's back in Teen Life Christian Camp, and there he meets Reese: the girl who's so broken, so intriguing, and so lost that he couldn't help but be determined to show her what she's been missing all along. When Ezekiel and Reese's paths meet, they get to understand that life's not really what it seems - and that something out there is bigger and more powerful than anything else combined. A heartfelt story that will make you believe in love, and strengthen your faith all over again, Love Always Wins is definitely something you'd want to listen to right now!

But her world is suddenly knocked off center when her drool-worthy boyfriend cheats, and her always-has-it-together mother is diagnosed with cancer. Ellie doesn't get it. She always does the right thing - doesn't God owe her a happy life? Through her heartache, Ellie learns that sometimes what seems like the end is really just the beginning and that what God has for us is always worth the wait. Members Reviews: God's timing is worth the wait Ellie Lansing has the "perfect" life. She's popular, pretty, and has an amazing boyfriend, and even a family that supports her. That is, until her world seems to come crashing down around her. As a twenty year old book worm, I'd like to think I've seen much of what teen fiction has to offer. I was presently surprised to see what a truly unique and special book this turned out to be. There's not many Christian YA books out there that can truly captivate high school life while dealing with life lessons from God. Many young girls have to deal with tragic break ups in high school and while it may not all be that surprising, each individual relationship is different and Ellie and Dylan's are unique in the sense that they've ALWAYS been together. When Dylan leaves Ellie heartbroken she has no choice but to pick up the shattered pieces of her heart. Not to mention her mom's recent diagnosis of breast cancer. Ellie has to find a way to figure out God's plan for her life and who she's meant to be before she can chose to love any man...even one worth waiting for. A Cute Romance for Teen Girls Who doesn't love a story where the hero is the nice guy rather than the cocky boy? Josh made for a great hero for sweet Ellie. My favorite thing about him is that he calls her "Lansing" (her last name). It's just so cute. The story is a good one for girls who have everything planned out then life turns out very different. Like dumping out the pieces of a puzzle, Ellie has to sort everything out and put it back together. I liked the story, but it's definitely a book for a Christian audience. It is a bit edgier than a lot of Christian fiction, especially with characters at Ellie's Christian school that aren't as "perfect" as many Christian kids are painted. However, I found Ellie fit a little too neatly into the "ideal" for "good Christian girls". She's the pretty cheerleader who is happiest when playing with kids on a mission trip. The kind of the stereotypical good girl who will one day have a handsome husband, 2.5 kids, a dog, and a home straight from Pinterest. This made her a bit hard for me to relate to. As a teen, I wouldn't have liked her. As an adult, I appreciate her because she is relatable to a lot of girls; she just doesn't happen to be much like me. Worth the Read Laura Jackson's debut novel hits the mark for teen romance. Ellie and Dylan have grown up together. Their mothers are best friends, so it seems only natural for them to fall in love and head off to college together and eventually get married. They are the quintessential high school sweethearts--Dylan the quarterback and Ellie the cheerleader. But when Ellie returns from summer vacation before her senior year, she senses a change in Dylan.

Chancing it, she writes to him and then deciding to risk it all she packs up her things and heads out west on a wagon train. She is suddenly wrenched away from the path that God has chosen for her when, one evening, her life takes a violent U-turn. Members Reviews: really badly read I hate to gripe because it was so cheap to order, but probably the narrator was a volunteer or the authors grandson. it actually could have been an interesting story, but the poor man rushed through it and sounded just as bored as I felt listening to it.

But now their love will be put to its highest test yet, as they defy Heavenly law and marry. They dont tell Beths archangel siblings, Gabriel and Ivy, but the angels know soon enough, and punishment comes in a terrifying form: the Sevens, who are rogue angels bent on keeping Beth and Xavier apart, destroying Gabriel and Ivy, and darkening angelic power in the heavens. The only way Bethany and Xavier can elude the Sevens is to hide in the open, and blend in with other mortals their own age. Gabriel and Ivy set them up at college, where they cant reveal their relationship, and where there is still danger around each corner. Will Bethany be called back to Heaven - forever - and face leaving the love of her life? Members Reviews: Great End to Great Books This was a fitting end to the books,Heaven starts a bit slow, but stick with it as you will not be dissapointed with the end. Heaven is missing an Angel! Heaven starts where Hades left off - with Xavier proposing to Bethany. I fell in love with Halo and thought Hades was fantastic so I wanted a fantastic ending to a fantastic series but it just left me disappointed! Her writing style in this book was unlike the other two (unfortunately). It was rushed at times and could have done with more depth! ****SPOILER ALERT**** The ending - perfect but again - rushed! Beth is in Heaven for 2 years and it's cramped into a few chapters? Adornetto left so many questions unanswered!

Letters to Ethan: A Grandfather's Legacy of Life & Love is a collection of letters written to the author's grandson on a variety of topics ranging from the spiritual (Faith and Miracles) to the mundane (such as dealing with greed, drugs and alcohol). Written with the intention of giving Ethan some insights on living a purposeful and fulfilling life, this audiobook is filled with love and compassion which cross the generations. Members Reviews: How Parents and Grandparents can impart wisdom to their children and grandchildren This is one of the best books I have ever read. Because these are letters written from a grandfather to his grandson, they cover different topics from one life's purpose to faith to marriage,death etc. The author, Tom McQueen would like all parents and grandparents to write letters to their children and grandchildren in order to provide them with their experiences and wisdom. This book is full of wisdom and something that all parents and grandparents should own and share with their children. Grandmother's gift too I bought this book to give to my grandson because his name's Ethan too. I, of course, read it first to be sure I still wanted to do that. Tom McQueen does give some very good advice in a style a teenage boy might even read. We'll see. I do plan to give it to my grandson for his confirmation and I hope this very Roman Catholic grandfather's words are meaningful to a young, newly confirmed Methodist kid. I'm trusting God to make that work. very good info This is a very good book - assuming you still believe in God and are a Christian. Obviously most Americans will not like this book as it is not progressive in nature. It assumes one is inclined to have personal responsiblitiy, integrity and ethics. I hope to instill some of the chapters lessons to my Grandson. Lessons of Love Letters to Ethan: A Grandfather's Legacy of Life & Love This was written by a personal friend of mine who has a deep love for his grandson. He often spends much time with him. Truly a heartwarming book for any mother, father, grandma or grandpa to have on their reading list Life experience shared with the next generation I have three children ages 20,16 and 13. All the lessons discussed were common sense and appropriate. I would sincerely recommend the book for anyone who has kids or grand kids. I started using post-its to remind my self to go back to a section, that it was a good point to use with my kids. I ran out of post-its before I finished the book!!!!

Marshall Narrator: Felicia Hom Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 56 mins Language: English Release date: 09-25-14 Publisher: Laura J. Marshall Genres: Teens, Religion & Spirituality Publisher's Summary: This is the last week in Staci Schofield's life. Her birthday is on Monday, which is also the day she plans to die. Poetic, seeing as her mother disappeared on the night of her own birthday. But when a popular guy from school, Rush, befriends Staci, will her plans change? Rush sees demons clinging to Staci and nothing has worked so far to help her. What will make a difference in her life? A friend, an intercessor? How do you help someone move from take my life to Lord, preserve me? Enclosed devotionals by Karen Michelle Ricci. Members Reviews: One of the best YA Fiction books on the subject of suicide This novella reads very fast, and I highly recommend it to teens and even parents. There are aspects of depression and suicide that Ms. Marshall brings up which are extremely important and hardly discussed in health classes or youth groups. I commend Ms. Marshall for her fearless prose and delicate approach. This was a fabulous book. Unique theme This was an excellent read that drew me in from the first chapter. The story line was realistic, but edgy because the topic isn't one that is normally done in a book. I definitely look forward to reading more of her books. I highly recommend it. All the Angels Stood I pass by this book so many times, because it was a novella. When I noticed that Amazon was offering it for free I decided to take a chance on it; oh boy I was pleasantly surprised. This was truly a wonderful story and I wish it could have been a full length novel. Laura, please bring Rush and Staci back in a full length novel. All The Angels Stood I am not a teen, but really enjoyed this book as it brought back memories of high school and the difficulties that can come with that time of life. I love that the popular kid is a Christian and helps the young lady who is so indecisive of life... then falls in love with her! Nice ! Beautifully written I read this aloud with my husband and absolutely loved it! And I'm not ashamed to say that I cried during certain parts. It shows the importance of opening your heart to The Lord and also how important it is to help people around you. It was a quick read but 100% worth it!

Title: Solitary Witch Subtitle: The Ultimate Book of Shadows for the New Generation Author: Silver RavenWolf Narrator: Pam Ward Format: Unabridged Length: 34 hrs and 32 mins Language: English Release date: 06-23-15 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 91 votes Genres: Teens, Religion & Spirituality Publisher's Summary: Solitary Witch is the ultimate Book of Shadows for today's new witches. Definitely not meant for instawitches, this audiobook will give you a thorough understanding of the history and development of magick in the Western world, the evolution of Wicca as a religion, the theory and practice of both ritual and folk magick, and the spiritual depth of the craft. This audiobook is like a grimoire from days gone by. Laden with useful information throughout, it's up to you to decide how to use it. Solitary Witch will serve as an encyclopedia of magickal information for any witch as long as your mind is open, your heart is true, and your will is strong. Members Reviews: Good info, though not ideal for an audiobook I'll start out by saying that this is an encyclopedic type reference book, as opposed to a chaptered nonfiction book. So while the information provided is interesting, it wouldn't necessarily be something you sit down and read start to finish. The topics are alphabetized, which is great while flipping through a reference book for your desired topic, but it seems disjointed while listening to the audio version of the book. The author states in the foreword that it is geared towards beginners so I'm not sure why the other reviewers seemed surprised by that or felt that it's condescending, though it could be another result of it being an encyclopedic book. All in all I would pass on this book in audio form, but definitely look for it as a physical book to reference as needed. The author noted several other beginner witchcraft books and I think I'll be looking into those as audiobooks instead of continuing on with this one. loved it! full of great information! I must for anyone seeking this path in this religion or just for studies. for me a bit childish this is the first book I have listened/read by this author. I felt that it was directed to a very very young person. I think if I were I the 11-14 year old range I may have connected. love it so much, it was great, can't wait to read, I learn something new everyday. I started reading silver raven wolf when I was young good I love this book even though the book it self is for reference listening to it gives you a good foundation on where to look and what to expect... I do own a physical copy of this book and I recommend that as well

Title: Deliver Me from Negative Self-Talk Subtitle: Faithful Words You Should Say When You Talk to Yourself Author: Lynn R Davis Narrator: Susan Koch Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 43 mins Language: English Release date: 09-02-14 Publisher: Lynn Davis Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 87 votes Genres: Teens, Religion & Spirituality Publisher's Summary: Admit it, you talk to yourself. We all do, without even thinking about it. And that's the problem, when we're upset we're rarely thinking positive when we talk to ourselves. So much of what we say to ourselves is negative, hurtful, and damaging which ultimately prevents us from living the blessed and successful life God has planned for us. Scripture is clear, "life and death is in the power of the tongue". The power to take control of our lives is in our mouth. By learning how to talk to yourself in a faithful way, you will begin to change your life an improve relationships, gaining greater success and happiness. If you want to feel good and accomplish more in life, listen to this audiobook. It will help you stop the negative self-talk that is holding you back. You will experience blessings and victory over fear, bad habits, addictions, negative emotions, sickness, relationships self-esteem, weight-loss, and so much more. This audiobook series is an investment in your spiritual growth and success. And as one reviewer put it, "It works!" This is a unique book that contains daily devotionals and sample negative self-talk guides as well as positive self-talk examples. All scriptural-based phrases will help you declare life instead of speaking negatively (death) over yourself and the ones you love. Learn what you should say when you talk to yourself as well as what to say about others. Speak powerful faith-filled words. Speak life! Members Reviews: Valuable for developing Biblical thought patterns This is a powerful book for anyone suffering from depression, anxiety, anger, or other negative thought patterns that are influencing your life and relationships. Lynn Davis approaches various negative thought patterns from the perspective of not only why they are wrong, but what Bible verses or Bible-centered concepts they can be replaced with. All of this is beautifully narrated by Susan Koch. This is a short, but deep and concept-rich book that will lead you to not only examine your thought life and recognize thought patterns that are defeating you, but will also give you the tools with which to fight those thoughts. I listened to this book in one sitting, but I will listen to it again on a regular basis to help me overcome unncessary thought clutter and replace it with God's Word. This was an inexpensive book that will bring great blessings to those who take it seriously. I did, and I'm already reaping rewards. great listen loved it. very relaxing and good talking points. makes good sense. positive alternatives given. Awesome. as much negative as positive the good content is great, but for whatever reason the author has decided to add the negative alternative.... so by the time you are done listening yoy Will hear the equal amount of the NEGATIVE option... I definitely don't recommend feeding yourself with ALL of what you SHOULDNT say... ...not for me. Deliverance from myself Thanks book gave great examples of words to use in combatting negativity both from your own mouth and mind. Deliver me from. negative self talk I'm impressed with any book that includes scriptures for self study and reflection. Thank you for sharing this with the world.

While the heroic Cedric travels as ambassador, he sees that every corner of Arrethtrae reaps the benefits of prosperity brought to the land by the Prince's reign.

Title: Eye of the Oracle Subtitle: Oracles of Fire Author: Bryan Davis Narrator: Peter Sandon Format: Unabridged Length: 19 hrs and 36 mins Language: English Release date: 10-06-08 Publisher: Oasis Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 72 votes Genres: Teens, Religion & Spirituality Publisher's Summary: With heart-stopping fantasy action and clear spiritual insights, Eye of the Oracle will captivate young and old alike, and it will challenge every listener to search deep within for answers to the mysteries in their own hearts. Members Reviews: I loved it! At first I was a little apprehensive that the series was going to be simplistic and juvenille, but how wrong I was. Eye of the Oracle was very well written with good character development and an absolutely vast scope. The reader has a rich voice which really added a lot of feeling to the book. My only issue is that the ending was extremely compressed which felt forced (I think it is actually expanded on in the rest of the series). Overall a very worthwhile read, I can't wait for the rest of the series. Entertaining and uplifting What did you like about this audiobook? This story is inspiring and faith promoting. The author integrates some Biblical references,but the book is by no means preachy. What sets it apart is how well the story catches interest without unnecessary sensationalism. It is clean enough to give to my kids and mature enough to keep me involved. The only reason I gave the story 4 stars is that the end was rushed in one part so much that I had to listen to that part 4 times to grasp everything. I'm almost done with the next book, and in retrospect it was just an awkward lead in to the sequels. Overall, I loved it and would recommend it to anyone. Delightful! Any additional comments? I haven't finished the book yet,I'm about 2/3 of the way through, but since there are so few reviews posted, I thought I'd review it now. Hopefully, it will encourage someone to buy it. First of all, it is a Christian book, but it manages to not fall into to the trap of so many Christian works of coming off stiff and preachy. It reminds me of C S Lewis' work, Perelandra. Like Lewis' Space Trilogy,(Out of the Silent Planet, Perelandra and That Hideous Strength) it takes biblical themes and adds them to a fantasy story that is both entertaining and inspiring. Granted, it is not as deep as those works, but it does have the same effect of bringing one into reflections on the work of redemption which is the core of the Christian belief system. I find the personalities of the characters appealing and very well developed. The story is well thought out and sufficiently complex to keep one captive. I especially like the way that King Arthur and Merlin are brought into the story.I'm looking forward to the other books in the series. My only complaint is that some of the later books seem to be a bit too short. I like long books to maximize my credits. After Sanderson and Jordan, 11 or 12 hours seems a short story. So Good!!! One of the best books of all of audible! I also recommend Raising Dragons, The candlestone, Circles of seven and tears of a dragon. I am sure that the rest will be just as good. Thank you Audible!! Dragons and Christianity can it be? I've always loved books about dragons mythology, hobbits etc. This book makes me so much happier to hear and read fantasy with perspective of belief in The Almighty. Wish all Bryan Davis' books were audible with this particular narrator. His voice is (I can't think of the best word) but astounding for storytelling.

Title: In the Hall of the Dragon King Subtitle: Dragon King Trilogy, Book 1 Author: Stephen R. Lawhead Narrator: Tim Gregory Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 5 mins Language: English Release date: 05-31-11 Publisher: Oasis Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 231 votes Genres: Teens, Religion & Spirituality Publisher's Summary: A kingdom hangs in the balance as Quentin begins his quest. Carrying a sealed message from the Dragon King, Quentin and his outlaw companion, Theido, plunge headlong into a fantastic odyssey that leads them throughout Mensandor. Danger lurks at every turn: from the brutal terrain to deadly encounters with both humans and creatures of unknown origins. As their quest progresses, Prince Jaspin schemes to secure the crown for himself, and an evil sorcerer concocts a monstrous plan for power. In an effort to save the kingdom and fulfill his destiny, Quentin must travel through strange lands filled with brave knights, striking maidens, a mysterious hermit, and a gigantic deadly serpent. And then, his true journey is only just beginning. Brimming with adventure, battles, and danger, Stephen R. Lawheads timeless epic will satisfy listeners of all ages. Members Reviews: A masterful epic! In the Hall of the Dragon King is a masterful epic, Stephen R. Lawhead tells the story of Quentin, a young acolyte who delivers a message to the Queen of Mensandor, at the bequest of the Dragon King. It is a masterful epic, narrated brilliantly by Tim Gregory, full of dark magic, serpents, great heroes, beautiful maidens, a mysterious hermit named Durwin and a wonderful cast of fantastical characters. A great read and listen. Entertaining I like most works by Lawhead and this was was entertaining. Not as good as the Pendragon series, but still entertaining. Had a flowery old english style which isn't my favorite - a little too pomp for me. This would be a good book for kids, not too stressful, move a long, and has decent action. IT WAS NOT A FACE TO BE ADMIRED I could not get into this book, it seemed a little sophomoric to me. It is aimed at teens, but that is no reason to excuse the bad writing. This type of writing is what turns kids off to books. Narrator was fairly droll. the best story of long ago times I have read and listened to this numerous times. it is written in a lost art of speech which is like poetry. Bravo! for writer and narrator. Narrative of Serendipity and Honor Lawhead's story encapsulates everything needed for good fantasy and he does so in a character driven story. Each person is developed over the chapters to their own conclusions and each decision is easy to understand in character. The use of the divine Most High creates an undertone of hope fighting to live against trouble and external resistance. The use of God Himself as a directly and indirectly intervening character, through vision and happenstance, respectively, gives the story a bigger feeling. It makes this one kingdom's struggle part of a bigger world.

Title: The Noble Servant Author: Melanie Dickerson Narrator: Jude Mason Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 54 mins Language: English Release date: 05-09-17 Publisher: Thomas Nelson Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 50 votes Genres: Teens, Religion & Spirituality Publisher's Summary: She lost everything to the scheme of an evil servant. But she might just gain what she's always wanted... if she makes it in time. The impossible was happening. She, Magdalen of Mallin, was to marry the Duke of Wolfberg. Magdalen had dreamed about receiving a proposal ever since she met the duke two years ago. Such a marriage was the only way she could save her people from starvation. But why would a handsome, wealthy duke want to marry her, a poor baron's daughter? It seemed too good to be true. On the journey to Wolfberg Castle, Magdalen's servant forces her to trade places and become her servant, threatening not only Magdalen's life but the lives of those she holds dear. Stripped of her identity and title in Wolfberg, where no one knows her, Magdalen is sentenced to tend geese while she watches her former handmaiden gain all Magdalen had ever dreamed of. When a handsome shepherd befriends her, Magdalen begins to suspect he carries secrets of his own. Together, Magdalen and the shepherd uncover a sinister plot against Wolfberg and the duke. But with no resources, will they be able to find the answers, the hiding places, and the forces they need in time to save both Mallin and Wolfberg? New York Times best-selling author Melanie Dickerson beautifully reimagines "The Goose Girl" by the Brothers Grimm into a medieval tale of adventure, loss, and love. Members Reviews: Quite an Adventure! Very good story! The narrator did a wonderful job of making me feel all the emotion of the characters. This is a sit on the edge of your seat kind of book in many places. stunning can't ever help but to gasp and tear up during all of Melanie's stories.....absolutely love all of her books Repetitive I am a huge Melanie D fan but this one? Not my favorite. I felt like half the book was her refreshing everyone's mind over and over. As a binge reader, that took a lot of the fun out of the story. A clean action filled romance It's been a while since I enjoyed a nice clean romance as much. I would have given this story all five stars had it not been for the heavy religious take over of the book and constant quotes from the Bible which started halfway and continued non stop to the end. It's one thing to have a hint of religion in books but another to have it be completely saturated with it. I liked the narration as well especially since the speed at which she performed was perfectly suited to the length of the story. Mystery and romance
This was a good clean romance set back in time. Full of mystery and romance.

Title: This Changes Everything Subtitle: How the Gospel Transforms the Teen Years Author: Jaquelle Crowe Narrator: Susan Hanfield Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 38 mins Language: English Release date: 04-11-17 Publisher: christianaudio.com Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Teens, Religion & Spirituality Publisher's Summary: The teen years have been hijacked - by fashion, music, movies, and games; by the pressures of school, peers, and society; and by superficial expectations set by the world. But there is something more glorious than all these influences that has the power to change the life of a teenager: the gospel. Written by a teenager for teenagers, This Changes Everything is a deeply theological yet practical and accessible book on how the gospel radically transforms every aspect of the teen years, including pursuing relationships, managing time, combating personal sin, and cultivating healthy habits. In a culture awash with low expectations for young people, this book exhorts teenagers to embrace a gospel-centered perspective on their lives and pursue wholehearted devotion to Christ now. Members Reviews: Not just for teens Not just for teenagers. A very good book on the core issues of a Christian living. It is probably not for young teenagers. Personally, I found the reader's voice was annoying.

