Members Reviews: Could Not Be Better it is one thing to listen to writings of an author you have not met. it is another to listen to writings of an author you have, but as you listen you realize you have never met the writer, while you are swept away in river of their presentation and their skill to tell a story that immediately consumes your interest, stimulates your imagination and leaves you with a burning question; who is this person I have been meeting with? Tammie, you really put your foot in this one and my granddaughter loves it which is a compliment because she does not like anything. All the best. Andre P. Malone A nice romance story with a twist I loved this book. It kept me up late at night every night. It has a nice romantic twist. Even if I don't like romance this is a definite book that I would recommend. I loved this book and would love to read the sequel. But not everything's perfect. I felt at the beginning I didn't know what was going on but it only took me a few chapters to get what was going on. I don't usually have an interest in romance stories so I didn't particularly like the romance parts. But other than that it was great! Keep up the good work Really Great Book If you could sum up Alora: The Wander-Jewel in three words, what would they be? Attention Grabbing Book What other book might you compare Alora: The Wander-Jewel to and why? I would compare Alora: The Wander Jewel to exciting adventurous books like Divergent, Matched by Allie Condie or Harry Potter. What about David Penners performance did you like? I liked the way that David Penner kept all of the character's separate. He kept the story really interesting. Takes you a minute to realize why he is pausing all the time. He is pausing in between different realms and points of view. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? This book made me laugh all the time. It made me crack up laughing while I was cleaning at work. Coming from the viewpoint of a 30 year old guy this is an awesome book. And listening to it as a night custodian while I was at work was very entertaining. Any additional comments? I can't wait for the next book to be on Audible.

Members Reviews: A new series on my must read list What made the experience of listening to Dawn of the Sacred Land the most enjoyable? The series has excellent potential to be amazing. This is the first book/a prequel to the main Sacred Lands books and is mainly trying to set the stage for the upcoming war. It gives the readers the opportunity to get to know about the characters within the book. This is a great beginning to what I hope will be a very interesting and engaging series. Who was your favorite character and why? Lady Shey was definitely my favourite character and the author does a great job of letting us see what she may be capable of achieving if she has the courage and the will to take the fight to the, largely unknown, enemy. Which character as performed by Sarah Zimmerman was your favourite? Sarah's narration is great and she beings all the characters and the whole story to life. Getting a good narrator is key to a good audio book and Sarah is very good. Lady Shey was my favourite character. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? I liked the unknown quality that was pervasive in the book in relation to the enemy that our heroes will be/are facing. The system of magic is interesting as well and its a good solid fantasy book.

Senrid Audiobook by Sherwood Smith

Title: Senrid Author: Sherwood Smith Narrator: James Patrick Cronin Format: Unabridged Length: 15 hrs and 49 mins Language: English Release date: 11-04-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Teens, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Publisher's Summary: The kids on the good side are united in one thing: regarding Senrid as a villain. So what do you do when you're fifteen, supposedly king of one of the most powerful kingdoms in the world, but all you have on your side are wit, will, and maybe a few skills? And what if the people you like best are your enemies, and your relatives want to see you dead? This is actually three novelettes and a novella, forming an arc with Senrid at the center, first written when Sherwood Smith was exactly Senrid's age, fifteen. Editorial Reviews: Prolific writer Sherwood Smith is back; this time, she brings with her swashbucklers, villains, magic, and a teenaged king. This king and his sister must fight their power-hungry uncle to regain control of the realm. Though the plot feels disjointed at times, James Patrick Cronin performs this coming-of-age story terrifically. Listening to his powerful alto is easy as pie. His steady voice engages with the young king's serious tone. His pace is patient, and no word feels lost in the mix. Meanwhile, Cronin endows each character with a unique voice. With his help, YA fantasy fans will watch Senrid's extraordinary world come to life. Members Reviews: A fascinating character study Would you consider the audio edition of Senrid to be better than the print version? I haven't read the print version, but the audio of Senrid is enjoyable. There are a few places where the narrator stutters or mispronounces words, but overall, he is expressive and fun. What did you like best about this story? For fans of Crown Duel and A Stranger to Command, Senrid is a fascinating character study that explains many of the mysteries and backstories of Sherwood Smith's excellent fantasy world. As some reviewers have said, the book does seem incoherent, so it's important tto remember that it is actually 4 novellas not one novel. The final novel is the best: here is where Senrid comes into his own and we gain real insight into his thinking. What does James Patrick Cronin bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Cronin creates distinct and expressive voices for each character. I'm especially amazed at his portrayal of aged women in the story, and I love the voices he does for Senrid and CJ. Any additional comments? Every time I read a Sherwood Smith book, I want to go back and reread all the others I've read before. Her world is intricate and her characters are deeply human. Each book reveals new layers of meaning and offers riddles for the reader to figure out.

This story was very entertaining and kept me listening long into the night. I didn't want to stop listening. What did you like best about this story? I liked how all the different stories connected to each other but still remained separate. What about D. Gaunts performance did you like? Miss Gaunt gave all the characters very distinctive personalities that really helped me to understand them and who they are. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? You never know where your path may lead Any additional comments? I need more of this story! An enthralling and masterfully told tale Would you consider the audio edition of Guardians of the Grove to be better than the print version? Yes! Hearing the emotion of the characters helped me to feel as though I was a true part of the story What other book might you compare Guardians of the Grove to and why? On first glace I assumed Guardians of the Grove would be filled with heart warming lessons much like "Xena the Warrior Princess" however once I began getting into the story I found it to be a twisting and turning epic adventure unlike any other I have encountered. What about D. Gaunts performance did you like? I felt that D. Gaunt brought just enough emotion to every character to make a true connection to what they were feeling throughout the length and breadth of the tale. She has a masterful way of adding dramatic pauses that truly impact the listening experience. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? There are so many moments throughout the book that are truly moving. Without giving away the storyline I would have to say that meeting Nuella was the culmination of so many arcs that it has to be my favorite. Any additional comments? This story was certainly worth the price. I plan to listen to it over and over again. This story MUST continue! I am anxiously awaiting the release of The Bow Maiden Chronicles Book 2 Love the strong females! What other book might you compare Guardians of the Grove to and why? Heir of Fire by Sarah J Mass Any additional comments? I really enjoyed the way the book centres around strong females, particularly those who know how to fight and can compete with and best any man around. It is great that books like this are being written! It is an excellent and engaging book and I cannot wait for more!

And now, for all those spellbound by the tale of Prince Tristan, heir to the throne of Eutracia, his twin sister Princess Shailiha, the ancient wizard Wigg, and the fate of their enchanted land, there is indeed more - much more - to be told.... For three centuries, Eutracia was a kingdom at peace, ruled by a benevolent monarchy and guided by a council of wizards. But a horror from the past, long believed vanquished, returned with devastating fury. And when the battle against the bloodthirsty Sorceresses of the Coven was finally won, victory was not without its price. Now, the royal palace lies in ruins; the king and queen, the royal guard, and the Directorate of Wizards are dead; the land is lawless; and Prince Tristan - forced by the Coven to murder his father, the King - is a wanted man. In a cavernous underground labyrinth, once headquarters of the wizards council, Tristan has taken refuge with his sister, Shailiha; her infant daughter; the wizard Wigg, the lone surviving member of the Directorate; and the crippled wizard Faegan, returned from self-imposed exile in the forest of Shadowood. Together they face the daunting task of restoring order to Eutracia and winning back the allegiance of her subjects. But suddenly, even these challenges pale beside a truly terrifying turn of events. The sacred jewel that is the source of all magic has inexplicably begun to lose its power. Without its age-old enchantment to sustain their spells, the immortal wizards will perish...and magic will vanish from Eutracia forever. At the same time, a mysterious and ruthless mercenary has declared a bounty upon the head of Prince Tristan. And an army of wizards on a mission to rid Eutracia of monsters created by the Coven has fallen prey to an insidious breed of creatures - beings that can only have sprung from forbidden use of malevolent magic. With time and their powers dwindling, Wigg and Faegan desperately seek to discover who, or what, has succeeded the dead Sorceresses in laying siege to Eutracia. But when the shocking truth is revealed, and an evil that transcends life itself is made known, it is Tristan, more than any other, who will be stunned to his very soul. And it is Tristan who will be thrust into the ultimate battle - for his life, his land, and the course of his destiny. Members Reviews: Very enjoyable second installment. This book is about our young hero having to face an enemy of tremendous power who ends up being one of his relatives. In this book there is more world building and character development of our hero and his twin sister. The narrator was again very good, as John Lee tends to be. If they publish the third installment of the series I would buy it immediately. It doesn't stand up to Sanderson's work, but few do and a book near or over 20 hours is a plus for me. Descent Story, but improved narration needed. Is there anything you would change about this book? I would certainly recommend changing the narrator on this book. See the reasoning below for a more detailed description. What other book might you compare The Gates of Dawn to and why? The author of this book has a slightly similar writing style to Terry Goodkind. Therefore, I would compare it in some ways to the Sword of Truth series.

His imagination creates a world of dragons, wizards, and magic. His writing helps him cope with the reality of his world. When one of his stories draws the interest of Merrill Templar, his English teacher, Duncan discovers that the world of his imagination has become a reality. Saving the Last Dragon becomes Duncan's quest. He finds himself facing dangerous mythical creatures bent on stealing the dragon's egg to wield its power. Accompanied by a real dragon named Balinor and assisted by his two friends, Kathy Craigendoran and Jamieson Howarth, Duncan must find the egg and save the lives of his friends. The quest to save the last dragon leads Duncan on a wild ride through a world of magic and deception, testing his resolve, as he becomes the Dragon Seeker. Members Reviews: Dreams of dragons come to life Any additional comments? Duncan Emerys has been having the most vivid dream of a society of dragons whose very existence is being jeopardized in a war against humanity and a handful of magical creatures. He writes his dreams into a story for his English class and its so entertaining his professor encourages him to press on and make a book of it. As the tale is revealed to him in dreams, Duncan begins to see that parts of his fantasy world are actually real. I really enjoyed the cross-over between reality and fantasy. It was reminiscent of the Neverending Story. Both stories also start with one boy and his journey into an imaginary place, but then end in our heros discovery that somehow, both places are a reality. It was cool to read about a protagonist that was confined to a wheel chair. It created a whole different set of rules. Duncan faced the adventure without letting his disability prevent him from rising to the challenge. I think children with disabilities might find encouragement in Duncans adventure. I received a free copy in exchange for a review. Any review. That fact that its a good one is because the book is good. Which has nothing to do with how awesome I am. Youll have to find that out for yourself @S_Shane_Thomas on Twitter. I listened to this audiobook over a months worth of dad taxi duties with my nine year old son. I know he really enjoyed it because he asked me to take him to school just about every day! Fred Wolinsky narrated the story and had some very amusing voices for the antagonists. My son got pretty good at his Principal Core impersonation. I think this would make a good series based on how it ended. A predictable, comfy fantasy story. Young Duncan Emeris has a fairly normal life. He has a dog, two parents, and is required to go to school. But then he starts writing fanciful tales. In fact, the story seems to come to him in his dreams and seems to be almost writing itself. Pretty soon, he learns that his story isnt just a story and hes swept into the hunt for the last dragon egg, pitted against determined foes, but joined by stalwart friends. This story was OK for me. It was your pretty standard kids fantasy quest. Theres our young hero, Duncan, a possible love interest, Kathy, the old sage who guides the young hero, Professor Templar, and a comedic companion, Jamieson. Toss in an old dragon, Balinor, and some side characters that provide additional help, and you have the winning team. Opposing them are some sneaky bad guys that can shape shift and one treacherous backstabber. The hunt is on for the last known dragon egg.

I would highly recommend this to anyone who is into ware wolves, vampires, and creatures only the writer could bring to life. I highly recommend this book!

Told from his perspective, listeners get an insight into the inner workings of Niles' mind and his first experiences in the station afterlife. Who was he before he died, and who is he now? The answers are waiting for you.... Niles is the first of three Station Series novelettes. Members Reviews: Awesome addition to the Station series! Would you consider the audio edition of Niles: A Station Series Novelette to be better than the print version? I loved both equally, but the audio version gives me an actual voice to put with the face in my head. What did you like best about this story? The creativity the author puts into the story. Great fictional world. What does Richard Wilson bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? His voice matches perfectly to the Niles in my head. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes, and I did! Any additional comments? A great short listen, less than an hour. I put it on as I cleaned my house. Cleaning isn't so bad anymore. :) Loved it! Narration - Richard Wilson - Really Good! This is book 4 in the series, but it's actually sort of the prequel to the series. I haven't read/listened to any of the other books so this was just a taste for me...and I liked it...a lot! The book opens with us experiencing Nile's suicide and when he "wakes" he's at the station - and that's all I'm gonna say about that! The book is well written, the narration was terrific and now I'm hooked and ready to head back to book one and continue with this - Paranormal? Sci-fi? Afterlife? Series... I'm not really sure what it is, but I liked it! I received this book free of charge in exchange for an unbiased review Happy Niles has a voice. What made the experience of listening to Niles: A Station Series Novelette the most enjoyable? Listening to the book you hear it read with slight differences than you read it. A different tone or take on emotion. What did you like best about this story? After reading the first books of the series, it was nice to finally have Niles' backstory of how he got to the station. What about Richard Wilsons performance did you like? He spoke clearly. Wonderful Wonderful voice to bring Niles to life! I love this Station series novelette by Trish Marie Dawson that gives you the back story of Niles and Richard Wilson was an excellent choice to be his voice. This will be a repeat listen for me.

Title: Sartor Author: Sherwood Smith Narrator: Emma Galvin Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 19 mins Language: English Release date: 12-19-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Teens, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Publisher's Summary: In this sequel to The Spy Princess, Lilah, newly made a princess, teams up with Atan, the hidden princess of the oldest country in the world, Sartor, to free the kingdom from a century of enchantment. Capture, escape, a forest beyond time, ancient beings, civilizations secreted in caves, and a deadly enemy await the girls. Atan knows that if she survives, the challenges facing a 15-year-old queen are only beginning. Members Reviews: Compelling, but Incomplete The plot of this story is excellent and compelling, as are the characters. However, as with many of Sherwood Smith's books, you feel that you've been dropped into the middle of town without a map. Many of the characters have backstories that are only alluded to, because they exist in unpublished books or the vast mythology of Sartorias-deles that still exists mainly in Smith's mind. That said, the story of a youth trying to come to terms with the knowledge that she is a ruler now responsible for an entire nation, both the people and the traditions, is played out in wonderfully intimate and thoughtful detail. Five Stars I loved this book. Another great look at the Sartorias-deles world. okay book. This wasn't Sherwood Smith's best work, nor was it her worst. It was middling. Regardles, it was still a fun read. It's slow Like most of Sherwood Smith's books that contain little or no romantic tension, Sartor drags. The only interesting personal conflicts are in the primary antagonists, and the protagonists spend almost all of their time waiting around worrying, leading me, at least, to wish I could light a fire under them and get them moving. The primary reason to read this book is to understand the various references to Sartor in Smith's other novels, but since the magical happenings are largely unexplained don't expect to come out much more enlightened than you went in. Better Book This is a much better book than its predecessor, Spy Princess, and I have given it a much better rating than the other reviewers of this book. Perhaps this is because I am more interested in the cultures and politics of Sherwood's universe, and can do without romance!

Smith Narrator: Daniel Baker Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 51 mins Language: English Release date: 04-11-16 Publisher: Two Petals Publishing Genres: Teens, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Publisher's Summary: Welcome or unwelcome. Fate had arrived. The Urban Boys, Chapter 9 "A captivating and poetic tale of mystery, fantasy, and reality tied together by action!" 5-stars, Lars Jackson, Amazon Customer Sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell become hypersensitive gifts that forever change the world of five teenage boys in The Urban Boys: Discovery of the Five Senses, an urban paranormal thriller. The story chronicles the boys effortless interrelations and they learn how to utilize their sensory super powers, as they embark upon a mission of good vs evil. Upon the boys' mysterious incident with an energy source, they're instinctively called to a neighboring town, Sandry Lake, to root out evil. Their superhero senses guide them each time. However, secrecy about their mission, furious battles with evil thugs, extreme fatigue, and stress and pressure soon overwhelm the boys, but they must find a way to embrace their fate. A lurking, dark stranger seems to know their plight, and a strikingly beautiful, fearless girl lends way to heightened confusion. Intriguing, intelligent, and full of action, The Urban Boys: Discovery of the Five Senses offers a memorable, emotion-packed, thrilling ride for action-adventure fans of all ages! Critic Reviews: "An energetic adventure debut with stellar action sequences. Smith's writing is intelligent and often lyrical. Her exuberant prose never fails to dazzle." (Kirkus Media) "Author K.N. Smith uses her mastery of the written word to weave an entrancing, yet powerful tale of adventure that keeps you turning pages in an unquenchable desire to find out what happens next." (Publishers Daily Reviews, 5 stars) "Well written and very creative, The Urban Boys' is an absolute must-read for fans of novels such as Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, etc." (Indie Book Reviewers, 4 stars) Members Reviews: A great teen scifi Urban Boys is one of those stories that will give you a lingering thought much like a certain food gives out a good aftertaste. Journeying from kids to teens to super is one of the things most want but can never achieve. The story of these five boys shows us the development, hardship, emotional, mental and physical baggage one has when undergoing this situation. A closer to actual reality type story than other teen science fiction in the market. Lavished by the great way the author writes the story as a storyteller, the novel gives great warmth and closeness to the characters. The rich way the scene and events are detailed makes us imagine as if we were there. The only thing I can think of which is the downside is the quickness of how they acquired the abilities they have. As a science lover and a lover of science fiction, I adore stories and explanation of their powers and how they came to be. Otherwise it's over-all a great story. Hope there is much to it in it's sequel.Kudos to K.N. Smith for a great start for a series. I highly recommend âThe Urban Boys: Discovery of the Five Sensesâ and I look forward to reading more books by K.N. Smith This was my first book that I have ever read by author K.N. Smith and I purchased the book after reading the other reviews of âThe Urban Boys: Discovery of the Five Sensesâ. I was intrigued by the story line and now that I have read âThe Urban Boysâ I can officially tell you that I was not disappointed by this very unique & engaging story.

During a dark, foggy night, Vyking ships from the Isles of Welkstone slip into Hoffnung Bay to aid Lord Waxxon's coup to take Hoffnung's throne from half elf Queen Taube. As Lord Waxxon's guards storm the castle, Queen Taube flees to Lady Dawn's chambers to help her daughter escape. After Hoffnung's fall, Lady Dawn flees for her life in the hope of gathering together an army to overthrow Lord Waxxon, who killed her mother to take the throne. With Waxxon's guards and hired assassins searching Aetheaon to find and kill her, she disguises herself as a peasant boy and takes the lowly role of a squire under one of her father's former Dragon Skull Knights. But her identity must remain a secret even to the noble knight she serves, until he can join the other Dragon Skull Knights to bring Waxxon's reign to an end. Members Reviews: Smooth reading book that felt like it contained little character. This is not as good as the first book, I'll say that upfront. I really liked Roble and his faery girlfriend and how their story developed. When I first saw this I thought it would be a continuation, but as you read you'll find that chronologically this starts shortly before book 1 does. The two stories even cross paths in this book although only Roble really gets much pagetime. Sadly, this book never really manages to find its focal character. The plot is focused quite well on a singular event and the ripples it creates in the lives of people and nations nearby. Unfortunately, that plot focus results in multiple POV shifts, and a real lack of a strong development of character. Instead this book is a tour de force de plot, where all of the writing is focused on moving the plot to its planned conclusion. I liked the characters. Honestly, I like the conflict and the basic plot. I just wish I felt that there had been so much more to a story that was long, but felt much lighter than its page length. Good, even great for people who like the style and the previous book, but I can't give it 5 stars due to my misgivings about the way it unfolded and the character development or lack of it. The problem with a good book is that at some point, the story must end. This is an amazing read! Leonard D. Hilley II is a gifted storyteller and in my opinion, ranks up there with JK Rowling. After reading Book 1 of the Chronicles of Aetheaon, I couldn't wait until Book 2, Dawn's Ascension, to come out; I was not disappointed! I loved the story so much that I still think about it and live in it's pages. Only one other time have I gotten so totally lost in a story that I couldn't stop thinking about it for months, Harry Potter. Yes, in my opinion, Mr. Hilley's story is that good. The characters come to life in the story of Lady Dawn's escape from the evil Lord Waxxon. Growing up in luxury, she chooses to live as a Squire after she and her nanny are forced to flee after the death of her mother, Queen Taub, through the sewers under the castle. Dawn proves herself to be smart, cunning and strong willed as she makes the decision that she will not be defeated and will return to reclaim the throne.

In a world populated by malevolent fairies, rock and roll-loving trolls, and good-natured gods, Milford finds much more than he ever bargained for. Members Reviews: a good read The only thing that kept me from reading this book right through from the beginning to the end. Was that I had to work and they frown on reading on the clock. The book was fun and always light hearted but some of the formatting was a little off putting which caused some problems during the switch from one chapter to the next. Otherwise it was a great book and worth the cost. Magic Inc. Review I was pleasantly surprised to see that this story was missing most of the errors I have found in other books. Of course I did find several. Not like some e-books, which does make me think there's no enjoyment in the writing or no respect for the readers.

She has struggled to fit in throughout her life, and she is always viewed as helpless. That all changes the night a vampire attacks her. Jessica survives the attack and discovers her autism gives her a special advantage against the deadly creatures. A group of vampire slayers takes her in and teaches her to become a slayer. Using a variety of weapons and skills to fight the vampires and their minions, Jessica develops her skills while continuing to discover the person and warrior she has always been. As she fights alongside the other slayers, she learns not all of them are what they seem. Jessica rescues Hawk, a flying unicorn, who impales vampires with his horn. Jessica also digs into her past to learn the truth about her father's death.... Members Reviews: loved it, would love for the story to continue You are never too old to love unicorns, esp. when they can slay vampires! I absolutely loved this story. It was such a different slayer tale. I found myself giggling at how wonderfully delightful he main character is. She is brave, strong and independent and reminds us all of a very valuable lesson in life. I hope that there will be more of her adventures to come. I esp. recommended this book to parents looking for a book to ease their children into the " paranormal" genre and for those who like to share good moral stories. I have gifted this book to several friends and family. Girl with Aspergers Kicks Ass This book was pretty great, I myself suffer from a mild form of Aspergers, and even though I'm nothing like that girl, I can relate with how uncomfortable social situations can be. Ironically, my Aspergers hasn't turned me into an expert shooter, so I'm a little bit jealous. This book is the anti-twightlight, the Vampires are not romantic creatures or what you see in Interview with a Vampire. The ending was very surprising,although I do wish it had gone further. I wonder if there's going to be a second book? Either way, Mr. Miller writes very visual books. They're very enjoyable, they're like watching a movie in your head. I have read everything he has written, except for his exorcist book which somehow I didn't like, but everything else I have loved. Truly a work of art I was a huge Tim Miller fan with Dark Exorcist and The Hand of God Series but now-now it is official. He is genius when it comes to writing dark and amazing stories. With Blood Slayer, the main character is not some hot, smexy person who knows what they are and how they came to be that way. The heroine in this story is a teenage girl who is Autistic and has a run-in with a vampire who can't charm her. She is then saved by a vampire slayer who is intrigued by her. From there, Tim takes you to the compound where she trains with the slayers and becomes a part of the unit. On a routine trip to a hive, Jessica runs into someone from her past who she thought to be long gone. Lives are changed and questions arise when Jessica is bitten. She is the key to it all. I would say more but that would ruin the awesomeness that is in this book. Find out more when you read Blood Slayer. Highly Recommend !!! I am in love with this book ! I normally am not a huge fan of YA, but I am very impressed with this story. Mr. Miller has done an incredible job with literally every aspect of this story. The main character, Jessica, is Autistic and has a no-nonsense attitude about that.

Title: Songs Eight Six Author: Lisabeth Posthuma Narrator: Rachel Rauch Format: Unabridged Length: 16 hrs and 20 mins Language: English Release date: 06-20-14 Publisher: Jasper Light Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Teens, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Publisher's Summary: What if a world beyond all you've ever imagined really existed? And what if choosing it only cost you everything you've ever loved? Cosette Miller had all she ever wanted -Westley Greene. But when the love of her life is caught up in the riptide of a hometown tragedy, Cosette finds herself mourning the loss of the "normal" she's always clung to and begins to ask what she's never had to wonder before: What more could there be to life than Westley? Cosette's journey for an answer leads her to Micah, a familiar stranger who shows her a world beyond her own where she discovers the super behind all that is natural, and a life of meaning and purpose that she's never allowed herself to dream of. Once Cosette's eyes have been opened - she can't force them shut again. To know is to face a choice, and no matter her decision - there will be a price to pay. Due to some mild language and adult situations, the author personally recommends this book for ages 15 and older. Members Reviews: Keeps you wondering Warning contains spoilers: I am not really sure how I feel about this story. It kept me wondering what was going to happen, thus I read it pretty quickly. Cosi's sister was a horrible person, I couldn't stand how she treated her and got away with it. Her dad and grandmother took no active role in her life and that really bothered me too. The whole teenage engagement put me off too. They had no real life experience. It made me sad the Cosi had nothing in her life besides Westely. She needed to find a hobby or some friends. Really unfortunate that at 18 she had no ambitions for her life. And the garden was not in my opinion convincing enough to stay. Sure it was beautiful, but the author didn't give a compelling enough reason to want to stay there. Unpredictable, unlike anything I've read. An ENJOYABLE journey you may want to read more than once. I read the reviews before I started the book and I was slightly intimidated. I'm not a fan of science fiction and I knew this wasn't a typical romance between high school sweethearts. I expected it to get surreal at some point and wasn't sure if I could believe it when it did. (It's not science fiction either, by the way.) The descriptions in the book paint the setting clearly - and not only did I get to know the characters, I had strong feelings about them. There were characters I loved, at least one that I hated...and some that I'd like to know more about (I'm eagerly waiting for the second book to help with that). Though I tried, I couldn't predict anything that would happen. When the story unfolded, even went places I wasn't expecting, I was most surprised that it didn't seem improbable at all. Going along for the ride is half the fun of any story - and it was nice to be surprised for a change. Warning: once I reached the halfway point, I couldn't put Songs Eight Six down. At all. Not until the last page. Endless Twists and Turns Posthuma has the uncanny ability to write characters that both speak and act believably. Not only is her plot engaging and original, but she has created people with depth and humanity, making them very relatable for any reader regardless of age or background. While the story does take some time to find its footing, Posthuma eventually takes her audience on an exciting, unpredictable journey that will keep readers up long into the night.