But five years have passed and they find a nightmarishly changed world. The despised Horde are now in control. The healing lakes of Elyon are now blood red. And mighty Thomas Hunter and his Forest Guard have disappeared. Then the world unravels further. Dive into a journey among the Horde whose sole mission is the destruction of the Circle. Come face-to-face with an enchantingly beautiful creature with unearthly powers - and questionable motives. Take a stand with the chosen but be wary, for all is not as it seems. Now the chosen themselves are questioning their very sanity. For the only way to win may be to lose. The only way to live may be to die. And the only one to lead may be a lunatic. Members Reviews: Still masterful, despite disappointing direction If you could sum up Lunatic in three words, what would they be? Unpredictable, interesting, smart What other book might you compare Lunatic to and why? Which character as performed by Tim Gregory was your favorite? Darsal Any additional comments? Great story. It certainly lives up to the rest of the series. I found myself yelling at the characters for being so easily beset, but in the process I realized that what upset me the most is how easily beset I have been. As usual with Ted Dekker, it's more than just a story! Great! starting to get a little strange with introduction of vampires controlling the chosen of God. okay not the best A little difficult to follow. a few too many switchbacks in the story line here not what I was expecting I am a huge fan of the Circle Trilogy books, but these (from the Lost Books series) are poorly thought out, jump around a lot, and have a s I was disappointed that it went to the "pop topic" Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? I was disappointed that it went to the "pop topic" of vampires. Seemed much darker and more evil than other books. However, the wrestling with (and sometimes loosing to) evil was well portrayed. Would you recommend Lunatic to your friends? Why or why not? If you like Dekker it is in the same vein as the others in the series. Just some darker twists. What does Tim Gregory bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Excellent read. Was Lunatic worth the listening time? yep

Bergren Narrator: Pam Turlow Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 44 mins Language: English Release date: 04-24-12 Publisher: Oasis Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 135 votes Genres: Teens, Religion & Spirituality Publisher's Summary: What if you not only fell back through time...but fell in love, too? Gabi knows shes left her heart in the fourteenth century, and she persuades Lia to help her to return, even though they know doing so will risk their very lives. When they arrive, months have passed, and all of Siena longs to celebrate the heroines who turned the tide in the battle against Florence - while their enemies will go to great lengths to see them dead. Even in the midst of the battles, Gabis heart is increasingly drawn to Marcello, just as Lias is to Luca. In medieval Italy, the sisters discover things inside themselves that they couldnt seem to find in the present - connection with their mom, courage within, and the understanding that a life well lived often means encountering sacrifice. But in a world long past, many things still keep Gabi from giving Marcello her heart forever. And one thing in particular calls all three of the Betarrinis home. Members Reviews: Simply marvelous! What made the experience of listening to Cascade the most enjoyable? I loved the intonation of the reader, making it so comfortable and drawing me into the book. What did you like best about this story? What I loved most about this book, is that it had me on the edge of my seat from the first chapter. It was a whirlwind of a book, as Gabi and Lia find themselves running from one adventure and into another. Gabi also went through a tremendous growth in her personality, and comes out on the other end for the better. In the mean time her mom has a few surprises for the girls, she's not all scientific but have stronger metal lying underneath. Marcello and Luka risk all to save the Gabi and Lia from an aweful fate, if I say anymore I'd give it all away. Let's say that with great sacrifice comes great love. The ending left me wanting for more, simply having to know what was going to happen. Definitely a great read, and I'd recommend it to anyone. It is clean and romantic, but nothing that tweens can't also enjoy, so family friendliness is a 5 in my book. You can feel comfortable reading this with your tween. Not a great as the first book. When I read the first book, Waterfall, I was thrilled with it and was excited to read this one. I cant say I enjoyed this one nearly as much. It seemed to drag on in places. The girls voices sound so immature for all their courage and experiences. Did they sound that way in the first book? I will have to listen again but I did notice it this time and it annoyed me to some degree. Im still interested in this series and Im courious as to how their adventures turn out even with these few negatives Ive noticed this time. I love this book now, on to last book I loved everything about this book. can't wait to start reading Torrent book #3 Absolutely wonderful! I love this series.I have listened to it over and over.The reader is great too and that plays a tremendous part! Not worth the time Would you try another book from Lisa T. Bergren and/or Pam Turlow? No, neither of them. Has Cascade turned you off from other books in this genre? No, I love YA, and Iove time travel books, this just isn't a good one. Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Pam Turlow? Someone who sounded more like a teenager. You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? The parts when they left out the over-the-top lovey dovey stuff wasn't too bad.

Title: Running Barefoot Author: Amy Harmon Narrator: Tavia Gilbert Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 49 mins Language: English Release date: 03-26-14 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 232 votes Genres: Teens, Religion & Spirituality Publisher's Summary: When Josie Jensen, an awkward 13-year-old musical prodigy, crashes headlong into newcomer Samuel Yazzie, an 18-year-old Navajo boy full of anger and confusion, an unlikely friendship blooms. Josie teaches Samuel about words, music, and friendship, and along the way finds a kindred spirit. Upon graduation, Samuel abandons the sleepy, small town in search of a future and a life, leaving his young mentor behind. Many years go by and Samuel returns, finding his old friend in need of the very things she offered him years before. Their roles reversed, Samuel teaches Josie about life, love, and letting go. Deeply romantic and poignant, Running Barefoot is the story of a small-town girl and a Native American boy, the ties that bind them to their homes and families, and the love that gives them wings. Members Reviews: Barefoot or Not--Run for this book I am a unabashed fan of Amy Harmon. She is smart, she writes beautiful stories, she is clever, she is creative, she writes so her readers learn stuff and she is an honorable writer. Running Barefoot is an early work of hers and I had read it a while ago. Listening to a good book adds a layer of depth and detail that one often misses when reading...this book is no exception. It's the lovely and powerful story of a young half-Navajo boy (who sure does grow up nicely) and his school bus seatmate, a 13 year old (going on 21) girl child who becomes his mentor between his Native American world and her Utah world. Their story evolves over several years as they both become the world to each other, then grow apart, experience tragedies and triumphs and find a place for themselves. Interwoven throughout this book is music and the impact classical music has on them as friends, individuals and musicians. I loved this book and will listen to it more than once. Tavia Gilbert does such a nice job with all the characters but is most impressive in her pronunciation of Navajo phrases. And that's where we learn...how powerfully moving the story of the Navajo nation is as well as the spirituality of the Native American. In my top ten favourite books I love this story. I love the characters, I love the author's voice. I love the themes that are woven perfectly through the story. And now I love the audio version just as much. The performance was just right.... Exactly how I heard the story in my head as I read it. I find this story deeply moving and recommend reading/listening to this at appropriate times. Or take tissues with you, either one! Another great book. The first Amy Harmon book I read was 'A Different Blue' which was so good I had to check out more. I love her writing style. Her books have this wonderful ebb and flow to them and they are so moving. The narration was top notch. Cute This was a cute book but not Amy's best. It was a bit predictable although I am glad I read it. Amy HARMON is amazing I love all of her books, so I'm going back and listening to ask of then on audio.

The giants will soon awaken and rise to conquer and destroy, and only dragons can defeat them. Since only two dragons remain on the earth, and one of them is reluctant to fight, doom seems certain. With Excalibur at his side, Walter plunges into an ancient world to find a mysterious ally who could help them save the world. Members Reviews: This is a great series by Bryan Davis. LOVE IT! Written by a 12 year old boy: "Enoch's Ghost" was a wonderful book filled with a bunch of excitement and a lot of action. This story's real message was really about which side to pick. The story starts off with Ashley, Karen, and Walter all riding on Thigocia's back. When they land on a mountain and are then intercepted by Arramos who asks Thigocia to come with him. When she doesn't comply, he grabs Karen and throws her off the mountain. He then threatens to throw more people if she doesn't come. When she says yes, he reveals to the humans a staircase that winds down. The teens go down and the dragons fly up and away. At the bottom they find Karen, a bunch of giants, (who work for Mardon and who are also trying to make a portal to heaven and hell) and a girl with white hair who says that Ashley's brother and sister are invisible and are following her. After they fight off the giants they find out that the girl's name is Sapphira and she really is who she says she is. Later, Ashley's brother Gabriel, who is a human with wings, and Roxil, who is a dragon, appear to them as well. Walter and Gabriel later find that the giants run on light. They also find out Mardon's plan and they together try to stop him, but a giant named Chazaq stops them and overpowers them. Karen tries to kill a different giant named Bagowd, but the giant kills her. To find out what happens next you will have to read it. Bryan Davis is a great writer and out of all the wonderful characters, I like Walter best. He always stands firm in his faith, he has the most awesome sword, and he trusts and has the trust of his friends. "Enoch's Ghost" is a wonderful book with lots of excitement and I enjoyed every bit and I am looking forward to reading "Last of the Nephilim." Would I/Did I buy it? YES, we own the whole series Would I read it again? Yes Would I recommend it to friends? YES Enoch's Ghost This book was wonderful! It was so exciting, and I loved it. I read it in four days. I didn't take it to school because if I did, I probably would read through class and not be able to pay attention. I had to be sure to save it for after school when I had more time. Although in this book, Billy only appears in this story in a scene where he is talking to Walter on his cell phone, the plots and descriptions make it so you can hardly miss Billy and Bonnie! I really like both the new and old main characters in Enoch's Ghost, and I really enjoyed the descriptions of Heaven's Altar and of Heaven. In addition to Walter, Ashley, and Karen, Sapphira, Acacia (the oracles of fire), and Elam are among others who appear once again in Enoch's Ghost. In Enoch's Ghost, Mardon tries to make a new tower like Nimrod's, but with this one he hopes to join Earth and Heaven.

Subtitle: A Young Adult's Practical, Spiritual, and Somewhat Unusual Guide to Finding God's Will Author: Hannah Duggan Narrator: Jae Huff Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 59 mins Language: English Release date: 08-04-17 Publisher: Cross Hill Press Genres: Teens, Religion & Spirituality Publisher's Summary: From best-selling devotional author, Hannah Duggan, comes a 10-week Bible study for the young adult asking the question, "What now?" As young adults, we question every decision. We live in the fear that our futures will crash and burn. We're terrified of messing up and missing out. Our lives are characterized by hard questions, and we're disillusioned with cliché answers. But what if I told you that you're right where God wants you? What if I told you that He's not afraid of your hard questions? What if I told you that God's will is right front of you? What Now? is equipped with practical tools, spiritual breakthroughs, and somewhat unusual tips on how to find direction - not just for our futures - but in every area of our lives. If we dared to live the life God offers us, we could: The greatest revivals in history started with a few young adults who took God at His Word. There is no end to what He can do when we're brave enough to ask Him, "What now?" Members Reviews: Five Stars Great book to start a bible study class :) This is a great bible study This is a great bible study. I've done it with my grad school friends and I've loved the way it's made me look at myself, the world, and my relationship with God. Thank you Hannah Duggan!! She also has a leader's guide on her website for free that I've found very helpful. Excellent! As a youth leader and teen/young adult mentor I am always looking for resources that will encourage and inspire this age group. Hannah Duggan's What Now? is fresh, funny and challenging. It takes you not just on a journey to find God's will, but to find God Himself. I highly recommend this book to teens, young adults, youth leaders and anyone who is truly seeking God. " We are reading it in our youth group and it is such a great read with such Godly wisdom This is a total "Glory Nugget." We are reading it in our youth group and it is such a great read with such Godly wisdom. Thank you Hannah! I love the youth night chapters and application Wow! I love the youth night chapters and application. The purpose filled pages guide young adults through challenges at the end of each chapter. Wise, Funny and Relevant!!

Title: The Door Within Subtitle: The Door Within Trilogy, Book 1 Author: Wayne Thomas Batson Narrator: Wayne Thomas Batson Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 50 mins Language: English Release date: 09-21-10 Publisher: Oasis Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 89 votes Genres: Teens, Religion & Spirituality Publisher's Summary: There is an unseen world of good and evil where nightmares are fought and hope is reborn. Enter The Door Within. Aidan Thomas is miserable. And it's much more than the strange nightmares he's been having. Just when life seemed to be coming together for Aidan, his parents suddenly move the family across the country to take care of his wheelchair-bound grandfather. When strange events begin to occur, Aidan is drawn into his grandfather's basement where he discovers three ancient scrolls and an invitation to another world. No longer confined to the realm of his own imagination, Aidan embarks on an adventure where he meets knights, warriors, kings and mysterious Glimpses who can travel between worlds. Aidan joins them in the struggle between good and evil. With the fate of two worlds hanging in the balance, Aidan faces Paragory, the eternal enemy. Will Aidan be willing to risk everything and trust the unseen hand of the one true King? The answer comes from The Door Within. Members Reviews: Good, but keep in mind: All right, the first thing to note is that this is aimed at 10-year-olds and up. Not surprising, since the author has been teaching 6th grade English for years. Keeping that in mind, the parallels are great, and the story is compelling once you get into the alternate world. The down-side is that some of the descriptive language is laughable, and the similes are awful. I had a very hard time getting through the beginning of the story, but by the time it ended, I downloaded the second book. Overall, I'm glad someone is using the Fantasy genre to bring a Christ-representative story to readers who would otherwise be reading about witchcraft and false gods. Worth buying. Well Done Fantasy Story! Wayne Thomas Batson has done an excellent job telling an interesting traditional fantasy story. Yes, it is aimed at middle school age kids (not unlike Harry Potter or such), but I am a 41 year old doctor and I loved it. I downloaded it because my daughter was reading it, and I the book looked interesting. Plus, it never hurts to find out what your kids are reading! Yes, it has a Christian influence, but it is not heavy-handed (think Chronicles of Narnia). There are a few slow parts in the first half but by the end it was quite gripping. This one is read by the author himself, who really throws himself into it. All the voices are well done overall, a few of the accents are a little goofy (particularly when he slips into a pseudo-English accent while narrating), but certainly better than I could have done. I definitely think that we need more of this type of author in this genre providing well written stories for our kids (and us!). As an aside, we also have been listening to it in the car on long road trips, which I highly recommend as a good family way to pass the time without watching TV/DVD for hours on end! Overall, definitely recommend this audiobook. The Grand Adventure has Begun... Would you listen to The Door Within again? Why? I enjoyed how it was read and it was GREAT to hear how the author interpreted the voices. What other book might you compare The Door Within to and why? It is hard to compare it to other books because the message points to God and his perfect love. It shows that God will never leave us nor forsake us. Which character as performed by Wayne Thomas Batson was your favorite? It is REALLY hard to pick one.

The Chase Audiobook by Kelsey Kupecky, Kyle Kupecky

Title: The Chase Subtitle: Trusting God with Your Happily Ever After Author: Kelsey Kupecky, Kyle Kupecky Narrator: Zach Villa, Sarah Zimmerman Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 8 mins Language: English Release date: 09-28-15 Publisher: christianaudio.com Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 27 votes Genres: Teens, Religion & Spirituality Publisher's Summary: Kyle and Kelsey Kupecky couldn't have dreamed a better love story for themselves had it been scripted by a best-selling novelist like Kelsey's mom, Karen Kingsbury. In fact if you asked them, Kyle and Kelsey would name God as the author of their story. And they're glad they trusted him to write it for them. Unfortunately, too many girls hoping for their own happily ever afters have taken matters into their own hands, chasing after boys when they should be chasing after God. And that inevitably leads to heartache, low self-esteem, and poor choices as girls give in to pressure from media and peers to look and act a certain way to attract guys. Kyle and Kelsey want girls to know that it's never too late to trust God with their love lives, that wherever they are, there's always hope for the future. Through their own story and the stories of others who long for love, they show girls how to put God first, how to value and protect their purity, how to deal with loneliness and bullying, and how to see themselves as God does - a one-in-a-million girl who deserves no less than God's best. Members Reviews: "Haven't Met You Yet" Wow such an incredible listen!!! God has been revealing more and more to me and listening to this has been so on point, it is like a confirmation :D It hasn't been easy being single but I know that God's plan is bigger than my own so thank you Kyle and Kelsey Kupecky!! So good!! I recommend it to anyone that is having struggles with dating or not dating and just wondering about abiding in God and trusting Him during it. This book has given me ideas on how to prepare and also how to just trust in Him for my love story <3 for He is my first love and we as children of Him I think it's important to remember that above any relationship we might get into it is important to remember that :) Bless you all!!! Amazing!! I recommended this book to my friend and it changed her life. It has a great message! I loved it! Every girl should read this before dating. My heart filled with love and eyes filled with tears hearing the most beautiful story in just the first 10 mins. I wish I would have heard this when I turned 13. Listening gives you hope in a world so focused on the wrong things. Can't wait for my happily ever after from God.

Title: True Purity Subtitle: More Than Just Saying 'No' to You-Know-What Author: Hayley DiMarco Narrator: Hayley DiMarco Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 49 mins Language: English Release date: 02-06-13 Publisher: christianaudio.com Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Teens, Religion & Spirituality Publisher's Summary: Purity. What exactly is it? According to best-selling authors Hayley and Michael DiMarco, purity is far more than abstinence from sex or other sexual activities. It's not about rules. It's not a list of don'ts. It's not about scare tactics, teen pregnancy statistics, or warnings about STDs. And it's not ruined the moment we mess up. It goes way deeper than that. In their honest, down-to-earth style that teens trust, Hayley and Michael explain that purity starts in the heart and involves every thought, desire, and action - not just sex. They show that purity isn't just for the superspiritual, but that it is a daily choice that every teen must make. And most importantly, they show teens that it's never too late to become pure and that lost purity can be redeemed through God's grace. Members Reviews: This book was insightful and helpful. Although the target ... This book was insightful and helpful. Although the target audience is teens and young adults, I found many nuggets just for me--well past my teen years! If the "purity movement" annoys you, but you want to raise your kids or yourself to walk in obedience to God, this is the book. It covers all the topics. Excellent book for a parent with a preteen child - ... Excellent book for a parent with a preteen child - boy or girl. It will help you to focus on overall purity and living a life that glorifies God rather than just the sexual side of purity. Great book! I think this is a wonderful book for any young person to read. It's different from all the other purity books but in a good way! I learned a lot and hope and Pray that I will remember what I learned and use it to grow in my relationship with Jesus Christ!!! SO I hope this book Blesses you like it did me! :) The real meaning of purity in salvation My pastor taught from this book at bible study and recommended us to read it. Once I ordered and begin to read I was blown away at how wrong I was about what purity meant. I highly recommend it for every the newly saved and mature saved individuals. Great read!! Great Book If you want to start from scratch on how to teach young people about integrity and loving God, this is the book.

No one fully knows her story, but her mere gaze eats away at the core of one's being. In his quest for power, Johnis now finds himself in her intoxicating grip. Assumed identities, a magic amulet, control of the fearsome Shataiki bats, and a troubling alliance with the Dark Priest all converge against the three remaining chosen. Only Elyon knows what will happen when the forces of ultimate good and evil clash in their final battle. Dive deep into this epic conclusion to the Lost Novels - if you dare! Members Reviews: I am enjoing this book! I am mid-book right now and really like ELYON. This is a good book. There are so many characters that i had to listen to the beginning several times to catch all the characters names and their roles; but now i 'got it' and following it well! :) worth purchasing! love i loved it. i love all of his books. I just wish it actually ended instead of leaving me hanging. Is there one to go to from here? Not my favorite I am a huge fan of the Circle Trilogy books, but these (from the Lost Books series) are poorly thought out, jump around a lot, and have a story line that is incredibly hard to follow. Oh my gosh, enough with the Ledan already! Would you try another book from Ted Dekker and Kaci Hill and/or Tim Gregory? yes What was most disappointing about Ted Dekker and Kaci Hill s story? it droned on forever in what could have been done in about 4 hrs instead of 7. What do you think the narrator could have done better? he was ok What character would you cut from Elyon? The ledan. Any additional comments? Spoiler alert! The ledon possessing our hero was way, way way too whiney and annoying for such a "powerful being" by the 100th "Paatience, my Chosen Onnneee," I was ready to scream "just kill the thing already!" Disappointed The last two books of this series were EXTREMELY hard to get through. I wanted to know the end of the story. I was disappointed with the direction. It as if Ted started us on a journey but forgot why we started and where we were going. Ending was anti climatic and pointless. I was actually finding myself becoming annoyed at the Vampire character. That story line was unnecessary. Why leave Thomas and the Guard completely out? Also why not bring back Bilos?