Title: Fleeing Peace Author: Sherwood Smith Narrator: Stephen Bel Davies Format: Unabridged Length: 18 hrs and 10 mins Language: English Release date: 10-22-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Teens, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Publisher's Summary: Siamis said, "Your young friend Liere is not going to enjoy the trap she's walking into, I fear. But you figured that out, did you not? Why didn't she listen to you?" "To snap her fingers under your nose," Senrid retorted. "Irresistible." Siamis smiled gently. "But it's going to cost." Fifteen-year-old Senrid is newly king of the difficult warrior kingdom Marloven Hessjust in time to lose it, and find himself running for his life with two kids who once were his enemies. When Senrid is captured he overhears a secret - one he can use against the enemy, if he can get to the right place at the right time. Now the enemy is from Norsunder, in the form of a charismatic, handsome man named Siamis who can read minds, and who enchants people just by talking to them. Liere has always known she was special, which just increased her loneliness and sense of isolation. She can hear others' thoughts, and she senses the real emotions below the facade. When a golden-haired man named Siamis comes to her village and enchants the entire town around her, she finds herself on the run. Liere and Senrid couldn't be more different, but their goal is the same, to locate the powerful magic that will unravel Siamis' world enchantment. Chased by powerful enemies, Liere and Senrid are tested to the max as they form an alliance of kids to aid them, and gain magical support from surprising sources. Neither ever expected to discover something even more powerful than magic: friendship. Editorial Reviews: Love and romance, fantasy and magic intertwine in Sartorias-deles - lands where kids with remarkable abilities live in extraordinary and ever-evolving times. Stephen Bel Davies, veteran of New York and regional stages, performs Sherwood Smiths young adult fantasy adventure. Senrid of Marloven Hess, the deposed 15-year-old king, and the villager Liere, who can hear thoughts and perceive deep emotions, both find themselves on the run toward the powerful magic they hope will successfully combat the Norsunder enchanter Siamis powers. Although as different as can be, they form a powerful and surprising alliance with other young people and discover for themselves the completely unexpected: the magic of their own friendship. Members Reviews: I usually love anything by Sherwood Smith but this was just okay I usually love anything by Sherwood Smith but this was just okay. I think the main problem is that there's too much going on. Too many characters to keep track of, constantly evolving plot, etc. It's supposed to give backstory on Senrid and Sartora, among other things, but it's just too confusing and wishy washy. I actually had to put it down halfway through and haven't ever felt like finishing it. Too many characters I think the author bit off more than he could chew by bringing every character from his many stories into one book. And the ending was anticlimatic. Not his best. Four Stars Fun read for middle schoolers Like the Author Don't like THIS book So...I've read a few of Smith's books and enjoyed most of them so far...I highly recommend her Crown Duel book as well as Posse of Princesses or The Trouble With Kings...but this book was a sad departure from those charming books. The main problem with this book is that it's pretty boring really. The few twists the book does offer are completely predictable.

Title: Hunt Author: Claire Crow Narrator: Mike Ortego Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 12 mins Language: English Release date: 11-30-12 Publisher: Secret Fire Press Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Teens, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Publisher's Summary: Blowing off steam at a Saturday night party with the girl you really want to date can lead to hearing your friends' thoughts, pissing off the Faery King, and imminent mortal danger - if you're sixteen-year-old Kevin Landon, instant freak. His new normal: A best friend with a secret. A doomed rock-n-roll singer. A kidnapped father. Only Kevin can save them. But first he has to survive the Faery King's hunt. Members Reviews: Sucked me in from the first page Love this book and will definitely be reading the rest in the series. It was very easy to follow. Unlike some fantasy novels where there are so many characters, you need a list to keep track. I look forward to the next books to follow the characters on their paths. Engrossing read This review may contain spoilers This was given to me in ebook form from Confessions of a Bookaholic for review Summary: Blowing off steam at a Saturday night party with the girl you really want to date can lead to hearing your friend's thoughts, pissing off the Faery King , and imminent mortal danger - If your sixteen year old Kevin Landon, instant freak, his new normal, a best friend with a secret, A doomed Rock `n' Roll singer, A kidnapped father, Only Kevin can save them. But first he must survive the Hunt.... What can I say, this book was action packed, I loved it, I would give this book 4.5/5, not sure if this is aimed at YA, as there were a couple of words that would worry me if my 12 year old daughter read it, but then it would be ideal for a 16/17 year old boy to read, Well lets start on the characters, First you have Kevin our hero, who it turns out is a freak, he can hear people's thoughts when he is in mortal danger, but that's not as freaky as some of the characters, his new best friend, Rude, real name Rudolph, not the reindeer, who it turns out has a massive secret that would freak out most people, then there is Amy, the girl Kevin has a major crush on and which seems completely mutual between them, There is Oscar the seer, who is Rude's mentor, can't say much more without giving it all away, there is the school councillor Mr Nance, who until later in the book you don't know if he is good or evil, we have Stacy. Short for Anastasia.

Spendlove Narrator: Patricia Albrecht Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 11 mins Language: English Release date: 08-13-12 Publisher: Silence in the Library / Wildside Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Teens, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Publisher's Summary: Eirnin's silver eyes, now showing hints of bright yellow, widened in astonishment as he stared, transfixed, at the red blood dripping from the wound on Story's foot. "What are you? A simple question with a not-so-simple answer for 17-year-old Story, who finds herself, a lone human, thrust in the middle of a war between creatures she once thought only existed in faerie tales. Members Reviews: Solid YA Fantasy and interview with the author In this animated video I review Janine Spendlove's War of the Seasons Book One - The Human. It's a solid 4 star Young Adult fantasy offering that doesn't have any strong language, excessive violence, or other graphic content. All in all, it is a well told tale that I enjoyed reading. Janine was kind enough to answer my questions and we conduct a mini interview at the end. Thank you for watching. A Fun YA Adventure Janine Spendloveâs âWar of the Seasons Book 1: The Humanâ is a well-written YA portal fantasy told from the perspective of Story, a young woman grappling with a deep trauma and her struggle to connect with others, including her friends. When Story stumbles into an obviously alien world after surviving a harrowing spelunking accident, her reactions are understandable and believableâinitial disbelief followed by a search for understanding. I enjoyed following her journey to its conclusion. With Story, her heroine, I thought Spendlove did a good job of striking a balance between believable and heroicâsheâs strong and decisive while retaining her vulnerabilities. She's struggling to deal with and accept unfamiliar and often dangerous elements of this new world while also carrying the weight of a traumatic loss. Her soon to be partner-in-crime, Eirnin, is also a fun character and the snarky but respectful relationship they develop as the book continues is one of its more enjoyable elements. Soon after her arrival in this strange world, trouble finds Story in the form of not-so-mischievous fairies and a rather unfriendly elf. Sheâs soon off on a quest to discover why parts of this world (and her strange dreams) feel so familiar, making allies and getting entangled in the worldâs problems while dealing with an antagonist of the most insidious sortâ Morrigann, Prince of the Fairies. As the chief obstacle on her journey, Morrigann is both seductive and dangerous, and I liked that he had clear reasons for opposing Story. From the perspective of the fairies, Morrigann might even be a hero, and thatâs always a sign of a good antagonist. He often shows restraint when opposing her and is even, in some cases, sympathetic. Thereâs also a good bit of romance in this book, and Story (as one would expect with a young woman inexperienced with love) does spend a decent amount of internal dialogue debating the merits of drawbacks of a relationship with a particular boy. This is another area where I thought Spendlove struck a good balance. The object of Storyâs affections is on her mind quite a bit, a common element of YA fiction, but never in a way that mitigates or sidelines her as the heroine.

Ron Hubbard Narrator: Nancy Cartwright Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 6 mins Language: English Release date: 08-25-08 Publisher: Galaxy Audio Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 28 votes Genres: Teens, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Publisher's Summary: Does size matter? Is bigger better? That's no small question to Tom Little - the circus midget with giant dreams. Tom may be king of the midgets, but he's got far grander ambitions - to become the muscleman at the top, the ringmaster. Now, drawing on some dark ancient secrets and mystic texts, he's about to get his wish. Imagine a pint-sized Mickey Rooney on steroids, trading up into a body like Burt Lancaster's. Then imagine paying the biggest price of all Assuming another man's identity, Tom discovers he must also take on his sins, debts, and enemies. He may be living large - but now there are those who want to make him pay for the big man's sins. Throughout his young life Hubbard was intrigued by mysticism and magic. From an old Blackfoot Indian medicine man in Montana to the last living magician descendant of Kublai Khan in China, from the Chamorro natives of Guam to voodoo displays in Haiti, he absorbed information and insight wherever he could - putting it all to marvelous use in stories like this. Also includes "The Last Drop", an astounding tale of a New York bartender who mixes some very magical drinks - to amazing effect. Critic Reviews: "The fascinating thing to me is that L. Ron Hubbard's fantasy stories, first published 50 and 60 years ago, are not dated in style, content or language. They are as fresh and interesting for times right now as they were when he conceived them." (Anne McCaffrey) "A master of the fast-action short story." (Robert A. Heinlein) Members Reviews: A very fun listen This audiobook really conveys the feel and atmosphere of an old time small circus. You get an inside look at circus life. The book is not actually narrated by Nancy Cartwright. She plays the voice of two of the characters as far as I can tell. The cast is Nancy Cartwright, Lynsey Bartilson, Corey Burton, Bob Caso, R.F. Daley, Jennifer Darling, John Mariano, Jim Meskimen, Phil Proctor and Tait Ruppert. You get quite a bit more than you expect from this story. It has a great message and is very fun to listen to. Good read. What did you love best about If I Were You? You could hardly tell the What was one of the most memorable moments of If I Were You? Tiger, Tiger, heh wont spoil it for you, but their were many. What about Nancy Cartwrights performance did you like? I dare say all of it.

Fendley LLC Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Teens, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Publisher's Summary: Spending spring break in Peru with her grandmother isn't sixteen-year-old Jade's idea of fun. She'd much rather be with her friends at Lake of the Ozarks. Then she meets Felix, a museum director's son. Jade discovers only she and Felix can telepathically access messages left on engraved stones in the age of dinosaurs. Following the ancient stones' guidance, they enter the Labyrinth of Time and - with a shapeshifting dog's help - seek a red crystal called the Firestone. But time is running out before the First Men return on the night of the second blue moon. Can Jade restore the Firestone's powers before the First Men return to judge humanity? Members Reviews: Reviewer from LibraryThing! (SteelLibrarian) Would you listen to The Labyrinth of Time again? Why? I absolutely loved this book! I would read it again. To be honest, I never listen to audiobooks but it caught my attention right away. Having an interest in rocks and geology myself (as well as labyrinths) I was immediately attuned and listening to the story. What did you like best about this story? I liked that the author was unique in her writing. I have never read a young adult novel quite like this one, and I am a Librarian! It would seem like the author has some education/background in geology or rock sorting. Have you listened to any of Shelby Lewiss other performances before? How does this one compare? I have never listened to Shelby Lewis's other performances because this was my first. I would listen to her in the future though. dont let the cover deter you The Labyrinth of Time by T.W. Fendley. Narrated/Performed by Shelby Lewis. This unabridged audio is 6 hours and 34 minutes long. Genre: Fantasy and Magic. Young Adult. A young 16 year old, Jade finds herself going on Spring break to Peru with her grandmother. She is not at all excited about this trip. What possibly could they do that her grandmother would be able to handle. Sight seeing at museums. Well, it turns out the one museum they do go in is where she meets Felix. Felix, the son of the museum director. He is immediately drawn to her as she is with him. They find that they have something in common. Strange and mysterious powers. Powers that send them to another dimension. Jade is the one person that needs to help restore the power of the Firestone. Can Jade do it in time before the world ends during the Blue Moon. What does a dog that has been following them through out the Labyrinth of Time have to do with all this? How will he help them discover the red stone. What was engraved on the Age of the Dinosaur stone? What does it mean? How will this help Jade restore the Firestones powers. The author T.W. Fendley created an amazing tale that takes you as the listener to another time. The prologue of the book is very important part that all comes full circle in the end of the book. Every part of the book was well thought and planned out. Did not have me as a listener wondering what was going on or wondering why something happened and the reason for it. The flow of the story was very well written. It kept me wanting to know what was going to happen next. The choice of the narrator that performed the book Shelby Lewis did an amazing job with the flow of the story. However, there was no voice changes like some stories. A bit but, that was fine. I liked the way she read and performed the entire story. You knew when it was Jade speaking or the other female characters.

See how it all ends! A black Rose dies.... Now it's time to run.... The one I love, lost.... Oh, God, what have I done? What if vampires were the good guys and a human girl was the one to fear? Death of a Black Rose, book three in The Rose Trilogy, is a paranormal romance that concludes with a heroine who's now the one to fear, a vampire who vows to save the soul of the one he loves, and a vampire clan whose new Sire is already facing extinction. Members Reviews: This is a must read!!! This is the final book in The Rose Trilogy. It was bittersweet reading this book knowing that it was the last book in the trilogy. Without giving any spoilers away...I was surprised at how some of the things progressed in the book. It was an emotional ride, but it was a good emotional ride. It is hard to write a review and not give away any spoilers. Let me just say that I love this book. I love how it ended and I highly recommend this series and this author!!! A must read. This is a great series. It flowed really well. Couldn't stop reading. Tish is a fantastic author. Patiently waiting for the next book. Great ending! YAY, finally, the last book from The Rose Trilogy by Tish Thawer is here and I had the chance to read and review it! I really fell in love with the two first books and the novella, so I was eager to learn how this story would end! I loved to read about Meredith and Jeremy kind of life now that Rose wasn't in the picture anymore. The action was, as usual, non-stop and really gripping and the best part was about Rose. It was awesome to read about Rose' transformation into an hybrid. It was dark, powerful and dangerous. The mystery surrounding her transformation and wondering what she will become was well builded. Her life had only one purpose now and it was feeding and destroy the ones that caused her pain. Meredith got a bit on my nerves but I think it was on purpose. She the ''bad guy'' and even if her actions/behavior seems to make sens from her point of view (for the greater good of her race), I think she deserve everything that happened to her. She was a total bitch! Christian's feelings were so intense toward Rose and what is happening to her. He thought he took the right decision but after what Rose has become, doubts is lurking in the back of his mind. Poor Christian, always looking for the best for his love, to make her happy and everything seems so difficult and far away! Unfortunately there was a point that bother me: What I liked the most in the first books was the growing relation between Rose and Christian. In the third book, the emphasis was more on Christian and Loraine (Rose mother) and Meredith' campaign. Both were interesting but the main subject in this trilogy was the relation between Rose and Christian, plus, the history surrounding vampires, demons and their rivality. I was left unsatisfied on Rose and Christian part. Even if I would have loved to read more about Rose and Christian together, the storyline was enough gripping and hold me hostage and to continue reading! The final step in The Rose Trilogy is a must if you have started to read the first books or if you are looking for a YA/Adult paranormal romance with vampires and demons! ARC Review - EndlessReadingBlog The final is here.

Bradford Swift Narrator: W. Bradford Swift Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 14 mins Language: English Release date: 01-23-13 Publisher: Life On Purpose Institute, Inc. Genres: Teens, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Publisher's Summary: Zak Bates is pretty normal for a 16 year old. Okay, he does own his own zoo, but other than that, he's pretty average. But when he's visited by Ra-Kit, a magic cat with a bad catnip habit on a life or death mission, he is ill prepared for the assignment she blackmails him to accept - to represent the Animal Kingdom before the United Nations' Conference on Global Warming. Together, Zak, Ra-Kit and Sampson, Ra-Kit's canine traveling companion, must persuade the world governments to stop poisoning the planet or face a global rebellion of the animals that could cost millions of lives on both sides and throw the world into irreversible chaos? Dominion Over All is the first in a series of Young Adult novels intended for animal lovers of all ages. Travel with Zak and his friends as they take on the environmental challenges that threaten our world as well as theirs Members Reviews: charming, good for kids I was charmed by this book about a boy who's pressed into service by the world's animals to plead their case before the UN. I would recommend for middle grade to YA readers, probably ages 11 to 15, depending on the reading level of the kid. Of course, mom and dad will like it too! REALLY, REALLY GOOD! This was a fun romp and totally addicting. I almost didn't write this so I could get on to the next book but I decided it was good for me so...I should tell you. That way you can read it and it will be good for you! I highly recommend this book tombstone of any age! :) HIGHLY RECOMMEND! :) Fantasy for a Cause This book is a fantasy escape aimed at youngsters who want to see themselves in the role of hero saving the world from its environmental sins. While I agree with those who comment that the environmental issues are over simplified, and found the adult characters somewhat underdeveloped, the story has an interesting plot which kept me, an adult, fully engaged. There are some dangling characters at the beginning and a rather vague handling of gaps of time which resulted in the rating I gave. However, I understand this to be the beginning of a series, and suspect those dangling characters may be more fully utilized later. But as a reader I expect each book to stand on its own, which this one does. Full disclosure: I had the privilege of reading a review copy. As you may guess from the narrative above, I was asked to be honest. I suspect that some of the objections I have would not apply to most younger readers who will enjoy this adventure and fantasy. Enjoyable for all ages This is a story about Zak, his dog, a magical cat and their mission to save the planet from environmental problems. The author has done a nice job of bringing a story to life that people of all ages can enjoy. There is a strong message woven through the story that we need to work to save our planet from all of the things being done that harm it. Although the story is a bit over simplified it is an engaging read that will keep you turning the pages. First books in a series are sometimes a little harder to get into because the author has to set everything up, I think this was done quite nicely. I'm anxious to see what happens in the next book to see if some of the characters that were introduced play a bigger role.

"Who are you to decide that?" "And who are you to reject all that is ancient and sacred to our culture?" he spat back. "You think you just stumbled onto some other place and you can leave as you please. But we are real people with a real history. We have waited for generations for a prophecy to come true, and you act as if it is nothing!" Transported along with four friends onto a mysterious and magical Island, Whitnee Terradora wants nothing more than to return home safely - until she starts performing supernatural feats such as cyclones, healing, and communicating with the plant she accidentally set on Fire. Suddenly, finding the Island seems like more than just a coincidence. When an ancient prophecy causes a controversy among the leaders of the White Island, Whitnee questions who is looking out for her interests, and who is interested only in gaining power. Even Gabriel, her one ally on the Island, has secrets that both confuse and allure her. Who can Whitnee really trust to find out the truth about herself and her missing father? Could Whitnee really be the answer to the White Island's problems and if so, is it worth the danger of never returning home? Critic Reviews: "Dallas has a captivating command of detail... Phantom Island isn't just for teenagers; it's for anyone who hasn't forgotten how to read - how to imagine and empathize and create... Everything about the Island kept me turning pages when I should have been sleeping." (Renea McKenzie, Book Reviewer for Probe Ministries) Members Reviews: Amazing! In this book Whitnee, Caleb, Morgan, Kevin, and Amelia finally finish their journey......but not quite as hoped. Some people that we thought were good turned out to be the exact opposite. But with that this question comes up again. Will Whitnee's father ever be found? Will he come back to the Mainland? These questions that we for sure thought would be answered no, might actually be closer to a yes than we think. However nothing is free. Will Whitnee be willing to make extreme sacrifices in order to get her dad back? Who is the really enemy? Will Whitnee decide which boy she wants to be with? Buy this book to find out! Krissi Dallas is an amazing author (as well as a teacher if I do say so myself.) I have no complaints about this book. It is worth your money FOR SURE! -Kat <3 Holy Guaca-flippin-mole!! I can't believe how spellbound I am by Krissi Dallas's characters. She weaves a story so enticing and loveable that you'll laugh, cry, and lose endless amounts of sleep just staying awake to read the next page. I love the sense of family and friendship within Krissi's characters, and elemental powers, danger, mystery, and a touch of romance just make THAT much more amazing. Stellar sequel from a stellar author! Teen Drama So much teen drama I could puke. I was turned off from this book from the get go. Love triangles are good if they are done right, and I really feel this one was not. Five Stars Enjoyed the book More adventures on the White Island Windfall is book two of the Phantom Island series by Krissi Dallas. It picks up right where Windchaser left off.

Mobley Narrator: Michelle Chaho Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 35 mins Language: English Release date: 08-08-14 Publisher: Christina Mobley Books Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Teens, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Publisher's Summary: There are people born in this world with a powerful connection to the Earth itself. They have an unbreakable and extraordinary bond. Every seven years, five people are born on the same day, at the exact same time. The elements bind them; earth, fire, wind, water, and spirit. They call them, Elementris. Ava Vangeretta is 17 years old and different. Unlike most born of the element, she was born alone. She has the power of all five elements. Ava is the first True Elementris to be born in many years. As her 18th birthday approaches, she is faced with a choice. Give up this rare gift and live the normal life she has always craved or accept it and challenge the current True Elementris in a battle to the death. Ava's past haunts her as she struggles to decide. In her present, the seasons are colliding together, storms are destroying lives, and love is a dangerous curse. The current True Elementris is behind it all, and she will do whatever necessary to keep Ava from making it to her 18th birthday. Ava's decision threatens the lives of the two people she cares about most. Can you choose between love and friendship? Get ready for the storm.... Members Reviews: Awesome Book This is an absolute must read. I enjoyed every word down to the last page. I love how she was able to take me into another world with her. I always judge a book by how well it captures my attention and transports me to fantasy land. It was accomplished in this book. I can not WAIT till the next book. Fantastic new series This book had been in my kindle for about a month before I got to it, now I wish I had read it sooner. Ava is 17 and has known she could do magic from a very early age. Her mother could not take it and dumped her with her aunt. Now she will have to choose on her eighteenth birthday if she wants to keep her magic or give it up and become "normal". But Ava is not just an ordinary Elemental who has magic over only one of the elements, she has control over all five. She could be queen of the Elementals. Because of this the current queen is looking for her to kill her before she turns eighteen and inherits her power. She is also being hunted by a group of black magicians who want to turn her power. Ava just wants to go to her prom and graduate high school. She also will have to choose between the boy she's had a crush on for years who has finally noticed her and a man who saved her and comes to her in her dreams. The story flows wonderfully and is well written. A few of the "surprises" are easy to figure out before they are revealed but it does not take away from the book. I look forward to reading the next book in the series. A Modern Fantasy for anyone. This book was fantastic. I really enjoyed reading it from start to finish. I always love when fantasy is mixed in with the modern world. It makes it all that much more believable. Christina did an excellent job making this book into something that anybody can read. There isn't an overload of one genre, but many mixed in very well. It made for a delightful read. All the characters were really well developed and they were all great. Ava was an amazing lead character. She was strong, and young, and just coming into her own. I liked that she had to really struggle with the choices she made and had to learn to believe in herself. There were some really surprising moments in this book that made me go "OH".

Leave out the blushes, and tingles and heart pitter patters What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike? The narator has a pleasant voice and tries not to interpret the story. She doen't do the male characters well. Tough since half of the narrative is a teenaged boys. You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? Had a clever and good premise. Any additional comments? If you are not a teenaged girl, avoid this book.

Other Side of Forever Audiobook by Shannon Eckrich

Title: Other Side of Forever Author: Shannon Eckrich Narrator: Libby Clearfield Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 11 mins Language: English Release date: 08-29-13 Publisher: Crushing Hearts and Black Butterfly Publishing Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Teens, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Publisher's Summary: Seventeen-year-old Allie Anderson's telekinetic powers are anything but useful - she can't bring her father back, can't stop her mother's downward spiral into alcohol, and can't keep her from falling in love with Ethan Bradley. Loving Ethan is easy, but it comes with a hefty price: Ethan is prohibited by his people from interacting with mortals - because he isn't mortal himself. When Allie and Ethan's love is discovered, there's someone who will do anything to keep them apart. If Allie can't learn to control her powers and fight to save Ethan, this dark entity will make every attempt to stop her beating heart. And if that happens, not even the energy of an immortal can bring her back. Members Reviews: Excellent young adult paranormal romance! An angst-ridden teenage girl who questions everyone and everything--including herself--discovers strength is not only in the personal demons and otherworldly darkness that she must overcome, but in self-acceptance as well. Shannon Eckrich accurately portrays the fickle and oftentimes cruel harsh realities of a high school circle of friends' dynamics. The main character suffers from trust and abandonment issues and fears discovery of her abilities and the truth about her painful home life will lead to more, so she remains closed-off to even her closest friends. She finds refuge in the mysterious new boy who, while adding to the chaotic life she already leads by involving her in his own strange world, helps her to realize that her abilities--and love--are both gifts and nothing to fear. It was great to see her find her courage by the end of the book, along with the glimmer of hope that things will start looking up--eventually. I look forward to reading future books that will provide more answers and background to some of the characters. Exciting I just finished this book and I really liked it. This book was a page turner. She drew you into the story by making her characters seem like real people with real problems. I was so into the story, I didn't realize I had come to the end of the book until the last page. I'm looking forward to reading more from the author Shannon Eckrich The other side of Forever. Loved this story of the other side of forever a girl lost and on her own finds a very happy ending, one I would not mind having This Author Does A Awesome Job I've Read Most of her Books Haven't found one I don't Love. This book did not disappoint. I love her writing style and character building I have been a Shannon Eckrich Fan since the day I picked up Haunting Lia. This book did not disappoint. I love her writing style and character building. Captivating Could not stop reading..had to know what new twist would take place with Ethan and Allie. I was so drawn in I felt like I was there living through the experiences with the characters. Great read!!

Torres Narrator: Andy Babinski Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 29 mins Language: English Release date: 12-03-12 Publisher: Ascend SQ LLC Genres: Teens, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Publisher's Summary: Love kills. The last American, postapocalyptic government, Commerce City, owns 16-year-old Eric Skye, who wants nothing more than to maintain his life in slavery and to keep a watchful and protective eye on his twin sister. The ruling dictator, Minister Taybor, obsesses over creating an international alliance to insure his own survival. To put down a rebellion and prepare for international visitors, he decides to reassign work for Commerce City's orphan boys and girls. Eric is taken away from his twin sister and pressed into military service. Eric's life twists and turns with every day he's away from his sister. Only his love keeps him from surrendering to the anguish he suffers. Only love makes him never give up on his sister, the only family he's ever known. Members Reviews: Young heros face-down danger in a frightening future world Loved this book--a fast-moving action story set in a dystopian future world. Orphan hero Eric escapes from slavery and the dictator's army in a life-or-death venture to rescue his twin sister. He joins forces with the powerful and beautiful young Nayla, the chief of the planet's last remaining free tribe. Together, mastering martial arts and tapping into mystical, natural powers, Eric and Nayla face down the corrupt and ruthless Commander and his army--evil rulers engaged in controlling the world via the perfection of thought control and the experimental breeding of dangerous mutants. Eric's quest is to save his sister from the Commander's high-security mind-control laboratories, and at the same time help Nayla save the spirit of her people. Author Torres creates admirable young heroes with strong values and family loyalties. Even as he builds our connection with these characters, the action of the story never lags, thanks to his superb writing style: succinct, powerful language that builds the narrative to an edge-of-the-seat battle followed by a shocking twist... A great read for teens! This book was great! I could hardly keep my eyes off the page! I loved watching the struggles of Eric as he battled against himself, his enemies, and freakish mutant monsters! The story moves quickly and is filled with all the best of storytelling; great fight scenes,heroism, and a powerful tale of a brother willing to stop at nothing to save his sister from evil.

Title: Seabird Subtitle: Narentan Tumults, Book 1 Author: Sherry Thompson Narrator: Vanessa Hart Format: Unabridged Length: 20 hrs and 6 mins Language: English Release date: 03-07-12 Publisher: Gryphonwood Press Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Teens, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Publisher's Summary: When Cara Marshall is transported to Narenta, she is proclaimed champion of its people against the sorcerous daemagos. Amid the grateful welcomes, Cara protests that she has been "world-napped", and wants neither her title nor her mission. "They've got the wrong person and they're going to get me killed because they won't admit it." With no knowledge of weapons or magic, can she save the Narentans and find her way home? Members Reviews: A Work of Tremendous Imagination and Great Devotion Seabird is a work of high fantasy which will appeal to aficionados of the genre who appreciate tales that recount the struggles, failures, and triumphs of reluctant heroes. Teenager Cara Marshall is the reluctant hero of Seabird. Plucked from a predictable life of summer vacation at the local beach, younger sibling to baby-sit and game arcade dates with her boyfriend, Cara is suddenly and inexplicably transported to the distant and less technologically sophisticated world of Narenta. And from the moment she arrives nothing is predictable. Cara finds herself alone in a weird and wonderful landscape filled with strange, exotic creatures and a race of bird-like people that call themselves the Young Ones who believe that Cara, whom they call "the Outworlder," has been sent by their God, Alphesis, to deliver them from the evil of the Daetaga, a trio of ancient life-destroying sorcerers. When all her efforts and repeated pleas to be returned to her own world fail to convince the Young Ones that she is not the hero they think she is, Cara sets out on her own to find a way home. And so begins her great and arduous journey. On her trek across Narenta she soon discovers that not only does almost everyone she meets know more about who she is and why she is there than she does, but also that she is being pursued by forces whose only objective is to destroy her. Along the way Cara is both betrayed to her enemies, the Shadow, and aided by wise and noble enchanters and the courageous and spiritually evolved Seabirds, servants of the Light, who selflessly give themselves to her protection and guide her to an understanding of her destiny and of the mission only she can undertake and complete. Cara learns, often as a result of great personal loss, what it means to give of oneself to serve a greater good - for almost without realizing it she comes to accept her strange destiny - and to seek victory over evil in the face of devastating odds, to face fear, death and the unknown with fortitude and courage born of faith, even though there is little hope of survival. The first third of Seabird moves forward at a leisurely and exploratory pace, but action-loving readers shouldn't despair. As the plot begins to unfold the story picks up momentum and moves relentlessly forward with plenty of conflict. both physical and magical, as battles and inter-personal struggles are waged across Narenta until the story's powerful conclusion. Seabird is a work of tremendous imagination and great devotion. With good humor and a light touch Ms.

Title: Whitby After Dark Author: Stella Coulson Narrator: Rachel Kennedy Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 59 mins Language: English Release date: 01-13-16 Publisher: Stella Coulson Genres: Teens, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Publisher's Summary: Lenore Lee wants nothing more than to make new friends in her new town of Whitby, Yorkshire, and to forget about the disturbing dreams that hold her captive at night. But what she discovers in Whitby, might be even more disturbing than the dreams. Dreams which may hold the key to her survival in the hidden world of the supernatural. Members Reviews: MORE THAN JUST A VAMPIRE NOVEL I enjoyed this short Vampire novel about the lovely Goth, Lenore Lee, a teenage misfit with an abusive stepfather, and problems with life at a new school in the town of Whitby, where strange and disturbing things happen after dark. Written in first person, this story is from Lenore's perspective as she deals with nightmares, demons, and a clan of hero-vampires. She becomes bonded to one vampire, and they tell her she is a Witch. So the story is about relationships, empowerment, and finding acceptance in a world in which you don't feel you quite fit in. This is a different and new take on Vampires, Demons and Shape Shifters, and I like how the story moved along and played itself out. (I wanted more about the villain of the tale, but I don't want to give away any spoilers.) I guess this is an "origin" story, for it's about how Lenore first meets up with the vampires, how she finds acceptance, friendship and even love. And then she begins her training. Stella Coulson gives us with some wonderful poems after the novel ends -- a bonus treat. She has a gift for storytelling, empathy for her characters, and a real love for the Vampire Genre. No doubt we'll be hearing more about Lenore. A Breathless Peek into a Beginning Lenore Lee is a troubled, young girl. She endures abuse. As her family has yet again moved to a new place, she opens this tale ready to meet her new school mates. This progress rapidly from there. The story proves a very short read that even finds enough room to end with some poetry. I was stymied by noticeable errors right from the start. There were even inconsistencies and over-usage of italics. It made things confusing in some parts but not enough to severely hamper. What I found more of a challenge was how swiftly things moved and even how oddly characters seemed to act. The story is an interesting one, charming, positive, and not entirely unlike a fairy tale. The subject matter at its core is very serious. The presentation, though, is not. I felt that the brevity of the novel (55 pages) swept everything through too quickly and neatly. Things felt to resolve so fast that I wondered that everyone hadnât already gone through this before, such was their seeming preparedness, adaption, and even sudden ability. The reader is subject to revelations at a rapid fire pace, and I, for one, was left wanting to know more. Can't wait to read more Reviewed on behalf of Ladies Living in Bookland Lenore is settling into her new school, new life and new friendships as she moves to Whitby with her mum and Stepfather, Adam. But the story line had me gripped from the first page. Her stepfather, Adam really would be everything he lived up to be. A true monster. ------------------------------ He played the role of family man so perfectly. He acted like he possessed compassion; he used to do odd jobs for elderly neighbors, fixing leaking taps and putting up shelves. He even used to be nice to me. He was the nearest thing Iâd ever had to a father. Mum loved him so much.

Tivu the Cloudwalker appears, and the time to pass through the Wall of Glass draws near. But the prophecy says only One can enter.... Members Reviews: IABookReviews.com gave this a 9.0/10.0! Rating: 9.0/10.0 Review: World building, Scenery, and Character Drive...All of which is required to get put on my "To Read Again" shelf...and this book has made it happen. The storyline was great, but the scenery and world building was brilliant. I loved this book, and the best part is you don't have to read the first book to understand what's going on! I'm going to go back and pick up the 1st book (DreamQuest) next! I'd recommend this to any Fantasy fan! Reviewed by IABookReviews.com ProphecyQuest Is A Fast-Paced, Engaging Page Turner The one thing that separates ProphecyQuest from similar titles in the fantasy genre is the quality of writing. A lesser talented writer would have simply made a mess of mixing all of the characters together with the numerous events that unfold over the course of the storyline. In this book, however, the characters are wonderfully developed, coming to life on the page as you read along. The events are beautifully detailed as well, helping for the reader to easily envision the world in which this fantasy novel takes part. As a result, ProphecyQuest is a very satisfying read, particularly for fantasy fans, and the novel transforms into a page turner as the story quickly gains momentum. The book can easily be read in one or two sittings, and it is one of those titles that you'll be reading way past bedtime once you get started with it. As the title implies, this is a quest-based fantasy. In the book, a wizard named Tarthur sets out to recover a long lost friend from the clutches of evil. His friend, a shapeshifter named Yan, once made a great sacrifice that resulted in a period of peace and prosperity throughout the land of Daranor. Years later, however, Tarthur is still disturbed by this sacrifice and when he hears about visions of a long lost Power of Air that is being seen throughout Daranor, he sees an opportunity to not only begin another adventure but to bring his friend back in the process. Things are complicated, however, when a long lost scroll points to Tarthur's ten year old son as being the only person capable of capturing the lost power and saving Yan. From the very first page, you'll quickly become immersed in this fantastical world where nearly anything seems possible. While ProphecyQuest is a young adult novel, it is filled with themes that most adult readers will appreciate. In fact, after reading some rather jaded works by other modern authors, I thought that the characters in Pottle's book were refreshingly human, each having strengths and flaws, yet seeking to overcome their deficiencies in order to achieve a greater good. Author Bill Pottle does an excellent job at world building and pacing, creating a reading experience that fantasy fans will particularly relish. For those who enjoyed Lord of the Rings, Narnia, and the Harry Potter series, there is much to be found and enjoyed within the pages of this book. From what I understand this is part of a trilogy of books, yet ProphecyQuest is accessible to anyone who has not read the first title. I didn't even know there was a previous title until I had finished the book.

Goldberg Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 31 mins Language: English Release date: 11-13-12 Publisher: Secret Fire Press Ratings: 2 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Teens, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Publisher's Summary: The people in Diandra Brown's town tremble under the iron-fisted rule of Moms with psychic powers and Dads who enforce the law. They're surrounded by the deadly shadowland known as the void. The world has torn itself to pieces, they say. For humanity to survive, obedience comes first no matter the cost. Children must do what they're told, grow up to become Moms and Dads - or refuse and be thrown into the black. Di's obedience crumbles the night the Dads throw away her best friend. They come for her, too, but she won't allow them to decide her fate. She chooses of her own free will to step into the void. She expects a quick death. Instead she finds others like herself, the possibility of love she never thought she could have, and the chance to put the world back together - if she has the courage to try. Members Reviews: Not like anything I've read before... I really liked this book! The author did a great job of world-building, and her characters were complex and drew me into their issues and challenges. The main characters were young (and I am not) but that didn't interfere with my enjoyment at all. I don't remember exactly how old Diandra is, somewhere in the vicinity of eighteen or so I think, and her brother Willy is twelve or thirteen; nearly all the characters are in that range of ages, so if you don't care for coming-of-age stories, you probably won't want to read this one. But if you enjoy stories about personal growth, facing your worst fears and overcoming them, and meeting challenges head-on, you'll find a great story here. This was my first book by Claire Crow, but it won't be my last!

And opens up the possibility of knowing a mother who may not have drowned after all. Members Reviews: Couldn't Finish What did you like about this audiobook? I kept wondering if I were to read the book myself would I like it better....I think I would. The narrator was so bad that I found it impossible to finish. I tried off and on over 3 days to listen to it but the narrator was so distracting that I finally gave up. Does the author present information in a way that is interesting and insightful, and if so, how does he achieve this? I think she had a nice voice, but her narration was unendurrable. Her reading of the book was stilted and halting as she tried to read slowly and enunciate every syllable and sound. I found that I could not finish the book. I believe that with some practice she could be decent narrator, but she actually reuined the book for me.

Well, Piper is planning to break that rule - big time. After a near-deadly scandal with the Sahar Stone, she has the chance to return to the only life she's ever wanted. All she has to do to keep her Apprenticeship is forget about Ash and Lyre. Ash might be enigmatic and notoriously lethal, and Lyre might be as sinfully irresistible as he is irritating, but they're not bad for a couple of daemons. There's just one problem: Ash is missing. Really, she shouldn't risk her future for him. He lied. He betrayed her. But he also saved her life, damn it. Wherever he is, he's in trouble, and if she doesn't save his sorry butt, who will? But with every dangerous secret she unravels, each one darker than the last, she slips deeper into Ash's world - a world with no escape for either of them. Members Reviews: One of the best series I have read Non stop action. It keeps you in the edge of your seat. Never a dull moment in this series. Ash has disappeared and Piper goes looking for him. She knows she is not supposed to get involved with daemons but she can't help it. He has saved her life more than once. Love this series!!! good sequel...but...narrator awful Look, I purchased the first book and really enjoyed (well, actually, I liked it - ended up reading it on Kindle). The narrator Jorjeana Marie is actually quiet good on some books that she's narrated. However, ALL recent narrations from her are horrid - she has an extremely nasal delivery; and I don't mean "nasal" as in "accent" or "dialect" - I am from NYC and a lot of people think that a "New York" accent/dialect sounds nasal. That's NOT what I mean, I mean that this woman needs to seriously either blow her nose or get herself sorted out medically. She sounds like she has a horrid cold/flu/plague, etc. It's absolutely unbearable to listen to and should not be allowed to record audiobooks. It's not like the audiobooks are free for god's sake... This review is NOT for content of book or the author (I ended up purchasing a Kindle version so that I actually could enjoy the book). I just felt that it was appropriate to review the "narrator" since this is an audiobook site. So, please do, buy the book - it's quite good, but not in the audio format. Narrator blew her nose! Whew! The last book was a very annoying and distracting performance by the narrator, as everyone commented, including myself. This book read was MUCH less bothersome, but she still has that annoying habit in dropping the "L" sound in the middle of words. Ex: shoulder is pronounced "sho-der," told is "toad", etc.

Members Reviews: skiblts I love this series and love this author. A great set of books. If you like fantasy and humor read this. Love! Such a fun listen! I put this series on while I'm at the gym and it makes working out one hundred times better. The different character voices and quick banter make me smile. This narrator has pulled out all the stops!

His partner Aahz has disappeared, and it looks like foul play. Finding Aahz ought to be a snap for a talented magician like Skeeve, especially with a sassy apprentice and a dumb-but-brawny bodyguard along for the ride. The trouble is, they're sleuthing in another dimension. Members Reviews: Great 'G" rated story Would you listen to Mything Persons again? Why? Yes, Very fun and funny, without reverting to any bad langue. Who was your favorite character and why? Skeeve and auz are always a surprise, but the whole group is great! Which scene was your favorite? There is no way to chose, they are all great! Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? When auz comes back Any additional comments? Great entertainment for all ages! Even better than I remembered Another entertaining story. This is the first of the series that I actually enjoyed more listening to it than I did when I read it. I received some looks and shakes of the head from family members as I laughed out loud while listening. Love the M.Y.T.H. series Loved the books before and still love them today. They just seem better listening to they while house cleaning. The myth series I listen to this series over and over again - and it is great each time Best series ever I like how each book in the series is great and it's not the first book is okay, the second is worse, etc.

Midnight Alley Audiobook by Rachel Caine

Title: Midnight Alley Subtitle: Morganville Vampires, Book 3 Author: Rachel Caine Narrator: Cynthia Holloway Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 49 mins Language: English Release date: 11-10-09 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 494 votes Genres: Teens, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Publisher's Summary: A truce between the living and the dead isn't enough to keep Claire Danvers out of danger in this third entry in the Morganville Vampires series. Claire Danvers' college town may be run by vampires, but a truce between the living and the dead has made things relatively safe - for a while. Now people are turning up dead, a psycho is stalking Claire, and an ancient bloodsucker has proposed private mentoring. Members Reviews: interesting books, don't like the narrator I enjoyed reading the first 2 books in this series after they were recommended by a friend. I then purchased book 3 in audio, and had a hard time listening to it. The narrator is flat and uninteresting, it's almost as if she's reading it for the first time, not enthusiasm, no emotion. I will be reading the rest of the books, I couldn't tolerate listening to another book narrated like this one - just bad. Midnight Alley I think these books are fun! I just want to make it clear to everyone that audible does have books 1-7 available and it is important to read them in order. Good story, but abrupt unfinished ending I've enjoyed this series so far, but was very surprised, then disappointed when this one ended, completely unresolved. I even checked to see if I'd forgotten to download the 2nd half - but that wasn't the case. I imagine it was meant to be a cliff hanger - but instead it just feels as though the book stops for no reason. Many authors can manage to write series where each book still has a complete story - and this was true for the first two books of the series - but not this one. If this is the pattern for future books in the series - they've lost me as a buyer. Great Book I really love these books. they are well written and well read. Keeps you listening all the way to the end. then you can't wait to hear the next one. I am falling for this town Narrator: Great Story: Fun, imaginative, exciting Characters: Spunky and realistic I am so falling for this town and even though the residents seem a bit more abrasive? than your usual suburban citizens i think you will agree that it makes for a great story. Already listening to the next book. :)

Myth Conceptions Audiobook by Robert Asprin

Title: Myth Conceptions Subtitle: Myth Adventures, Book 2 Author: Robert Asprin Narrator: Noah Michael Levine Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 32 mins Language: English Release date: 04-15-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 516 votes Genres: Teens, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Publisher's Summary: After mistakenly being appointed court magician by a regent who should have known better, apprentice mage Skeeve must defend a kingdom from the mightiest invading army in the world. Members Reviews: Noah Takes It To The Next Level As a culture, we are always looking for the next best thing. Computers, cars, you name it. And, of course, books. Everything from urban fantasy to suspense, young adult to horror. Sometimes, though, what is New isnt what we really need. Instead, what is Old is new again, or rather, it should be! I just listened to Another Fine Myth by Robert Asprin, and narrated by Noah Michael Levine. First printed in 1978, I found the series way back then, and have the whole collection in paper. Recently, however, the books have come out on Audible.com and, of course, I have to buy them all again. How can I help it? Noah Michael Levine does an amazing job of narrating! His voice and cadence are absolutely perfect for the reading. His grasp of accents is amazing, and he really brings the characters to life. I spent all night last night in my workroom, working on holiday gifts, and though I got really tired about 4AM, I couldnt tear myself away. There is a sample reading on Audible, check it out and you will love it too! Why SHOULDNT Robert Lynn Asprins Skeeve be the next Harry Potter?! Its all there. Witches, Demons, and Wizards, Oh, My! And the Myth series is FUNNY. Like, burst out laughing on the airplane funny. And the voices by Noah take the laugh-out-loud character to a whole new level of laughter. Skeeve, the main character of the series, is an apprentice wizard. He doesnt really care all that much about being an apprentice wizard, of course. He was previously a thief, who got busted by the Wizard he was trying to rob. Instead of turning him into a frog, or something just as icky, the Wizard makes Skeeve an apprentice wizard. What are ya gonna do? During the summoning of the Demon Aahz, an Assassin comes to call and that is when things get rather messy. When the Wizard is killed, Skeeve is stuck now with the Demon Aahz, summoned from his own world, and none too happy about it. What follows? Well, you will just have to read the book to find out! Or rather, I would actually listen to it. You will NOT be disappointed if you like funny, well paced, creative and wonderful story lines. Enjoy!!!! More of the same, but not as good. Myth Conceptions picks up just after where "Another Fine Myth" left off, with Skeev, Aahz and Gleep looking for whatever comes next after dealing with Isstvan. In fairly short order they find themselves embroiled in court drama and military shenanigans. The story is told with the same style and level of humour as "Another Fine Myth" (the main thing that there is to enjoy about this book) and is pretty similar in plot come to that. I know that these books are meant to be light comic relief (well, I think they are) and I was really enjoying this one until about four-fifths of the way through when apparently Mr Asprin said "Meh, whatever, I'm done with this one", which really soured me on the whole thing.

Duel of Fire Audiobook by Jordan Rivet

The secluded kingdom has been peaceful for 100 years. Swords are used for sport, and successful athletes live like kings as long as the crowds love them. Eighteen-year-old Dara needs to find a wealthy patron in order to duel professionally and avoid a lifetime working in her parents' Fire Lantern shop. Her efforts are disrupted when her coach asks her to train with Prince Siv, an infuriating - if handsome - young man who refuses to take the sport as seriously as she does. But the prince's life may be in danger, and soon Dara will discover that Vertigon isn't as peaceful as she thought. As threats emerge from the shadows, Dara will have to raise her sword to protect Siv - if he doesn't irritate her so much that she decides to run him through herself. Members Reviews: Fantastic book with fantastic narration Any additional comments? This book is pretty much perfect in my opinion. Rivet's style isn't too flowery or wordy. The pace is great. The snowy, fiery mountain creates a great atmosphere. Rivet's depiction of a feudal society feels more convincing than in most mideaval-esque fantasies. I think that Dara's relationship with her parents is very unique and interesting. The plot gets a bit predictable, but I enjoyed it anyway. Best book I've read in a while. Excellent piece of supernatural epic fantasy for all ages. Duel of Fire is an excellent piece of supernatural epic fantasy, suitable for all ages. The narrator does a lot to bring out the color and feel of the people who are involved with the daily life and the family members of the two main characters. Set in a land ruled by a king in a time reminiscent of the middle ages but with a small amount of magic mixed in Dora, a daughter of a fire magè (that is not what they are called in the book but it is the best way to describe it) wants to be a swords woman instead of working in the family business Could not "put it down" Loved it! Finished it within a day rather than a couple days like I normally do with audio books. GOOD PLOT. EXCELLENT START TO A NEW SERIES. Very interesting. Well written and performed. Court intrigues, politics, magic, and lots of secrets. A budding romance between the heir to the throne and a girl who saved his life. Secrets and plots and counter plots in the realm. I will be downloading the next book to see what's going to happen next. Unique story. Well developed characters, interesting world. Able to see through parts of the plot, but the plot moved quickly and the people were interesting.

After all, she just lived through the devastating loss of her consul apprenticeship and a torturous stint at boarding school. How much worse could it get? Well, she wasn't expecting a group of crazy radicals to burn her home to the ground and take her prisoner. The Gaians, aka the crazy radicals, plan to rid Earth of daemons, and they need Piper's help. In exchange for her cooperation, they promise her the answer to all her problems: magic. With her own magic, she could reclaim her apprenticeship, the only future she's ever wanted. But her magic comes at price- it could kill her. With the only life she's ever known crumbling around her and her future slipping from her grasp, she needs Ash's help one more time. But the greatest danger of all lies within her, and no matter what she does, she may lose everything - including him. Members Reviews: Another Awesome Book for This Series I love this series! It has everything I look for in a audiobook. Mystery, action, adventure, drama, & romance. The characters are awesome. I could not wait for the next books to be released on audible so I got the kindle version to find out what is next. I'm planing to get all of them on Audible when it is released so I can listen to them again. I hope the Author will expand and write stories for several of the main characters when Piper & Ash's story wraps up. Spectacular I'm leaving this review on all of the books from this series, but no real spoilers here. I can say that I'm terribly sad that I'm almost done with the 5th book in this series (even if only 3 are on audible), I am worried that I won't be able to find another series that I love quite like this one, not for awhile. But in another way I'm a little bit glad that I am almost done because I can get back to my life afterward! I read a ton of books. I don't always leave reviews, but I had to leave one for this series because it kept me going and going and going. I never wanted to put it down. I had to force myself to do so. And when I found that the last two books were not on audible I almost cried, not kidding. The narrator, while not my favorite at first, ended up fantastic. The plot was awesome. Slight spoiler here: the love story is terrific. There wasn't much of the icky-sweet, romantic-puke, "our love is the strongest love that ever existed" crap that I see in other series that always makes me go "Really? C'mon now." This one was so much more realistic. I like that the characters are strong but faulted. I love how the friendship between the 3 grows so strong. I wish Piper would say "Thank you" once in awhile, but I'll get over it. I like how the twists happen, when you think one thing might happen and then, bam, another thing happens. This series had me gripped from *literally* (I'm using that with it's intended meaning), the first chapter of the first book. That is my favorite type of book, the kind that just grip you and won't let you go. I haven't had that happen to me for a long time and it was such a pleasant surprise, even if it did keep my up until 3 in the morning a few times.