All In Audiobook by Mark Batterson, Parker Batterson

Title: All In Subtitle: Student Edition Author: Mark Batterson, Parker Batterson Narrator: Van Tracy Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 26 mins Language: English Release date: 03-11-14 Publisher: Zondervan Ratings: 1 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Teens, Religion & Spirituality Publisher's Summary: Halfway is no way to live. Quit holding back. Quit holding out. It's time to go all in and all out for God. The good news is this: If you don't hold out on God, God won't hold out on you. If you give everything you have to follow Jesus, you'll receive amazing spiritual rewards. But this reality also comes with a deeper truth: Nothing belongs to you. Not even you. In All In: Student Edition, Mark and Parker Batterson explore what going all in can mean for your life, sharing unique illustrations and unforgettable stories, as well as compelling accounts of biblical characters. Throughout, they demonstrate the amazing things that can happen when you surrender to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Mark Batterson writes: 'When did we start believing that God wants to send us to safe places to do easy things? Jesus didn't die to keep us safe. He died to make us dangerous.' Members Reviews: Five Stars Excellent book for Teens! Five Stars Great encouraging book! Some good points, but ultimately not for me. In "All In: Student Edition" by Mark Batterson and Parker Batterson, the main idea is to get students to see that if you don't hold out on God, then God won't hold out on you. Father/son duo, Mark and Parker dive deep into what it means to go "All In" for God and how nothing on this Earth belongs to you...not even You. Perhaps the most compelling quote of the entire book was made at the beginning by Mark when he said "When did we start believing that God wants to send us to safe places to do easy things? Jesus didn't die to keep us safe. He died to make us dangerous." This book makes many good points, but for a few different reasons it just didn't sit well with me. For one thing, this is the Student version of All In, and I have not read the original version so I cannot compare this to it, but it almost seemed like the author was trying a little too hard to get to a teen's level. In some areas, Mark makes comments like "Get off your butt" or at certain points makes crass comments about what he thinks Jesus should have done in that moment. He does go back to say that he was always wrong for thinking those things, but I just was a little uncomfortable that he would say it in the first place. I have read one previous book by Mark Batterson, called "Draw The Circle" which I absolutely loved! Just because I disliked this book, it will not deter me from reading any of Mark Batterson's other books in the future. This book was simply not for me. For that reason, I rate it as 3 stars. Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book free from the publisher through the BookLook Bloggers [...] book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commissionâs 16 CFR, Part 255[...] âGuides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising.â Find Your Path With God! In this book you are introduced to the way in which you can go all in for Jesus and finding their paths toward God. In a world that has been becoming more and more challenging for our youth, this book works to clarify the world around us for students today. It is not easy for anyone, let alone our youth, to understand their purpose and how to give themselves to their God.

Subtitle: Biblical Worldview of Self-Image (What We Believe, Volume 2) Author: John Hay, David Webb Narrator: Marissa Leinart Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 54 mins Language: English Release date: 05-16-12 Publisher: Apologia Educational Ministries Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Teens, Religion & Spirituality Publisher's Summary: Our children are bombarded daily with competing messages. Every song, movie, book, TV show, blog, and game is full of ideas - ideas about God, people, truth, beauty, and right and wrong. Not all of these ideas are true. Some are deceptive and even destructive. The What We Believe series helps children learn to discern the truth by using God's Word as a lens through which to view the world around them - to see everything the way God sees it. Easy to use for the whole family, this is the second book in a four-part study that introduces young people, ages 6-14, to the basic truths of the Christian faith. Through engaging stories, creative notebooking, and fun activities, they will come to understand what it means to be fearfully and wonderfully made in the image of the Most High God. This study will enable children to develop a healthy, biblical self-image and a sense of God-given purpose that will last a lifetime. Members Reviews: Great God Study Book! Book two in a series of 4 by Apologia. This one examines our personal relationship with God and what our role in that relationship is. Did this with my two middle school aged daughters and they loved it. Recommend the notebooking journal that accompanies these texts as well. Great stuff! This is great material, it reviews a lot of the great religions of the world and has the student look to what the bible says. This is very, very good. I highly recommend it. Perfect Absolutely wonderful! Interesting stories and fun activities. Perfect for my autistic student. It really deals with issues encountered in the middle school years. Great Book!! Very good book!! Can't wait to read it everyday with my kids. They are enjoying it also!! Five Stars Using it in our homeschool with 10 and 12 year old. They are really enjoying it! Thank you!!

But just as the two form a bond, it is quickly torn apart after the magistrate's son is murdered, and Rose becomes the prime suspect. Little do Deedra and Rose know how much their relationship will affect the fate of everyone who lives on the planet. Members Reviews: After the Red Rain is a Great and captivating book I found this book After the Red Rain so captivating that I did not want to put it down. It was a fantastic show of how we could end up if we let the world fall apart and let the government make are food instead of growing it. Loved it!!! Oh I soooo hope there is a part 2 on the horizon. At first I thought the storyline for Rose, the main male character, to be a little far out there until you think of the likes of Star Wars and Avatar and look how successful those were and how with a great imagination, you can allow yourself to be sucked into this alternate time and be totally engaged. If your looking for a great book, with a twisting story that leaves you wanting more, this is your book! Five Stars Surprisingly good book considering what it's about. Enjoyed twists and turns of story Very creative. Enjoyed twists and turns of story. Didn't want to put it down. Great read. Makes me want to recycle so we ... Great read.

Lionel falls asleep while listening to his uncle tell stories. Ryan stays up reading and listening to music. Vicki goes out smoking pot with her friends. And Judd, tired of being told what to do, takes his fathers credit card and heads to the airport in search of freedom. But in one shocking moment, everything changes. All over the world, millions of people suddenly vanish. Driverless cars crash on the highways, and planes fall through the sky without pilots. Each of the four kids soon discovers friends and family members missing. Will they be able to learn the truth behind the disappearances? Authors Jerry B. Jenkins and Tim LaHaye base this thriller on Left Behind, their riveting book that has topped best-seller lists across the country and captured the attention of Hollywood producers. Narrator Scott Shina vividly portrays the "end times" through the eyes of the four young friends. Members Reviews: Perfect Perspective Another amazing storyline from a younger perspective. I love it! I will recommend it. GREAT!! Loved it! What did you love best about The Vanishings? The performance and the story line was great! I love the adult series and this is a series that my kids can listen to. Great book! Star Wars and Game of Thrones had a baby...Dune This was a monster of a story, but one that was very worthwhile. Dune is basically like taking Star Wars and Lord of the Rings and putting them in a room together and making them have a child before they can leave. Combining elements of mystic power along with treacherous villainy, it keeps the story thriving. The audio book had some flaws in my mind. They jumped around narrating in really odd placed and if you have a hard time following multiple characters, this isn't your bag. Anyone loving a flair for mystery, dukes, barons, emperors and interplanetary commerce will truly enjoy this. And then try to keep in mind it was written 50 years ago and the tech will blow your mind!!

Title: Exquisite Captive Subtitle: Dark Caravan Cycle, Book 1 Author: Heather Demetrios Narrator: Erin Mallon Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 44 mins Language: English Release date: 10-07-14 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 38 votes Genres: Teens, Religion & Spirituality Publisher's Summary: Jinni. Empress. Warrior. Slave. Nalia is a jinni of tremendous ancient power, the only survivor of a coup that killed nearly everyone she loved. Stuffed into a bottle and sold by a slave trader, she's now in hiding on the dark caravan, the lucrative jinni slave trade between Arjinna and Earth, where jinn are forced to grant wishes and obey their human masters' every command. She'd give almost anything to be free of the golden shackles that bind her to Malek, her cruel master, and his lavish Hollywood lifestyle. Enter Raif, the enigmatic leader of Arjinna's revolution and Nalia's sworn enemy. He promises to release Nalia from her master so that she can return to her ravaged homeland and free her imprisoned brother - all for an unbearably high price. Nalia's not sure she can trust him, but Raif's her only hope of escape. With her enemies on the hunt, Earth has become more perilous than ever for Nalia. There's just one catch: for Raif's unbinding magic to work, Nalia must gain possession of her bottle - and keep the dangerously persuasive Malek from trapping her inside it. Battling a dark past and harboring a terrible secret, Nalia soon realizes her freedom may come at too terrible a cost. In this gorgeous fantasy, Heather Demetrios brings to life a deliciously seductive world where a wish can be a curse and shadows are sometimes safer than the light. Members Reviews: Impressive and Intricate storyline! Would you listen to Exquisite Captive again? Why? Absolutely! In fact I probably should. I tried to read the book and gave up. But I knew it was a good story and I'm so glad I listened to it. The narrator really brought the characters to life. What did you like best about this story? Nalia. I absolutely loved her! Her love for her friends, her country, the people in her world. Her dedication. Even her empathy for Malik. What does Erin Mallon bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Again, I tried to read the book. I just couldn't read it. But Erin Mallon brought the story to life, the characters came alive. I would have missed a great story without the audio book! Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? With all the twists and turns I did have a lot of "Oh No's!" that my family wondered about, but the twist at the end really had me. I thought it would go a very different way. Any additional comments? I will definitely get the next book on audio! Interesting Story I really enjoyed this story. I am a narrator snob and this one is on my meh list. All the dramatic breathing is exhausting. I need oxygen after listening to her.

The Viola Girl Audiobook by Sherri Schoenborn Murray

Title: The Viola Girl Subtitle: Counterfeit Princess Series, Book 2 Author: Sherri Schoenborn Murray Narrator: Danielle Winter Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 2 mins Language: English Release date: 08-04-17 Publisher: Sherri Schoenborn Murray Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 8 votes Genres: Teens, Religion & Spirituality Publisher's Summary: She plays from memory just like her sister. Her memories. Princess Wren begins a journey to Yonder to see Alia, her older sister, and to say the goodbye that was never said. Alone, and only 15, she has many lessons to learn, including one that costs Wren her heart. This prodigal daughter story is filled with problems, prayers, and plenty of danger. Members Reviews: Wonderful! I really enjoyed this story. The writing was fantastic, and the narration was incredible. I thought the narrator was easy to listen to and did a great job differentiating between characters. The growth of Wren through the story, and her faith, which remained strong although tested, was neat to follow. Delightful & unpredictable fairy tale This is an exceptional 'fairy-tale' Christian fiction! Told in the first person, this is the story of Princess Wren. Beginning when she's a young girl, it goes through her life till she arrives at her own 'happily-ever-after'. I expected it to be a traditional, 'normal' fairy-tale, but was pleasantly surprised! The characters include a delightful old viola teacher, a handsome young guard, giants and other villains, the betrothed prince, and more! I found it full of twists and turns. Yes, although I found some parts were a bit predictable, overall, I found it very intriguing and delightful. One of Wren's earliest memories is seeing her beloved older sister and sent off to be married to some unknown gentleman. She is determined to see her sister again. Wren is independent and a bit headstrong. This story betrays how she learns important life lessons along the way. This is my first introduction to this author, and I was enthralled by this book, and I will definitely read more of her work! I believe this could also be classified as a Young Adult book, and have already encouraged my daughters to read it too!! I received a complimentary audiobook version of this story, all opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own. Completely charming. I may have even loved this story more than the first one. May. Its hard to say. I honestly really really love them both. Sherri Schoenborn Murray has so captivated me with her unique storylines and her writing style. There is depth, there is feeling, there is so much I want to say but dont even have words for. The Viola Girl is all about Wren, the younger sister of Alia (The Piano Girl: Counterfeit Princess). I love that this book gave me the opportunity to get to know Wren, but I also really appreciate that it goes back in time and retells the beginning of Alias story from Wrens perspective. This gives an added dimension and provides a lot of insight into Wrens emotion, choices, and her character as a whole. Without giving away the story, Wrens decision to run away to see her sister goes completely awry, leading to unexpected adventure and romance. I always find that Im surprised by this talented writer not necessarily in everything that happens (because there are things here and there that I suspect might happen) but Im typically surprised by how things happen. By the twists, both large and small. Danielle Winter is fabulous at giving Wren her own voice, as well as differentiating between characters. Id like to compare this story to a fruit-filled pastry. Sweet, yet not overly so. Just right.

Title: Eyes of Lightning Subtitle: Thunderbird Legacy, Volume 1 Author: Erin Keyser Horn Narrator: Terri Doty Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 57 mins Language: English Release date: 07-29-13 Publisher: Erin Keyser Horn Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Teens, Religion & Spirituality Publisher's Summary: After a thousand years of curses, the Thunderbird's secrets are about to be unleashed in the charming town of Galena, Illinois. Ivy is a normal 15-year-old girl . . . if you consider yellow eyes and storm-chasing urges normal. Life gets even more normal when she runs away from home to find Walter Nimiki, the grandfather she's never met. It's he who tells her the truth - Ivy is a descendant of the cursed Thunder Clan, so the boy she'll someday fall in love with will die young. Walter believes Ivy is the hope the clan has waited for, the one who can break the curse. Before she can learn more, a terrible accident leaves Walter in a coma. Ivy can't save him without the help of three boys: Gabe is keeping a promise to Walter, Cal always knows what she's feeling, and Dan can't stand the sight of her. Ivy doesn't know what would be worse - failing to save Walter, or accidentally falling in love with a boy. Either way, someone will die... Members Reviews: Enjoyed it! You can really see how much the author has done before writing this book. I love the glimpses into her real life experiences. Excellent story! waiting for more.... Eyes of Lightening was an unexpected pleasure. I had read Ms. Horn's other book River's Edge and was expecting a similar feel, but this one is much les dark, but interesting in the relationships of the four teens. The detail included as well as the development of each of the characters leaves me wanting more. I absolutely cannot wait to read the next installment Wings of Thunder to see what is next for Ivy, her family, her friends and the elusive thunderbird. Oh My! Totally Awesome!!! Eyes of Lightning (Volume 1) This book is a great read. Truly written by a pro! I'm so excited about this book. I hope the next book comes out early. A playwright could easily turn this into a movie. Oh that would be soooooo cool! I believe this author is a rising star and is on the fast track to being well known. Buy this book NOW, go on, right now! Soul Inspiring I thoroughly enjoyed this book from beginning to end. I mean for the life of it I wasn't able to put it down! It just took hold of my interest; Native lore to Christian values even human emotions all braided together. I had moments when my emotions mirrored the characters. Crazy, but the truth. I can't wait to read the next book! Amazing This book was amazing! It grabbed my attention in the very beginning and held on to it to the very end. I found it difficult to choose between the book and other things that needed to be done. It was very captivating how Ivy worked through her feelings for Gabe, Cal and Dan to bring them together for a common good! Can't wait for the next book!

Title: Revelation: Dystopian Romance Subtitle: Unbelief Series, Book 3 Author: C.B. Stone Narrator: Marissa Clay Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 55 mins Language: English Release date: 12-23-16 Publisher: InkedPlot Media Ratings: 2 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Teens, Religion & Spirituality Publisher's Summary: She can't walk away now... *This plan - this crazy, stupid, impossible plan - could work. At the very least, it will serve to get the boys back into the folds of the Elite, so they don't come to any harm for helping me. And it'll get me back inside so I can try to save my father - but then what? How will I get him out? We have no guarantees this will even work...* Sinna is headed back to Rehabilitation. Like it or not, she doesn't see any other alternatives. She can't just pretend everything is okay, and hide out in the Garden. *But how will they get back there? And what will happen when they do? Will they be able make it back out alive a second time? Sinna isn't at all sure about any of it, but her conscience won't let her back out now.* *This is a young adult dystopia trilogy set in a post-apocalyptic world with hints of romance.* Members Reviews: A great read and a nice conclusion to the Unbelief trilogy Sinna has made the difficult decision to leave The Garden in the Old World and return to Rehabilitation to save someone close to her, but in doing so, she reluctantly leaves behind someone she really cares for. With the help of Alex and Jasper, Sinna returns to the Eliteâs readjustment programme only to find that she comes face to face with the imposing Commander of the facility and her plans are squashed. Can Sinna survive being held prisoner by the fearful Commander and how is she going to rescue her loved ones now? This was a wonderful conclusion to the Unbelief trilogy. This book was as well written as the two books before it and the characters were consistent throughout all books. Sinna continues to be a strong female lead in the story and we are provided with more details about the Elite and their beliefs thereby giving a balanced view of both the governing Elite and the rest of society under their rule. There was nothing I didnât like about this book, or any of the three books in this series, however, this final book did open up a few questions for me and also left a few things unanswered. In the scenes between the Commander and Sinna when she was imprisoned, I felt there was something more to the Commander that wasnât followed through in the story. I thought their conversations indicated that the Commander may have been rethinking the Eliteâs laws as he seemed to contemplate the Eliteâs beliefs compared with those of the Believers, and that perhaps each side had more in common than everyone originally thought. I also didnât understand why Sinna was taken to the Commander and imprisoned in different quarters rather than her being taken to Rehabilitation as she believed was going to happen, and also what the Commander thought he would achieve by keeping her there. I was also surprised that Miriam wasnât included in this book, or that Sinna didnât try to rescue her from The Gate and take her back to The Garden. The ending did tie up a lot of things nicely for me but also raised a few questions, mostly about the actual ending which seemed to happen very quickly and the book was over before I knew it. I canât go into detail without giving away the story, but I would have liked more details about how the ending all came about.

While Koren and Jason race to the Northlands of Starlight to find the one person who can help them free the human slaves, Elyssa and Wallace strive to convince the captives that freedom is possible. Soon, all four discover that the secrets of Starlight extend much further than they had imagined. Meanwhile, Randall and Tybalt have returned to Major Four and struggle against the dragon Magnar, who has arrived to manipulate the governor. No one knows how the prophecy will be fulfilled, but one thing is clear: more than ever, the survival of the dragons depends on humankind, and they will do anything to prevent the slaves from escaping. Members Reviews: The return of John Wayne for the new YA It's good v evil, young heros of both genders, (John and Jonnie Wayne(s), standing for friends, families,loves and countries, (planets). Christian over tones,subtle,ie. having a higher power yet not strickly by the Book or in your face. As simple as the above may seem, it's not cut and dried. Evil you'll find can come from both sides, and so can honor. Those who can't...do. And those you can do, do more than they ever thought they could. The author needs no foul language to express anger in arguements nor battles in war. The young men fight huge battles and can still protect the modesty of the young women. There's no shorting of reality as many suffer from injustice and battles rage with the true horrors of war. As an older, much older, reader; I enjoyed the adventure as it was told in the manner of the moral 1950's; yet takes place hundreds of years from now, or maybe thousands of years ago. The entire series is something I'd recommend for my grand children.... like them, most of today's YA readers have no idea who John Wayne was. He was the guy in the 'white hat', who once said: "A man has to do what a man has to do". Today the same applies to 'women' who must overcome "the weakness of MANKIND". I believe this book and the series will be enjoyed by the "greatest generation" as well as our newest YA generation. Five Stars 11 yr old daughter loved it! another masterpiece by Bryan Davis this is the second book in the dragons of starlighter series and it is even better then the last book i know that is hard to beleve but its true i wont spoil the story but it is a must must read.sooooo can be for all ages. if you dont think so read master and slayers.also by bryan davis in the starlighter series.this is recomended for adults.but i read it and it could be for teens or adults.also good in kindle format. Four Stars Good series if you like dragons. good book Warrior is a wonderful 2nd editon to the Dragons of staright siries. I most likey would not have put it down except for the fact that other book came out during the time iwas reading.

Members Reviews: A valuable book for all teens about your life of spirituality and awareness In the book The Spiritual Teen, Angela Jamal has written a thoughtful and much needed book for teens seeking answers to the spiritual question of a full life of well-being and awareness. It has many practical suggestions, such as relaxation and breathing exercises, and I particularly like the inclusion of quotes from other teens in answer to their own questions. Nutritional awareness is also emphasized, as a necessary component to a happy and healthy teen life. Ms. Jamal writes in plain language directly to teens, with enthusiasm. She affirms, so true and important to hear, that spirituality/awareness is a natural part of everyoneâs life. I highly recommend this book to all teens, to discover that in your search for a conscious life you are joined by many teens like yourself. A concise, yet deep perspective on the spiritual teen I worked with Angela several years ago when I helped lead a Harvard Medical School-based study of yoga for students at her school. Angela is a wise and kind educator with a lot of knowledge around helping students approach spirituality in a secular way. She told me about her idea to write this book several years ago, which is why I'm so happy to finally have a hard copy of the book in my hands. This book is concise, yet deep, and provides numerous resources in a way that's easy for teens to digest. From unpacking what spirituality is to describing mindful practices like yoga, journal writing, and healthy eating, Angela does a fantastic job introducing the concept of the spiritual teen. I highly recommend this book! An inspiration teacher who helped me get through one of ... An inspiration teacher who helped me get through one of the toughest times in a person's life, high school.

But He definitely wants it. Lets face it. God is God, and there isnt a single problem in the universe that He cant solve. But the fact is, God gave each of us unique talents for a reason. When we offer up the gifts Hes given us, He will transform them into something bigger than we could have ever imagined. He might even work a miracle, like turning one lunch into a meal for 5,000 people. Or turning Austin Gutweins favorite hobby into an international AIDS relief organization. What gifts do you have to offer? Discover your gifts and see what plans God has for you! Members Reviews: A new perspective on how you can Live to Give! Typically I don't like to read, but when I started this book I couldn't put it down! Austin's book, Live to Give, is truly an inspiring book for all ages. He uses real life examples as well as Biblical facts to take the reader on a journey through self-reflection and self-discovery. Live to Give isn't just the title, it's a way of life. Austin not only talked about his talents, but painted a picture on how everyone has been given their own talents; all unique, but none less important than the other. I can't wait to share this book with others, and I would recommend this book to all! Thanks Austin, and God Bless! A perfect graduation gift for any age Inspiring to young and old!!!! A perfect graduation gift for any age!!! This book is for everyone! Making a difference in the world is something I am passionate about, and it is clear that Austin Gutwein feels the same way! Austin has brought us a book that I heartily enjoyed and can recommend: "Live to Give: Letting God Turn Your Talents Into Miracles." This is a book for everyone! Austin has a very practical, realistic, and Scriptural view of how God has blessed each one of us with unique talents and abilities, and how He desires that we would use them to impact the world. With an in-depth look at the boy who let Jesus turn his lunch into a meal for 5,000 people, we are encouraged to do the same with our own gifts. Austin definitely has the gift of exhortation and the abilitty to inspire confidence in others. The stories of what he has done with his 18 years of life are so inspirational! He knows what he is talking about and he is living it out. That's the best kind of message-bearer one can be! I thought he did a great job speaking realistically on the challenges we can face when we choose to give of ourselves, and presented practical ways to overcome these obstacles. Giving of your time, talents, and abilities is an amazing thing. As Austin points out, not only do we change the world but we change *ourselves*. We grow by using our gifts. I know this has been true over and over again in my life, and I hope that many others will step out and start to see this at work in their lives, too! As someone who works in youth and children's ministries, I found the words that Austin directed to parents, teachers, and adults to be right on target. We do need to be encouraging the younger generation and empowering them to be able to live confidently in the unique abilities God has given them. May we show them how glorious it is to live to give, and may we put resources like this book in their hands to help them decide to go in faith and see it happen. Thank you to LitFuse for my copy of the book.

A powerful and challenging audiobook for young adults (though many will find it helpful) that explores the shaping effects of our culture through asking big questions and reflecting on big issues. Who are we, really? Whats the nature and purpose of the world? Why is there so much injustice and what can we do about it? What is the purpose of work? Are there traps with technology? What about sex and self-image? Whats the place of stuff in our lives? Does absolute truth exist? Is there a source of ultimate happiness? "When I read this book I wanted to give it to every young adult that I know. However, it is not just school leavers that need to read this book, but all of us who are swimming in cultural water that may be slowly killing us. If you are a Christian person you will be challenged as to whether the culture or the gospel is shaping your life and longings. As a person not yet convinced of the Christian faith, you will be invited to consider a freedom and purpose for which you may have been searching.

Waldrop Narrator: Valerie Menzel Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 27 mins Language: English Release date: 06-07-12 Publisher: robin p. waldrop Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 10 votes Genres: Teens, Romance & Friendship Publisher's Summary: Genevieve is a teenage girl who moves in with her aunt in Alaska after the death of her mother. Soon after her arrival she learns the things she was raised to believe only existed in fairytales are in fact a big part of her history. When it gets to be too much, she seeks refuge in the arms of her new boyfriend, William, only to find out he's not who she thought he was either. This is a Young Adult paranormal urban fantasy romance with mild language and mild sexual situations recommended for readers in grade 9 and up. Members Reviews: Can not wait to read book 2 Will be reading this book again! I loved it. As soon as I started reading Ties To The Blood Moon, I did not want to put it down. At times I did find that it shared some of the same elements as Twilight with the vampire and the werewolf falling in love with the same girl but that is to be expected, also with the picnic in the meadow of flowers. But Robin made her own characters and their personality different, and unique. That this book is quite different than Twilight. I do wish that when Genevieve first transformed into a wolf that the author would have went into detail of how she looked exactly, the color of her fur, eyes. I kind of had to think about how she would look. Then when she transformed again at the end into a "new" form there was still not any description or detail on how she looked. Now this book has suspense, and action though out the entire book, and I LOVED that it kept you turning the pages to see what was going to happen next. I do have to say the author had me with William everything was building up to what the author put into the story. I thought I had it figured out and bam I was so wrong. This is one paranormal book that I see myself reading again especially when the second book comes out which I hope is soon. At the end the author gives us a little teaser and it just makes you want more. Genevieve is a normal teenager that is until her mother is killed. Genevieve then has to go and live with her Aunt Bev in Alaska, where at first everything seems normal but soon after things start to become different for her. Her Aunt Bev starts acting really weird and Genevieve can sense it, then she gets news that she is something more than your average seventeen year old teenager. While finding out all sorts of new things about herself and the people that are around her she starts getting feelings for one guy and soon feelings for another surfaces. Genevieve has a destiny to fulfill, and while she is fulfilling it she has gotten stronger and more skilled in fighting. She is willing to put herself in danger rather than her friends and hates when they don't listen to her. If you love the paranormal, suspense, love triangles, action then I really recommend you pick this ebook up. Another great perk to this book is that it is over 600 pages long. Forgot to add the cover looks AMAZING! Fresh twist and great read I was asked by the author Robin yesterday if I would consider reading/reviewing Tes to the Blood Moon and the 2 follow-up books. I read the synopsis, and also some of the reviews already posted and to be quite honest (and I was honest with Robin) I really didn't want to delve back into yet another Vampire/Werewolf book. I am so burnt out on this genre that my fingers still smoke. However, I saw the cover and, well look at it.

What disappointed you about Vampire Dynasty and Werewolves Lair? the story was very week. I couldnt connect with any of the characters and it seems as though things just began to happen without me knowing why. Would you ever listen to anything by Vianka Van Bokkem again? no I will never listen to this author again. If this is the level of work she produces I'll pass, Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Ali Cheff? the narrator was terrible. she kept repeating sentences and her voice didnt do it for me. the narrator had one drab tone the whole time I listened to this book. IT WAS UNBEARABLE!! What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? I was very disappointed with this book Im glad I didnt pay much for it. Any additional comments? This book should be removed from the library all together its simply terrible

Title: Morning Star Subtitle: Ethos, Book 1 Author: Desiree Finkbeiner Narrator: Jessica Geffen Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 44 mins Language: English Release date: 08-16-12 Publisher: Hydra Publications Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 10 votes Genres: Teens, Romance & Friendship Publisher's Summary: It started with a mushroom, from another world...never before touched by a human hand, until Brianna...but life continued as normal... until a near fatal accident almost a decade later, reveals to Brianna... she's... different... Unexplained lab results, unusually fast healing, and recent sightings of Jurassic-sized dragonflies... What is happening to her? When a peculiar man delivers her from a violent assault, she becomes enchanted by his heroism and inhuman abilities. Her rescuer, Kalen, is sworn to protect the powerful secret she has yet to realize, from an ancient foe with evil designs.... With the secret exposed, our world is no longer safe. Kalen takes Brianna to Ethos, his home, unprepared for what happens next.... An ancient prophecy unfolds and they must make make a choice: give in to their forbidden love, or sacrifice their heart's desire for a chance to save their worlds. Members Reviews: Definitely something different!!! "Morning Star" is another novel on my currently-reading list for a long long time. But you know, this time I am not the only reason. When the author was kind enough to send me the audio book of this book, I started listening to it immediately. But, you know, my hubby lost my precious earphones and then my mom and mother-in-law started taking matters out of control, I lost touch with books..well, almost. Now that everything is back to normal or as normal as it can be, let me start with the review. Brianna is your typical teen, going to college and having fun with her friends and family. But, all of a sudden, huge dragonflies are following her and then there was a small accident, which she gets magically healed so soon. Then she meets Kalen. Kalen is a warrior from another place, Ethos, who comes in search of something so important to his world. But his searches lead him to Brianna. Although he starts liking Brianna, due to his promises, he can't love her. So, what is going to happen to this supernatural couple? Did Kalen save Brianna from whatever enemies he have? Did Kalen get what he is searching for? First of all, this story is something different. Huge magical dragonflies; cute hero controlling those dragonflies to track the enemies; innocent girl caught stuck in some age old war; bad people chasing our boy and girl; the fairy tale couple tries to 'not' love each other - well, everything is good. I know when I put like this, it sounds simple, but believe me, this story is something I have not read before. The world building is great and so is the character building. I absolutely enjoyed the overall plot of the novel. And the audio quality was good as well. Jessica did an excellent job on bringing the characters' voices and emotions. My audio rating for this novel is 4 out of 5. So, what not to like? The story is dragging at many places during the first half of the novel. I lost interest at those places, but just kept going. Of course, it became better..but those places can make some of the readers make it as DNF read. Some suggestions: The cover could be changed; I, for one, pick up books mainly based on the cover, and I don't fully approve of this. Actually, I have mixed feelings about this cover..one time I like it, and the next I don't.

Title: By the Sea Author: Katherine McIntyre Narrator: Kim Park Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 51 mins Language: English Release date: 09-07-16 Publisher: Decadent Publishing Company, LLC Genres: Teens, Romance & Friendship Publisher's Summary: Most kids had imaginary friends, but most weren't like Megan's friend Niall. There were rules: only at night and only by the sea. She could've sworn he was real, but when someone vanishes without a trace, what else can you believe? All that was seven years ago, buried in the past until Niall shows up in town with his tight swimmer's body and easy smile. For Megan, just the sight of him is enough to tear open a scar that never fully healed. However, their reunion only elicits more questions. Niall's keeping secrets, unbelievable ones, and as Megan delves into the supernatural depths of who he really is, she's sure he'll vanish again. Megan's not stupid - she knows how bad it'll hurt if she gets involved. The first time Niall disappeared, she never thought she'd recover. But the moment they lock eyes, it's too late - because Megan will go to any length to see that boy smile. Members Reviews: Initially whimsical fading to dark I generally hate surprises unless it comes to stories. Being well versed in general mythology, I know the lore about selkies: human to seal shapeshifters who leave their seal pelts behind when the change. This leaves them vulnerable to theft of their true identity, for a selkie without his seal skin is only half whole. This is the foundation of By the Sea. Like many young girls Megan has an imaginary friend; the only difference is hers is real. Then he disappears making Megan doubt her sanity and her worth. Now several years later, while working as a waitress, she notices something odd about her new coworker, and it doesn't take her long to realize he's her "imaginary friend" Niall. Initially angry and betrayed until Niall explains the reason for his desertion and also entreats her for help in restoring him to his full self. I was pleasantly surprised by the twist in this story, for I've never seen this combination of fae before. The antagonist is terrifying and makes the story take quite a dark turn, putting both Niall and Megan in horrifying danger, and shattering her perceptions of the real world. This story is well written with an almost whimsical tone to begin. The language leads you to think of the sea, breathy and light to glide alongside the loss the main character feels. The tension is heightened beautifully at the dire moments where you feel the same terror as the characters, doubly Megan whose suddenly thrown into a world she never knew existed. Their romance is sweet and almost childlike, as if Megan is still dealing with unresolved issues from that time, but it fits perfectly due to Niall's true nature. They can both grow together. Him in the aftermath, no longer trapped but a willing denizen of her sphere, and her now privy to the secrets of his nature. A short and story with substance This was a beautiful story. I just wish it were longer. :) Loved all the characters and how the story played out. I wont repeat what many reviewers have said except that if you love the ocean and romance, you'll enjoy this book. I know I loved it! A hidden gem Anytime I find an emerging author with a great voice, I get super excited to follow all of their work! You can count on Katherine to come through for you with a spunky female lead and a unique twist on the standard romance (or any genre she gets her paws on). So pumped to see what she comes up with next.

Then after she becomes acquainted with a man who helps her and her two small brothers hide away, she begins to understand that she isn't alone in her abilities, but there are other women who are also of interest to her old captor. This is a well written story with memorable characters. The scenes are vividly written in detail almost to the point of redundancy. I think they writer could have dropped this tedious tendency to expound on details and it would have eliminated the boring bits. Great narration Tara Sands! good i recommend the first but this one is very annoying. tou feel for emit the whole time

Treated like a prisoner and forced to keep her romance with Nathan hidden, she struggles to adapt to island life with the Kala. Worse, her specialties are coming in faster than she can control, and she fears the Skotadi within her will soon win the battle for her soul. Her only hope is to embrace her Incantation lineage, master the skills she's supposed to have, and free herself of her destiny...if only she could figure out how to do it. The ghosts of Nathan's past still inhabit the island. Adapting to the Kala way of life again is something he will grudgingly accept, as long as they agree to help Kris. But falling back into the Kala system means being a Kala soldier, and when the gods ask for help, he cannot refuse. Sent around the world on a mission, he faces new dangers and stumbles upon a startling discovery that could change everything. Together, they face their biggest hurdle yet and put their relationship to the ultimate test. When old temptations arise, new enemies emerge, and emotions run high, can their love survive?

This is a definite must read and the narration was perfect! Great Story I read this book and decided to give it a listen. Compared to a few other audio books this wasn't bad. Lisa did a nice job with the characters. I'd just like it to flow a tad better with the narration of the book. Overall not bad and of course I loved the story.

Title: The Core Subtitle: Equilibrium, Book 1 Author: Kate Thomas Narrator: Elizabeth Phillips Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 6 mins Language: English Release date: 11-06-15 Publisher: Kate Thomas Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 9 votes Genres: Teens, Romance & Friendship Publisher's Summary: There's something strange about David, something that goes beyond the way he makes Ellie feel. He's wealthy, poised, and a complete enigma. With nothing to lose but her heart, Ellie goes in search of the truth - a search that leads her down an eye-opening path that reveals secrets about the world she thought she knew. The world's order is held in careful balance, the essence of good and evil tilting the scale. When the fabric of reality is stripped away, Ellie is forced to make a decision to follow the path David's constructed before her or simply walk away. The Core is missing and someone must step up and stand between the light and darkness, holding each back and maintaining equilibrium. Members Reviews: Enjoyed this book very much What made the experience of listening to The Core the most enjoyable? Loved the general story and the fact that I liked the main characters (call me simple but it does make it easier to enjoy the book when you enjoy the characters). The narrator did a very good job. She was easy to listen to and nicely and subtly differentiated characters. Which character as performed by Elizabeth Phillips was your favorite? Ellie - main character - was great. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? It's just the beginning. Any additional comments? Book was a little slow to get to the paranormal bit but worth it. At about the 1/2 way point your learn how there are 5 parts to this and it becomes pretty obvious how the next 4 books will be structured. Checked the titles of the series and sure enough that's it. I'll be getting the next one because it is that good. I do have a criticism about the narration - I liked the narrator a lot but there are at least 3 instances of repeated phrases. This is very distracting as a listener. Better proofing by the narrator and author was needed. An excellent listen, great story. Would you listen to The Core again? Why? Yes, I loved the story and it is an easy listen. I cant wait for future books in this series What other book might you compare The Core to, and why? I think the Night Huntress series by Jeaniene Frost. The stories are not the same but I got the same feeling towards and the same chemistry between the characters. Have you listened to any of Elizabeth Phillipss other performances? How does this one compare? No Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? No it took me 5 days as I listened whilst commuting to and from work. Any additional comments? Kate Thomas is a new author to me but I was completely engaged with her work from the first page. At 60% of the way through I was that addicted that I purchased The Core in audiobook format so that I can listen to it on the way to work once I finished the book. Well I finished yesterday and have left it one day to let my thoughts percolate. I love the characters, Ellie is intelligent, independent and I find myself envious of her relationship she has with her brother. David, it the strong, mysterious type. I love how at the beginning of the book I am wary of him and by the end I, like Ellie am enraptured. The plot and its twists are exciting and kept me gripped.

She wants to follow her own path, whatever that means. When Drix and Elle meet, their connection is immediate, but so are their problems. Drix is not the type of boy Elle's parents have in mind for her, and Elle is not the kind of girl who can understand Drix's messy life. But sometimes love can breach all barriers. Fighting against a society that can't imagine them together, Drix and Elle must push themselves - Drix to confront the truth of the robbery and Elle to assert her independence - and each other to finally get what they deserve. Members Reviews: Poignant, heartbreaking, wonderful YA novel This book started out SLOW; I felt like I was moving backward at times during the first half of the book. Fortunately, the second half completely redeemed the book. After I finished the book and looked back at the beginning, I donât think it could have moved any quicker or the poignancy of what happened throughout the rest of the book. Say Youâll Remember Me is a standalone novel. It is written in dual first-person perspective, narrated by Elle and Drix. I loved the characters from the beginning. I found them both to be surprisingly relatable, considering they were teenagers. The secondary characters â particularly Drixâ brother, Axle â were wonderful. They were just as well-developed and sympathetic as Elle and Drix, and I would love to read more about all of them. This book broke my heart a lot more than I expected. From what Drix had been through, to Elleâs parents, the different types of neglect and ways theyâd been used tore at my heart. I didnât expect to feel so deeply invested in them and the way people kept failing them, whether those failures were intentional or not. Katie McGarry did a great job of juxtaposing Elle and Drix, on the surface they seemed diametrically opposed, but the more we learned about each of them, it was evident they were both struggling with the need to be more than what people saw on the surface. Initially, I would have said I wished the beginning had not been as drawn out as it was. After completing the book and reflecting on the book in its entirety, I know the book wouldnât have been as impactful without it being exactly as it was. There was one event I REALLY wish hadnât happened, but that horrific heartbreak heightened the emotional fallout of the other events in the novel and pushed the book into being more than your typical young adult novel. Katie McGarry won me over, as a reader, years ago with Pushing the Limits. While Say Youâll Remember Me wasnât quite the emotional powerhouse that book was, for me, it still highlighted important issues and made me think of things Iâd never considered before.

Title: White Witch Author: Trish Milburn Narrator: Mare Trevathan Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 7 mins Language: English Release date: 10-05-12 Publisher: Debra Dixon Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 16 votes Genres: Teens, Romance & Friendship Publisher's Summary: Witchcraft is her family's business. No one quits the family and lives to tell about it. 'Jax' Pherson has power, enough power to know her future will end in service to the dark coven her father controls. Unless she can stay hidden in a small community in the mountains of North Carolina. She must find a way to live without magic and deny the darkness she feels welling up inside her - the same dark power that fuels the covens around the world. All she wants is a normal life. A boyfriend. Friends. Some place to belong. But all too soon, Jax's barely begun new life hangs in the balance when she discovers that the boy she's attracted to is sworn to kill her kind. He's a hunter with good reason to kill everything that goes bump in the night. Even the most fleeting use of her power is tantamount to signing her death warrant and will bring both hunter and coven down on her. But can she walk away when her friends are threatened by an old evil? Something created by the magic of witches? Jax's only hope of survival is to convince the boy she loves to forget everything he's ever been taught and help her find a way to fight the covens. To believe there is some good in her. Members Reviews: Love, hope, and the power of an individual An excellent Young Adult, romantic story. Jax is a witch. Not your common, pointy hat, crackling voice type, but a real witch with real powers. Not wanting to be part of the family coven, she leaves for parts unknown, at 17 years old. Arriving in a small town in North Carolina, she gets enrolled in High School, and makes friends. One of the friends is the boy she falls head over heels for, who turns out to be a hunter. This is a person that hunts those who have dark powers, like Jax herself. Jax wants to be good, she really does. She convinces the hunter not to kill her, and discovers the attraction she feels to him is mutual. Now to find a way to fight the family she left. This is a good story. I have always believed in the supernatural and paranormal. Having read several books on witchcraft through the years, this novel has the possibility of truth. Witchcraft is still one of those secret, sometimes hidden things that we really want to believe in at times, yet find too mysterious and dark to pursue. Is it truly just the dark powers involved in witchcraft, or can there be white magic also? Is there a way prevent the dark power from overtaking the young witch? This is explored a tiny bit in this story. The story also gives hope that love can survive, even when the odds appear insurmountable. The joy and hope brought by love can be extremely powerful, when the reader becomes involved in the story. I will look forward to the next book in this series. I am left with the desire to know if Jax can resolve the family issues without completely abandoning her new friends. The need to fit in with the group, the need to protect others, the joy of finding out you do not have to be alone are things to be worked through. And, of course, exploration of good powers versus dark powers will need further investigation. Awesome Story Book Review- White Witch by Trish Milburn Jaxina Pherson, aka Jax Taylor, has left her coven in Miami. She left a false trail for them to follow and finds herself in the Carolinas instead of Alaska. She just wants to be normal. She refuses to give into the darkness that has engulfed the covens.

The Careful Undressing of Love Audiobook by Corey Ann Haydu

Title: The Careful Undressing of Love Author: Corey Ann Haydu Narrator: Julia Whelan Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 51 mins Language: English Release date: 01-31-17 Publisher: Listening Library Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Teens, Romance & Friendship Publisher's Summary: The girls of Devonairre Street have always been told they're cursed. Any boy they love is certain to die too soon. But this is Brooklyn in 2008, and the curse is less a terror and more a lifestyle accessory - something funky and quaint that makes the girls from the shortest street in Brooklyn special. They wear their hair long and keys around their necks. People give them a second look and whisper "Devonairre" to their friends. But it's not real. It won't affect their futures. Then Jack - their Jack, the one boy everyone loves - dies suddenly and violently. And now the curse seems not only real but like the only thing that matters. All their bright futures have suddenly gone dark. The Careful Undressing of Love is a disturbing and sensual story of the power of youth and the boundless mysteries of love set against the backdrop of Haydu's brilliantly reimagined New York City. Members Reviews: Five Stars This is a gorgeously crafted book with characters who will linger with you for a long time. So many layers, such a uniquely rich world. Really loved it. A Masterful, Mystical Tale The Careful Undressing of Love is a mystical book, filled with love and the gut wrenching pain it brings, with superstition and curses, with death and family all set on the shortest street in New York. Devonairre Street isnât a normal street with standard brownstones and people traversing the sidewalks. It was once where people flocked to find love; where people flocked to find love that they thought the world owed to them. And because of it, any girl who lives on Devonairre Street today, will cause the death of the boy they love. Lorna, Delilah, Isla and Charlotte are the Devonairre Street Girls. Apart, theyâre just your regular pretty girls but together, theyâre something else. Theyâre mystical and magical; they have long hair and keys around their necks. People stare as they walk by, and to them, the Curse is all a game. Until the boy Delilah loves dies in a freak accident, and the lives of the girls on Devonairre Street change forever. I didnât know what I was expecting going in, but The Careful Undressing of Love sounded SO SO UNIQUE that I knew I had to read it anyway. THINGS I LOVED: 1. THE TRADITIONS: Devonairre Street has so many of these quirky traditions (is it okay to call in that?) like keys around the neck, Shared Birthdays, lemons for grief and honey cake just to name a few. It really tied in the whole element that people REALLY BELIEVED that a Curse existed, and it made the book a lot more believable in its mysticism. 2. THE GRIEF: Whatever else I say about this book, I could feel the sadness and heartbreak wafting off the page. It was such a raw thing, so fragile and real and moving that I felt myself getting sucked and FEELING EVERYTHING in every time I read a few pages. Corey Annâs writing was on point, making you feel it all. 3. THE CURSE â REAL OR NOT? Normally, I would never believe that a Curse that kills the person you love existed but HOLY WOW THIS BOOK MADE ME QUESTION IT ALL. Donât get me wrong, I still wanted to shake Angelika and Delilah and the other older ladies of Devonairre Street, but IT MADE ME QUESTION EVERYTHING. 4. THE MEDIA FRENZY: I actually liked the media frenzy that occurred in the latter half of the book, when the article about the mysterious Devonairre Girls went viral.