Through this, she's able to reestablish the field around this vampire-infested Texas college town that protects it from outsiders. But the new upgrades have an unexpected consequence: people inside the town begin to slowly forget who they are - even the vampires. Soon, the town's little memory problem has turned into a full-on epidemic. Now Claire needs to figure out a way to pull the plug on her experiment - before she forgets how to save Morganville. Critic Reviews: "Claire's tough-girl attitude may remind adult readers of Rachel Morgan and her world of human-vampire interactions." (Booklist) Members Reviews: Great book! -Love this series! I was pleasantly surprised after reading each of the 9 books in this series, that I couldn't wait for the next book! Except for rare cases like this series, I get bored by the 4th or 5th book in most series since it seems to get more and more difficult to top the last one(or in some cases, the first one). This entire series kept me coming back for more with a great balance of character, suspense, intrigue, comic relief, and just enough romance. I'm impressed! I hope she keeps them coming! I can't wait for the next one! I NEED MORE!!!! All the fun and wit of Sookie, all the romance of Twilight with enough blood to keep it interesting. Great reader, I loved this series...............where do I go from here? Good Series Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? This is a great series but I wish the author would remember what has happened in her previous books. She has changed names of some people and changed when someone in the book was shot but she says the person was stabbed. It gets annoying after awhile. Over all a good series. Excellent book The Narrator Cynthia Holloway is excellent. The story line continues with Clair and her friends. You will not be able to put the book down. Good! Is there anything you would change about this book? I love it! It keeps me interested all the way. Would you be willing to try another book from Rachel Caine? Why or why not? Most definitely. I am going to continue with next book. Did the narration match the pace of the story? Yes If this book were a movie would you go see it? Yes

She soon discovers that the last person seen with one of the missing vampires is someone new to town - a mysterious individual named Magnus. After an uneasy encounter with Morganville's latest resident, Claire is certain Magnus isn't merely human. But is he a vampire - or something else entirely? Critic Reviews: "[Caine] can deal out amazing plot twists as through she was dealing out cards." (Charlaine Harris) Members Reviews: Cynthia Holloway is perfection I admit I was worried that this series had started to run out of steam after reading the tenth installment, Bite Club, but Im happy to say that the latest Morganville book put my mind at ease. Last Breath offers lots of surprises, reveals, action and emotion that make it one of the most satisfying of the series so far. Literally no one is safe this time from Morganvilles latest threat where the twists just keep coming. I couldnt have predicted any of the events that occurred this time around, and I love that Rachel Caine is taking so many exciting risks with her characters and providing such a juicy storyline this late in the series. This time around in Morganville theres a new threat that even has the vampires scared. Vampires are disappearing left and right and Amelie fears that the dreaded enemy that has hunted them for years has finally found them. Its interesting to learn about this new threat and what makes it so powerful and lethal to everyone in Morganville. Claire, Shane, Eve and Michael are facing a huge challenge, and I was holding my breath to see how they would come out of it. Through multiple narrations of Claire, Michael, Eve, Shane and Amelie, we get more character reveals that give a new insight into our favorite Morganvillians. There is also plenty of Myrnin as well and he plays a key role in this book. The characters go on quite a journey this time around. And the relationships they have built with each other and the other members of Morganville really make the events that occur that much more touching and meaningful. There is just the right amount of time spent with each character to move the story along and keep things interesting. The beginning of the book really threw me off track with how I expected the story to go, and the action just kept ramping up. There are plenty of emotional and romantic scenes though that balance out the drama and suspense. In fact, some of the biggest insights and vulnerabilities of the characters are revealed this time around. This is the third installment Ive read via audiobook, and I think this is now my favorite way to experience this series. The narrator, Cynthia Holloway, does an expert job with the characters. From Myrnin to Amelie, Claire to Shane, all of the character voices are distinct and believable.

The Dark Lord's Handbook Audiobook by Paul Dale

Title: The Dark Lord's Handbook Author: Paul Dale Narrator: Gildart Jackson Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 34 mins Language: English Release date: 11-04-14 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 456 votes Genres: Teens, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Publisher's Summary: To become a Dark Lord is no easy thing. The simple ambition to hold dominion over the world and bend all to your will sounds straightforward, but it's not. There are armies to raise, fortresses to build, heroes to defeat, and battles to be fought. After many spectacular failures, Evil decided to lend more than inspiration to these would-be tyrants. He wrote an easy-to-follow Dark Lord's Handbook. And yet the next Dark Lord that came along screwed up like all the others. It had been hundreds of years, and the Handbook was lost in the annals of time, along with all that was mythic and exciting in the world. Then one day, a randy dragon had a chance encounter. Nine months later a Dark Lord was born. In time, the Handbook found its way to this new contender: Morden. Members Reviews: "Beware the monologue!" Every hero has a beginning, but what about the villians? If it weren't for villains there would be no heroes, and that's where this story begins. Dale was able to craft a humorous novel about becoming a Dark Lord that made sense. The handbook spoke to the Dark Lord in-training of getting caught up in monologue while a hero is present, or putting all your power and energy into a single magical item just to lose it (as if it personally knew Sauron itself). Most of the advice given by the handbook are phrases you may already be familiar with, but with a twist. Ex: "Absolute power corrupts absolutely, but isn't that the point?" This novel is certainly not for everyone, but if you play Dungeons & Dragons and looking for a guide to creating your next star villain then this is not a bad choice. Started out good but turned into a drag Would you try another book from Paul Dale and/or Gildart Jackson? No, this felt like a cringe worthy attempt at a disc world novel. What could Paul Dale have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? Learn to actually develop characters instead of just talking about how they are suppose to be, and possible add some women who are annoying as hell and actually have more than 1 dimension of being evil/contrary/hot. Also... maybe come up with a more original name for the dragon than the one right out of World of Warcraft? Come on! He even mentions the Black Dragonflight WTF? What didnt you like about Gildart Jacksons performance? Spoke way too slowly and the voice acting as lady deathwing was unbearable, also the accents changed randomly so you can't tell who he is suppose to be. If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Dark Lord's Handbook? The entire middle section about a pointless voyage and a ridiculous war. More audiobooks by Paul Dale, please. It was a fun book and the narrator did a wonderful job with his performance. I am restlessly waiting for the next audiobooks in this series. I hope that I don't have to wait much longer. In this case, bad guys finish first. No doubt. This audiobook is great. It's great fun with a great sense of humor and a great narrator with the greatest villain voice ever. As an entertaining experience, this is so satisfying as a whole to listen to that it's almost a perfect package in what it does.

Title: The Final Descent Author: Rick Yancey Narrator: Steven Boyer Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 28 mins Language: English Release date: 10-08-13 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 100 votes Genres: Teens, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Publisher's Summary: Will Henry and Dr. Warthrop have encountered many horrors together, but can Will endure a monstrumological terror without his mentor? Will Henry has been through more than seems possible for a boy of fourteen. He's been on the brink of death on more than one occasion, he has gazed into hell and hell has stared back at him, and known his face. But through it all, Dr. Warthrop has been at his side. When Dr. Warthrop fears that Will's loyalties may be shifting, he turns on Will with a fury, determined to reclaim his young apprentice's devotion. And so Will must face one of the most horrific creatures of his monstrumology career and he must face it alone. Over the course of one day, Will's life and Pellinor Warthrop's destiny will lie in balance. In the terrifying depths of the Monstrumarium, they will face a monster more terrible than any they could have imagined and their fates will be decided. Members Reviews: Excellently written, impressively narrated One of the finest audio exhibits that I've had the immense pleasure of experiencing. The splendidly imagined setting and atmosphere are woven to life wonderfully by the narrator's voice acting and intononation. Snap to, reader! Sad I love anything by Rick Yancy.....and especially this final book....although the I am sad to lose Will Henry and Pellinore!! A tragic ending to a series that tragically ended too soon Not a happy ending. The puzzle pieces were all there in the first three books, so it actually is a fitting conclusion, and it does tie the series together, building on the previous narratives in ways they failed at times to connect with each other. But wow does it take a dark turn in an already dark serial. It is no accident that the author references Dante's Inferno and the book of Job so frequently: Like those works, the horror here evokes a personal reaction in the reader that is probably more the point than the story itself. Personally I found myself hoping for some final bit of redemption, but was left with a tragic ending to a series that tragically ended far too soon. Whether the tragedy is truly deserving for these characters and their relationships is left to each reader, but the fact that the ending is divisive among reviewers proves the effectiveness of the story-telling, IMHO. Confused Would you try another book from Rick Yancey and/or Steven Boyer? Yes What could Rick Yancey have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? Taken his time instead of rushing just to end the series. Which character as performed by Steven Boyer was your favorite? Pellinor Walthrop What character would you cut from The Final Descent? All of them. Any additional comments? The book was totally confusing. All the jumping around made it hard to stay focused as I am listening to it rather than actually reading it. I'm confused at the turn that Will Henry's character has taken on. It makes no sense that after all they had been through that his character would all of a sudden take such a drastic turn.

Black Dawn Audiobook by Rachel Caine

Title: Black Dawn Subtitle: Morganville Vampires, Book 12 Author: Rachel Caine Narrator: Angela Dawe Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 52 mins Language: English Release date: 05-21-12 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 315 votes Genres: Teens, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Publisher's Summary: In Last Breath, the rain brought a new and dire threat to Morganville and its vampires...their ancient enemies, the draug. Now, the vampires are fighting a losing war, and it will fall to the residents of the Glass House - Michael, Eve, Shane, and Claire - to take the fight to an enemy who threatens to destroy the town, forever. Lovers of Morganville, rejoice: Black Dawn takes the intrigue, romance, and nail-biting suspense of the series to its highest level yet. Members Reviews: Bring back Cynthia Holloway! What did you like best about Black Dawn? What did you like least? I have been in love with this story, since the very beginning! I love how the story plot is constantly twisting, and how it is so in depth with so many characters, not just 2 or 3 like in a lot of other stories. It definitely is not anything like anything else I have ever read before, and I will always hold it as a cherished part of my book collection! What did you like best about this story? I have not finished Black Dawn yet, so I cannot say. But I did read the teaser on Rachel's web site, and the special fan club extras, and I am definitely itching to continue on. Can't wait! Would you be willing to try another one of Angela Dawes performances? I am not a fan of Angela Dawe reading this book. She makes it sound like a completely different story, because her voice is a LOT deeper than Cynthia Holloway's. Plus, after already listening to 11 books with Cynthia's voice, you kind of have a mindset of each character's voice, and it's pretty easy to imagine it in your head. It's like, watching a tv show for 5 seasons, then they replace the main character's actor for the 6th season. It's not the same, and not nearly as good. If this book were a movie would you go see it? If it became a movie, I would most definitely go see it! Any additional comments? If you are not a die hard Morganville Vampires (audiobook) fan, you might not like this at all. I would say check your local library for the paperback or CD, before purchasing it permanently. Bring back Cynthia!! OMG the new narrator sucks!! She draws out words that doesn't need to be. She pronounces the names funny. I think its because she is trying to hide her accent. After 12 books with the same narrator how dare Tantor change it up. I would have rather they waited until Cynthia was available to do the Audio-book. This is such a shame and a wasted $20. Yup I didn't use a credit!! NARRATORS - Please Do your Research! It's bad enough when books in a series change narrators (I HATE IT!), but down right pitiful when they don't take the time to research how the previous narrators pronounced names and terminology. I'm begging publishers to care enough about your customers (the ones that keep you in business) to consider this when making decisions. Keep it simple and keep the same narrator, but if that's out of your control (which getting cheap IS within your control) at least make sure they pronounce the character names the same! Thank You! Disappointment due to narrator This book wasn???t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? I love Morganville Vampire series and always recommend to my family and friends. Who was your favorite character and why? Eve - love her personality. How did the narrator detract from the book? Horrible narrator. Rachel Caine seriously messed up by not using Cynthia Holloway.

Kiss of Death Audiobook by Rachel Caine

His music has attracted the attention of a heavily connected music producer who wants him to cut a demo and play some dates - which means that Michael will have to enter the human world. But he won't be alone. He's been assigned an undead escort, which includes immortal enforcer Oliver, as well as Michael's human friends: rebellious Eve, oft-misunderstood Claire, and courageous Shane. And with that mix of personalities, this is going to be a road trip from hell. But what waits for them proves more perilous than they thought. Caught between humans who hate them and a savage party of traveling vampires out to create a blood-soaked feast for themselves, Michael and his friends may not make it to the show on time...or ever. Members Reviews: Morely gets more than he bargained for. Out of Morganville and into the real world Claire and her friend run into a small town where they don't fit in. I means a lot of trouble for the but that isn't the half of it. Morely and his group have escaped Morganville and are on the loose. It just keeps getting stranger. Bishop hasn't finished causing trouble for them and they must clean up the mess. Oliver is along for some comical relief. He is the chaperon. Black his lay in wait for the whole group. Michael still has to make it to the audition and Claire and Shane must decide if they will strike out on their own. It is one of the best stories in the series. I do wonder though, will Claire join the vamps if Shane leaves and what is happening between Michael and Eve. Then the is the question about Morely. Morganville Vamps Rock By Leaving Town Where does Kiss of Death rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? This is a pretty good book, but it isn't exceptional. The story is very unique even for the Morganville series, but even that cant put this audiobook to the front of the pack. The audio performance just isnt completely there. After originally reading the book myself, the audio performance of this book felt flat. (Which is a strange occurrence since I always read the book before purchasing the audiobook.) Who was your favorite character and why? Claire as always is my favorite character, however, Oliver needs some love after his role in this book. Evil as always Oliver crushes the hopes and dreams of our beloved heroes at the end of the book. Yet, we definitely see some character development and growth with Oliver leaving everyone (readers and heroes alike) wondering if Oliver isn't the stereotypical villain he presents himself as. What about Cynthia Holloways performance did you like? I really didn't like the performance. It just rubbed me the wrong way. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? I loved the book. It took us out of Morganville but proved that while you can leave the crazy vampire town behind the crazy will still chase you down and try to kill you. The end of the book was the most emotional for me since we were able to see the characters enjoy life out of Morganville only to have to go back once again. Non-stop action This one throws the characters into one bad situation after another. Almost to the point of being unrealistic, even for a vamp book.

But things in the forest are not as she left them. A deadly new enemy is attacking the local villagers, threatening the very existence of the forest outlaws. When Ilan mounts a rebellion against Rideon the Red Hand, the brigand camp is divided between those loyal to their old captain and those prepared to follow Ilan in a war against the mysterious magical raiders. Members Reviews: Good story, but... Narrator's style seems a little wooden. This paired with occasional mispronounced words took me right out of the story. Still worth the time due to decent story and engaging characters. Enjoyable books athough very short. I have been trying to read more fantasy books something that is unusual for me. I really enjoyed these but thought they were short and the series could have been compressed into one novel. Also a lot of repeat information i suppose it is so people who do not start at book one can catch up on what they missed. Fast reads C Greenwood's mind is amazing! If you could sum up Circle of Thieves in three words, what would they be? Very Captivating Story... I love this book series and this one is no exception. C Greenwood has such a vivid imagination and tells a very compelling story. I love it! The characters are great and the story is so captivating. By the end of the book you just want more.

A Posse of Princesses Audiobook by Sherwood Smith

Title: A Posse of Princesses Author: Sherwood Smith Narrator: Emma Galvin Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 11 mins Language: English Release date: 11-04-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 51 votes Genres: Teens, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Publisher's Summary: Rhis, princess of a small kingdom, is invited along with all the other princesses in her part of the world to the coming of age party of the Crown Prince of Vesarja, which is the central and most important kingdom. When Iardith, the prettiest and most perfect of all the princesses, is abducted, Rhis and her friends go to the rescue. What happens to Rhis and her posse has unexpected results not only for the princesses, but for the princes who chase after them. Everyone learns a lot about friendship and hate, politics and laughter, romantic ballads and sleeping in the dirt with nothing but a sword for company. But most of all they learn about the many meanings of love. Editorial Reviews: When a beautiful princess is abducted at a coming-of-age party, Princess Rhis comes to the rescue. In the process, Rhis learns about love and friendship. Emma Galvan, narrator of the famous Divergent series, is a real YA voice talent. Her performance is bright and honest. She captures the sweet tone while keeping a bit of an edge in her voice. Young listeners seeking romance, fantasy, and adventure will feel at home in Sherwood Smith's A Posse of Princesses. Members Reviews: Cute and fun YA fantasy read. This is a Sherwood Smith book that Ive had to read for quite some time. Previous to this I read Crown Duel and loved it, so I was excited to read another Sherwood Smith book! It starts a bit slow but ends up being a fun read. This is one of those princess type books; about princesses who are finding themselves and finding more purpose in their lives. I listened to this on audiobook and the narration was okay. The narrator could have done a better job differentiating between character voices (many characters sounded the same). The narrator also could have done a better job with emotion; most of the time her reading is very flat sounding. This is one that I would have been better off reading in paper format. The book starts very slow with us learning about Rhis and Rhis getting packed up to travel to Vesarja. Once at Vesarja there is a lot of mean girl backstabbing; that is until a princess goes missing and Rhis and some of her new found friends decide to rescue her. This happens about 50% through the book and at this point things get more interesting. I did like that Rhis and her love interest didnt really have insta-love.they developed their relationship over a number of years and made sure to take time to become their own people before becoming a couple. I also liked all the friendships between Rhis and some of the other girls. Additionally it was fun how all the friendships of these young princes and princesses shaped the kingdom of the future into a better place. Overall this was a cute story and a fun read. It starts out pretty slow but picked up pace about halfway through. I would recommend to those who like YA princess stories with some adventure and a bit of romance. I didnt like this as much as Crown Duel, but it was a decent read. Read the book, ditch the audio version. If you go by the audiobook you might not like it because the narrator is not a good fit. I couldn't stand her voice so switched to the ebook, which was really good. I don't like much in the YA genre but Sherwood Smith does an excellent job writing strong, smart female characters and an interesting story.

Title: Vosper's Revenge Subtitle: The Dragon Stone Saga, Book 3 Author: Kristian Alva Narrator: Adam Chase Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 6 mins Language: English Release date: 09-11-13 Publisher: Defiant Press Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 46 votes Genres: Teens, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Publisher's Summary: Vosper's Revenge is the final book in Kristian Alva's popular Dragon Stones trilogy. As the races of Durn stand on the brink of war, the power-hungry emperor plans his conquest of the entire continent. The dragon riders are fragmented. They have been scattered across the land; weakened by the discovery of a traitor in their own ranks. Are the riders strong enough to defeat Vosper before he destroys them all? Members Reviews: Then the characters get dumb. This series started out fair enough. A derivative to be sure, but enjoyable enough in its own right. The decline becomes sharp in this volume. Characters who should be wise make mistakes that are obvious in nature leading to deaths of enjoyable characters for no other apparent reason then "whelp we need a death to raise the tension." I have no problem with character death, but it should feel earned, not have me sitting there asking why experienced people are being so dumb. Then the book moves to a climax on a whim. Not building to it, just hey there are a bunch of us here, lets do this because it is an option. The story continues as an easy read, which is as a nice chang for me, and I'm going to continue to listen to the rest os the series. I bought this series when it was on sale, without using credits, and I recommend that others do the same, as its not bad, nor great, and the books are relatively short, especially for me, because I like books that are 20 or more hours long...more book for the credit. The narrator continues to be excellent; however, the doesnt have a vast amount of character voices, and there are more than a few characters that have the same voice. Still, he reads well, pausing in the right tome, for the right length of time, and is able to put emotion appropriate for the characters in appropriate time. Second volume better than the first. Intrigued with the first volume I was really hooked in this one. The story expands, characters are further developed and become more real to the reader. Most interestingly it was when you felt you knew where the story was going that you are surprised by a shift to a direction that excites and was not foreseen. Could hardly wait to read the next volume as I completed this one. Brilliant! I am going to go all gushy on this book. I have already given Books 1 & 2 high ratings, but this book is even better. This is just one of those series that each book surpasses the previous one in writing skill, character depth, and plot intrigue. First, the basics. Book 3 picks up where Book 2 left off. Vosper and his evil minions are poised to take the continent by storm as the forces of good (or at least the forces of the reasonable) are scattered and/or arguing with one another. Elias is still learning about his powers and his parentage. His bond with Nydiered (his dragon) grows each day. Without tossing out spoilers, there is death, there is intrigue, there is hope. This is one of those series that a young reader can grow with. For many of the characters, we have had 2 previous books to get attached to them, or to learn to despise them. In Book 2 we had a traitor, and part of Book 3 shows us what our heroes have to do with that traitor the tough choices they have to make (as they dont inherently enjoy killing people and yet, how to trust this person ever again?).

The only way to protect the world from unbridled supernatural terrorism is for Celia to bind herself to her destined mate. And that doesn't appear to be Aric.... Members Reviews: Is the 4th book out yet Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes. It's a great storyline and the narrator does a good job with different voices. What other book might you compare Cursed by Destiny to and why? The Good the bad and the Ugly by Kim Harrison. The different races and then the hole big bady. Have you listened to any of Renée Chamblisss other performances before? How does this one compare? Just the other novels she's read for Cecy Robson Any additional comments? Loved the ending. Cursed By Destiny #3 Great story full of supernatural beings . Very well done ! You can't get enough of this series so don't forget to read them in order. So enjoy ! Can't put it Down What did you love best about Cursed by Destiny? I love how we have a possible new love interest. I really didn't like Ty at first but I can see were he may become more important. I also can't wait to see how she gets out of this new problem and little surprise we all learn at the end of the book. I have enjoyed this series so far I really hope we don't have to wait a whole year for the next one. I Cecy has a create way of sharing her imagination with us all. I also love how the sisters are growing in there powers and abilities. What about Renée Chamblisss performance did you like? She does great. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? It made me laugh and cry. It also made me so mad a few times. I do few Eric is becoming a lot of work for her to try to be with him. She does have so many others who want to be with her. Any additional comments? I can't wait for the next one.

Vel being homeless for a short time and not knowing what to do. Any additional comments? Fang really got the story going for me. I was about to give up on the book when Fang pulled me back in. Plus the narrator's voice to me didn't fit the young character. The narrator sounded much older then what Vel should've sounded in my opinion. Love that dog hate that her parents did Vel the way they did her. A new twist full of helarity and wit. If you could sum up Bite Me in three words, what would they be? sharp, funny, different What was one of the most memorable moments of Bite Me? I like when she meets her new sidekick and soon to be friend Fang Which character as performed by Mare Trevathan was your favorite? Val If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be? i'm a book reader not a movie watcher. just read this Any additional comments? this is a verry good book that captures the middle ground between teen and adult. it is funny, witty and has enough action to keep you interested. the charactor really grows in to her own and i can not wait to read the next one.

From the moment she meets his father at the club, her life is changed forever! I'm torn with this book! While there are things I enjoyed, there was more things that annoyed me about the plot! I'll get the negative out of the way first. (may contain spoilers so read at your peril!!!) Why in all that is good, would Meghan not totally freak out when she is imprisoned by Kiernan's dad, and then freak even more when Kiernan start's drinking her blood!!!! She just seems to take it all in her stride and eventually decides that she needs to escape. I so wanted her to be a little more assertive and kick ass. There is another part that drove me nuts, where Kiernan's father shoots someone and nobody does anything!!!! They don't vow revenge, they don't even really mention it much throughout the books, he does it and nobody seems to care. The love triangle!!! Ugh, so so annoying. The fact they are brothers also repulsed me a little. You do not go there!!!! There are a few other nitty gritty things that annoyed me but there's no point in going over them now. There are a few positives, I liked the world building and the world the author has created. It was well developed. I liked some of the characters... mainly Wish. And I enjoyed the settings. I just couldn't connect to the MC as she was just so indecisive and lack luster. Not my favourite book, but I know plenty of people will like it. Meghan Lewis did a good job. She read the story well and was easy to listen to. I had no problem with her performance. *I received a free copy of this but voluntarily reviewed it.