Title: The Break-Up Artist Author: Philip Siegel Narrator: Cassandra Morris Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 28 mins Language: English Release date: 05-29-14 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Teens, Romance & Friendship Publisher's Summary: Some 16-year-olds babysit for extra cash. Some work at the Gap. Becca Williamson breaks up couples. After watching her sister get left at the altar, Becca knows the true damage that comes when people utter the dreaded L-word. For just $100 via paypal, she can trick and manipulate any couple into smithereens. With relationship zombies overrunning her school, and treating single girls like second-class citizens, business is unfortunately booming. Even her best friend, Val, has resorted to outright lies to snag a boyfriend. One night, she receives a mysterious offer to break up the homecoming king and queen, the one zombie couple to rule them all: Steve and Huxley. They are a JFK and Jackie O in training, masters of sweeping faux-mantic gestures, but if Becca can split them up, then school will be safe again for singletons. To succeed, she'll have to plan her most elaborate scheme to date and wiggle her way back into her former BFF Huxleys life - not to mention start a few rumors, sabotage some cell phones, break into a car, and fend off the inappropriate feelings shes having about Vals new boyfriend. All while avoiding a past victim out to expose her true identity. No one said being the Break-Up Artist was easy. Members Reviews: A hilarious and delightful read I really enjoyed this. The best thing was the style; Philip Siegel is an engaging and funny writer, and I found myself breezing through the book, laughing out loud, and even sharing some hilarious passages with my boyfriend (who does not read fiction at all). One of my favorites was the PDA rating in the gossip dossiers, taken from Department of Homeland Security's website. There are so many funny little details like that, and they make The Break-up Artist a pleasure to read. The movie references, especially to the romantic comedy genre, were clever and helped shape the book's style and narrative. I'm a big fan of romantic comedies (in the few cases when they are done well), and it was interesting to see the commentary on them. I am an adult and at times I found myself thinking that the characters were crazy...until I started to remember how it felt to be that age. Then (unfortunately) I could relate to a lot of what the characters said and thought. Some of the reviewers though Becca was ridiculously jaded, but I understood where she was coming from. It's really hard to be the one without a boyfriend, especially when we're taught by TV and movies that that's one of the biggest things that happens to teenagers, and that anyone who doesn't have that is abnormal. It's refreshing to see someone who rejects this so intensely, even though she is also wrong. It's a view we don't always see. Girls (and women) react to that pressure differently (dropping their friends, being obsessed with finding a boyfriend, etc.), and I liked seeing the ways that characters dealt with this. It was also interesting to get the male perspective--there's the nice nerd who wouldn't normally get the girl but just might in this case, the college-bound jock who you'd expect to want to break up with his girlfriend but doesn't, and the slimily serial monogamist who lines up his next girlfriend before breaking up with his current one. In this last case, I liked how the book showed that some males also have that need to be in a relationship and have that kind of attention.

Black Spring Audiobook by Alison Croggon

Title: Black Spring Author: Alison Croggon Narrator: Kim Hicks Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 51 mins Language: English Release date: 08-27-13 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Teens, Romance & Friendship Publisher's Summary: Inspired by the gothic classic Wuthering Heights, this stunning new fantasy from the author of the Books of Pellinor is a fiercely romantic tale of betrayal and vengeance. In a savage land sustained by wizardry and ruled by vendetta, Lina is the enchanting but willful daughter of a village lord. She and her childhood companion, Damek, have grown up privileged and spoiled, and they're devoted to each other to the point of obsession. But Lina's violet eyes betray her for a witch, and witches are not tolerated in a brutally patriarchal society. Her rank protects her from persecution, but it cannot protect her from tragedy and heartbreak. An innocent visitor stands witness to the devastation that ensues as destructive longing unleashes Lina's wrath, and with it her forbidden power. Whether drawn by the romantic, the magical, or the gothic, readers will be irresistibly compelled by the passion of this tragic tale. Members Reviews: No passion and boring characters What would have made Black Spring better? Lots of things, for example if she would have stopped presenting us 2 dimensional characters. My main problem is that this story is not inspired by Wuthering Heights, it is Wuthering Heights, just with a less interesting story, less complex characters and far less well written. The story offered me nothing new. We live in a world of wizards and witches but nothing in the writing gives you the impression of such a thing. There is no magic in this book, just a reason to get to a very expected plot twist. Our characters had no motivation: what was the reason for Ezra's hate? Why did Lina refuse to run? Who did she love and why? Nothing was explained, but in the end you don't really care which is in a way fine, but also bad because a story should make you care. Also, her daughter was so insignificant it enraged me to no end. Like I said, a shorter, worse version of Wuthering Heights. What could Alison Croggon have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? Maybe next time the author can write her own story and not a plot line from another book and just insert a few extra elements to make it look like a new story. It looked and sounded fake. What three words best describe Kim Hickss voice? Boring. I'm trying not to judge her here, the story was incredible boring as well so maybe it's not her fault. You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? From an objective perspective the writing is above average, considering this is for the Young Adult gender. I've read some really bad YA so far with really stupid characters and average language, grammar mistakes and the sort. Not this case. Any additional comments? Maybe the author aimed too high. Blinded by her love for Wuthering Heights she thought she could write something to reach that masterpiece, but aimed for the younger ages. Unfortunately, I found the story boring and even infuriating at times because it copied so much from Wuthering Heights, but did it so wrong. Prefer it to Wuthering Heights Where does Black Spring rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? I enjoyed it. I'll admit it doesn't have the allure of a fast-paced story, as it reads like a good old-fashioned, "around-the-fire" kind of tale. I was still captivated, though I had to settle in for something a bit different than what I usually listen to...lately I've gone with edgier novels.

Title: Fallen in Love Author: Lauren Kate Narrator: Justine Eyre Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 41 mins Language: English Release date: 02-02-12 Publisher: Random House AudioBooks Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 16 votes Genres: Teens, Romance & Friendship Publisher's Summary: Unexpected. Unrequited. Forbidden. Eternal. Everyone has their own love story. And in a twist of fate, four extraordinary love stories combine over the course of a romantic Valentine's Day in Medieval England. Miles and Shelby find love where they least expect it. Roland learns a painful lesson about finding-and losing love. Arianne pays the price for a love so fierce it burns. And for the first -and last- time, Daniel and Luce will spend a night together like none other. Lauren Kate's Fallen in Love is filled with love stories the ones everyone has been waiting for. True love never says goodbye Members Reviews: Liked learning more about the Fallen characters Would you listen to Fallen in Love again? Why? Yes. I liked listening to the behind the scene love stories of characters in the book. You feel closer to the characters when you know their background stories and this helped me get more out of the other books in the Fallen series. Underwhelming I am fond of the Fallen series - books 1-3 go from strength to strength - but this book was disappointing. I take it these four love stories about key characters were written and released just in time for St Valentine's day. The first story about Miles and Shelby is corny and the least interesting. Unfortunately it doesn't get much better. Took me 5 years but I finished. It took me literally 5 years to get through reading the hard copies of the first 2 books. It just wasn't captivating me. But I finished them through audible and was glad I did. Narrator was great and kept me interested and involved. Finished and would actually recommend... surprisingly. meh after the great story of fallen i found this a bit of a non event and boring. i was hoping it would be more of daniel and luce after they found each other at college in the end. great book I can't believe Myles and shelby don't see just how great they'd be together :3 too cuute! ! little disappointed that I didn't get to hear Cams version of love :/ would have been nice

Rose has been waiting for years for Rob to kiss her - and when he finally does, its perfect. But then Juliet moves back to town. Juliet, who used to be Roses best friend. Juliet, who now inexplicably hates her. Juliet, who is gorgeous, vindictive, and a little bit crazy...and who has set her sights on Rob. He doesnt even stand a chance. Rose is devastated over losing Rob to Juliet. This is not how the story was supposed to go. And when rumors start swirling about Juliets instability, her neediness, and her threats of suicide, Rose starts to fear not only for Robs heart, but also for his life. Because Shakespeare may have gotten the story wrong, but we all still know how it ends. Members Reviews: It's Rosaline's Turn! This book is completely fantastic. It's been a while since I've read a Chick-Lit book quite like this one. Honestly. It ranks up near Scrambled Eggs at Midnight, Dream Factory, Anna and the French Kiss, and Lola and the Boy Next Door. Seriously. (If you haven't already heard, I'm completely in love with all of those books.) But it's totally different at the same time. When You Were Mine is from a completely different point of view. You watch "Romeo" fall in love with someone else, someone who is not Rosaline. (On a side note, what on earth were Rose and Julet's families thinking?? Naming their daughters Juilet and Rosaline??) And it's just like the party scene in the original Romeo and Juliet, Rob sees Juliet and everyone else is instantly forgotten, but instead of being swept away in this love story, you follow Rosaline's heartbreak. You see as her entire life starts to fall apart. But what would a strong heroine do without a love story of her own? I don't think Shakespeare ever would have expected this from his character who never even appears in his play, but When You Were Mine has definitely changed my entire opinion of the Romeo and Juliet love story. -Kit Readingteen.net Content: Profanity: Heavy Sexual Content: Moderate Violence: None For more info, check out When You Were Mine on Parentalbookreviews.com Number one book of 2013 I don't write a lot of reviews and I hesitated when it seemed it was a retelling of Romeo and Juliet but it wasn't really,I read the whole book in an hour,I couldn't put it down,I laughed and cried,I was cheering for some people and cringing from others,this book is AMAZING,there isn't a thing I would change about and although in the beginning I was cheering for one couple the author completely changed my mind,this book has it all-romance,suspense,secrets,tragedy,betrayal,and friendships being tested as they come of age,I highlighted half the book because the dialogue was that meaningful,if you only buy one kindle book make it this one!! Beautiful and Hopeful... âOlivia was right. The point of the choose your own adventure books was just that: Choice. It wasnât about where you ended up; it was about the decisions you made to get there. And I donât want to skip to the end anymoreââ â Rosaline, When You Were Mine If I could give this book 500 hearts I would, but my rating system only goes up to 5. Iâve read a lot of great books lately, but When You Were Mine by Rebecca Serle surpasses 95 percent of them. This book was amazing from start to finish.

Ghosts (because even famous people are ghosted by guys sometimes. And it sucks just as much.) Once Bitten (as in twice shy. Also, she's never dating an actor or a musician ever again.)

After getting her heart shattered, Lily is taking herself out of the spotlight and heading to a small island in middle-of-nowhere Maine with her closest friends. She has three months to focus on herself, her music, her new album. Anything but guys. That is...until Lily meets sweet, down-to-earth local Noel Bradley, who is so different from anyone she's ever dated. Suddenly, Lily's "summer of me" takes an unexpected turn, and she finds herself falling deeper and harder than ever before. But Noel isn't interested in the limelight. Lily loves Noel - but she loves her fans, too. And come August she may be forced to choose. I chose this. I get to make music and sing my songs and live my life in front of millions of people. I don't get to be normal. I'm just the fool who keeps trying. Members Reviews: If I was younger? Maybe if I was a teenager I would have liked this. The main character is very self-absorbed and trying to find the 'real' her.

Roomies Audiobook by Sara Zarr, Tara Altebrando

Title: Roomies Author: Sara Zarr, Tara Altebrando Narrator: Becca Battoe, Emily Eiden Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 55 mins Language: English Release date: 01-15-14 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 14 votes Genres: Teens, Romance & Friendship Publisher's Summary: When Elizabeth receives her freshman-year roommate assignment at the beginning of summer, she shoots off an email to coordinate the basics: TV, microwave, mini-fridge. She can't wait to escape her New Jersey beach town, and her mom, and start life over in California. The first note to Lauren in San Francisco comes as a surprise; she had requested a single. But if Lauren's learned anything from being the oldest of six, it's that you can't always get what you want, especially when what you want is privacy. Soon the girls are emailing back and forth, sharing secrets even though they've never met. With family relationships and childhood friendships strained by change, it suddenly seems that the only people Elizabeth and Lauren can rely on are the complicated new boys in their lives...and each other. With humor and heart, Sara Zarr, National Book Award finalist for Story of a Girl, and Tara Altebrando, acclaimed author of The Pursuit of Happiness, join forces for a novel about that time after high school, when everything feels like it's ending just as it's beginning. Members Reviews: I wish there were a sequel When incoming Berkeley freshmen Lauren and Elizabeth get roommate notifications, they begin an email relationship sharing their vulnerabilities, fears and drama before the first day of college. Though ROOMIES started slow, I fell in love with both young women, their triumphs and struggles and I didnât want the book to end. I felt that impending dread of missing Lauren and Elizabeth, wishing for a sequel. Bestselling writers Sara Zarr and Tara Altebrando each penned a different POV, alternating chapters between the girls. I connected more with Elizabeth, although she was the more flawed character. Daughter of a single, often neglectful mother and absent father, she struggled to connect with both. As under-involved her parents, Lauren, the eldest of six kids, was drowning in family responsibilities. I loved how her parents connected with her and were mindful about giving her independence. More a character study than plot heavy, I usually favor stories with more twists and turns, ROOMIES kept me interested, more so with each page. I already miss Elizabeth and Lauren. The Summer After High School Graduation 3 1/2 stars At the end of June Elizabeth from New Jersey and Lauren from San Francisco receive their roommate assignment letters from the University of Berkeley. Elizabeth an only child who lives with her divorced mother immediately sends off an email to Lauren to introduce herself. They begin a friendship though emails that also allows them to be sounding boards where they tell each other things they don't tell their friends in person. If Elizabeth didn't send the first email Lauren probably wouldn't have ever sent it because she is so busy taking care of her 5 younger siblings all under the age of 5 or maybe it's under the age of 7. The books covers the excitement of preparing to go off to college and being on your own but also the sadness of leaving best friends and family behind and also leaving your first important love behind.. The chapter are labeled San Francisco and New Jersey so we know which girl is speaking. I think this book will speak to a lot of high school girls going through the similar circumstances. I liked the way each girl would sometimes rewrite her email or sometimes hit send without thinking.

I PERSONALLY DIDNT FIND IT EXCITING. ITS NOT A BAD BOOK AND ITS EASY TO LISTEN TO BUT I JUST WANT A LITTLE MORE. AFTER LISTENING TO THE SAMPLE I GAVE THE BOOK A CHANCE BUT DIDNT REALIZE THE SAMPLE THEY GAVE WAS AT THE END OF THE BOOK. IT CHANGE MY WHOLE PERSPECTIVE. THE THINGS THAT I DID LIKE ABOUT THIS BOOK WAS THE MAIN CHARACTERS. THE NARRATOR DID A GREAT JOB WITH THE MALE VOICES. I DON KNOW IF I WILL BE LISTENING TO THIS BOOK AGAIN BUT I WILL THE THE SECOND BOOK IN THE SERIES A CHANCE BEFORE I COMPLETELY GIVE UP ON IT. Light Read/Good Narration The story had potential but was superficial and predictable. That sounds like I didn't like it but I thought it was fine as long as your expectations aren't too high. It was entertaining and some of the characters were very likable. The problem was that there wasn't enough background either in the majority of the characters and the history of the shifters. It was also annoying that "humans" were referred to as "statics". It was disappointing that the author didn't put more effort into it. Great new series! Would you listen to Moonlight again? Why? This story is one I would listen to again and again because all the characters are so unique. Who was your favorite character and why? Kayla, because she has to take a lot in about her heritage in a short time and make a decision that will mold her destiny. What three words best describe Julia Whelans performance? Diverse, Sweet, Adventerous Good listen! I love weres and this was not disappointing! I am excited to see where this one goes with all the other characters and the tension between the evil scientist and the shifter community!! I thoroughly enjoyed the narrator. She was great with voices which dramatized it into a fun story.!

When 17-year-old Rory McShane steps off the bus in East Hampton, it's as if she's entered another universe - one populated by impossibly beautiful people wearing pressed khakis and driving expensive cars. She's signed on to be a summer errand girl for the Rules, a wealthy family with an enormous beachfront mansion, and maybe to sneak in some beach time. Upon arrival, she's warned by other staff members to keep her head down and to avoid socializing with the family, but Rory soon learns that may be easier said than done. Feeling claustrophobic in her country-club world, the youngest and most impulsive Rule child, 17-year-old Isabel, embarks on a breathless summer romance that her family would never approve of. Isabel has decided that this is the summer for taking chances, and she's bringing Rory along for the ride. The girls forge a true friendship, but when long-hidden secrets start to surface and Rory reveals that she has feelings for someone, too - Connor Rule, Isabel's older brother--their relationship is put to the test. Members Reviews: Five Stars Loved it Fun Summer reading This is a story of a wealthy, dysfunctional family who spends the Summer at their resort home. The teenage daughter is looking for love, understanding, and friends. It is light reading and just fun. I enjoyed not having to think critically or understand a deep concept. I enjoyed it! Loved this book! Joanna Philbin makes Rules of Summer such an enjoyable, fresh, entertaining novel. I was totally hooked by the first few pages & couldn't wait to find "my time" to escape to the Hamptons with Rory! I was so excited to know the sequel "Since Last Summer" is already available so I could go right to her next book! I felt like I was spending time in the Hamptons. This story took me back to my young college coed years. I never had a chance to spend time in the Hamptons, but felt like I was there as I read Joanna Philbin's novel. She is an accomplished storyteller. Good book Great summer read! Enjoyed the book and look forward to the next one. Already bought the sequel. This is my first time to read Joanna Philbin

But after hearing her son's heartbeat for the first time, she doesn't know how she'll ever be able to let go. Members Reviews: Easy Listen. What did you love best about Because I Love You? I like best about this book because it talks a great deal about feelings, Have you listened to any of Megan Solesskis other performances before? How does this one compare? I believe this is the first time I have listened to a Megan Solesski narration. She does a great job. Her Male voices really sound male and the women's voices sound different for each character. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? Their were several. This book is a very moving book. Any additional comments? This audiobook was provided by the author/narrator/publisher free of charge in exchange for an unbiased review. realism and thought provoking. It is very easy to lose yourself in this emotional roller coaster. The characters all feel real and their situations are not farfetched. I can see some of myself in these characters. It may be why this story hits me so much.

And when Nicholas Drake is torn between saving his little sister, Solange, or his girlfriend Lucy, who will he choose? Members Reviews: Should have been 3 stars but I love the series I love the series and couldn't wait to continue with Lucy, Nicholas and Solange but the cliffhanger came too soon in a story that was all over the place, and consequently this is a disappointing book. However there is something about the Drake Family and the characters they attract that grab you and keep you reading and I didn't have the heart to give it three stars. I have to be honest and say that I did come very close. The POVs were a little too hard and fast, nothing is resolved and though most of the time we don't mind as reality dictates lives that way but the whole book is unresolved issues,and most of the time we don't really understand the point of the issue. Where was the plot in this as the novel seemed like a filler until the next one. The novel was also far too short and thus so small in face of the big cliffhanger. Of course the author needs a hook for the next book but give us something for this one. Well, to be fair she does in the form of a bonus story about Liam and Helen. Nice although the characters were difficult to recognise but to be fair they had the excuse that they were also very young at the time. Perhaps that story could have been woven in through out Blood Moon as it does seem to mirror Lucy and Nicholas and their relationship, and this would have given more body to the book. Over all I would have rathered more meat, or should I say more blood at this particular time in the Drake Chronicles. Sad This Series Is Almost Over! Oh my, what can I say about this one? I couldn't wait to read this after the last one ended. The cliffhanger was pretty brutal and left me on the edge of my seat. Unfortunately even though I love this series, I just didn't find the time to read it until now, even though I got this one the day it released. I am so glad I finally was able to make time for it. As always, Harvey delivered and came through for me with yet another action packed exciting read that again, left me on the edge of my seat and wanting more. I was a little cautious going into this one, I won't lie. With the way the last one ended and with Solange acting all vampy, well, to put it mildly, I wasn't too sure I would even like her anymore after reading this one and I really really wanted to like her still. I love all the Drakes and their yumminess (Okay so that isn't a real word, tough, I'm using it). But let's not get to Solange just yet, first let's talk about Lucy. I adore Lucy. She is such a great character, so head strong and quirky and yes, a smart a&$ but I love her for it. She is one feisty girl that can hang with vamps and not only see them for the kindness some of them have but still be strong enough to kick their butts when they are being bad and hunt them down if their killers. Yep, she is pretty kick butt. Nicholas, oh how I love thee more each book. Yep, we get not only Lucy's POV in this one but Nicholas' too (and Solange, but again, I will discuss her later).

With no parents, no rules, and an entire city to explore, these three girls are on the verge of the best summer of their lives. Sadie is a native New Yorker. She is hopeful, romantic, and an eternal optimist who is ready to find her soul mate. Then she meets her dream boy: cute, funny, and quirky in all the right ways. The chemistry between them is unreal. Could he be the one? Darcy is a free spirit from SoCal with rebellious tendencies and unlimited financial resources. Moving to New York City is just another adventure for her. Darcy wants this summer to be all about boy adventuresnothing serious. But how much fun is too much? Rosanna leaves Chicago for NYC so she can put her past behind her and reinvent herself. The only thing standing in her way is the grand total of seventy-three cents she has saved. Then she meets a guy who wants to show her the glamorous side of New Yorka side that she would never get to experience on her own. If Rosanna doesn't resist, she may find herself in city love. Told from alternating points of view, City Love, the first title in Susane Colasanti's new series, captures the moments in each girl's life when everything is thrilling, amazing, and terrifying all at once . . . in a way it will never be again. Members Reviews: I want to like this series I really do but the first book ... I want to like this series I really do but the first book is kind of a turn off. I mean yes it is well written but the overall storyline kind of annoyed me. I mean Iâm disappointed in the insta-love in this book, since itâs not what Susane Colasanti normally does. Most of these girls have only been with these guys for a week and yet they already think they are madly in love? I think the Sadie character was the worse when it came to that, and if the predictable twist didnât happen I would have been more upset, Iâm only disappointed it didnât happen sooner so I wouldnât have had to endure pages of her swooning over Austin. Yes, I know insta-love is in YA books but Susane Colasanti normally builds up the relationships of the characters in her books and donât have girls think they are so in love in a weekâs time period. Another thing that bothers me was the lack of a B plot, the girls seem to be falling in love but thatâs about it. Another reason that Iâm surprised that this kind of thing came from this author since sheâs usually good at balancing the B plot with the love story but in this book the girls donât seem to have much going on other than their love lives. I would have loved for them to elaborate more of their problems outside of that. The only one who seemed to have anything close to a B plot is Rosanna since she seems to be struggling financially but they rarely mention that except for when sheâs going âWhoa itâs meâ every now and then or comparing her finances with that of her insta-love boyfriend D and even when itâs mentioned that something major happened to her in the past, thatâs kind of downplayed as well. Plus I also think that the whole encounter with Addison is connected to her new boyfriend but thatâll have to wait until the next book I guess.

Title: A Tragic Kind of Wonderful Author: Eric Lindstrom Narrator: Katherine Mangold Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 18 mins Language: English Release date: 12-29-16 Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Limited Genres: Teens, Romance & Friendship Publisher's Summary: The heart-rending and inspiring novel from the critically acclaimed author of Not If I See You First. How can you have a future if you can't accept your past? Mel Hannigan doesn't have it easy. Mourning the death of her firework of a brother, trying to fit back into a school she's been conspicuously absent from and struggling to deal with the loss of three friendships that used to mean everything. Struggling to deal with a condition that not even her closest friends know about. So Mel tries to lock away her heart, to numb the highs and lows, to live quietly without hope - but also without pain. Until someone new shows her that it can be worth taking a risk, that opening up to life is what can make it glorious.... And that maybe Mel can discover a tragic kind of wonderful of her very own. Critic Reviews: Praise for Not If I See You First: "Gorgeous, romantic, heart-rending." (Maximum Pop!) "Not If I See You First is thoughtful and honest, with characters that made me laugh, cry, and surprised me at every turn. It's a book I'll recommend for years to come." (Kody Keplinger, author of The Duff and cofounder of Disability in KidLit) Members Reviews: Maybe a bit too much attempted, but a darn good read. Right from the opening page, you begin wondering just what in heck happened to Mel Hanniganâs older brother Nolan. You know heâs dead and that the fallout included her parents getting divorced and she and her mother moving 100 miles away, but what really happened is dribbled into the rest of the story like sand slipping through an emotional hourglass. Mel has bipolar disorder, the rapid cycling kind and is further afflicted with what is called Dysphoric Mania-strong depression with accompanying manic energy, a condition that can be scary and lethal. Sheâs just lost a year of her life, along with the three friends who saved her after the move. Her obsessive need/belief that hiding her illness is necessary in order to have any life or friends essentially cost her those friends and her rigidity surrounding her feelings toward them and her fear about coming clean, create an invisible prison that just seems to exacerbate her denial. It isnât until she finds a boy, David, whose grandmother is moving into the assisted living facility where she works part time and they start to connect, that the rigidity starts showing cracks. How it eventually crumbles takes readers through intense pain, a few scary situations and some teeth gritting over Melâs refusal to let go of certain beliefs and behaviors. The author may have tried packing too many scenes and ideas into the story, but as a former mental health professional who worked with teens, I found it a darn good read and one worth handing to young adults struggling with emotional issues or who have friends who are. I loved Eric's book Not If I See You First & ... I loved Eric's book Not If I See You First & I adored this book also. Eric's writing is awesome and I recommend this book to anyone. An Emotional and Realistic Novel with Amazing Characters This review originally appeared on herestohappyendings.com. In A Tragic Kind of Wonderful, we get a look into a sixteen year old girlâs life as she deals with bipolar disorder.

The first day of college gives every girl a chance to reinvent herself. I go and screw mine up by meeting the most gorgeous guy I've seen in five years while talking to my cat. But Andrew Crowner is far from judgmental. By the end of our interaction, he has me smitten by his easy manner and kind smile. And from the way his eyes linger on me before he leaves, I start to think that maybe I've caught his attention, too. I let myself believe that luck may finally be on my side. That is, until I stumble on my roommate, and her overnight guest: Spencer Ashford. Lean, tattooed, and sexy as sin, Spencer is exactly the type I need to avoid. I would have no trouble with that... were it not for his swift and inexplicable interest in me. Suddenly, I go from a girl with next-to-no experience with boys to one caught in the crosshairs of two completely different men. Andrew's interest is wholesome and sweet. Spencer's is edgy and raw. My choice should be easy. But there are always complications, and sometimes, matters of the heart take the least expected turns. Members Reviews: Horrible narrator!

He's an Amish college student, breaking the rules. They're so right, it's wrong. Marigold, a recent high school graduate with a shady past, is looking to redefine herself. She doesn't know what she wants exactly, but college isn't it. When she meets Abel, an Amish guy on rumspringa, his "running around" time, she doesn't plan on falling for someone wearing a straw hat and suspenders. But she can't help it, Abel is the breath of fresh air she's been waiting for. Abel, who's moved to the city for a summer program at Jamestown, never imagined Marigold would be drawn to the life he was trying so hard to avoid. His family expects him to take over the family farm; college parties and dorm life don't quite fit in with their plans for him. Opposites attract, but nothing is easy with love. When they trade places for the summer they learn a life together isn't as for sure and certain as they thought. Members Reviews: I loved everything about this story! I read and listen to a LOT of Amish and/or contemporary fiction. I loved the way Anya Monroe wove both genres into one story. The depth of Marigold's character isn't seen in the first part of the book and you get to see her as she blossoms into a young lady who knows who she really is. Piper Brown did a great job as narrator. Her voices truly show her love of the characters and how they react to the problems they face. This is a book that I will For Sure & Certain(ly) listen to again! Good listen even for the younger set! Where does For Sure & Certain rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? For Sure & Certain ranks in the middle of audiobooks I have listened to. It was a nice easy listen. What was one of the most memorable moments of For Sure & Certain? When Marigold tells her parents of her decision. What does Piper Brown bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Piper Brown brought feeling to the story which may not have come through if you were just reading it. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? I cried when Able signs out of school only to find Marigold is at home. Any additional comments? This audiobook was provided by the author/narrator/publisher free of charge in exchange for an unbiased review. Excellent Storytelling What did you like best about this story? I liked how real the characters were. These young adults share their insecurities and take you on an amazing journey at finding out who they were, who they are and who they want to be. What does Piper Brown bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Piper Brown was did an excellent job bringing the various characters to life. Her narration was spot on. Her pacing, style of storytelling, it was music to my ears! If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Great question. I don't know, but I can definitely see this turned into a movie. Any additional comments? I received a copy of this audiobook from the author via audiobookblast in exchange for an unbiased review. I am happy to add both the author and the narrator to my favorites list. Great Narration for a Sweet Story If you could sum up For Sure & Certain in three words, what would they be? Sweet, Simple, and Complete. Who was your favorite character and why? Abel.

Life can change in an instant, and no one understands that better than Aura. Its been almost a year since her boyfriend died tragically. Shes finally letting go of Logans violet-hued ghost, but not her search to uncover the truth about her past. As the first in a generation that can see ghosts, Aura is convinced she has a connection to the Shift. Shes trusted Zachary, ever patient and ever by her side, with all that she knows. But when the government threatens his life in an attempt to learn Auras secrets, she will stop at nothing to protect herself and the one she loves even if that means betraying her own heart. Members Reviews: Shine #3 Spoilers (kind of) I finally finish this book, it took me almost three years to finish this book LMFAO. Like I bought this book in 2014, started on it in 2014 and stopped reading the book and bought it on audible still bored. Lol! Because the book was so LONG I wasn't able to finish it. And here in December 2016 the day after Christmas I finally finish it. Smh! Good book though, I felt so bad for Zachary because he been through hell and back from being captured, to being let go to being stabbed twice, run away to being shot. Like he couldn't catch a break. My heart was racing, while listening to this book on audible. I'm like he better not die. Glad he didn't because I would've been one mad girl lol. PS: The narrator did a good job with narrating the story. Meech13 I enjoyed the book as much as, I did the first. It was excellent! Although, I need to admit that I became a bit too emotionally involved during the first chapter! (having connected with the characters in the first book), I imagine myself throwing the imaginary book against the wall! ...but, thankfully I continued and grateful I did. I think she's a wonderful writer and I cannot wait to read her other books. Great Ending to the Trilogy I'm not a big YA read/listener but the team of Jeri Smith-Ready and Khristine Hvam made this non-YA fan very happy! Excellent ending to a good series If you could sum up Shine in three words, what would they be? Decent love story What other book might you compare Shine to and why? Same flavor as the Mortal Instruments series by Casandra Clare. Not in plot, but in intensity and character development.. the love story components have a similar flavor of struggle to them Which scene was your favorite? the struggle with the locals when they are tied down and they both almost die. That wasn't even part of the main plot, but it fit right in and scared me a bit to think they might actually die. I love that....the unexpected and when an author is not afraid to kill of characters or at least make you think that. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? All of the chase scenes were pretty intense and there were quite a few. You think they're safe only to have another problem come up. The inner struggles of her boyfriend in dealing with his father dying and his own imprisonment... deep for a YA. The Love story is pretty powerful to. It's an interesting view on the afterlife. Any additional comments? Really good resolution to a good YA paranormal love story.

But when he meets a new group of friends who are every bit as geek as they are chic, his luck seems to be changing. Each of the group is talented, and when they pool together to create Generation Next, an incredible new kind of social media platform, it's clear that they're on to something special. What if your Instagram account grew by hundreds of thousands of followers overnight, and big companies were fighting each other to offer you photo shoots? When GenNext suddenly goes viral, Jack and his friends are thrust into a crazy world of fame that is as terrifying as it is awesome. Because someone out there is determined to trip Jack up at every step. If he doesn't stop them, soon everyone he cares about - his friends, his family, and the girl he's falling for - will be in danger. Critic Reviews: "Generation Next is an easy but exciting read. It is mature, funny and romantic all at once." (Santa Fe New Mexican) "Love, family, cyberbullying, and illness...amazing...may remind readers of novels by John Green." (Orlando Sentinel ) Members Reviews: Five Stars The book was so good! For sure going to read again and again! For teenages Purchsed for Daughter, see liked it. Great Read! I've been really excited to read Generation Next for a while now, and I finally got around to purchasing it, and I couldn't have been more pleased to read it! Accompanied by a sleeping cat, I managed to finish the entire book in the course of a day. The matter that in the past, I've been quite the picky reader, and I'm not all that big on Teen Fiction or of the sort, I was intrigued to find how immersed I was the entire time. I can't say that it was what I expected it to be, because it definitely wasn't. I consider myself a relatively big fan of Oli White, but (no offense to Oli at all; ily) I wasn't really sure what to find- my expectations were quite low. But after having read it, I can testify that Generation Next exceeded all expectations. :) If anyone is sceptical about reading this book, get it already, turn on your slow alternative station (or whatever taste of music you have) and I promise you won't regret it! Especially for those who are fans like me, it was definitely enjoyable to see Oli as a person reflected upon the writing (because I definitely saw quite a bit of Oli in Jack the entire time, and in all the characters, really). I found it super cute and relatable the entire time- could even have a good laugh every now and then. Glad I took the time to read it! ~ Pleasantly Surprised I have been a fan of Oli White for a while. I honestly thought it wouldn't be too great because he is a youtuber, not a writer. Oli blew my expectations out of the water. It has an amazing plot and I can't put the book down. Whether you're a fan of Oli or not, you should read this book. Review The writing was great. I felt as I were in the story. It was well written and very entertaining and suspenseful

Together they will be forced to confront mankind's darkest creation. Members Reviews: Not bad It sounds like I'm back in high school. The word usage sounds like what my teacher would suggest, big descriptive words that don't really match the story. Even the speaker, while good, sounds like someone reading to me. I can get past all that, but personally I like at least one character in first person. I don't feel I got to know either character.

Now, Joy must pretend to be Ink's chosen one - his helper, his love, his something for the foreseeable future...and failure to be convincing means a painful death for them both. Swept into a world of monsters, illusion, immortal honor and revenge, Joy discovers that sometimes, there are no mistakes. Members Reviews: blech What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? This needed a better narrator What was most disappointing about Dawn Metcalfs story? There was so little research into folklore done for this, they fey in this story were just a vehicle for a sad plot. How did the narrator detract from the book? Seriously woman, stop trying to make up voices, you just made the characters sound like little girls trying to make up voices. All of the characters wound up sounding effete and ridiculous. If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Indelible? All of them?

However I did find myself easily distracted from this audiobook. There were riviting portions to this story. Hated the cliff hanger ending. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. Terrific tale of teenage struggles & love! A great story of being a teenager in love and all of the struggles of going through that age leading up to adulthood. Reading this book brought me back to all of the feelings that I had growing up. The author did a wonderful job of tapping into all of those emotions that you feel as a teenager and especially as a teenager in love. The added twist of dealing with immigration problems puts another dimension in the story. It is a very enjoyable book. Sad and sweet teen romance. Sweet story with a lot of teen angst. I liked the characters very much. I would like to see this story continued. I voluntarily reviewed this audio book after receiving an advanced copy that I requested. Sweet, lovely story This was my first time reading or listening to a book by this author. Personally I was not to fond of the narrator. As the female perspective the narrator was fine, but when talking in the male perspective I couldn't get myself to like how the narrator made him sound. The story part was lovely and sweet and I will definitely give book 2 a shot. Victoria Palmer's Review. a wonderful dramatic romance with hrart. I. thoroughly enjoyed it. Perfect for all tomance lovers.

Three years since her family moved to Texas, she's still the newcomer compared to everyone around her. It doesn't help matters when her twin brother, Dante, takes on the mayor's son by running for class president. The least she could expect, though, would be for her boyfriend, Jesse, to support their cause. But Jesse's apparent defection triggers Giovanna's rash emotional side, and before she knows it, she's turned Jesse from the boy of her dreams to the exboyfriend she dreams of winning back. ©2007 Janette Rallison; (P)2008 Penguin Members Reviews: to try and find ones like it. You know how there are some books ... The book that got me down the rabbit-hole again...to try and find ones like it. You know how there are some books that make you feel some kind of way and then there are books that you can just read over and over again? This one is the latter. So here is the sitch: Last summer I went to one of the libraries I frequent and saw this book featured in âbeach readsâ and I wanted something light for my head after so much studying for an exam. The title kind of turned me off as it looked like the title of some dumb hollywood movie (but honestly the only thing that makes it like that is the name) It looked like a quick easy read and while it was, it was also something else. You know how all those girls drool over the Edward guy from Twilight. Heâs chocolate cake, he looks good but honestly is really junk food reading. This right here is something that looks like junk food but is actually nutritious somehow. The main character is lovable and sarcastic (mainly in her head though) and cute and her boyfriend is actually just as lovable and cute and you know one of the good guys that wants whatâs best for her, you know the kind of guy girls want after theyâve been through the âfantasy guyâ. I bit the bullet and bought it off of Kindle even though Iâd rather have a paper copy as I donât have enough room for it, but one day I will buy the paper copy and hopefully read it to my daughter as an example of what a good guy is like. Iâve read almost all her other books too now and yeah they are funny and cute too but not as good as this one. Four Stars Item as described. Would buy from again. Thank you! Great Book I thought this was an amazing book. It told about a high school drama and sometimes you just have to keep on going to find your happy ending. love it i like giovanna and jesse's relationship he tried so hard to do something nice without giovanna even knowing about it so giovanna not understanding that he was doing something nice for her until later in the book breaks up with him then decides she wants him back i loved this book definitely a fun read. A cute read My rating on the book is 3.5. I was a cute story with a few nice twists at the end.

Seventeen-year-old Tayla Jonas longs for a simple life, but after a traumatizing family loss she is forced to be both mother and sister to her cousins while caring for her mentally unstable aunt. Moving to her grandma's quiet town of Cody, Wyoming, Tayla finds some normalcy with her quirky green-activist friend, Chel, who wastes no time converting her to vegetarianism. After a few weeks at her new school, Tayla catches the eye of Kyle Harrington, the high school quarterback and resident millionaire who can seduce any girl with his charismatic charm, including Tayla. But Kyle is anything but what he seems. An ancient curse has her in its crosshairs, and a powerful werewolf claims her. Dismayed by the prospect of a werewolf for a shadow, Tayla fears for the safety of her friends and family. How will she keep the werewolf's insatiable hunger in check? Her plans for a vegetarian lifestyle quickly dwindle away, and Tayla wrestles to fit her frazzled life back together piece by piece. But what she didn't expect was her attraction to the werewolf or the power of the full moon. Will Tayla be strong enough to survive the curse of the beast? Or will it consume her like so many before? Find out in the first installment of this unique retelling of Beauty and the Beast. A clean young-adult paranormal romance. Members Reviews: High school girl and wolf in the woods The book was okay, it was just a tad boring. Honestly, the writing was subpar to the other retellings I have read in this genre. Mostly, it lacked an emotional pull for me. I wanted to like Beast as an anti-hero but I wasn't sure if he was supposed to be her man or her dad because it got a little weird during the unraveling of her family tree. for a beauty and the beast retelling, I wasn't feeling the love at all. They weren't enemies, but they didn't connect for most of the book either. I will read book 2 before I decide about the series. BTW, I liked the song at the end of the audio that the author wrote. Enticing twist on a classic tale! I really enjoyed this story! It kept me engaged and entertained throughout. I look forward to reading the next book to see how the story ends!!! Great PG rated Beauty and the Beast retelling Any additional comments? I love fairy tale retellings, but I am a VERY picky reader. That said, this book went beyond my expectations. I would never have thought to put Beauty and the Beast in a paranormal setting--with werewolves. It makes sense when you stop to consider the possibilities, but the author has not only woven werewolf legends into the story, but has also brought them into the foreground in a way that the reader can appreciate the depth and complexity of the plot. This novel opens with a prologue--a werewolf legend (in 3rd person) as it is happening in the past. This legend becomes key to the rest of the book. It then jumps back to fist person with Tayla, at a high school football game, but Tayla is no cheerleader, although she is pursued by the football star and small town millionaire--Kyle--throughout much of the book. I loved that Tayla was a vegetarian, especially when she ended up hanging out with a werewolf. Much of the humor came from this character's quirk.

While Seth's working tirelessly to flush out the sadistic drug peddlers that have invaded the small town of Port Fare, New York, Maggie's fighting to stay alive as the fight turns deadly. Members Reviews: Unabridged...A LIE Any additional comments? I just have to say that I love this series, it is probably one of my all time favorites. But I am saddened by the fact that there are things missing from the audio book. They say it is an Unabridged version but it is not. Chapter Two cuts off right in the middle of a sentence and then you miss about five pages, and it starts back up at Chapter Three. This makes me angry because as I have said that is one of my favorite books and I was really wanting to be able to listen to it while I am doing other things. But unfortunately in order to have the whole thing I have to pause what I am listening to and go and read the part that are missing. And then return to the audio in hopes that it doesn't happen again. I have only made it to Chapter Three and am hoping beyond hope that this does not happen throughout the whole book because that will make me very sad and upset. It would be nice for this to be fixed because this is truly a wonderful story and one worth reading or listing too. Long very long drawn out The story is extremely long. very drawn out, focusing really on one subject matter. The character build up it's well done great secondary characters. For me it was just a little too boring.

And I'm especially not a big fan of two main characters who have the exact same personality being written in the first person. The beginning of this book had me completely confused. I wondered why they sometimes called her Najwa, and other times they called her Zayele, and why the writer kept switching back from her being trained as a Jinni and her being at home wondering why the Viziar has come calling. Until I got to the part where Zayele was shipped off to Baghdad, I did not even realize these were two different people. And what do you know, when the two meet on the barge to Baghdad, low and behold, they look exactly alike. So, I have to ding the book a couple of stars for not being clear, and for writing both characters in the first person in a way that just caused confusion. Otherwise, the storyline was okay, but I doubt I will read any following books in the series. I preorder in paperback because it was only $5 and really enjoyed the entire story I'm surprised I hadn't heard more about this book when it first released. I preorder in paperback because it was only $5 and really enjoyed the entire story. The first 50 pages were slow only because it took sometime to get used to all the names and who was who but after that the story quickly escalated and you're caught up in a world of jinni, prince & princess and wishes. I loved Najwa's story and her admiration of the prince from afar. I thought we got a true glimpse of Zayele on the beach with Atish, hopefully we get to see more of her true self in The Blind Wish. I love the magical world created and I'm looking forward to finding out more in book two. I'm hoping for more romance and the war to be settled. Can't wait for the sequel! On my quest for diversity in literature, I discovered a blog post about a white woman named Amber Lough who grew up in the Middle East and Japan, and then wrote a fantasy book about characters from that area, called The Fire Wish. Could a middle-aged white woman really do justice to a book about Arab teenagers in the desert? She seemed to have done her research, and I was willing to give it a shot. After all, who doesnât like a book about genies? Djinn? Jinn? In this book: Jinn. Well, even if you arenât a big fan of the topic, I strongly suggest you give this book a chance. The Plot: Zayele is a headstrong young teenager living in a small village three daysâ travel away from Baghdad, in a time long before electronics. She is chosen, against her will, to be a princeâs bride in an act of good faith between the tribe and the palace.