Kristin McMichael Narrator: Caprisha Page Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 40 mins Language: English Release date: 07-03-14 Publisher: Lexia Press, LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 102 votes Genres: Teens, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Publisher's Summary: Arianna has gathered the outside clans to decide her fate in marriage. A tournament will be held, and she is the prize, whether she wants to be or not. The only thing for her to do is watch the clan leaders fight over her, or is it? Thanks to her team's well-made plans, Arianna has other strategies in place. Hopefully one of those plans will earn her freedom. As the contestants gather and she learns more about the night human world, there are new allies to keep close and more enemies to keep even closer. Some even hold more secrets to her legend and possibly the actual reason to her existence. Now Arianna must decide what to do with the fate she has been dealt. The time has come to step out of the shadows of the men who protect her, and into her own power. The time is now for Arianna to take control, and fight for the destiny she wants to live. Members Reviews: Great finish to the series! A really thrilling end to the series. I love the whole tournament and everything Ari puts in place. She is finally taking the reigns and owning her title as head of 4 houses! She gets to deliver a few set downs along the way, I was like "You go Girl!" I was a touch annoyed at all the guys loving and wanting her immediately. Thankfully it was explained later and made me less annoyed. I really wish there were more time spent on all the different races and their traits. That part was fascinating and really could have been expanded. Great world building though. There are a lot of characters to track this time around. Almost too many with the contenders and their retainers on top of her keepers that we already knew. I felt like I needed a character sheet to really be able to follow everybody. At one point in the tournament I was totally confused who a character was and where he came from. The mixed narrative is still chopping with lines here and there of a supporting POV. Maybe it is different in print, but in audio is is a bit jarring. I prefer only one POV or set sections of one character at a time. That is what works best for me as a reader. Still not a biggie, just an annoyance. I found the conclusion really interesting and hope to check out the spin off! That should be awesome and I expect much banter!! I listened to the audiobook narrated by Caprisha Page, who does a fantastic job. She has a very youthful quality to her voice that really works for Ari and her friends, she is also able to do the older voices justice. Whoa, that is a brisk read, I like to fast but others may want to slow it down a touch. Great energy throughout the read really adds to the action and suspense. I hope she does the spin-off audiobooks as well!! I am sad the series is over but there is much that can happen with Nessa and Devin. I am eager to see them com out in audio too!!! This was a very intriguing series and a whole other take on vampires and supernaturals in general! Definitely a great read for any young adult interested in the genre! Disclosure - I received a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts, opinions and ratings are my own. Still Good! Where does Winning the Legend rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Sometimesa series gets drawn out but this one was good to the end...

Silver Audiobook by Cheree Lynn Alsop

He has to come to terms with his new life, new school, and new friends while trying to stop a killer. Attempting to make peace with the territorys pack and falling in love make his new situation even more perilous. A fresh new werewolf series,Silver is fast paced and exciting, and shows that with love, there truly are no limits. Members Reviews: The NARRATOR was horrible. Is there anything you would change about this book? The narrator. I listen to a lot of audio books. I often pick the books that I want to listen to by who is doing the narration. The narrator of this book was odd from the first word. Everyting was read extremely roboticly. Narrators of these books most of the time do an wonderful job of assigning a new voice to each character. This narrator could not even remember from sentence to sentence whose voice he was using for which character. UGH! What other book might you compare Silver to and why? I could not finish the book. How could the performance have been better? Different narrator. There is a wealth of wonderful male voices to pick from. Narration was the worst I have ever heard. Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? No! I couldn't even get through the first chapter. How could the performance have been better? This narrator was like a computer generated voice. Terrible. I wish that I had read the reviews before purchasing it. Any additional comments? I will definitely have to be aware of this narrator in the future and avoid anything with his name on it. I'm going to read it on Kindle. HORRIBLE NARRATOR- DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY What disappointed you about Silver? I have read this entire series and like it so I thought I'd give the audible a try. I could not even make it past the first chapter because the narrator was so bad. Too bad, I really liked the series. I gave it one star just so I could write a review but it's not even good enough for one star and it's all because of the narrator. How did the narrator detract from the book? He was so bad that I wish I could get my money back. Could not even make it past the first few pages. Narrator problems. I listen to a lot of Audible books. I believe I have more than 400 these days. I can say uncategorically that this was one of the worst narrators I have listened to. He was so bad that I considered giving up on the book and asking for a refund. He overly articulated every word. He had very little emotional inflection in his voice. His attempts to vary his voice with each character was comical and juvenile. That being said, Cody if you just read out loud in a normal speaking voice and with normal articulation without attempting dramatic voice changes, I think there's hope for improvement. The story itself kept me plodding through. It was not stupendously wonderful but neither was it incredibly bad. Nice little story. I will not, however, read anymore books by this author, nor will I listen to this narrator again. Great new series! Jaze has been through a lot for a teenage boy, who's also a werewolf. Author Cheree Alsop did a great job writing this story. I love the characters, the story is written extremely well, and each character has their own personalities.

Faced with decisions that could change everything, she must weigh her desire to be with the ones she has come to love, or satisfy her curiosity and find out what lies beyond her world with someone new. What Piper experiences and the choices she makes could not only alter the delicate inner workings of the Station, but the delicate balance that Piper has managed to maintain inside herself. In the end, will it all be worth it? Members Reviews: Dying to Return I liked how different this series was from others. I dislike that the book ended where it did. I felt as, as I often do, that there was more to be said. I donât think Iâll ever forget this series & the many emotions it brought with it. I too like to think that there is redemption for those who ended their lives so harshly & far too soon. I think the series is worth reading just to help you understand those who choose a permanent way out better, bc I didnât really understand before. I do understand a little better now, though I truly will never understand making a permanent decision like taking my own life, bc Iâve never been suicidal. I gave it 5 stars for a very simple set of reasons-it caught my attention, it held my attention, it provoked multiple emotions in me, including laughter, happiness, anger, & a wealth of sadness. A series that can let you feel a rainbow of emotion is exactly what I love! A series that leaves me wishing it wasnât done is what I crave! This series gave me that! Amazing, amazing, amazing! An amazing story, as deeply emotional as the first two books in The Station series. There are moments that become just as deeply personal for the reader as they are for the characters in the book. This is a series that is, in a single word, exceptional. There is such love in the book... love between friends, romantic love, and love that falls somewhere in between. It provides a completely new perspective on life, the afterlife, and just what is out there. There is a lot of imagination and creativity in this story and opens the reader to possibilities that might never have occurred to them. There is an undeniable thread of hope through even the darkest of times which is a comforting thought. On a personal note, I read these books during a pretty dark time of my own, and there were times that I questioned whether or not it was the right time to read them. There were times when I thought my heart was breaking, sobbing as I read on. But they gave me hope for my own dark time and that is a beautiful thing, Like the last book, there were surprises, too. There were times when I wondered just how I felt about those surprises and that kept me turning the pages. Things to love about Dying to Return... --The emotions. Sad, happy, loving, uncertainty. They were all there and they all affect you as a reader. --The beauty. There is such poignancy in this series and it shines through at unexpected times. --The surprises. Oh, and there were some. Some good, some bad, some that made you angry, some that were bittersweet. But all were engaging. My recommendation: I was sad to finish this book, thinking it was the end of a series that I am not ready to let go. But I talked to the author and it is NOT the end.

The question is, how can Rae find proof of life for her mother, come to terms with her feelings for Devon, and manage to save the Princess, all while dressed for tea? When the enigma, the secrets and the skeletons in the closet begin to be exposed, can Rae handle the truth? Members Reviews: great story great story. I enjoyed the settings and the characters. the descriptions made everything feel so real. Awesome! Well Royal tea was exciting and the ending sigh who will Rae choose the forbidden love or the normal love with no power:) I give this book 5 stars enjoyed every minute now going to get the next!:) Another great Kerrigan book I had already read this book. It is another entertaining book in the Kerrigan series. Great characters and interesting story. Nice comic relief by supporting character Molly.

Lee Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 52 votes Genres: Teens, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Publisher's Summary: College was supposed to be all about booze and boys. For Zoe Lake, though, it's all about monsters and mayhem. An incoming freshman at Covenant College, Zoe is excited to meet her roommates and attend classes. There's only one problem: Covenant College isn't all it's purported to be. First off, there are attractive - yet mysterious - men skulking around every corner. Then there's that persistent professor that thinks he knows some secret about her past that even she isn't aware exists. Then there are the rumors. You know the ones. The ones that say Covenant College is home to more than just humans - but vampires and werewolves, too. Not only is Zoe going to find herself in the middle of madness - but she's going to have to try and pass finals while she endeavors to solve the mystery of what a monster really is. Note: These books are full of sarcasm and are a little bit snarky - so listen only if you like to laugh and like your paranormal with a little bit of fun. This is the first book in the Covenant College young adult series. Members Reviews: nice read If you could sum up Awakening in three words, what would they be? good, interesting, What did you like best about this story? i think it was a good story overall, but i like how Zoe not just your everyday girl that falls in love quickly. What three words best describe Angel Clarks voice? nice pace, annoying sometimes for Zoe voice's, but overall nice Interesting series but Narrator Sucked! Any additional comments? I like the idea and setting for this interesting new series even though it took a while to get to the point. I wasn't sure where the plot was heading until way past the halfway mark. But still it was a good start. I would have liked this book a lot more except for the whiny, nasally voices the narrator had for all the characters. I winced so many times throughout this book that it was almost impossible to finish. What should have sounded snarky came across as whiny. She made the heroine sound spoiled and bratty rather than strong willed. I'll continue the series but switch to the e-book instead. Chapter 1. I understand this book is the first in the series. It was a great introduction to all the characters and story. Loved the story. But that's it! It leave way too much to be explain in the later books. After finishing the book. I feel like I just finished the first chapter. Vamps and weres This was a fun book to read. It was difficult for me to listen to the angry screaming voices, but the book itself was good. A bit whiney YA What did you love best about Awakening? Zoe is a smart, sassy, sarcastic college bound girl. It kept the story moving. What three words best describe Angel Clarks performance? Sounded a bit whiney but went with the characters.

Vanessa McKinny has promised that she knows a way to undo the spell she placed on Devin to save his life.

If he doesn't want to get stuck, he must work with Nessa to find a way to break the bond. Only then can Devin have time to get back to finding his new goal in life, unless he discovers that his path lies with the sidhe.

Badger Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 36 mins Language: English Release date: 12-06-12 Publisher: Wicked Evil Press Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 39 votes Genres: Teens, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Publisher's Summary: Two forms of power - natural and chemical - divide the world. Dragons, who keep the chemical power in check, have long retreated from human sight; few still believe in them. Inside a castle surrounded by Tuscan hills more and more threatened by chemical forces, 16-year-old Anders lives a sheltered life. But much as his parents try, Anders can't avoid the forces that threaten.... Fantasy Adventure for All Ages Eight years ago, when his dying grandfather whispered words of power in his ear, there was already something special about Anders Tomason. But these days Anders is sick of being special. Forced to study in a locked room when he isn't having lessons, his only escape is daily practice with a staff; he hopes that one day, he'll get to swing a blade. That day comes on his 16th birthday: Anders receives a wooden sword from his blade master, along with two surprises: a mischievous and flirtatious spirit inside the silver handle, and the dance of swordplay to the music of his own blood. Then, that same night Anders is drinking a new tea and burning incense to help him focus on his studies. But he's sick of studying, sick of being locked in. So sick of it, that in anger his blood magic opens a gateway. A girl bursts into his locked study. She has a stolen book of nature magic and a chemical warlock hot on her trail.... Members Reviews: Swords, Spells and Elves....What else do you need? What was one of the most memorable moments of Sword Bearer? The magical quality to foods seems a new twist on the genre. I almost get the sense that Teddy is a nutritionist based on how much focus he has on magical power being tied to diet. What does J. M. Badger bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? His pacing is perfect for battle scenes. I really feel the excitement and don't want to bother flipping pages. If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be? Take the first step of the journey to the Dark Lord... Any additional comments? JM Badger's narration made me want to break out my D24 and play some D&D! If a 0 star rating was possible I would have used I morn the loss of the time I spent on this book. It was so bad that it was almost painful. I would advise against wasting your time or money on it This book stops in the middle of the story What disappointed you about Sword Bearer? Decent story until it Just Stops in the middle of the story. Having a successful series requires reader interest. You cannot maintain that interest if you just stop writing. Even episodic stories need some true ending for each book. not just The End ! Would you ever listen to anything by Teddy Jacobs again? NO, Not Ever ! If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Sword Bearer? I would have added an ending not just say The End ! Not for me. What would have made Sword Bearer better? It wasn't necessarily bad, it's just not for me. Has Sword Bearer turned you off from other books in this genre? Yes for young adult books but no for fantasy books. What does J. M. Badger bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? nothing in particular, I guess if i had to actually read this book I never would have gotten to the "end". What character would you cut from Sword Bearer? The zits Any additional comments? Not my cup of tea.

Show up to Homecoming in a black dress and you've entered yourself in a contest where the winner lives forever, and the loser becomes the winner's first victim.

They don't know that Nicky has her own agenda. But as the dance continues into the night, they will find out that Nicky Bloom is far more than she seems. Members Reviews: Cliff hanger ending I dislike cliff hanger endings!! The story is slow to start. This is something that I can understand... 1st book in a series and all. However just as the book finally starts to give you action it ends. I won't be buying the next book, you failed to hook me. Hated it I hated this story, the story line is extremely stretched, the reader is very slow. I mean veeeeery slooooow. This is the first book that I listen to at 2x and find it slow. I am sorry to the author and the performer for this review. But this is my honest opinion. A struggle to finish struggle to finish this book , it keep dragging on. I kept wishing the next chapter would be better ..I was really disappointed Too many background stories to drive silly plot Decent narration. Story seems silly and driven by sillier complicated back-stories and historical plots. This might spoil things a bit but you are barely into the first half of the dance 16 chapters in and there are so many background stories that don't make characters all that more sympathetic it makes your head spin. A prologue establishing the background might have mitigated the necessity of some of this. How these stories are wedged into the main plot is awkward. Much like this: the train moved down the track. The first car of the train came from a factory in Detroit. It was a cold month in Detroit when the care was built... And in like fashion 15 cars are described. Won't get the second book... That is quite enough.

Title: Dying to Forget (The Station) (Volume 1) Author: Trish Marie Dawson Narrator: Kimberly Woods Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 44 mins Language: English Release date: 12-17-14 Publisher: Trish Marie Dawson Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 40 votes Genres: Teens, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Publisher's Summary: Sometimes the day you die is only the beginning of a new job. Piper Willow dies the summer after her high school graduation and finds herself in a spiritual terminal called the Station. She's given only two choices: Move on to the unknown where she'll be faced to spend an eternity in her own personal hell or be trained as a Volunteer and return to Earth as the subconscious for a person in need of outside assistance. Does Piper have what it takes to save a life, to be the nagging voice inside another person's head? Or will she fail and end up lost and tormented... forever? Members Reviews: Volume 1 What did you love best about Dying to Forget (The Station) (Volume 1)? A must read and looking for the rest of this series. I fell in love with the characters Grabed me from page one and did not let go. The ending will really leave you hanging on for the next book. Fresh and new idea and plot. Sad but also hopeful and uplifting On to the next book in the series. Very Heartfelt When I first started listening to this work, I was disappointed that the narrator had a monotone style. Please dont stop here. A few minutes into the story I understood why. The narrators voice was a good match for the main character. A young girl old enough to drive, but still finding her way through personal tragedy. Where the author started us with this character may cause you to worry that the book will be depressing. I believe we had to see where this characters pivotal actions started. This work doesnt fit neatly into a genre category. I believe young adults will get a lot from this as the characters are very relatable and realistic. Also anyone that has experienced the loss of someone near to them that committed suicide might find a small measure of comfort. This is not a clinical psychological study. It is not any type of lecture either. It is somewhat like the television show Quantum Leap from years ago. The main character finds themselves thrown in to help someone that is in jeopardy of committing suicide. The difficulty is that Piper willow doesnt know why and where the pain comes from that the individual is facing. So she has to feel her way through the situation, look for clues and try to determine what will help this person. This is a work that is not a standalone work, complete in itself. To feel a sense of finish, one will need to purchase the further books to see what has become of the characters you met in this one. I was provided a code to listen and write an honest review. Intriguing Idea **I was given an audio copy of this book in exchange for an honest review** This book is told from the viewpoint of Piper Willow, a young girl who was victimized at a party while a teen. Soon after her attack, her best friend is killed in a car accident. Piper eventually commits suicide, unable to deal with the stress and the guilt. Immediately after death Piper finds herself at The Station, a fork in the road for people who ended their lives early. She is informed that she will need to make a decision; opt out and move on (basically to hell) or volunteer to be the subconscious voice of reason for other people on the verge of suicide. Piper volunteers. The author does an excellent job of describing the characters and leading us where she wants us to go. She creates a believable world whose premise is based on second chances.

Title: Tesla & Malone Subtitle: Lightning's Call, Book One Author: Vincent J LaRosa Narrator: David Stifel Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 28 mins Language: English Release date: 02-08-16 Publisher: Vincent J. LaRosa Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Teens, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Publisher's Summary: It's summer in New York City. All is quiet and peaceful. Or is it? An ancient evil is about to be unleashed on the unsuspecting island populace. Former Civil War cavalry sergeant Denis Malone struggles to live a normal civilian life but the nightmares persist and gain strength. What do these haunting visions mean? Meanwhile - Nikola Tesla, his eight-years-long search for the Cult of Five Stars nearly over, has just arrived in the city from overseas. Not a penny to his name, the young man has only his inventions and his wits to combat the ancient evil that is about to be summoned down from the sky. Can he find the cult leader in time to stop the ritual? Or will the girl be sacrificed and horrors run free upon the earth, starting with New York City? With unlikely aid in the form of Denis Malone, Tesla is about to find out! Members Reviews: a nice, quick read What can I say about this? I have mixed feelings. It is a nice, quick read, which is one of it's strong points. Tesla and Malone are both likable characters judging from a quick introduction, as well as their respective lady friends, though the book is so short there isn't much time for character development. Malone has been having visions. Nightmares. Why? He doesn't know, but they've become more and more frequent. Tesla is hot on the trail of an enemy who is continually eluding him. Fortunately he's been able to keep the villain from summoning any creatures from the other side. Unfortunately this book suffers from it's own length. Yes, it's quick and easy, but the background is severely underdeveloped. It reads a lot like a short bonus story about a special side mission in an ongoing war from an already established and successful series. And those books are rarely good even when we know and love the characters. These are characters we don't care about yet, and frankly, we're given little reason to. I need to know a little more about the why and how before I get all the what dumped on me. I wanted to like this story, I have nothing against Tesla as a historical figure, and I like the premise of steampunk. However poor Tesla gets dragged into everybody's alternate histories, and then used to support ridiculous technology. Turning him into a man in black with magic and a death ray doesn't suit him or me. Certainly not without a lot more backstory. The quality of the recording was good. Everything was clear and understandable. No effects or music. I personally didn't care much for David Stifel's style of narration. I like his reading voice, but his delivery annoys me slightly. And I don't like several of his character voices. Particularly the female. I would be willing to give the next book a chance, but I hope LaRosa will spend a little more time on plot than action. Audiobook was provided for review by the author. Please find this complete review and many others at my review blog [If this review helped, please press YES. Thanks!] YA Steampunk Adventure What did you love best about Tesla & Malone? The character of Nikola Tesla, and his inventions. How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable? More dialogue, less description. The characters don't interact enough. What does David Stifel bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Mr.

I also appreciate the narration of Pricilla Finch, with a bunch of characters to voice over, she did a fine job, just wish it still had a second male voice. Overall I love it.

Though his patron forbids him to study it, Jez finds he has an aptitude for battle magic. When a sleeping sickness sweeps the land, Jez begins experiencing strange visions of the creation of the world. He investigates them and discovers a trail of dark magic that indicates his patron may not be as benevolent as he originally believed, and Jez himself may be much older than anyone suspects. Members Reviews: Great Book, Great Narration! Great book! Great back story and an interesting new world to explore. The book is kind of part Harry Potter and part Percy Jackson. My only complaint is that I wish it was longer, especially in the middle section about the Academy. Can't wait for the second one! Captivating Story I was sucked in from the first chapter. Jez's world evoked wonder and made me want to discover my own hidden abilities. Shadowguard is a tale of growing and discovery, as well as trials and adventure. I can't wait to see what happens next. Great Loved it. if you like Harry Potter, Fablehaven, Lord of the Rings this is a cross between everything is a great fantasy story with angels and demons in it instead of elves and Dragons. The book was very childish and straightforward The story seems rushed. The author just kinda does a fly by of events in the story that could have been delved into. I do like the background put into story though, the author spent time to develop a rich history/mythology, unfortunately that's all he spent time on the rest he seems to forget. So while the story lacked in many areas it wasn't unreadable. brilliant this audio book is really good. it's got a good back story. alot of action and an interesting book. can't wait for the next book to come out

Program 12 Audiobook by Nicole Sobon

Title: Program 12 Subtitle: The Emile Reed Chronicles, Book 0.5 Author: Nicole Sobon Narrator: Laurie C Crawford Format: Unabridged Length: 21 mins Language: English Release date: 11-16-17 Publisher: NICOLE LYNN SOBON Genres: Teens, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Publisher's Summary: In Program 13, listeners are introduced to Program Thirteen, a young program recently created at Vesta Corp. Thirteen is Vesta Corp's pride and joy; their best program to date. But before Thirteen, there was Twelve. This is her story. Members Reviews: Review for Program 12 by Nicole Sobon Program 12 is the first installment of the Emile Reed Chronicles, but it is a novella, not a full-length novel. The time frame of when it occurs overlaps with the beginning of Program 13, the first full-length novel in the Emile Reed Chronicles. Summary: Before Program 13, there was Program 12. She was supposed to be Charles McVeigh's glorious prototype, his perfect creation. But something went wrong. What I Liked: The thing about novellas is that they are usually very short, and therefore, either a hit or a miss. Novellas usually expand on something mentioned in the full-length novel, or retell a scene, in another person's point of view, or something of that nature that adds to the overall plot of the series. This novella is extremely short, but I believe that it is a fantastic supplement to the world of Vesta Corp. I liked reading about a different Program, especially since I already knew the outcome of Program12, because of what was mentioned in Program 13 (the full-length novel). Program 12's voice is very similar to what becomes of Emile's, towards the end of Program 13, which makes sense, because it is that of rebellion and of desperation. I like reading about what happened before Emile came to Vesta Corp, and it being through a different set of eyes. This novella is not necessary to read Program 13, but it raises the readers' understanding of the Programs, and of Charles McVeigh. What I Did Not Like: Like I said, novellas are usually hit or miss, and in this case, it was a hit. Great structure, smooth flow of text, no grammar mistakes, and a good short story. Would I Recommend It: Yes, especially since it's free! Why NOT read this short novella! Rating: 5 stars. This is a powerful novella, and it deserves all five of those stars. I cannot wait to see what is to come, Ms. Sobon! Nicely done so far :) Program 12 I was really surprised how much I enjoyed this story. Granted it's very much like The Doll House directed by Joss Whedon, but that's probably why I liked it. I thought it was a really great introduction to the story and I really appreciated that the first 3 chapters of Program 13 were included at the end of this prequel because it really helped me want to continue with this story. Seems like it's going to be a fairly soft sci-fi story but I'm looking for to it for its possible entertainment value. Nice It is a nice intro to the emily reed chronicles. Let's you know right off that something is going on with these so called programs. Can't wait to read the rest of the series. Good start to the series. A nice way to start the series. It's not really very clear as to what Vesta Corp is, but that's what Program 13 Is for

Title: The Amulet Subtitle: A Faedra Bennett Custodian Novel, Book 1 Author: Alison Pensy Narrator: Martha Lee Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 58 mins Language: English Release date: 02-26-13 Publisher: Alison Pensy Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 41 votes Genres: Teens, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Publisher's Summary: To Faedra, faeries were nothing more than the figurines she collected and displayed in her curio cabinet. She was in for a surprise. Faedra had no idea that faeries controlled nature, and with a book no less. Nor did she know that her ancestors had protected an ancient fae amulet for thousands of years. An amulet that, if ever was reunited with the book, would give the wearer power to control the weather, too. She didn't know all this because the one person to teach her died when she was just six years old. Well, now it was time for her to find out.... A letter from the grave reveals her true identity the day of her 18th birthday. But she barely has time to digest the revelation when she is plunged into a fight for her life - and a fight for all mankind. Members Reviews: Adorable Modern Fairy Story! Would you listen to The Amulet again? Why? Yes! It was such a pleasure! Who was your favorite character and why? Faen. He's both sexy and honorable. What does Martha Lee bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Loved her British accent! Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes! Any additional comments? This modern fairy story by Alison Pensy is adorable! Faedra Bennett, who lives with her father in an English cottage, discovers something life-changing about herself on her eighteenth birthday, including the fact that her best friend--a dog that arrived during her mother's wake eleven years ago--is not an ordinary dog! He's her shape-shifting guardian, Faen. And yes, he's sexy, strong, and honorable and already knows Faedra inside and out by the time he reveals himself to her. Now it's her turn to get to know him and her new role as custodian to an important object that is the key to saving her world and Faen's. I loved every minute of it and can't wait to read the next book in the series! Enjoyed Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I would recommend this to a friend. I loved the book and I enjoyed listening to the story. It is worth listening to and the reader is not annoying. A must listen for Fantasy Fans! What did you love best about The Amulet? As a fan of 'The Amulet' and the companion books 'The Emerald Staff' and 'The Cypher Wheel' I greatly anticipated this audiobook. I usually won't listen to an audiobook until I've read the book first. With The Amulet, I've read through the series 3 times before the first installment was release on audiobook. I'm one of those people that either loves or hates an audiobook. I hate when a narrator reads the book as if it were a takeout menu. I much prefer the narrator to read it as a parent would a book to a small child. I want different voices and clear emotion. With this book, I got just that. Martha Lee's charming British accent lends authenticity to the quaint English setting. She seamlessly transfers from character to character. Each voice has unique tones, inflections and accents. She brings a new perspective with her narration. Her interpretation of Alison Pensy's work adds a dimension beyond the written work. Her ability to verbally convey the emotions of the characters allowed me to sit back and really listen. The combination of Alison Pensy's excellent writing and Martha Lee's narration, The Amulet will become one of my go to audiobooks.