Title: Breathe Author: Elena Dillon Narrator: Roxana Bell Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 20 mins Language: English Release date: 11-20-13 Publisher: Elena Dillon Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Teens, Romance & Friendship Publisher's Summary: Jasmine's life wasn't normal for a 16-year-old girl. It hadn't been normal since the murder of her older sister, Daisy, two years ago. Her life had been changed forever. The monster that murdered Daisy was never caught. That was the reason her family decided to move away from their hometown in Southern California, to start over. Hopefully in a place where the last name Rourke wouldn't bring on staring or judgment or morbid curiosity. In Lafayette, Louisiana things are quite a bit different but in a good way. Good manners, Cajun accents and a whole lot of Southern Hospitality all make her think things are going in the right direction. On top of that the most gorgeous boy she has ever met is interested in her. Her new friends are better than she could have hoped for even if she is worried about what they might think when they find out who she is. Life would be perfect if odd things didn't keep happening. Creepy phone calls, texts, and flowers in her locker start adding up quickly to something terrifying. Could the Monster have followed them to Lafayette? Was he coming after her this time? Maybe she was just worrying unnecessarily...or not. Members Reviews: Breathe is spellbinding! This is my first YA experience and I truly loved it! Author Elena Dillon captured my attention with her 16-year-old heroine, Jasmine--a heartfelt portrayal of someone dealing with the murder of her older sister and starting over in a new home/state with her mom and twin younger siblings. Dillon knows how to nail teenage characterization and dialogue. The suspenseful plot unfolded with perfect pacing, weaving around a wonderfully romantic new relationship with the charming high school football player, Easton. Narrator Roxana Bell did an amazing job with the audio version of Breathe! I am a bit picky about narrators having an engaging voice and realistic vocal performance. Too often I have hated over-dramatizations, unable to get past the first pages. Thankfully, Roxana kept me riveted to the suspenseful storyline as well as enjoying the sibling pranks and sweet young romance. I will be looking for more from Elena Dillon AND from Roxana Bell!

Lindsay has never been on a cruise, but she knows exactly what she wants to do now that she is: climb a waterfall, snorkel, meet lots of cute guys, and look for one perfect guy for a summer fling. But her to-do list isn't going according to plan, especially when she discovers that it's impossible to have a fling - when you're actually falling in love. Members Reviews: Very YA, but lots of fun If you want to escape on a cruise for a little while and live out what your spring break "fantasy" would have looked like: you'll want to listen to this book. Fun characters, young love and angst, beautiful destinations, and a fairly accurate account of what you may encounter on a cruise ship(in terms of people, food, entertainment etc). I read this book as a teenager on repeat. The main character got a way better kiss than I ever did on a boat. Listening to it again as an adult reminds me that young love is great love and cruise ships are still highly romantic.

Roeder Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 14 votes Genres: Teens, Romance & Friendship Publisher's Summary: Cedi, an 18-year-old British import to the town of Blackford, Indiana, is determined to be a rock star. No one quite knows what to make of the new wild boy with his blue hair and overpowering - enthusiasm - not the jocks he torments in revenge, nor his new friends Toby and Orlando. Cedi is certain of his future until his path crosses that of Thad, a tall, dark, older man who tells Cedi he has no talent. Cedi is infuriated, but intrigued. He becomes obsessed with Thad, who wants nothing to do with him. Cedi isn't about to give up, however, and wedges his way into Thad's life. Cedi finds himself caught between his love for Thad and his dream. Just when he has what he thinks he wants, his adventure truly begins. Members Reviews: His writing is fantastic, and once I pick up any of his ... I'm addicted to all of Mark Roeder's books. His writing is fantastic, and once I pick up any of his books I can't stop reading them. I'm only getting 5 hours of sleep per night because of it. I've now spent hundreds of dollars just to get the next book in his stories... I can't get enough. I like this audiobook I like the fact that a higher adult male voice was chosen for this narration. Adam Dunn was the perfect man for this narration. I liked the fact that this is another teenage gay novel by Mark Roeder. I liked Adam Dunn's British accent of Cedi. This must be short for Cedric. I liked the way the town of Blackford, Indiana was described as a backwater. He wants to be a rock star for that band called Phantom. He meets a book writer called Thad. I like the fact that . Cedi is a New Star for Roeder This book introduces a new town for Roeder's focus, Blackford, Indiana, somewhere in the southern part of that state. Like the Verona crew, it is focused upon students at the local high school, some interesting, some cruel (inevitably jocks, though like in Verona, some of the heros are also jocks), some interesting. It also introduces an outstanding new character, Cedi, sort of a combination of Jordan and Ross from Roeder's rock band "Phantom." Cedi is a British teenagere who has moved to the US to live with his aunt. He is full of energy, life, creativity, moxie/guts, a real fireball. He is apparently great looking, potentially obnoxious, and arty. He also aspires to be a rock star. When disaster strikes while he is at a Phantom concert, he gets his chance and, thanks to the timely intervention of his boyfriend, he takes advantage of it. I adored Cedi and liked some of the other characters in this book. I look forward to how Roeder moves this plot line along in future books, though I begin to think he will match Cedi with Ross, instead of having Ross match up with his real true-mate: Jordan (Ross will benefit from being paired with Cedi vice Jordan). But, after all, Cedi has all the assets of Jordan (looks, sexiness, voice, musical presence, etc.) with some qualities Jordan does not have, e.g., courage under stress and a defiant, cocky "I don't give a damn what you think" approach to almost everything. If you're into Roeder, I can recommend that you read this one. Headline M/M Fun For Every Gay Peter Pan fan Okay, but not great. Try one of mark roeders other books instead. Nothing special about this one.

All hell breaks loose. Will Stephen allow himself to be shoved into the background, or will he win the girl he truly loves? Members Reviews: A VERY SPECIAL FRIENDSHIP! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I would all of Mike Wells books...he is an incredible writer and story teller! What did you like best about this story? The friendship between Steven and Ben! Which character as performed by Mark Torres was your favorite? I am going to say Ben, but Steven is a very close second! Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? I wanted to, but it took me 2 days! Any additional comments? ** I was given s free copy of this book, in exchange for an honest review ** I love Mike Wells...he writes a story that sucks you in, and makes you want more! I have been given the very fortunate opportunity to listen to all of Mike's work on audio, and this being the last one available to me on audible...I am depressed....I need more!!! lol This is a story about 2 young men in there teens and finding a lifelong friendship with each other...Ben has a hard home life...alcoholic dad, and a run a round mom...he is abused both mentally and physically...and left to care for his younger brother..he has a rep as a bad ass..but deep down he is a sensitive, smart and talented artist...He befriends Steven who is new to the neighborhood and helps him grow as a person and together they learn some very valuable life lessons... GREAT STORY!! I RECOMMEND!!! Thank You Audiobookblast(dot)com I'm just a poor boy, nobody loves me Where does The Wrong Side of the Tracks rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? I have a hard time ranking this with other books I've listened to, as 'coming of age' stories aren't something I've ever listened to before. I WILL say that this was an extremely poignant and well-written story, and the voice actor did a tremendous job with it. He has the perfect voice for this context. I probably wouldn't enjoy listening to him read erotica, though. What was one of the most memorable moments of The Wrong Side of the Tracks? The tank car roll. The last one. That's going to stick in my head for awhile. Which character as performed by Mark Torres was your favorite? Christine. I love it when male voice actors can get a female infection in their deep voice, and have it be believable. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? I tried. But at 11:30 last night, I couldn't keep my eyes open any longer, and had to finish it this morning. Any additional comments? I think this would be a good book to give your kids to read or listen to. Especially if you live near train tracks. It might help them realize that they're not invincible. It also gives a little perspective to bullying and class snobbery. A family book with lessons to learn! I loved this book. I would classify it as a young adult read, but I believe it is a family read, maybe between PG-13 and a R rating (only due to a few words).

Collins Format: Unabridged Length: 16 hrs and 8 mins Language: English Release date: 07-18-13 Publisher: Penguin Books Ltd Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 10 votes Genres: Teens, Romance & Friendship Publisher's Summary: The unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of Beautiful Chaos, the next instalment in Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohls best-selling Caster Chronicles series, read by Kevin T. Collins. Is falling in love the beginning...or the end? In Ethan Wates hometown there lies the darkest of secrets. Ethan Wate is in love with a caster girl. When he looks at Lena, its like theres no one else in the world. But Ethan is mortal, and on her 17th birthday Lena made a choice that changed everything. The girl Ethan loves has broken the world with the supernatural powers she is struggling to control.... Now, if they are to fix the chaos Lena has caused, one of them must make a terrible sacrifice. Sometimes there isnt just one answer. Sometimes theres no going back. And this time there wont be a happy ending. The third instalment of the spellbinding love story that began with Beautiful Creatures. Members Reviews: A Fantastic Continuation! This is the third book in the Beautiful Creatures saga. I loved it! I downloaded this book in audio format, as I wanted to read it, but didn't have time to. Having this book in audio format allowed me to listen to it whilst doing household chores, or before bedtime. The story is again narrated by Kevin T. Collins, who does another fantastic job in bringing the characters alive. He gives each character their own personality and voice. Ethan Wate is an extremely interesting character. I liked him very much. He is a sweet, loving young man, who happens to be a human in love with a Caster. Lena Duchannes is a character I didn't really like in the first book. She had a "woe is me" attitude that really grated on my nerves. However, as this series has progressed, she has grown on me. Maybe it has something to do with her attitude change now she has claimed herself. This story continues from the end of the second book. I liked the fact that this story was again told from Ethan's point of view. I was hooked from the first few minutes of the chapter. Lena has claimed herself, but in the process "the order of things" has been broken. This means that Gatlin is suffering through a heat wave and an infestation of lubbers (a type of grasshopper similar to a locust). However, this is the least of Ethan's problems. He is still hearing music and finds out that it's a shadowing song (a message from his mother in the Other World). Meanwhile, Link has a problem of his own. After the fight with Abraham Ravenwood and then being bitten by John Breed, Link finds out that he is now an Incubus (he is now calling himself a Linkubus!). I loved this character's attitude to finding out that he is now supernatural. If I was him I would have freaked out a bit more, but I loved his cheerful acceptance; he is one cool dude! I also loved getting to know the Great Aunts better! Their constant bickering made me laugh, but you could feel the love behind their comments and complaints. There are several twists and turns in this story, which kept me enthralled, but there is one HUGE twist that I did, unfortunately, see coming near the end of the book. However, this twist is still shocking in it's finality and left me in tears. I am now looking forward to reading/listening to Beautiful Redemption as soon as possible, to find out what happens next! Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl make a great writing team.

Bambini e ragazzi si possano educare da soli; l'amicizia tra loro può aiutarli a migliorarsi; il lavoro e la vita all'aperto garantiscono un corpo sano e favoriscono un buon equilibrio psicologico: queste sono quindi le tesi educative del romanzo, in netto contrasto con le convinzioni pedagogiche dell'epoca. Ma il libro non precorreva i tempi solo in questo: nella seconda parte del libro vengono affrontate e ben spiegate le teorie del pensiero positivo e della ripetizione dei pensieri positivi che è alla base di così tante tecniche cosiddette magiche, filione questo che è stato riscoperto recentemente dalla New Age. Il libro era talmente contrario alle regole educative dellinizio del secolo che , sotto lapparente semplicità, finiva per rivelarsi quasi rivoluzionario. Per questo motivo allepoca fu accolto freddamente. Musica di Kevin Mac Leod. Please note: this audiobook is in Italian. Recensioni dei membri: Such a good story A wonderful story. The translation is simple and easy even for less advanced Italian readers.

Inspired by historical events that surround the village of Sleepy Hollow and the famous legend that shares its name, this young adult romance takes you on a journey full of history and suspense with a splash of horror and the paranormal. Members Reviews: Outstanding YA Paranormal Story This was without a doubt an outstanding supernatural tale based on Sleepy Hollow and the Headless Horsemen. I was not familiar with the tale but learned quite a bit listening to this suspenseful story. I really enjoyed everything about this book. It is an awesome tale especially around this time of the year where Halloween is right around the corner. Narration was excellent and brought the story to life. There is suspense, danger, horror, action, romance, witches, ghosts, and much more. It was hard to put this book down. The characters are well developed and very entertaining. Im so looking forward to the next book in this entertaining series! I love suspenseful romances and this one was outstanding. I liked the fact that it is a clean read and appropriate for teens and adults. YA Suspenseful Paranormal Romance is my favorite genre and this one ranks high! "I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review." Magically Wonderful! Hollow's End is a very fun and engaging read/listen. This is my first book by this Author and I enjoy her writing style. The characters are in depth and relatable and the pacing is on point. The world she has created in this story is one that I definitely want to know more about. The narrator did a fantastic job bringing the story to life with distinct and easy to understand character voices. I look forward to more from this Author and Narrator. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. Worth your time and credit! Wow. I really enjoyed this book. It's a great story with fantastic narration. It's definitley worth your time and credit. This is the first book by this author that I have read and evidently I have been missing out. Hopefully the rest of the series will be available on Audible soon. It's a series I will definitley continue with and be recommending often. It's a well written, creative, original and very enjoyable take on an urban legend. It pulled me in immediately and never let go. The story draws you in from the start with plenty of supernatural mystery, suspense, magic and ghosts with a hint of romance and a little history that all is woven together in a thoroughly entertaining and enjoyable story. This is one of those books that I wanted to listen to straight through and was annoyed if I had to pause it for any reason.

Expelled from a boy band for coming out as gay, he still wants to continue his career in music. Too bad his ex finds nothing better to do than exploit their relationship in the press, so Ru leaves California behind to lie low in Minnesota for a while. Adam Corbin attends a Minnesota high school and wants to coast through as a typical student. Hes friends with an openly gay student, Bas Axelrod, but while Adam plays football, he also stays away from much socializing. Blending in and not outing himself has been easy because hes never really been seriously interested in any of the guys hes encountered. When Adam meets Ru in a library, Adam begins to think hes found that special young man who might make it worthwhile to just be himself. And for Ru, Adam looks like someone he might trade his fame for, if they could be together. Ru and Adam will both come to realize that courage and love must go hand in hand if they are to have a future. Members Reviews: Best contemporary gay YA book I've heard! If you could sum up On the Right Track in three words, what would they be? Young, innocent, dramatic. What other book might you compare On the Right Track to and why? Aristotle and Dante discover the secrets of the universe. The characters, story and situations are similar. They are both well written and narrated. Which character as performed by Michael Stellman was your favorite? Adam. Stellman really conveyed the innocent naivete of Adam perfectly. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? No, it made me think and kept me wildly engaged. Any additional comments? Seventeen year old Ru Nakimura has few people in his young life he can trust. His mother is an absentee parent in every way, unless she needs money. His father who lived and breathed turning Ru into the best musician he could be, walked out and abandoned Ru at just thirteen when Ru confided in his father he liked boys instead of girls. Recently outed by his fame hungry ex-boyfriend and subsequently kicked out of his band for refusing to go back into the closet, the only person he can rely on is his best friend and former band mate, Tommy. Sixteen year old Adam Corbin has coasted through life virtually unscathed. Hes not a jock, or a brain, or emo, he is just Adam. Until the afternoon he sees the intriguing young man with black hair and beautiful eyes in the library, Adam never really realized he was gay because he never put much thought into it. His mission in life is has to been to make as small an impression as possible, coast under the radar, its safer that way. These two young men that have gone out of their way to be invisible, start to shine and glow once they meet each other. Adam is participating more in school, he is more confident and secure in his own skin now that he has Ru in his life. But being a gay rock star in the world today doesnt come without its pitfalls. Ru has to go out of town a lot for appearances and shows, which is hard for Adam to deal with at times. And then the mixture of a power hungry, former band mate of Rus and a deeply closeted former friend of Adams, becomes dangerous and volatile. Adam and Ru will have to grow up way too fast and sacrifice part of their youth on their journey to happiness. This just might be the best contemporary gay YA story Ive ever listened to.

Steal her, of course. Phoenix was raised within the Community, a gang of thieves with paranormal powers, under the control of a harsh master known as the Seer. The notion that there's a soul mate out there for every person with a paranormal gift is mere myth in Phoenix's world. That is until the Seer gives Phoenix the details of her next target, Yves Benedict. He's more than just her next victim, he is her destiny. To be together, Phoenix must break away from the Community, but resistance against the Seer puts them both in mortal danger. Phoenix has never trusted anyone before, now it's time to trust Yves with her life. What the Narrator Says "I absolutely loved narrating this trilogy. YAF is a guilty pleasure of mine and I really fell for all of the Benedict brothers! I think my favourite is Stealing Phoenix - she's such a fab character, full of fire (to match Yves's) and really feisty. But the big question is - who's your favourite Benedict boy? I think mine is probably Zed for his dark moodiness although I really like Xavier's great sense of humour." Lucy Price-Lewis on narrating Joss Stirling's Benedict Brothers Triology. Members Reviews: Almost Great. Would you try another book from Joss Stirling and/or Lucy Price-Lewis? Yes, I would Would you recommend Stealing Phoenix to your friends? Why or why not? Yes and no. yes, the world created is great but the main plot is flawed Any additional comments? The main plot hinged on the main female character's poor and naive choice to escape her intended which was the start of all the problems. There was no great harm to her at that point, so why escape? pointless and naive. a different plot with the same characters would make a better story. I dub her street-wise to the point of being naive. Enjoyable second instalment This is Yves and Phoenix story - they are brought together by crime and after convincing Phoenix that she is worth more than the life she was brought up on by the Sea,r they are destined to live happily ever after. However, they have to get to that point first and this story has action and conniving tactics that bring evil and good together and enjoy the ride to see who will win the overall fight. Joss Stirling has created a world of likeable characters that are easy to care for. This book is a fun enjoyable read and has plenty of laugh aloud moments which are shear delight. Definitely going straight on to the third book to see what's next for the Benedict family.

Struck Audiobook by Jennifer Bosworth

Title: Struck Author: Jennifer Bosworth Narrator: Leslie Bellair Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 38 mins Language: English Release date: 05-20-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 12 votes Genres: Teens, Romance & Friendship Publisher's Summary: Mia Price is a lightning addict. Shes survived countless strikes, but her craving to connect to the energy in storms endangers her life and the lives of those around her. Los Angeles, where lightning rarely strikes, is one of the few places Mia feels safe from her addiction. But when an earthquake devastates the city, her haven is transformed into a minefield of chaos and danger. The beaches become massive tent cities. Downtown is a crumbling wasteland, where a traveling party moves to a different empty building each night, the revelers drawn to the destruction by a force they cannot deny. Two warring cults rise to power, and both see Mia as the key to their opposing doomsday prophecies. They believe she has a connection to the freak electrical storm that caused the quake, and to the far more devastating storm that is yet to come. Mia wants to trust the enigmatic and alluring Jeremy when he promises to protect her, but she fears he isnt who he claims to be. In the end, the passion and power that brought them together could be their downfall. When the final disaster strikes, Mia must risk unleashing the full horror of her strength to save the people she loves, or lose everything. Editorial Reviews: Religious cults, prophecy, romance, and the supernatural are the fare of the day in this exciting debut from Jennifer Bosworth. Mia Price, the storys heroine, is a self-proclaimed, "lightning addict", who is being wooed by two rival cults in a Los Angeles ravaged by earthquake. Like Mias strange obsession, the story sets its hooks in you and moves at the pace of lightning. The story may get convoluted at times but Leslie Bellairs performance provides the audiobook with a solid grounding. She sets the tone of a disaffected young lady perfectly and lets these incredible events and romance unfold as if being told by a good friend. Members Reviews: A Reading the Paranormal Review I had a tough time with this book. I liked the setting (disaster and mayhem in LA in the wake of a cataclysmic earthquake) and I liked the resolution but it took me FOREVER (as in, a couple of a days) to get into this book. I was very frustrated by how Mia kept going back to the Seekers when they were obviously lying to her and only giving her half truths. Katrina's actions in particular had me shaking my head. Actually, I think the problem was that Katrina would lie, manipulate, and blackmail Mia and Mia would just kind of be "Oh, well. Don't do it again. You've lost my trust. Oh, you have something else to tell me? Okay. Bring it on." That these people who so desperately wanted her on their side during the upcoming fight were willing to risk her life and force her against her will to join them didn't sit well with me. Even the leader of the Seekers told Mia at one point that he didn't sanction Katrina's ways and then he turned around and tried to psychically force Mia to join them. I did like the desperation in the aftermath of a cataclysmic event. Between the food shortages, the intermittent loss of water, and the displaced roaming the streets looking for handouts, it created a feeling of hopelessness and despair that was wonderfully creepy. I liked Jeremy. I liked Jeremy with Mia. I liked that they generated heat -- in a literal sense.