The Balborite Curse Audiobook by Kristian Alva

Title: The Balborite Curse Subtitle: Dragon Stones Saga, Book 4 Author: Kristian Alva Narrator: Adam Chase Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 9 mins Language: English Release date: 02-20-14 Publisher: Defiant Press Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 32 votes Genres: Teens, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Publisher's Summary: After five years of fragile peace, things are changing rapidly. The dwarf kingdom is crumbling into civil war in the midst of the worst clan schism in a thousand years. With the clans weakened by infighting, the entire dwarf kingdom is vulnerable to attack. Tallin Arai, the dragon rider, must leave the desert and the city he loves when someone puts a bounty on his head. He suspects the Balborites-a fanatic cult that trains deadly mageborn assassins. He sets out on a journey to save the dwarves from civil war and stop the Balborite assassins once and for all. Is Tallin strong enough to save them all? Members Reviews: Competent assassin equals excellent story! Note: While this is Book 4 in the series, it works as a stand alone. It is like a first book in a second trilogy following characters we met in the first 3 books, but set years later. This was another excellent installment in the Dragon Stone Saga. In this book, the main character is Tallin, the half-dwarf dragon rider and teacher to Elias from the first three books. He was a fascinating character in previous books and I was quite pleased to see him take center stage. The Balborite Curse takes place about 5 years after Book 3, Vospers Revenge. Peace has lasted, though it is threadbare and falling apart in places (such as the dwarf kingdoms). There are still few dragons and few riders. Sela is still head of the dragon riders but is soon called back from her vacation to help Tallin deal with yet one more merchant attempting to smuggle a deadly poison into the desert city. I sense these two may be headed for romance in future installments, but for this book there was just the merest hint of something more than friendship. The interrogation of the merchant leads to more questions and sends Tallin on a small quest to ensure the safety of the merchants family, if they still live. Along the way, he visits Chua and Starclaw. Starclaw gives Duskeye (dragon companion to Tallin) some much needed advice on finding receptive dragon females, if any still live. Dragon reproduction is a taboo subject for humans and dragons to chat about, therefore there is much mystery as to why the dragons have not started reproducing again. Peppered throughout Tallins narrative, we get to hang out with the Balborite assassin Skarekina (spelling?), who we have met in previous books. We get some flashbacks to how she became a deadly, accomplished assassin. She has a grudge against Tallin and it comes to blows! Skarekina is a wonderful villain because she is so competent! We also learn a little about the Orcs and their civilization. It seems that everyone discounts and looks down on the Orcs, even some of our heroes. However, I get the feeling that the author has something more planned for us when it comes to the Orcs. I look forward to surprises later in the series. Towards the end, another dwarf magic user is introduced. She is elderly and practical and was a joy to see in action. I expect we will be seeing more of her in Book 5. I am already somewhat attached to her, so I really hope she doesnt get killed any time soon. I know I keep saying it about this series, but I feel each book is just a touch better than the last. I couldnt be more satisfied with a fantasy series. The characters are interesting, the plot has more than one story line and is not horribly predictable, and the bad guys are complicated and often competent.

Untimed Audiobook by Andy Gavin

Title: Untimed Subtitle: Rules of the Regulator Author: Andy Gavin Narrator: Steven Barnett Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs Language: English Release date: 06-24-14 Publisher: Mascherato Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 12 votes Genres: Teens, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Publisher's Summary: Charlie's the kind of boy that no one notices. Hell, his own mother can't remember his name. So when a mysterious clockwork man tries to kill him in modern-day Philadelphia, and they tumble through a hole into 1725 London, Charlie realizes even the laws of time don't take him seriously. Still, this isn't all bad. Who needs school when you can learn about history firsthand, like from Ben Franklin himself. And there's this girl...Yvaine...another time traveler. All good. Except for the rules: boys only travel into the past and girls only into the future. And the baggage: Yvaine's got a baby boy and more than her share of ex-boyfriends. Still, even if they screw up history - like accidentally let the founding father be killed - they can just time travel and fix it, right? But the future they return to is nothing like Charlie remembers. To set things right, he and his scrappy new girlfriend will have to race across the centuries, battling murderous machines from the future, jealous lovers, reluctant parents, and time itself. Members Reviews: Unique characters, engaging plot make this YA time travel a MUST READ! Andy Gavin has fast become one of my favorite authors. I loved his first book, the dark fantasyThe Darkening Dream, and I think I love Untimed even more. This is the first book in a new YA Time Travel series, and the premise and characters are so intriguing and unique, I couldn't help but fall in love. Charlie is a fascinating character. He doesn't know how special he is at the beginning of this book, all he knows is that no one can remember his name, not even his own mother! The only exceptions are his father and his aunt, both of whom lead unusual lives and travel often. Charlie has been studying history his whole life, but he never imagined he'd be living it until he's chased through a hole in time, right into 1725 London. Stuck in the past, Charlie finally meets a girl who actually remembers him; another time traveler like himself. Problem is, she has some baggage. Namely, a baby and two boyfriends--one of whom wants to kill Charlie, and the other none other than Benjamin Franklin. If you've ever wondered what the world would look like now had Ben Franklin met an untimely death, Gavin answers that question. I don't want to spoil anything, but this romp through the past is action-packed, thought provoking, romantic and fun. You also don't want to miss the extraordinary black and white illustrations throughout this book that just brought the whole thing to life. And check out the cover. AMAZING! But I wouldn't expect anything less from the man who also created the video games Jak & Daxter and Crash Bandicoot. All I can say is, write faster Andy Gavin. I'm dying to know what happens next with both your series! :) As Awkward as a Teenager Believe it or not, I was shocked to find out the boy in this story was 16 (or 17, I can't remember), because he's depicted as if he's ten (or 12 at the most). He thinks like a ten year old, acts like a ten year old, and talks like a ten year old. So, I thought he was ten years old. Till he had sex with Yvaine. Suddenly, I found myself skimming back through the pages to find out how old Charlie really was. While the story is good, the characters are a bit awkward. Yvaine is a teenage mother.

Title: Dark Application: TWO Author: Brian Krogstad, Lindsey Waterman Narrator: Matt Weight Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 51 mins Language: English Release date: 05-24-13 Publisher: Brian Krogstad Genres: Teens, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Publisher's Summary: In Dark Application: ONE, Luke Jeffers exposed a top-secret government-developed software that caused a chain of events altering his course of life drastically. The software, called the Defense Application for Remote Kinetics, is an application designed by the government, using advanced elements of biometrics for spying on enemies and protecting federal agents from enemy activity. Once the software has been removed from the research facility servers, it behaves unexpectedly, baffling both its creator and its unsuspecting users. In this next standalone installment of Dark Application, Dark Application: TWO, Luke is accused of heinous crimes for which there is no evidence to save him, thrown into prison, and must find the courage to fight the prosecutors who seek the highest punishment. With the help of an unexpected ally, he must face the grand jury. Meanwhile, Sabrina Dobson is now in possession of the phone containing the unpredictable, mind-probing spyware. A budding teenager with high hopes for her future, innocent Sabrina is targeted by the very kidnappers who killed Tiffany El'Said. While the ring of ransom murderers are still shrouded in mystery, the targeting of wealthy teenagers continues. Sabrina, fearing that her murder may be next, unknowingly has a victim murdered in her place. Her fears and anxiety ruin her potential relationship with her crush, Sean, and things begin to spin wildly in bizarre directions. This is the dramatic story of how Dark Application saved Sabrina's life, and then ripped it back away. Members Reviews: Just when u think it can't get better...along come DarkApp2! After reading DarkApplication, I was thinking that there was no way it could get better... When I was advised that Dark2 had been released, I instantly bought it and was proven wrong. With a female as the lead character facing the DarkApplication powers, you are wondering how...why...when...from beginning to end. The characters, storyline, twists, turns and gasps, takes this series to another level. If you haven't read DarkApplication yet, get to it because Dark2 fills the need for a second in the series but leaves you asking; will there be a third! Great job to the authors of this addictive series! A+ series! Greatbook but A Very Short Story The book was just as great as Pat One, but the reason I'm only giving it 4 stars is it was way to short of book. I think its 88 pages, I did not read that before I bought it. Left Me Hanging Part 1 was free. When I finished, I was left hanging from a cliff. So I paid for part two but didn't get a lot of satisfaction regarding the story line. I gave up on looking for part three because I am wondering how many parts I would have to buy before I could find out where the author is going with this story. Even better than the first book While I really enjoyed the debut of this author with Dark Application One, I found the second book to be even better. This story developed in a more mature fashion while still being a quick read, which in my mind sets these books apart. I love that these two books can be read in a day (or faster), which is perfect for busy people like me. Book two's lead character is a woman, making it a slightly softer story yet suspenseful in its own way. It will leave you hanging and desperately wanting book three, while completing this version of the story with it's own complete surprise. In addition, you get to continue into the story from book one.

Piper has new challenges to overcome, new names to learn, and she is faced with a new Station occupation. Did she make the right choice - choosing to stay at the Station and becoming a Volunteer? Does she really want answers to the questions that never leave her mind? How did the Station come to be? What lies beyond? Who is Andurush and what, exactly, does he want with Piper? She must ask herself, once again, if she has what it takes...but this time it isn't about saving lives, it's about discovering what lies beyond death. Would you want to know? Members Reviews: Book 2 What made the experience of listening to Dying to Remember the most enjoyable? Just as good as book one and wow! You have got to read this series. I could not put this down. I was hooked from the very first sentence and I loved this story. I really enjoyed the new relationship with Sloan and some of the others that come in and out of Piper's post-life experiences. It has my recommendation Review The reason I bought this book was because I really enjoy the first one. The story continues on with piper, Sloan, and rush. You get to find out more about papers abilities and the special person she turns out to be. The story is still there it's still really good although incredibly short I feel like this might be more of a novella a full-length book. Nonetheless it leaves you wanting more I will definitely be buying third book. As for the narration of the story it was good but it was not Kimberly Woods. Kimberly is a softer voice and just seem to go with pipers personality better. I really annoyed by the fact that the narration was done by someone else. Lacklustre! Although this book has its merits, sometimes and even throughout, the characters often behave pretty childish and patronising.

Born of a unique race called Gaias, 16-year-old Taryn Malone has been blessed with extraordinary abilities, including one that was believed to have been eradicated centuries ago. This gift must remain hidden, or her entire species will perceive her as a threat. Upon her move to Williams, Arizona the woods on the mountainside become a refuge, the place where she can let her power flow free. Skin Walker Larkin Taylor has dreamt of the same girl since his 12th birthday. While on a run in his wolf form, he catches the scent of something overwhelmingly powerful. When Larkin comes face-to-face with his dream girl, he is astounded to find that she is real. Desperate to be close to her, he joins her as the wolf where he witnesses firsthand the true depths of her gifts. Though he should destroy her for what she is, he finds himself struggling with a fierce need to protect her and the secrets she harbors. His own secrets are threatened when his former best friend bumps into Taryn at the local café. Keiryn Falcon is instantly smitten with the new girl in town when sparks, quite literally, fly between the two as she brushes past him. The moment she is out of sight he takes to the skies in hawk form to follow. When he spies Larkin jumping down from her bedroom window, Keiryn sees nothing but red, knowing what kind of a monster lurks within the black dog. Bearing the physical scars that Larkin inflicted on him five years ago, Keiryn pledges to keep Taryn from falling victim to the same fate. While her heart wages a constant war between the boy that is bound to protect her and the one she shares a deep, inexplicable connection with, who will she choose, and will that choice destroy them all? Members Reviews: Definitely worth the time and money! I downloaded the free preview of this book, and before I had even finished reading, I bought the whole saga! It is very hard to explain why I loved this book without giving too much away, but I will try. This is not your typical young adult fantasy / romance, even though it has all of that, but so much more! I feel the main point of the story is how family is more than just a blood relation and how far the main character goes to protect those she loves! There are parts of the story that are predictable, but many parts where I literally gasped out loud (and had to explain to my husband & children each time that I was fine, it was just a good book!) at a shocking turn in the story. I was not disappointed, and can't wait to start book two! Great read for All Ages I just completed reading the Whispering Wind book. It was very entertaining and the characters kept me on my seat. I look forward to reading the next installments to find out what happens next to these characters. The authors did a great job describing the story and not wanting the book to end. The storyline has much to offer for many different readers. Wishing Karlie Marve much success. Will not let you down. Mystery, suspense, action, romance.... This book has it all. After reading so many duds lately I was happily sucked into this book from the beginning and it kept getting better and better as the pages kept turning. The characters were really well developed and you easily connect with their different personalities.

WINNER, Reader's Favorite Book Awards, 2015, Honorable Mention, YA scifi FINALIST, Young Adult Finalist in the IAN Book Awards, 2015 Infected, The Shiners is book one in the Forgotten Origins Trilogy (Formerly titled Bloodline) Members Reviews: Intriguing story line and easy to listen to Would you listen to Bloodline again? Why? Yes, the story draws you in. It's fun to listen to mysteries again to see the story unfold knowing what the end will be. Also, Tara's voice is very easy to understand and listen to. I've listened to many audio books, and there are times when the tone of the voice is too low, or inflections are in strange places that I believe distract from the telling of the story. Tara is every bit as good as some of the paid actors who narrate for audio. What does Tara Ellis bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? I think it is interesting hearing the author read their own stories (as long as they are talented enough to do so:)), because you experience the characters exactly how they had envisioned them. They created them, and now they are able to bring them even more to life. Any additional comments? My husband stayed up late and finished this book in 2 nights! He never does that. He was completely drawn in to the exciting plot. We are looking forward to listening to more from Tara Ellis. Bloodline: I really liked Bloodlines from the start of the Audio book. I think the author did a great job retelling the story in the audio book. I like the way the author took us with her on this story rollercoaster. `Bloodline' is an enjoyable first person narrative that made me understand where the characters were coming from. I enjoyed the ride very much. *This was audio book was given to by the author in exchange for an honest review* Bloodline,bk 1 Would you consider the audio edition of Bloodline to be better than the print version? I have no idea since I only listened to the audio version. What other book might you compare Bloodline to and why? Cell,maybe What about Tara Elliss performance did you like? Ms Ellis performance was terrific!She did a good job with both female and male voices. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? No extreme reactions aside from really wishing this was not another book pushing the idea of 'god is good'. Any additional comments? I enjoyed this book and hope to read the next in the series.The author,who is also the narrator did a good job in both catagorie .

Genesis Audiobook by John G. Hartness

Hartness Narrator: Iesha Nyree Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 4 mins Language: English Release date: 09-19-16 Publisher: John G Hartness Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Teens, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Publisher's Summary: Christin Kinsey started the day with nothing more pressing than an English exam. But when an EMP attack knocked out all technology across the globe, she found herself in the mountains of Georgia trying to stay alive in a world suddenly thrown back in time 100 years or more. And when she starts shooting lightning bolts out of her hands, things get really weird. Christin, her younger brother Matt, and Matt's cute friend Dave have to figure out what this new world is about, why they suddenly have super powers, and what happened to their mom in this apocalyptic fantasy novel geared for audiences 16 and up. Members Reviews: good story ruined by bad narration Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? no, the narration was horrible. There are times you hear the pages being turned, the accents are horrible southern twangs, and there are multiple times the narrator starts reading and stops the sentence and repeats it. What didnt you like about Iesha Nyrees performance? the terrible accents, her starting sentences then stopping and repeating them. The fact you can hear her breathe and pages being turned. The hiss of the recoding the entire time. This might be a better read than a listen Do you think Genesis needs a follow-up book? Why or why not? Only with a new narrator Any additional comments? This might be a better read than a listen Wolverines!!!!!!!!! What made the experience of listening to Genesis the most enjoyable? I really enjoyed listening as each of the characters grew into their powers. Hearing the description of each one using their element somehow made it a bit easier to visualize. I always enjoy hearing what the narrator does with each character's voice. It makes me want to go back and listen to one of John's books that I have already read! What was one of the most memorable moments of Genesis? Having frequented the Downtown Asheville area, one of the most memorable moments was when the group comes back to it, post event. Picturing the city in a post event state is a lot easier when you have been there before. What does Iesha Nyree bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Iesha did a great job giving each character their own voice and captured the emotional moments very well. The exchange with Dave and his parents sticks out quite a bit. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? I always chuckle when I read a Hartness book. I am a huge GEEK so most of his movie, tv show, gaming and geek culture references make me laugh. Losing Mr. Freeman wasn't something I saw coming so that got me a little. Any additional comments? I've lived in NC my entire life so I deeply understand some of the religious/cultural tones and really appreciate the way 'the group' handled those moments. I am not sure progressive believer is the right term BUT I echo exactly what Mr. Freeman told the kids about their new found powers. And I won't quote it here because you should here it for yourself :)

Sparks Audiobook by RS McCoy

Title: Sparks Subtitle: Sparks Volume 1 Author: RS McCoy Narrator: Kyle Wright Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 52 mins Language: English Release date: 08-18-15 Publisher: RS McCoy Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 12 votes Genres: Teens, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Publisher's Summary: "Everyone in the world has a Spark, a light inside that guides them, keeps them alive." Starting school is supposed to be a fun and exciting time for any new student. But for Lark, a skilled archer and fledgling mind-reader, it's a creative form of torture. Locked in rooms and hallways with both friends and enemies, bombarded by the thoughts and feelings of his peers, Lark is a prisoner. On a quest to master his Spark, Lark's mentor - his one ally - is anything but helpful. What Lark fails to realize is the value of his rare ability, and just how far some are willing to go to have control of him. Members Reviews: On the whole, I enjoyed the story Sparks is of the training school variety of fantasy: Boy with unexplained abilities gets shipped off unexpectedly to said place where abilities are explained. Boy has mean, evil tutor, who doesn't teach him nice. Girl and bully show up. Boy loves girl, boy fights bully, boy saves girl from bully. Characters develop and do plot moving things that I won't mention to keep from spoiling it for you, then the partially trained students get thrust into a potentially violent, politically volatile situation. More plot stuff, and minor friend characters die, and you want to read the sequel. Lark is a bit of a boy genius character, a bit too smart for his own good. With his mind reading Spark he can anticipate fights, and he can learn and retain information extraordinarily fast. While important, and certainly relationship building between the characters, the time at the academy is a little rushed and awkward, as is the romance that developed between Lark and Khea. Khea is rather severely underdeveloped in my opinion, she's a likable character with a lot of potential for the rest of the series, obviously important as a love interest and motive for the main character, and a large catalyst of the plot towards the end, but for most of the book she just fuels Lark's hormones. Avis (evil tutor) is the most interesting, and one of the better mentor figures I've come across lately. Lots of possibilities with him. On the whole, I enjoyed the story, it flowed well, the characters were pretty well written, if I had any major complaint it would be the dialogue, it felt a little unnatural, though I think that was partly due to the narration. There is some sexual content, not explicit, but it was kind of weirdly done. I wouldn't recommend this to younger children. The quality is not bad, though there is a little bit of a wet sound to the narration. Maybe an EQ or recording issue. Kyle Wright is a good reader, he's clear, and easy to understand. His voice is a little too sympathetic for my taste (if that makes sense), but I would listen to him again. Audiobook was provided for review by the author. Please find this complete review and many others at my review blog [If this review helped, please press YES. Thanks!] A sultry voice for a fantastic series Where does Sparks rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? The gorgeous cover called to me so I decided to pick up a ecopy of this book. I couldn't get the cover or synopsis out of my head so I also upgraded by ecopy to an audible book and picked up the paperback. I had quite the different experience when reading it. My Kindle died so I started on the paperback. Once nightfall came around I picked up the Kindle copy and started to read.

Friedman Narrator: Eevin Hartsough Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 42 mins Language: English Release date: 02-04-14 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 33 votes Genres: Teens, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Publisher's Summary: All her life Jessica Drake has dreamed of other worlds, some of them similar to her own, others disturbingly alien. She never shares the details with anyone, save her younger brother Tommy, a compulsive gamer who incorporates some aspects of Jessicas dreams into his games. But now someone is asking about those dreams...and about her. A strange woman has been watching her house. A visitor to her school attempts to take possession of her dream-inspired artwork. Why? As she begins to search for answers it becomes clear that whoever is watching her does not want her to learn the truth. One night her house catches on fire, and when the smoke clears she discovers that her brother has been kidnapped. She must figure out what is going on, and quickly, if she and her family are to be safe. Following clues left behind on Tommy's computer, determined to find her brother and bring him home safely, Jessica and two of her friends are about to embark on a journey that will test their spirits and their courage to the breaking point, as they must leave their own world behind and confront the source of Earth's darkest legends - as well as the terrifying truth of their own secret heritage. Members Reviews: Good not Great from one of the Greats Expected more from one of the giants in the field. While Dreamwalkwr would be considered a really good first book I somehow feel a little cheated: where are the towering visuals? Where is the ethical conflict? Where is the powerful, flawed protagonist or sympathetic antagonist. I expected more from the author than âtwilight-with-proseâ Disappointed I'm a huge Friedman fan. The Wilding, This Alien Shore, The Madness Season, and the Magister and Coldfire trilogies are superb. This book, however, reads more like the current typical teen angst novel. It feels like the author was trying to jump on a bandwagon rather than deliver her usual unique, intricate work. Supporting characters are under-developed, the plot line is predictable, and seeds of the stereotypical love triangle are planted. It's a shame, really. Incredible I love CS Friedmanâs writing because her creativity shines out everywhere. Not just plots, but scenes, characters, tiny details - everything. Thank you! An entertaining story. This book is good for a light read. This author comes up with some really good storylines. This book is one I would recommend for a younger reader anytime. Readable, but certainly subpar for an excellent writer. I love C.S. Friedman, there are only a small number of books of hers that I would rate less than five stars. Unfortunately, this is one of them. Dreamwalked just didn't catch me. This is the story of a girl with a hidden power (that we learn very little about) who must travel across realities (which we learn little about) and contend with otherworldly forces (which we learn little about) to save her brother. This is going to be part of a trilogy, where, I'm sure all these gaps will be filled in. But, until then, we only have to go on what happens in this book, where Jesse overcomes a lot of murky adversity. The book is well written, but not nearly as engaging as "Feast of Souls" or "This Alien Shore."

She's tormented by a bully and endures the sharp tongue of her father, but finds solace in her dreams. When her bully ends up dead, deja vu from a dream hits her hard as everything around her begins to fall apart. Whatever killed Sarah in her dreams is now in reality, hunting her from the shadows. And it wants her dead. Somehow as the lines between reality and nightmare blur, Natalie must discover hidden strength to pull her friends and family back from the brink of madness.

A young adult paranormal series that features two worlds, and two girls with a shared destiny. Vampires, demons, and monsters lurk in the shadows where a group of chosen kids must fight to protect their city, all the while struggling with love and lost with a mild sense of humor. Members Reviews: Difficult story and narration Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? Yes, because a story is a story. But, no, because it was difficult to get through. I couldn't stay entertained. The Dream Slayer review What made the experience of listening to The Dream Slayer the most enjoyable? The fact it was so well written, and the audio narrator does a great job in performing it. What was one of the most memorable moments of The Dream Slayer? The scene on the bus with Sarah, the main character Natalie, and the bus driver. Which scene was your favorite? It's hard to choose just one. Any additional comments? Overall this was a great audiobook, and series, look forward to the rest of it Worth the time listening to. YA book What did you love best about The Dream Slayer? If you like demons, this book is everything you could want. It was very reminiscent of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, only in dreams. Natalie and her sidekicks are likeable characters. The relationship between Nat and Tristan is sweet.