Goldberg Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 18 mins Language: English Release date: 01-03-13 Publisher: Dana Michelle Burnett Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 13 votes Genres: Teens, Romance & Friendship Publisher's Summary: A love that refuses to die... "As I watched him vanish into a soft mist that faded away, I knew that he was no ordinary spirit.... I knew that he was a dangerous entity that could be in some corner of another realm planning his revenge, but I also knew that I was hopelessly in love with him." When Becca moves into her ancestral home in Corydon, Indiana, her life takes a puzzling and thrilling turn when she meets the ghost haunting the halls. As the seductive spirit lures her closer and closer, she learns about her own past and starts to understand that some mistakes are meant to last. Becca McAllister has always been different from other girls her age. Never part of the "in crowd", Becca never really fit in anywhere. When her mother dies and her father moves them to the small town of Corydon, Indiana, Becca didn't expect things to change. But things do change when Becca accidentally makes contact with a 160-year-old ghost, Alastor Sinclair, that haunts the halls of her new home. To Becca, Alastor is a seductive spirit that seems to see straight into her soul. To Alastor, Becca is what he has waited a century for - a second chance. But the closer they get, the more Becca realizes that this isn't the first time she and Alastor have known each other. Worse still, is she the one responsible for his death so long ago? And if so, did he come back for love or revenge? Members Reviews: Painful experience What had the potential to be a descent read was ruined by the worst narrator I have ever listened to. She was monotone, boring, had horrible timing and terrible pronunciation (I.e. "yuman" for human). The story itself could have been developed better, the characters more complex. I'm not sure how I managed to finish the book for any reason other than sheer stubbornness on my part. Narration is horrible!! regret purchasing. narrator was horrible. story was childish. i wanted to enjoy but just couldn't mostly due to the narrators monotone voice. horrible narrator I gave this book one star because of the narrator. I gave you overall story 3 stars and wish I could give it more but just really could not get into the book because of the narrator.

Delilah knows it's weird, but she can't stop reading her favourite fairytale. Other girls her age are dating. But then, other girls are popular. Delilah loves the comfort of the happy ending and knowing there will be no surprises. Until she gets the biggest surprise of her life.... Members Reviews: Beautiful and not a boring take on a fairytale This book is appropriate for all age groups. I enjoyed the concept of a character being trapped in a book and being aware of it. He enlists the help of an avid reader and falls in love with her....but how will he get out of the book and how will they be together? Beautifully written and different from Jodi's normally style. So disappointing I have read all Jodi picoult books and loved them but I cannot get into this book. I have tried listening to it about 10 times but it is so far fetched I am forcing myself to listen ....after 20 mins I have to switch to something else.. I think I will eventually finish it just because I cannot bear to not finish a book I start but it is hard work ....

Can history be rewritten? Or are some punishments eternal? Members Reviews: A weak conclusion to the series I was dissapointed by this last instalment. Lauren Kate didn't use all her threads to spin a satisfying end. The reader is left to wonder why Cam was so important in the instalments before? And the new twist that should explain the curse was not fully plausible to me. The whole storey seems quickly patched together rather then a carefully woven ... On top of that the voice of the narrator really annoyed me. She has this "suffering" tone, it put me off the storey so much that I thought about stopping to listen and buy the book! As much as certain narrators add to a storey others can spoil it. Loved this Series from book1 what a love story!!! Would you listen to Rapture again? Why? Yes Everybody loves a good love story and to think that a boy gone bad was because his love was not returned. Listen and you will know what I am talking about. What could Lauren Kate have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? I would not change anything. I would liked to have stayed for their wedding and a little look in the future. What does Justine Eyre bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? She is a very good reader I love listening that way I cannot cheat and skip a couple of pages to get to the good parts. Now I can listen to them over again. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? O yes. Me and my iPod spend lost of nights while my husband was sleeping listening in the dark kitchen because I cannot wait to hear what happens next. Any additional comments? I can really recomend this series such a feel good love story. Narrator really bad The story is great, however the narrators' shakey and monotone voice is very hard to lisen to... What an ending! What made the experience of listening to Rapture the most enjoyable? The entire experience is wonderful. The story rockets along, while answering a lot of questions. The danger is heightened, the plot twists and turns, and the characters are so well written I feel like I know them all. What other book might you compare Rapture to, and why? With every book in this series I have thought ok, now this one is my favourite! This compares extremely well with previous entries in the series. The obvious comparison would be Twilight, as it is also a paranormal romance. However the Fallen series is superior. The quality of writing is higher, the characters more vivid and the central love story more convincing. What about Justine Eyres performance did you like? Her excellent narration once again. She has just the right tone, and her pacing and delivery is wonderful. She really brings the story alive for me. If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be? True love - stronger than anything else the world can throw at you! Any additional comments? Wonderful to have a series of novels that treats its audience with intelligence and its subject matter with respect. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole series.

But now that she's in heaven, Brie is about to discover that love is way more complicated than she ever imagined. Back in Half Moon Bay, her family has begun to unravel. Her best friend knows a secret about Jacob, the boy she loved and lost - and the truth behind his shattering betrayal. And then there's Patrick, Brie's mysterious new guide and resident Lost Soul who's been D&G (dead and gone) much longer than she and who just might hold the key to her forever after. With Patrick's help, Brie will have to pass through the 5 stages of grief before she's ready to move on.But how do you begin again, when your heart is still in pieces? Members Reviews: Surprised I do not even know what to write about this book. This was a total cover buy from my local library. I thought it was your typical contemporary romance, but then I saw on Goodreads that this was Fantasy and Paranormal. I have been putting off reading it since I saw that. When I saw this was part of the Audible romance section, I decided it was time to give it a try. The sections are broken up into the Stages of Grief and I felt anger, acceptance, and sadness while reading this. I would not say this was fantasy, as this deals with a 15 year old who passes away and is in the afterlife. I had Ghost (the movies) vibes in this, but with so much more to it than that. Brie is reflecting back on her life (friends, family, losing her life at such a young age). There were times were it was very sad, and there are some twists and turns along the way. I did not see the twist coming at all! I was not a huge fan of the ending, but I expected it since this is Young Adult. I loved that each chapter was a song name, and songs were used throughout. There were also several Disney references which I also enjoyed. This was definitely an unexpected read for me, and I really enjoyed it. Excpected better but it was a nice story Is there anything you would change about this book? hmmmm , maybe the end of the book , and how did the story develop between Patrick and Brie How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable? more of Patrick and Less of Jacob LOL What does Suzy Jackson bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? I was reading and listening at the same time , maybe she was faster than me reading that's why I finished the book in one sitting Could you see The Catastrophic History of You and Me being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be? I don't like these kind of stories which talks about "live" after "death " it doesn't make sense to me that's why I don't recommend it as a movie Any additional comments? I wanted to give this book a solid five stars but at the end I felt that there was something missing , but it was a nice book love is like being eaten alive by a grizzly bear This book is about Brie, who dies, literally, from a broken heart. Brie isnt quite ready to move on, and meets Patrick in the space between moving on, and the real world. I liked the very beginning of this, thought it was amusing, Brie is talking about love, and claims love is like being eaten alive by a grizzly bear.

But when Ally changes into a whole different person literally overnight the fall of their senior year, Jane's suddenly alone - and very confused. Turns out, Ally has sold her soul in exchange for popularity - to a devil masquerading as a sophomore at St Teresa's! Now it's up to Jane to put it all on the line to save her friend from this ponytail-wearing, cupcake-nibbling demon...without losing her own soul in the process.... ©2007 Maureen Johnson; (P)2008 Penguin Members Reviews: Not equal to the Shades of London - a bit too weird Is there anything you would change about this book? I downloaded this book as I had listened to and enjoyed Maureen Johnson's Shades of London series, and thought this story might be similar. I liked the main character, Jane, and found her sympathetic and reasonably 3-dimensional. However, I found the story confusing, and the other characters seemed less 3-dimensional, and inconsistent. Overall, I enjoy Maureen Johnson's humour and sharp dialogue, but found this book a bit too bizarre and unbelievable. This story was creepier than the SoL series, and although the supernatural themes were similar, I found it was harder to suspend disbelief with this book.

Goss Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 15 votes Genres: Teens, Romance & Friendship Publisher's Summary: Christian romance: Two men vie for Amanda. One wanted the beautiful, fiery Amanda for his bride...the other for wealth and pleasure. Would her innocent trust be her undoing? Which one will capture her heart? Traveling to California on a wagon train, Amanda's family dies of cholera. She had prayed that they would live. Amanda is mad at God for letting them die. Eventually, she learns God did listen to her prayers, in a very extraordinary way. Amanda faces many perils on the trail including being captured by Indians and an evil adversary. Once Amanda realizes her true love, she can't find the words to tell him until it's a matter of life or death, or too late. Members Reviews: Christian romance on the Oregon trail This well written story captures the adventure of the Oregon trail, family hardships, and Christian values. It is such a heartfelt journey that not only shows the physical struggles but emotional and spiritual challenges along the way. For all who enjoy Christian western romances I highly recommend this book. Narration was well done. She has a good western style voice that added to the books enjoyment. I received a copy of the audiobook and I'm voluntarily leaving this review. I am grateful to the author for the opportunity. A Trek on The Oregon Trail Amanda and her family are traveling with a wagon train to California when her family is struck down by cholera. Left all alone, Amanda blames God for not answering her prayers. She joins another wagon party to continue to California, but the odd family puzzles her. The brash mother, dandy son, and ill daughter are an odd combination. When the son, Charles, begins to pursue Amanda, she's tempted to accept him. But her friend Luke warns her not to trust Charles, and she starts to think that things are not all they seem. But before she can decide who to trust, she's kidnapped in the middle of the night. I've always enjoyed stories about the Oregon Trail, I can't imagine the strength it took to pack up everything and take such a journey. Barbara Goss conveyed all the risks and challenges, and also told a compelling story with interesting characters. I waffled between admiring Amanda as a strong brave woman, to wanting to hug the poor motherless girl. Even though the story was told from Amanda's point of view, Luke was fleshed out so well I felt like I'd read chapters from his as well. Jan Ross was a good narrator, with an easy pace and speaking voice. She performed different voices for each character. I received a copy of the audiobook and I'm voluntarily leaving a review. This was a clean standalone novel with a Christian message. Lovely story Sometimes a story comes to its end and the two most dreaded words are "The End".

The principal counts on her to succeed because tickets have been sold and the money has been spent. But when he drops a gorgeous bad boy on her and wants him to help the play for extra credit, she falls hard for someone she knows she can't date. With everything spinning out of control, the mysterious and secretive detention king named Derek has a few tricks up his sleeve and wants to help - too bad Wren is scared to give him a chance to prove himself. Members Reviews: Great Teen Romance I really enjoy teen romance and this one is unique and fun. It is a light listen with a bit of turmoil. The main character is falling for the wrong guy, or is she? could her best friend be wrong about him? The narration was well done and it brought the story to life. Sweet HEA conclusion. The characters were likable and the story flowed well. I'm looking forward to more books written by Cheyanne Young. "I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review." I'm a bit confused..... I'm a bit confused...THIS BOOK HAS AN AMAZING & UNIQUE STORYLINE!! I don't know if I'm missing parts of the book, if it didn't all download or if there was SO MUCH skipped that it took so much away from the book!! I finished it feeling like I was missing SO MUCH!! The Narrator is the only reason I'm giving it the score I am!! 2.5 stars is for the book but I rounded it up to 3! I REALLY HOPE I'M MISSING SOME OF THE BOOK & I CAN LISTEN TO IT AGAIN & FIX THE RATING!! CAUSE I PROMISE YOU THIS BOOK HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! understudy What made the experience of listening to Understudy the most enjoyable? the storyline was good & the narrator was pleasant to listen to. Which character as performed by Stacey Glemboski was your favorite? Derek & Wren Any additional comments? I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher. This book is a cute first love type of book, which is what I was expecting, although the characters were immature (including the adults) I still found the storyline good...until the end. There was such a huge build up as to what happened to Derek & as to why he couldn't tell Wren anything...that when he finally does tell her, its a huge let down...there was so much potential with that part that I was really disappointed in the way the author chose to end it. overall, a good high school/first love type of book. :) your too fat: favorite line I was gifted this audio ARC from the author/Narrator for a honest and unbiased review Cheyanne Young composed an unique plot that was compiled with lots of care to her characters Stacey Glemboski once again didn't fail in giving a spectacular job with the inflection of the voices. I highly recommend this book to anyone who doesn't mind a touch of cursing throughout the book. Sweet Nice sweet little book. Enjoyed the narration. Very well done. The story could have been flushed out a bit more, still liked it though.

Members Reviews: destined to love This series of four books is great. I was looking forward to this book coming out so much i actually had it written in my diary so i wouldn't miss the release date. It is about fairies but not as you know them but some how more believable, you feel this world could exist, i love the characters and if the lead is sometime a winey for my liking she more than makes up for it in other parts. The book ends leaving me thinking that there could be another series coming out soon i can't wait and can only hope they will be on audio too.

The only one whose heart I long to know." Hayden was born a werewolf, a Dark Guardian. But her ability to sense the feelings of fellow werewolves has made her life unbearable. She runs away, only to be tracked by charming, mysterious Daniel, a newcomer to the pack and the one Shifter immune to her powers. As she reluctantly follows him home, Hayden finds herself falling dangerously in love.... But even as her feelings for Daniel deepen, Hayden begins to wonder if he is who he claims to be. Where did he come from and why has no one ever seen him transform? When they stumble upon the body of a Shifter still in wolf form, her worries grow. Someone is killing her kind. Is her handsome tracker really a hunter? And is Hayden now his prey? Members Reviews: Light Read/Good Narration This story like the rest of the series had more potential than was delivered and was superficial and predictable although not as predictable as the first 3 books. I thought it was good as long as your expectations aren't too high. It was entertaining. The beginning was weird since one of it's main characters had never been mentioned before and neither had the villain but it get better as it went on. The characters were likable and it was nice to see a little more of the main characters in the previous books. Hawthorne did do a better job with the main characters for this book than she did in the previous books. The same problem as with the previous books was that there still wasn't enough background either in the main characters and the history of the shifters and the new villain. It was still annoying that "humans" were referred to as "statics" although it wasn't as frequent as in the first two books. It was extremely disappointing that the author didn't put more effort into it. I've said that in the reviews for the all of the books in the series so far but kept hoping each book would improve since that is typically what happens in a series. I expect the world that was created to evolve as the series goes on giving you more insight into both the characters and world that are created. I did purchase all the books in the series before I started listening to them and don't like to give up on a series I will glad the 4th book was an improvement on the 3rd book. Great Performance by Julia Whelan I have heard all 4 guardian books performed by julia whelan. the books are easy to hear and nicely written but what really makes them entertaining is the perfect and emotional reading of julia whelan.

Malyn Reed has been able to see spirits her entire life. Now that she's almost 17, she has learned to differentiate between the living and the dead, making her gift feel less like an evil curse. She ignores the spirits she encounters on a daily basis, which has made living side by side with them slightly easier...until she moves to Dandridge, the second oldest town in Tennessee. Beau Brogan was a hard working country boy from Dandridge, Tennessee who loved his family and stole the hearts of many southern belles. But all of that came to a tragic halt at the age of 19 when his life came to an untimely end. For the past 100 years, his spirit has been entombed in a ghostly life of loneliness and misery that he wishes would just end...until the Reeds move in. Members Reviews: Love has no boundaries. This is a paranormal romance with a touch of suspense. This is the first book in the For Always series. This could be read as a stand alone, but I am buying the second book. I recommend this for any young adult, paranormal lover. This book is done in the point of view of several characters, but it is very detailed, not confusing at all. I was entranced from the first page, Beau is simply dreamy, I adore his mannerism. Nellie is the perfect definition of a grandmother. And I was so happy Malyn had the courage to follow her heart. My eyes were glued to my kindle, this is a definite page turner. This is the first book I have read of Janae Mitchell and she has earned a dedicated follower. This is the story about sixteen year old Malyn Reed, she has been raised by her grandmama Nellie whom she adores. They are relocating and Malyn is very nervous because she has a special gift. Malyn can see and hear ghosts, she has for as long as she can remember. They are moving to Dandridge, Tennessee which is known for paranormal activity, but she is still excited about the new beginning. Upon arriving to her new home, Malyn is in for a huge surprise. Her grandmama failed to tell her that she would be encountering a ghost sooner than she expected. Be still my beating heart, she was captivated from the moment she laid her eyes on him. Beau Brogan is a nineteen year old, town hero. Not only is he very handsome, he is also a true southern gentleman. But there is a catch... he is a ghost. Beau tragically passed away and did not move on, he has been stuck in the same place for too many years. He was used to people passing through his childhood home, and was surprised when the Reed's moved in. When he met Nellie, he knew she was not like the others.

Frazier Narrator: Fred Kennedy Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 37 mins Language: English Release date: 12-02-15 Publisher: G. M. Frazier Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Teens, Romance & Friendship Publisher's Summary: "The summer I turned 16, I shot a man." With that simple declaration, Nelson Gody begins his story of the summer of 1969 and the events that would change his life forever. Nelson lives with his widower father and his five-year-old sister on their small farm outside Bells Ferry, Mississippi. It's an idyllic world grounded in family and friendship, a world full of farm chores and lazy afternoons swimming in the Wolf River with Frankie, his best friend. Things begin to change when Nelson finds himself falling in love with Mary Alice, the orphan from a children's home who is spending the summer with his aunt. While dealing with the emotional rollercoaster of first love, Nelson learns the secret his best friend has been harboring (he's gay) and nearly trashes his life-long friendship with Frankie. Just when it seems the two boys have worked it all out, saving their friendship, a mysterious stranger comes to town on an exotic motorcycle and interjects himself into their world...giving Frankie the chance to explore his burgeoning sexuality with horrific consequences. Capped by the devastation of Hurricane Camille, no one escapes unscathed from those six weeks in the summer of '69. Told with narrative drive that pulls you completely into the story, A Death on the Wolf is an uncompromising coming of age tale full of hard-hitting issues that are tackled head-on with courage; not only by the author, but by the characters he's created. Members Reviews: Can't recommend this one highly enough! This was free when I got it; and I (wrongly) didn't hold out much hope for it to be better than average. I was very much pleasantly surprised, though; this is a *fantastic* book; one of the better ones I've read this winter. Although the subject of race is (very!) lightly touched on, this book is about the summer in which a 15-year old boy confronts the issues of love, loyalty, courage, friendship, and inner moral character, while leaving boyhood behind and laying the groundwork for the man he will become. There's an epilogue, too, to tell "how things all worked out," and in this case I thought it added a nice touch. Can't recommend this one highly enough. 4.5 / 5, IMO. A great read! Coming of Age Book Not sure how I came across G.M. Frazier's book.....I order a lot of Kindle books on recommendations. This is a well written story of a 16 year old boy's summer when he comes to find love, friendship and the appreciation of his father and aunt. Our protagonist starts the summer as a naive young man in the summer who gains maturity and understanding of the world around him in the south during the late 1960s. Frazier is a wonderful writer...I do not say this lightly. Story developer, characterization, mood....he gives it to us all in simply evolved language. This book is a jewel and would make a great addition to Modern American Lit. classes in our nations high schools. It contains morality without shoving it down the readers throat.

Members Reviews: Movie Worthy This book is well written ... Jackamoe and Kate make great leads, but it is wonderful to discover love through everyone's eyes thanks to the letters to Juliet.

Lie to Me Audiobook by Angela Fristoe

Title: Lie to Me Subtitle: A Touched Trilogy, Volume 1 Author: Angela Fristoe Narrator: Mysti Jording Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 40 mins Language: English Release date: 04-16-14 Publisher: Angela Fristoe Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Teens, Romance & Friendship Publisher's Summary: Phoebe Matlin has always felt broken. While one of her sisters sees the future, and the other can heal people, Phoebe has come to accept that her truth telling gift just doesn't work. Then her best friend, Tonya, lies to her and Phoebe's gift flares to life. With Tonya pissed at her, being a Truth Teller suddenly doesn't seem like such a great gift. Although, it is nice knowing she was the reason her crush, Nathan, dumped his stalker girlfriend. In lies, intention is everything and Tonya's lies are a cry for help. The fear that her friend is covering darker and more serious truths is something Phoebe can't ignore. But knowing when someone is lying is the easy part. Now she has to decide what to do about it. And with Nathan and his doubts about her ability confusing things, finding a way to help Tonya isn't as easy as Phoebe thought it would be. Members Reviews: I highly recommend this book, expecially to late teens Late teens especially who like paranormal books will absolutely love this book; one in a trilogy of 3 books. The books are about triplets who each have a paranormal gift. The whole story builds up to a life-changing event for the triplets and their friends that may or may not happen; it was very exciting. The first book puts an emphasis on one of the triplets; the second book puts an emphasis on another triplet; and the third book puts an emphasis on the third triplet, but each book flows into the next very smoothly. I highly recommend this book, and the other 2 which complete this trilogy. The First Leg of a Potentially Fascinating Ride When Phoebe, Chloe, and Lily Matlin were born, their mother, who died shortly after their birth, named their special powers: Truth telling, Seeing, and Healing. While her sisters recognized and were able to use their powers from an early age, Phoebe was in high school before her ability to âtell truthâ manifested itself, and it did so in a way that most complicated her teen existence. In Lie to Me by Angela Fristoe the reader follows Phoebe as she deals with the discovery of her hidden ability, and its impact on her friends. Life is never normal for a teenager, but for one of the âFreaky Matlins,â discovering that she has the ability to tell when people are lying complicates her life beyond belief. When her best friend hooks up with a boy that Phoebe âsuspects,â but who she canât catch in a lie, it not only threatens her sanity, it threatens her relationship with Nathan, a boy that sheâs had a crush on since she first met him. A story that is sometimes funny, often filled with angst, Fristoe takes us into the life of an American teen, albeit a teen with a unique ability, and keeps us interested until the end. The ending of Lie to Me was a twist. Although Phoebe satisfactorily settles her own situation, the book closes with a bit of a cliff-hanger regarding her sister, Lily. Thank goodness, Fristoe has written sequels, so we can expect to follow along with each of the sisters in future books. Kudos to the author for a fascinating ride. high school drama...nothing special A fairly fast read, but nothing special. There are 3 sisters with special gifts, and each book in the trilogy tells one of their stories. Phoebe, the main character in this book, is a 'Truth-Teller' as in she can tell when someone is lying to her.