The Festival of the Moon Audiobook by Spencer Baum

Title: The Festival of the Moon Subtitle: Girls Wearing Black, Book Two Author: Spencer Baum Narrator: Robert Forge Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs Language: English Release date: 03-20-13 Publisher: Spencer Baum Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 17 votes Genres: Teens, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Publisher's Summary: Still reeling from the events of the Homecoming Masquerade, Nicky Bloom must prepare for the second event of the Coronation contest: The Festival of the Moon. A two-night celebration of glamour and debauchery, the Festival begins with a wild party in the woods and ends with a date auction, where all the boys of the Thorndike senior class bid for the right to wine and dine one of the girls wearing black. With help from Jill Wentworth and the rest of the Network, Nicky dives headfirst into the world of lust, gossip, and intrigue that is Thorndike Academy. And as she and the other girls wearing black struggle for position, Nicky must keep her true identity a secret, not only from the other students at school, but from the vampire who is watching her every move. Members Reviews: Disappointing but promising Festival of the Moon is a disappointing follow-up to the first Girls Wearing Black book, The Homecoming Masquerade. Whereas Book 1 set up a unique premise, progressed at a brisk pace, teased out relevant information and swapped skilfully between POVs, Book 2 seemed to bloat and stagnate. Book 1 played out like some kind of high-stakes multi-player tag-team chess game, each character dual protagonists, dual antagonists and other key players strategizing, making calculated moves and reacting as the tension and complications compounded. I think it must have benefitted from its contained setting (a three hours masquerade ball with no set-up) because Book 2 tends to meander and lose its way as it sprawls across the subsequent two weeks. The continuing story a ringer backed by a consortium on vampire hunters is trying to win what is essentially a high-stakes beauty pageant in which the winner will be made into an immortal to give the hunters a chance to kill a reclusive master vampire got off to a great start in Book1. Nickys campaign to win should have kicked into high gear in the Festival of the Moon but it stalls out of the gate. Shes busy being sad over the boy that cant be with her and an entire precious week passes in a bout of depression and prophetic dreams. Meanwhile, our other protagonist, Jill is also busy being sad about the boy who doesnt want to be with her and spends a major chunk of her story on her own, chasing a new guy or also having prophetic dreams (and side note, enough the prophetic dreams - they were a real crutch in this story). Worse still, the guy theyre both pining for is the *same* guy but the story doesnt even take the opportunity to develop the character relationship thanks to the tension of the love triangle. Jill and Nicky have maybe three scenes together and we get neither building camaraderie nor rising conflict. So forget about focusing on their life or death mission, our protagonists are wallowing in boy drama leaving all the exciting strategy and fascinating POVs to the antagonists. Without worthy opponents or serious consequences for the girls lack of focus though, the climax falls flat. So why have I given such a lukewarm book a high rating (especially for me)? Well I guess its because of the goodwill the far superior Book 1 built-up and my hope that the series can recover from this stumble. Considering the masses of truly awful YA out there, Festival of the Moon isnt that bad by comparison and as a new series with huge potential, I think it is worth checking out.

The Hazel Wood Audiobook by Melissa Albert

Title: The Hazel Wood Author: Melissa Albert Narrator: Rebecca Soler Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 30 mins Language: English Release date: 01-30-18 Publisher: Macmillan Audio Genres: Teens, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Publisher's Summary: From rising star Melissa Albert comes a fantastical story of mythic proportions. Welcome to The Hazel Wood - a fiercely stunning contemporary fantasy audiobook. Seventeen-year-old Alice and her mother have spent most of Alice's life on the road, always a step ahead of the uncanny bad luck biting at their heels. But when Alice's grandmother, the reclusive author of a cult-classic book of pitch-dark fairy tales, dies alone on her estate, the Hazel Wood, Alice learns how bad her luck can really get: Her mother is stolen away - by a figure who claims to come from the Hinterland, the cruel supernatural world where her grandmother's stories are set. Alice's only lead is the message her mother left behind: "Stay away from the Hazel Wood." Alice has long steered clear of her grandmother's cultish fans. But now she has no choice but to ally with classmate Ellery Finch, a Hinterland superfan who may have his own reasons for wanting to help her. To retrieve her mother, Alice must venture first to the Hazel Wood, then into the world where her grandmother's tales began - and where she might find out how her own story went so wrong. Critic Reviews: "Thoroughly, creepily captivating." (Kristin Cashore, author of Graceling) "This is one of the best books I've read in years." (Jennifer Niven, author of All the Bright Places) "A dream of a book I cannot recommend highly enough." (Seanan McGuire, author of Every Heart a Doorway )"Highly literary, occasionally surreal, and grounded by Alice's clipped, matter-of-fact voice, it's a dark story that readers will have trouble leaving behind. High-demand: the buzz for this debut is deafening...." ( Booklist) Members Reviews: Fantastic The Hazel Wood has gotten a lot of prepublication hype, and I always wonder if I'm actually going to like hyped books or if the the buildup is too much for the book to live up to. In this case, you can trust the hype, because The Hazel Wood is really good. Alice is a teenager who lives with her mother Ella. Ella is the daughter of a reclusive writer with a cult following, Althea Prosperpine. Many years before, Althea published a book of fairytales about a place called the Hinterland. The book is long out of print and nearly impossible to find, but Althea has some extremely devoted fans. Ella is estranged from her mother, and Alice has never met her grandmother. Alice and Ella live an odd life. They are constantly on the move, never staying in one place for too long, always trying to stay one step ahead of the bad luck that seems to follow them wherever they go. Bad things happen to and around them: their house is flooded, a wildcat enters their house through an open window, creepy people seem to follow them, and Alice was briefly kidnapped by a fan of her grandmother when she was 6 (she was returned unharmed). But now Althea is dead, they're living in New York, and Ella has gotten married. Ella is hopeful that they've moved on from the bad luck, but one day, Alice sees the man who kidnapped her, and he doesn't seem to have aged a day. She goes home to find her mother missing, and she turns to a classmate named Ellery Finch for help. Finch is one of Althea's superfans, and the two set off on a quest for the Hazel Wood, Althea's estate, which they hope will lead them to Ella. This book is dark and creepy.

Reign the Earth Audiobook by A.C. Gaughen

Gaughen Narrator: Soneela Nankani Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs Language: English Release date: 01-30-18 Publisher: Dreamscape Media, LLC Genres: Teens, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Publisher's Summary: Shalia is a proud daughter of the desert, but after years of war with the adjoining kingdom, her people are desperate to end the violence. Willing to trade her freedom for peace, Shalia becomes Queen of the Bone Lands, a country where magic is outlawed and the Elementae - those that can control earth, air, fire, and water - are traitors subject to torture...or worse. Before she is even crowned, Shalia discovers that she can bend the earth to her will. Trapped between her husband's irrational hatred of the Elementae and a dangerous rebellion led by her own brother, Shalia's only chance to survive is to harness her power and make an impossible choice: save her family, save the Elementae, or save herself. Members Reviews: This is Gaughen's Best Book Yet! A fantastic fantasy! This is one spellbinding read. This book has it all; desert magic, elemental power, romance, danger, one incredibly tough heroine, and a shocking twist I never saw coming. This book was worth it's long awaited release. I'm long been a fan of Gaughen's, but I think this may be her best book yet! That's saying something, because her other books are fantastic. I'm still trying to process this story. Gaughen wrote such a mesmerizing, complex story. Her writing is richly detailed, and easily springs to life on the pages of this book. With it's rich history, memorizing elemental magic, lore, mixed with incredibly world building and characters I absolutely loved getting to know, it wasn't hard to not get sucked into this story. There's definitely a few twists, and a shocking reveal I didn't even except. I loved it. Not to mention there's a villain who is so easy to despise. The characters are one of my favorite elements of this book. All of them are incredibly detailed and in-depth characters I emotionally felt connected to (except the villain, Calix). I loved Shalia. She is a character my heart broke for, as well as easily cheered on. She is an incredible heroine, and a character I greatly admired. She's fierce, loyal, independent, smart, as well as broken. She's a leader as well as a survivor. I admired her strength and her hope. Even in the situations when all seems lost, she doesn't give up. To match Shalia's resilience, are some characters I absolutely loved getting to know. Including her friends, her brothers, and Galen. I loved that every character had a purpose in this story. There are some characters who are so easy to love, and some that are so easy to despise. Galen was such a fantastic surprise! He's light to his brother, Calix's darkness. Talk about a villain who doesn't spare anyone when it comes to his abuse, and his evil reign. Shalia endures much, as does the people she comes to love when it comes to Calix. He is a cringe worthy villain who is probably one of the best written villains I've read in a long time. I do want to mention there are darker themes in this book, including that of emotional abuse. Calix is a ruthless villain, and no-one is spared when it comes to his abuse of power, and evil ways, including Shalia, his siblings, and those he rules over. This story really does have it all. I felt like the elemental part of this story as well as the setting were such important parts of the story. Instead of just telling the reader about them, Gaughen makes you feel as though you're in the story, witnessing the power of those that wield the elemental power.

Love Curse Audiobook by Steven E. Wedel

Wedel Narrator: Ryan Bergman Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 10 mins Language: English Release date: 09-29-16 Publisher: MoonHowler Press Genres: Teens, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Publisher's Summary: Keith's mother is dead, but that doesn't mean she's stopped trying to help him turn his life around. His dad, however, doesn't see any reason he or Keith should stop drinking or using drugs. Ashley and her two best friends have never known real love. When the girls make a road trip into a larger city near their home on the Oklahoma plains, they stumble upon a book at an estate sale that might be the answer to their romantic problems. When the school's renowned drug user approaches Ashley, she doesn't think there's any way she'd ever fall for Keith. As her friends use the grimoire to wreak havoc on the boys of the school who have mistreated them, Ashley can't help but wonder if Keith's interest is real or the result of the spells her friends claim to be creating. Then the high school erupts in chaos and the unlikely couple have to work against the evil that has been unleashed on their small town. Members Reviews: It will put a spell on you! I loved this book. Since the author is also a teacher, I could see that he has an insight to the teenager's mind and actions. The book starts out talking heavily about drugs and how one boy's life has been crappy since his parents did drugs and eventually he did too. But people can change, even stoners can turn their life around and be a better person. Since he (Keith) was a member of his school's ROTC program and wanted to grow up to be a sniper, he confided in his ROTC instructor. Again, I thought Steven did a good job at showing that kids can turn to an adult at school. This story though goes into the occult and friendships, and how people change and do dumb things. The girls in the book reminded me of a group of girls I knew in high school. Even though this is a fictional book, there are a lot of true to life events that happen. I like the author's style of writing, and I think he has a realistic grip on the high school teenager. I hope his students take the time to read this book, they'll see how cool their teacher is. This is a great read! Great read! If you love YA and the occult ... Great read! If you love YA and the occult you will not be disappointed. Easy to read and hard to put down! It's an alright read, but the teens aren't very ... It's an alright read, but the teens aren't very relatable. I would suggest it for an older audience, definitely not to teens because they would probably laugh at the way this author seems to think teens act. love this book Great young adult book. It left me wanting more. Five Stars Beautifully written, I loved it.

She and four other misfits have managed to escape the wrath of destruction and must now put the pieces back together. Are there any other survivors? With no choice but to return to DIA, they find a group of survivors led by Dorian Lennox, the former head of security who has put himself in charge. Claudia butts heads with Dorian, who claims he is trying to protect her. He'll wish she were dead as the Dark Days unfold. Members Reviews: A Fantastic Series! After reading the first book in this series, I was literally on the edge of my seat, quite anxious to know the fate of Claudia and Ben, and their ragtag companions. I was happy to finally be able to settle back and read this, but as with the first book, I felt the danger that lurked, unseen, and by the end of this book, I was just as frettful about their new predicament as I had been in the first. How on earth are they going to get out of this latest mess? I have no idea, but I am feeling almost certain that Ben is going to be the hero- with a bit of help from his companions, of course, but I don't doubt it's his youthful cunning that's going to save the day. You can bet I'm grabbing up the next book to find out! This is really a great series, and I just love Ben and Claudia. What an adorable pair... I hope they have a great future together, and I can easily see the adventures they could continue to fall into even as they get older! LOVED THEM! Exceptional!!!! I couldn't wait to read all of the series. I did purchase the first 4 books in the series. LOVED THEM!!!! Can't wait to get the next 5 books. Really great books. Every sequel is fabulous in and of itself. Recommended 100%. has me thinking... Still a page turner. I find it interesting that I'm also listening to Mockingjay on Audible while I'm reading this series. So much doubt and uncertainty as to who is friend or foe keeps me constantly on edge. I'm still curious about Benjamin and also what secrets Elsie has in store for us. Good job! On to part 3... Keeps your attention The story gets better as it moves along. It could have used better editing. There are quite a few spelling errors that simply should not be. I'm looking forward to book three. Nice little "teaser" - hopefully the story will continue Short novel with interesting action and character development. It would help if characters had a little more depth to help readers relate to them.

I'm sitting on his knee looking out over the harbor. Grandpa is smoking a pipe. He points at the horizon. "Look, Walt. Our ships are out there. And one day, another even more beautiful ship will appear at the horizon. A mighty ship to take us all away. And Annabelle will be at the front deck with open arms, inviting us all to join her on board." "Why don't we sail to her ourselves?" I want to know. "Because she promised she would come," granddad replies. "And in that promise we trust. It's only the Unbelievers who think they can do everything themselves. They have no faith in the Goddess." Walt lives in Hope Harbor, an island community that has put its trust in salvation from across the sea. The townspeople wait patiently, build their ships to sail out and welcome the Goddess, and piously visit the temple every week. Horror stories to scare their children are told about the Unbelievers on the other side of Tresco. But not all is what it seems. Walt has questions that no one can answer, and when his best friend and cousin Yorrick is killed in an accident, he digs deeper to find out the truth about the origins of Hope Harbor's society...and the secrets of the temple. Return to the world of The Island and discover what Walt's life was like before and after he met Leia! Members Reviews: Excellent YA story living after the Apocalypse Any additional comments? When I started to read The Waves, the follow up to The Island, I thought I must not remember the first book as well as I thought I did. Rather than starting where the first story ended, it reads like a completely different story. Like with her previous book, Jen Minkman does a fantastic job writing a very unique story, with very sympathetic and believable characters. In The Waves, the story focuses on Walt and a group of survivors who are stranded on a relatively secluded island after the Apocalypse - on the other side of the wall featured in The Island. Walt lives in Hope Harbor, where its citizens believe that the goddess Annabelle will come for them. However, Walt and his cousin Yorrick believe there is more to life beyond their own little island. The rest of the story focuses on what happens when the boys start to explore their faith and question the stories handed down to them by their ancestors. Matthew Mickenberg did an excellent job narrating. He provided different voices for the various characters, and the young boys and adults are denoted by deeper tones. Id listen to another audio book written by Jen Minkman, well as one narrated by Matthew Mickenberg, any time. Well done! Great dystopian novel 2 different dystopian societies living only one wall apart separated culturally by a couple hundred years of superstitions and myth growing out of misinterpretation of a single historical origin. Simply fascinating. As always, love this author's work!! What made the experience of listening to The Waves the most enjoyable? It would have to be the combination of the author's writing and the narrator's reading.

The third chilling instalment in the new Spook's legend.... An assassin lurks in the darkness between earth and oblivion - but who are they, and what is their mission? The people of the County live in fear of the beasts bent on bringing the war to their home. How can they possibly hope to survive when their fearsome enemies are fortified with the power of a god? Could the creature that moves in the darkness be the saviour the County seeks? Editorial Reviews: "A solid, suspenseful, and spooky adventure' (Publishers Weekly) "Unbeatable stuff for listeners who like to be terrified!" (Andrea Reece, lovereading4kids.co.uk) Members Reviews: Entertaining with a twist at the end..... After reading all of the other books in the Spooks series, I thought I would download this one and try an audiobook. The story is very entertaining and written in the typical Spooks books style. Not the best of the many books in the Spooks series, but still very enjoyable, with the odd twist here and there and a big surprise at the end that left me looking forward to the next story. Thoroughly enjoyable and well worth a read, or listen. Brilliant As with all the Spook's books I really enjoyed this latest installment of the journeys and Adventures of Tom Ward. These books are not just for children but appeal to adults as well. Just a little flat I love the books in general but this one seemed as if it was a little flat. It never really got out of 2nd gear. I found myself listening to sentences that seemed half finished. I hope I was in the minority but I just couldn't get into this one.

For 13 years, Gracen Sullivan dreamed about a red-eyed demon named Hart Blackwell who tortured her every night. Her mother freaked when she found out about her daughter's "hallucinations" and forced Gracen to go to the doctor, who prescribed some very powerful medication, which kept Hart out of her head for five years. A week ago, Hart came back and brought a friend. But something has changed, and Gracen is seeing Hart when she's awake too. And the other "friends" in her dreams? They have been found dead. The police want to talk to her. Her boyfriend has become distant. Her dreams are becoming more and more intense. Hell wants her. Heaven has to stop her. When push comes to shove, can Gracen fight the evil eating away inside her or will she be forced to embrace it and destroy the world? Members Reviews: Julie Hinton nailed this performance. What made the experience of listening to Heartless the most enjoyable? Kelly Martin has written an extremely dark and twisted story in Heartless. The narrator, Julie Hinton, made this book leap out in front of me. She embodied the MC connecting me to her and her emotions. Have you listened to any of Julie Hintons other performances before? How does this one compare? This is the first audiobook I have listened to that was narrated by Julie Hinton but she is definitely on my radar now. Her performance was fantastic! Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? This was my first experience with the author, Kelly Martin's, work. OMG is she dark and twisted. I look forward to finishing this series. May your Dreams be Hartless What did you like best about this story? Supernatural, Mystery, Heaven and Hell, Angels and Demons (and worse), Civil War, Family Drama, Lies and Betrayal, Suspense, Spells, Epic-Save-the-World-from-the-Bad-Guys theme, a little bit of love and conflicted emotions... This book has some of all of that. If you like just about anything in books, then pick this series up. You'll find something in there that you will like. What about Julie Hintons performance did you like? Julie Hinton was the narrator for the audio book. I've seen enough of Kelly's Facebook videos that I kind of know her voice. The first time I heard Julie Hinton start out in the first chapter of this book, I immediately thought, "Wow! She's reading it like Kelly would." She has that Southern drawl, which is perfectly fitting for the Southern characters. But she keeps her voices for characters different, distinct, and consistent. There is little higher praise than that for a book narrator. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? So I read/listened to this book and finished it exactly one year after my wife, Rachel did. Rachel purchased a copy of her audio book through Audible for me months ago and I just finished listening to it, and I'm looking forward for the next audio books. Kelly, I'm sorry this one took me so long to complete. I was busy, you know, like getting my CPA busy. But the wait is over, and my review is here. Any additional comments? One of the things I found slightly irritating was the excessive soliloquies, where the character was thinking in their head (or sometimes having a conversation mentally, but... well that's okay).

Members Reviews: Also disappointed I never thought I would give a low rating for one of Tim's books. But,I agree with another reviewer. I am disappointed and frustrated with this series. A long wait since the last book, ninety short pages and not much of what we didn't already know. This has to be the slowest advancing story I have ever read. I guess what I should do is, stop buying the books as soon as they are released and buy them when the series is finished. But that could take 50 more very short books. Story is pretty good but a lot of wasted money and a ... These books are very SHORT and not really to the point. I am wondering if the writer is just writing to make more money. Story is pretty good but a lot of wasted money and a lot of books to read that will take you no more than 25 minutes each. what's with that??? Excellent read Pleasantly surprised to find the setting was in the past. Now we get to live the history rather than have it trickle down in flashbacks. Really enjoyed it. Just too short!!! Loved the book Loved the book, reeled me in and the further I went into the book the more excited I was to continue further. Currently reading the second!!

The first in a new trilogy. Elvie Nara was doing just fine in the year 2074. She had a great best friend, a dad she adored, and a bright future working on the Ares Project on Mars. But then she had to get involved with sweet, gorgeous, dumb-as-a-brick Cole - and now she's pregnant. Getting shipped off to the Hanover School for Expecting Teen Mothers was not how Elvie imagined spending her junior year, but she can go with the flow. That is, until a team of hot commandos hijacks the ship - and one of them turns out to be Cole. She hasnt seen him since she told him she's pregnant, and now he's bursting into her new home to tell her that her teachers are aliens and want to use her unborn baby to repopulate their species? Nice try, buddy. You could have just called. So fine, finding a way off this ship is priority number one, but first Elvie has to figure out how Cole ended up as a commando, work together with her arch-nemesis, and figure out if she even wants to be a mother - assuming they get back to Earth in one piece. Members Reviews: Story is good, but the narrator... egads! Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? I'd recommend the text book anyone. It's quirky and fun and the voice is strong, which makes the mismatch with the narrator so baffling. Would you be willing to try another one of Connie Ventresss performances? NO. Or at least, not for a YA book. She's a woman with a mature voice speaking for a teenager, and she has a very slow, flat cadence which is at odds to the character in the book. I had to stop at chapter two and read the rest of the book in text. Connie is a good reader, but this character, this book and voice was all wrong. Wish my daughters were young enough for this one.. Enough world-building to spark my imagination, not so much as to leave me lost and confused. Some of the 'slang' didn't make sense, but it was a mild distraction. Lots of different concepts touched on here; 16 and pregnant and shipped off to an off-world school...could have gone so many ugly ways, but it didn't. The violence and blood-shed is left at remove; perhaps too far removed but it wasn't there for entertainment. And the aftereffects of being subjected to violence are nicely ignored. Which isn't a bad thing, in my book. The YAs this book is aimed at don't need another book of angst and guilt, IMHO. Options for the pregnancy are touched on without judgement; if you have strong opinions one way or the other, probably it is best for your blood pressure to pass on this book. But were my daughters younger, I would have enjoyed going out for nachos and discussions about this book. Heck, if I knew of an adult book club reading this book, I'd join in a heartbeat. It's one of those, without having it jammed down your throat. And the ending is an ending; no cliffhangers and the reader's imagination is left to figure out what happens after the HEA, and I find myself imagining what's next. The narrator is capable; characters are fairly well differentiated and the pacing and pronunciation is well done. My complaint, were I to issue one, is that she sounds fully adult, and the characters for the most part are 16.

Title: The Dirt Eaters Subtitle: The Longlight Legacy, Book 1 Author: Dennis Foon Narrator: Joshua Swanson Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 14 mins Language: English Release date: 12-30-09 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 15 votes Genres: Teens, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Publisher's Summary: It's a struggle to survive on post-apocalyptic Earth. In this first book in the trilogy of The Longlight Legacy, the wars have transformed the world, and 16-year-old Roan is about to discover a terrible truth. When Roan's parents and the people of Longlight perish in a raid, Roan is filled with rage. Torn between his desire for revenge and the legacy of peace he has inherited, he is taken in by a sect of warriors. With them he learns he has exceptional talent as a fighter. But Roan is haunted by visions he can't understand. When he commits his first act of violence, he flees in disgust into the most wasted lands of all, the Devastation.He meets friends and allies in unexpected places, as his enemies hunt him down. But it is only when Roan meets Alandra that he begins to understand his life's purpose and why his village, Longlight, was destroyed. Dennis Foon has created an immensely powerful and disturbing look at a wasted world. Through the character of Roan, hope and the promise of renewed life seem possible. Critic Reviews: "Outstanding... compelling... well-written adventure... All in all, an entertaining and promising start [to The Longlight Legacy trilogy]." (School LIbrary Journal) Members Reviews: Not what you might expect. This is not the kind of book I normally go for. The pacing was slow and the action was light. It kind of drags along. That said I was oddly compelled by it none the less. It's more of a post-post apocalyptic world. Mad Max it is not. It is set about 100 years after the apocalypse and people are living in small villages or communities. Good water and fertile land are rare. There are many groups living in this waste land and all does not seem as it appears. Roan is an interesting and complex young man struggling to find his place in this world and about the meaning of his life and past. You can't help but cheer for Roan as he fights his nature against what the outside world is like. The story has a somewhat realistic feel to it with a little mysticism thrown in. There are several threads of a mystery that get tied together by the end. The second book I assume must be about what Roan has learned and what he plans to do about it. As for the narrator, he reads in a whispery tone that kind of grates on my nerves as do the voices for the characters. He tries, but it just don't cut it. I really think this audio book would have been better served with a stronger narrator. I would recommend listening to the sample audio first, you might be better off reading the book. Don't know if this is an YA novel but you could listen with your older kids. If you like this book you might like Rot and Ruin by Jonathan Maberry.

Mary Narrator: Heidi Drennan Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 31 mins Language: English Release date: 10-10-17 Publisher: Kate L Mary Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 8 votes Genres: Teens, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Publisher's Summary: In a world fueled by greed and corruption, where airships rule the skies and coal mines have been turned into prisons, Scarlett Moon has one goal: survive. Being tough and looking out for herself is the only way to stay alive, but when her best friend, Rory, is arrested and returned to the mines, all of Scarlett's carefully built walls threaten to crumble. After being rescued by an airship full of pirates, led by the sexy and irresistible Asher Kimura, Scarlett finds herself surrounded by cons and fugitives, and thrust into the middle of a coal-smuggling business. When they take her to Columbus, the one place she never wanted to set foot in again, she wants nothing more than to get away. And her discomfort only grows as she becomes increasingly drawn to Asher. But everything changes when she discovers there may be a way to rescue Rory. Enlisting the pirates' help, Scarlett sets out on a mission to save her friend, praying that her overwhelming attraction to Asher doesn't mean the end to her freedom - in more ways than one. Members Reviews: Must read! This book has you engaged from the start! She has other books that are awesome as well. I highly recommend this and her other books! Worth your time and credit!! Wow. Fantastic start to a series! I really enjoyed this book but I shouldn't be surprised. I wasn't quite sure what to expect when I started this book. I have read several of Kate L. Mary books and have never been disappointed. I have enjoyed them all greatly. This book was no exception. She just has a way of telling a story that grabs your attention, pulls you right in and never lets go. Just as with all of her other books I have read this story was well written as well as very entertaining with a creative storyline and a great cast of characters. The synopsis tells you everything you need to know about the story going in except that it is definitley worth your time and credit. It has the perfect mixture of a steampunk/dystopian society with little nuances that make it a unique world the author has created. Great cast of interesting characters. Along with Scarlett and Asher all the secondary characters are well rounded and distinct. Scarlett is a great character but she can get a little annoying at times. She's a strong independent tough little cookie that is used to taking care of herself. At the same time she's very closed off and naïve in some ways and some of her decisions while understandable due to her past are questionable. Asher was likable from the start and was even more likable as the story went continued. The only thing I was disappointed about is that the rest of the series is not available yet. I went searching for the rest of the series as soon as I was done with this book. I wanted more. It is definitley a series I will be continuing with and recommending often. Heidi Drennan did a fantastic job with the narration. She was the perfect narrator for this book. Pleasant voice that is easy to listen to for long periods of time. Clearly spoken with a nice even pace. Great character voices. Both male and female. Each character has a distinct voice. With just a slight change in tone her male voices were really good and believable. She was able to bring the characters, their emotions and the characters to life. Very enjoyable.

Witch Julia Miller has been sent by the Wicce to bring an end to the war that rages between the Beautiful Immortals. Joining a pack of werewolves, Julia must travel with them to a land unknown to her. Here she will learn the horrifying truth about the dark secrets hidden in the town of Maze. To stay alive, Julia will not only have to figure out who to trust but also who to love. For Julia's worst nightmares are about to get a whole lot more terrifying as she heads into the war raging between the vampires and werewolves, where even her own magic abilities won't be able to protect her. Note: This ends on an unbearable cliffhanger. Part Three will be published within the next few weeks. For listeners 16+. Members Reviews: Nooooooooo I am so unbelievably wrecked at the end of this part! I want to curl up and cry! Tim why must you do this with my emotions? I am in a bit of a book coma now! I read this in one sitting and feel as if it wasn't enough. I need more.. I need to see if Julia can do what she has set out to do! Please hurry with part 3! Story is pretty good but a lot of wasted money and a ... These books are very SHORT and not really to the point. I am wondering if the writer is just writing to make more money. Story is pretty good but a lot of wasted money and a lot of books to read that will take you no more than 25 minutes each. what's with that??? Five Stars I really enjoyed reading this series of books A fast-paced, wild ride you won't want to get off!! The Beautiful Immortals series 2 is continued with the second instalment of Vampires of Maze. The war between the vamps and weres has been well under way, and it appears that there are few shifters left. Wicce, Julia, travels to England with a small group of weres in the hope of negotiating with the vampires to keep all parties, including humans, alive. But, is it possible to negotiate with such beings? Is she experienced enough? And, what of her personal feelings to the weres around her? She can only keep her distance to a certain degree from those she travels with. As tension runs high, and action is inevitable, youâll be holding onto your seats with this paranormal thriller series from the talented Tim OâRourke. Vampires of Maze creates so much suspense and tension that the reader is glued to their seat. Tie that in with the action and gore, and the reader becomes easily addicted, awaiting the next instalment just as many viewers feel towards The Walking Dead (tv series). And, like the tv series, the Beautiful Immortal series leaves you each time on a terrifying cliff-hanger. As a fan of OâRourkeâs work, I am quite prepared for the cliff-hangers, knowing that I will be in suspense until the next instalment, and knowing that they are going to be truly great. And, although they are all usually very surprising and horrifying at times, nothing quite prepared me for the SHOCK I was to find at the end of this particular episode! Itâs written fantastically, but will leave you quite gob-smacked (although I am hoping for a different outcome than the one suggested).

Title: Smoke, Wings and Stone Subtitle: Volume 1 Author: Marijon Braden Narrator: Chloe Golden Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 16 mins Language: English Release date: 11-22-13 Publisher: Elizabeth Ernst Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Teens, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Publisher's Summary: Carrie and Sara Fleming are as different as two sisters can be. Both in high school, Carrie is an outgoing soccer jock, trying to navigate the minefield of Varsity sports - and dating. Sara is a talented musician, who wants to spend her senior year focusing on graduating and getting into a great music school. Both of their lives change forever when Sara inadvertently finds herself engaged to marry Lucien Gargouille, prince of an ancient race of gargoyles. Sara has no interest in marrying anyone, but a vow spoken in the moonlight has bound her to Luc - forever. To make matters worse, there is a war brewing. For centuries, the gargoyles have protected mankind from all the dark forces in the world. But someone is making trouble, and trying to break the fragile treaty that has kept evil at bay, and Sara has become a target. Carrie sees the danger around her sister, but can only watch and wait, hoping that Luc and his Family can keep Sara safe. After all, this is what they were born to do - protect the world from vampires, and all the other creatures, who would try to break out of their darkness. But when the enemy makes a daring move, it falls on Carrie to not only save her sister, but to keep the two worlds from crashing together. Members Reviews: A Unique Take in a Crowded World My Recommendation: I liked the story. People looking for something a little different in the paranormal reading world may find this one to their liking. It is a chaste read and though there is killing afoot, I feel it is suitable for preteens to adults. It is a pleasant YA book with good characterizations. About the Book: Two sisters get drawn into the world of gargoyles and vampires when one speaks an oath of devotion without realizing what she is doing. Through this oath she has placed her and all those she loves in harms way. There is a war brewing and she is right in the middle of it. My Take: The use of Gargoyles in this story is a good choice. One of the problems I have with the Twilight series is the main male character is almost 100 years old. What could he possibly see in a teenage girl? No matter what his body looks like, his experiences would have made him older and much wiser than nineteen. Braden avoids this pitfall successfully since her main character, though quite old, hasn't had the experiences because he has been asleep as a stone gargoyle. It also explains his old world charm, grace and sensibilities. I loved the idea that the Gargoyles sleep as stone for long periods of time. This story is relayed to the reader through the voices of both sisters. There was no confusion between the two as the voices were completely different. I was much more invested in Carrie, I suppose because she seems more like me. I loved her best friend Kevin. Luc, however, never really came through for me. He was distant but he is distant within the story as well, as if his life requires him to keep everything and everyone at arms length, even the girl he loves. Braden does a good job of giving her characters differences that keeps them separate within the mind of the reader. It makes for a more realistic story. Some will find the setup too long. Still, even with the long setup, I enjoyed the story itself. The only other thing keeping this book in the middle range is the lack of consistency when it came to the rules of the pact.

Title: Simmer Subtitle: Midnight Fire, Book 2 Author: Kaitlyn Davis Narrator: Meghan Crawford Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 14 mins Language: English Release date: 04-18-17 Publisher: Kaitlyn Davis Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Teens, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Publisher's Summary: From best-selling author Kaitlyn Davis comes a paranormal romance perfect for fans of Twilight, The Vampire Diaries, and Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Simmer is the second book in the thrilling Midnight Fire Series. Kira may have survived the eclipse, but her troubles are far from over. She's headed to Sonnyville with one goal in mind: to learn more about her parents. But with Luke and Tristan competing for her heart and Diana gunning for her head, time is running out on the search for her mother. And the closer Kira gets to answers, the more terrified she becomes. The conduits fear her, the vampires fear her, and Kira is starting to wonder if maybe they're right. Members Reviews: Amazing!!! "Simmer" picks up right where "Ignite" leaves off. Kira and Luke travels to Sonneyville where she will train and learn the ways of the Conduits. It isn't long before she realizes there's more in Sonneyville than training. She meets someone; it's an unexpected surprise that leaves her hurt in more ways than one. Tristian is still trying to find Diana and when trouble comes to Kira in Sonneyville it's up to her to help protect the conduits and their family members that are in danger because of her. After things are settled, they are off on a mission to find Diana and get the answers that Kira needs. Sometimes the answers you get only open more doors. Kira is changing but are the changes better or worse, should everyone be scared or can she control herself. "Simmer" is just as amazing as "Ignite," this book is also packed with action and surprises that will have you hooked. I love the characters in the book and the chemistry between the three of them. I read the book in one day and I look forward to reading the next book in the series. I recommend anyone who is looking for a fast, funny and light read to pick up this series; you will love it. Slow but not bad! This second book has not been bad but slow. While I was reading, my subconscious was telling me"something is wrong here" I've heard her quite a few times and I don't know why it took me a while to finally recognize my discomfort. First of all, as I said before in my short review of "Ignite" the story is nothing new...which I can understand since many minds can think alike hence, the similarity on the story give or take different situations but very similar plot. However, this is not where my uneasiness came from; I finally realized, I like the characters but I am not crazy about them. Kira has many attributes that works on her favor, intelligent, reasonable, pretty, one of a kind but even so, to me, she is not strong enough. The only one I have been a little attracted to has been Luke, and just because he is funny and witty, but still lack of showing an alpha male, macho personality. The same goes for Tristan. They are both way too soft for my taste. The book is alright, the story continuous to be good, but still not keeping me away from my bathroom breaks. Good storyline that needs a little more pow In Simmer, we follow Luke and Kira on their trip to Sonnyville where she is met with mixed reactions. While most of the residents treat her like she is "different" (which she is), all Kira wants is to fit in. She starts looking for answers to what happened to her mother and becomes fixated on taking down Diana.

Author: Annette Klause Narrator: Ramon De Ocampo Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 8 mins Language: English Release date: 01-16-13 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Teens, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Publisher's Summary: Annette Curtis Klause is the ALA Award-winning author of Alien Secrets and AudioFile Earphones Award winner Blood and Chocolate. In this unique fantasy tale set in 1899, teenaged Abel Dandy lives with his parents in Faeryland, a community of human oddities. Abel, who is normal, runs away. But when he gets mixed up with the wicked Dr. Mink and his traveling freak show, dark and dangerous secrets emerge that change Abels life forever. Members Reviews: Enjoyable and intriguing - a good quick read! This was a quick read for me - about 3 days. I rarely leave book reviews, but felt compelled to do so for this book. In brief, this is about a boy named Abel Dandy that runs away from home to find wealth and a mystery girl that is in his dreams. He has a young Puppy Boy named Apollo that follows him and they get themselves into some odd predicaments along the way to Abel finding the girl in his dreams. I really enjoyed this book. Annette Curtis Klause was a favorite author of mine as a child (The Silver Kiss was the first book I read by her and by far my favorite) and I recently found this one and decided to purchase it. I am now 30, but I still enjoyed this book. It was creative and generally intriguing in itself because of the concept of the dreams, not necessarily because of the "freaks" in the book. She is certainly a descriptive and thought provoking author. I do have to admit, this is probably not a book I will read again, but I am happy to have come across it and it is something I would let my kids read (when they are a bit older). And, because of how she described things in the book, it is reminiscent of American Horror Story as another review suggested. A good book, the writer seems to perfectly capture the ... A good book, the writer seems to perfectly capture the emotions and feelings of a teenager struggling to find his place in the world with a healthy dose of fantasy thrown in. I read it all in one setting, the writer has a knack for writing well rounded, interesting character (the titular "freaks") without resorting to turning them into grotesques. Another fun book from Annette Curtis Klause I readBlood and Chocolateyears ago and loved it. Since then I have read most of her other books, but somehow had missed this one. We just watched the seriesCarnivale: The Complete First Two Seasonsso I was in the mood for some more circus action. This book fit the bill. It was a fun read, with likeable characters and a fun plot. My main issue with it was that it was kind of slow to start. I almost gave up, but when it finally picked up it was awesome and I couldn't put it down. I do not want to give anything away, so I will just say that if you're looking for a good YA paranormal fiction based in the depression era, give this a try. It is clear that the author did a ton of reasearch. The language and phrases that they use are era appropriate. Let me just state that this is definitely a YA book, and is not recommended for younger readers. There is a lot of sexuality in it. I think, based on the cover and blurb, that I was expecting a book targeted to younger readers and was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't. All in all a fun read. I love freaks! I am a big Klause fan and I absolutly loved Freaks: Alive on the Inside.

Coulter Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 8 votes Genres: Teens, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Publisher's Summary: The Key is the first book in a brand-new trilogy. When the new King of Arcadia, Audric Sjoberg is forced into hiding, his younger brother Rek, is sent to the mortal realm to find "the key". "The Key" is the one person that can help Audric take back his kingdom, and restore peace within the wizard realm. Kailee Reece is a normal teenager, or so she believes. When Kailee's wishes turn into reality, she becomes the target of unwanted attention. Rek's search sends him to Astoria Oregon, where he meets Kailee, and they are drawn to one another. Kailee and Rek attempt to fight their feelings, but the temptation is too great. Kailee and Rek's happiness is threatened by an ancient prophecy that could tear them apart. Rek must convince Kailee to return to Arcadia in order to save Audric and his kingdom. Once the kingdom is safe, Rek may be forced to say goodbye to Kailee forever. Members Reviews: So heavy handed I had to check and see if this book was abridged. I'm usually ok with obvious plots but this was just so contrived that I kept rolling my eyes. Also, the readers accents are pretty bad. A fun listen It was fun listening to this book. It moved quickly and didn't drag. The narrator was good, his performance got better as the book progressed. I am looking forward to listening to the next book when it becomes available. The narrator did a nice job with the voices of the main characters especially, it was easy to tell when Rek and Kailee (sp?) were speaking. Overall the book was fun and was a good listen. Excellent story, Ok narrator What did you love best about The Key? I loved the wholesomeness of the characters. The teenagers really seemed to have values that so few have today. I felt comfortable listening to the book with my early-teen child in the car. Who was your favorite character and why? My favorite character was Rek. I really liked the way he loved with all his heart. He was willing to sacrifice his own happiness to ensure theirs. What aspect of Chad Geisingers performance would you have changed? A good narrator should sound like he or she is telling a story, but I felt like he was reading to me the whole time. I thought the female voices were absolutely terrible. Most of the male voices were pretty good, save one or two. I think Chad would be better served sounding more like a storyteller than providing individual voices for each character. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? I frequently found myself smiling in reaction to something from the book during my commute. It was a great way to spend my commute, putting me in a great mood for the next part of my day. Any additional comments? The story itself was fabulous. I cannot wait to read The Oracle next! Good book bad narrator Narrator was awful. Sounded like he was reading a story to five year olds. And his accents were horrendous! Just bad.

Barton Mitchell Narrator: Kirby Heyborne Format: Unabridged Length: 16 hrs and 43 mins Language: English Release date: 11-19-13 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 12 votes Genres: Teens, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Publisher's Summary: The Conquered Earth series, a sci-fi tour de force set in an alien-invaded post-apocalyptic world, returns as the children forge deeper into dangerous lands in search of the Severed Tower. Holt, Mira, and Max have fled Midnight City with Zoey after watching her repel an entire Assembly army. Zoey's powers are unlocked, but who and what she is remains a mystery. All she knows is that she must reach the Severed Tower, an infamous spot in the middle of the world's most dangerous landscape: The Strange Lands, a place where the laws of physics have completely broken down. But the closer they get to the tower, the more precarious things become. The Assembly has pursued Zoey into the Strange Lands, as has a new group, whose agenda seems to differ from the rest. To make matters worse, the group hunting Holt is there, led by a dangerous and beautiful pirate named Ravan. So is Mira's first love, Benjamin Aubertine, whose singular ambition to reach the Tower threatens to get them all killed. Then there's the Strange Lands themselves. They have inexplicably begun to grow, spreading outward, becoming more powerful. Somehow, it all seems tied to Zoey herself, and the closer she gets to the Tower, the weaker she becomes. Members Reviews: Highly recommended! Awesome narration! This story is incredible, it's the second in the series and it seems like a movie as it plays out. I think this is one of the best stories that I've listened to and it just keeps getting better. The authors poignant description of events, environments and characters are captured with the fewest words possible. This keeps you locked in to the story. I also loved Midnight City, looking forward to Valley of Fire. I would love to see an adaptation of this trilogy on the big screen. I think it could be the next original blockbuster that we would all want to see and experience. Kirby Heyborne does an impeccable job of maintaining character identities and emotions. Great work!

AN UNWILLING SACRIFICIAL BRIDE. BETRAYAL THAT COULD DESTROY THEM BOTH. *"Every fiber of my being is woven from the rage of mortals."* Theodric, the young God of War, has a talent for inciting conflict and bloodshed. After being stripped of his powers by his older brother, King of Gods, he sets out to instigate a mortal war to prove himself worthy of being restored to power. *"I loved Kisk once; it was my home... But that was before. This is now."* Sixteen-year-old Cassia, like many in the modern era, believes gods and goddesses to be just a myth. Enemy to her country and an orphan of the war, she has no time for fairy tales. That's until religious zealots from Theo's sect offer her up as a sacrifice. Can Cassia and Theo end the mortal war and return balance to the earth and heavens? Or, will their game of fate lead down a path of destruction, betrayal, and romance neither of them saw coming? Members Reviews: Loved it! I'm a huge fan of mythology, so I was excited to get the chance to listen to this one! I loved the story, and the characters, plus the narrators Bradley Pittman & Jamie Lee-Lewis did an amazing job with this one! Holds potential to be a great series This story started off strong, pulling me in right away. Cassia, a 16 year old orphan, is stuck in a war torn land. The gods are not listening to all the prayers calling for an end to the fighting. Cassia must make do with her own wits and abilities, scrounging clothing, food, and warmth as best she can. While the tale is set in a fictional world, it has a modern-day feel to it. Theres sneakers and highways and tank tops and such. Toss in deities walking the land, and I was hooked. Cassia then becomes an unwilling sacrifice to Theodric, the God of War. This part was very interesting as well because I really didnt think things would go so far. Yep, Cassias existence is transformed. However, since Theo has previously interacted with her, he decides not to send her to the underworld right away. So we get to know the deities better, seeing how they live, what they think of us puny humans, and their various roles in the mortal wars. Additionally, Cassia learns that her brother Orren, who she feared was dead, is alive and was also set up to look like a traitor. Then we get some insta-love going on. Sigh Not my thing and I almost always find that it contradicts a characters personality. Now in this particular case, Cassia is sexy teen jailbait and not very experienced when it comes to romantic relationships. So I can almost buy into her teen angst and silly behavior in this matter. But then I look at Theo, a deity and War God and certainly quite a bit older than Cassia. So I had a hard time being OK with his silly behavior. The romance ended up not doing much for me yet it consumed most of the last 3/4 of the book. In the beginning we learned something about the war, the various factions, and how the average citizen and soldier were affected. Then we got some glimpses into the gods motivations for their roles in the war. However, that pretty much gets set aside for the romance. I really wish the story had stuck with the war intrigue and shifting powers as that was pretty interesting. Cassia starts off interesting and with plenty of potential.

Title: Enhanced Subtitle: Flying, Book 2 Author: Carrie Jones Narrator: Kate Reinders Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 24 mins Language: English Release date: 10-17-17 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Teens, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Publisher's Summary: The adventures of cheerleader-turned-alien-hunter Mana continue in this sequel to Flying by the New York Times bestselling author of Need, Carrie Jones. Seventeen-year-old Mana has found and rescued her mother, but her work isn't done yet. Her mother may be out of alien hands, but she's in a coma, unable to tell anyone what she knows. Mana is ready to take action. The only problem? Nobody will let her. Lyle, her best friend and almost-boyfriend (for a minute there, anyway), seems to want nothing to do with hunting aliens, despite his love of Doctor Who. Bestie Seppie is so desperate to stay out of it, she's actually leaving town. And her mom's hot but arrogant alien-hunting partner, China, is ignoring Mana's texts, cutting her out of the mission entirely. They all know the alien threat won't stay quiet for long. It's up to Mana to fight her way back in. Members Reviews: Couldn't put it down After reading Flying I couldn't wait for the sequel - always a sign that a book is awesome - and Enhanced does not disappoint. We again meet Mana, who only just recently found out that her life was meant to be bigger than just cheerleading, hanging with her friends, and muddling through high school. With her mother in the hospital and both of her best friends seeming to abandon her, Mana has to decide who she can trust. Carrie Jones is amazing at writing characters you can relate to, and the story told in Enhanced is exciting and scary and fun all at the same time. From the first page to the last I couldn't put it down and I'm dying to know what happens next.

Title: Ringer: Told in Back-To-Back Novellas Subtitle: Replica, Book 2 Author: Lauren Oliver Narrator: Sarah Drew, Erin Spencer Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 10 mins Language: English Release date: 10-05-17 Publisher: Hodder & Stoughton Genres: Teens, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Publisher's Summary: The sequel to the epic two-story novel Replica. Like its ambitious companion novel, Replica, this far-reaching novel by the powerhouse author of Before I Fall and the Delirium trilogy digs deep into questions of how to be a human being in a world where humanity cannot be taken for granted. In the world outside of the Haven Institute, Lyra and Caelum are finding it hard to be human - and Lyra, infected at Haven with a terrible disease, finds her symptoms are growing worse. When Caelum leaves without warning, Lyra follows him, seeking a pioneering organisation in Philadelphia that might have a cure. But what they uncover there is a shocking connection to their past, even as their future seems in danger of collapsing. Though Gemma just wants to go back to her normal life after Haven, she soon learns that her powerful father has other plans for the replicas - unless she and her boyfriend, Pete, can stop him. But they soon learn that they aren't safe either. The Haven Institute wasn't destroyed after all, and now Gemma is the one behind the walls. Best-selling author Lauren Oliver brings the Replica duology to a shocking close in Ringer, but like both Gemma and Lyra, you won't be able to leave the world of Haven behind after you've finished. Members Reviews: I love love Lauren Oliver and the Replica series is so ... I love love Lauren Oliver and the Replica series is so unique and interesting. They are like 500 pages but I devour them. Ringer is just as fast paced as Replica. I love the two different stories. I always read Gemma first, and her story is always my favorite. I do enjoy Lyraâs story too. This story was just as fun and intriguing as the first one. Lauren Oliver never lets me down. Great read Love this book, I purchased it after reading Replica, I would recommend to anyone. The dual feature of two stories in one from different perspectives is amazing. Worth buying! Good book and interesting having two perspectives and two ways to read it. I enjoyed it. Not my favorite book but i still enjoyed reading it. Five Stars I really enjoyed. Like itâs predecessor I remember being really taken by Lauren OliverâsâReplicaâlast year, but when I picked up the sequel,âRinger, I was having trouble remembering where we left off. I knew the gist, but certain characters and plot points were a bit foggy for me. Sadly, this made it hard to get back into, but I was so excited to be able to pick this back up that I persisted, and it paid off. Like itâs predecessor,âRingerâis divided into two parts, one for Gemma and one for Lyra. Like before, you can read these parts separately or you can switch back and forth between the two for a more linear story, depending on your preference. I love that this is an option, but like before, I chose to read Gemmaâs story first, then Lyraâs, as I quite enjoy going back and filling in the blanks, not knowing at the time where the two stories will interweave. Gemma is, understandably, having a hard time going back to her regular routine after having met her replica and finding out some other disturbing things about her life. Sheâs distancing herself form her friends and school work, sheâs arguing with her parents and rebelling, she is obsessing over Lyra and the idea of twins/replicas/clones.

On the night she tries to end her life, a stranger stops her and offers a proposition: a clean slate, in exchange for her agreement to become the guardian of a young woman she has never met. Leery of the assignment and the man behind it, Aveline has no other option but to accept the deal. Aveline's suspicion that something is off about the arrangement magnifies when she meets her new ward, Tiana Hanover, the daughter of the most powerful man in Lost Vegas. Expecting a pampered princess with an attitude, Aveline is surprised to discover Tiana is little more than a slave - and harboring a secret the wealthy Hanovers cannot risk being revealed in two months, on Tiana's 18th birthday. Determined to keep the Hanover girl alive, Aveline must learn how to protect Tiana from the other Hanover's or wind up dead alongside her ward. This is a young adult, post-apocalyptic series. Members Reviews: Loved It!!! Would you consider the audio edition of Aveline to be better than the print version? Yes, I would rather listen to Lizzy's books because they are so much fun Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes, I love all of this authors books and can never get enough of them. Any additional comments? This book was an awesome start o a new series by Lizzy Ford. I loved meeting all the new characters and thought the storyline was really refreshing compared to what out there right now. I wanted to gobble this book all up in one session. I also really liked the narrator on this one. The book seemed to go really smoothly. Would I recommend this book? Heck yes I would, I cant wait to read the others. Love the story. very gripping, like many other books by Lizzy Ford. can't wait to continue listening. slow at first as the ground work for the characters was laid but damn it got better and better. Reading -vs- listening I love Litzy Fords books , but I think the reader needed to use more inflection and emotion while telling an action filled story.

There is no war. There is no discontent. All citizens are complacent members of the Global Governance. But one summer is about to change everything. Keeva Tee just turned 15. She's about to make the trip to Monarch Camp to be imprinted with her intended life partner. But in her happy, carefree life in the Ocean Community, she hears whispers about "anomalies" - citizens who can't be imprinted. When Keeva arrives at Monarch Camp, her worst nightmare becomes a reality - she is an anomaly. She begins to doubt everything she's ever believed. What if freedom and individuality have been sacrificed for security? When Keeva finds a warning carved under a bunk bed she begins to understand: nonconformity will be punished, dissent is not an option, insurgents will be destroyed. Members Reviews: Different.... I liked the premise of this book so requested to listen to it, and this was provided without obligation. This is the first time I've listened to Lucinda, and I think her first book, though not sure. However, although her accent seemed very well pronounced, can I use the word posh, lol I really enjoyed the performance. She had a nice spin on Keeva as a 15 year old. And she kept me going on a story that maybe wasn't something I'd actually keep on listening to. Writing wise, I did think the story had some pretty weak spots. The fact some things were repeated from one chapter to the next, really grated on me. Almost the same info, just from two perspectives. I did enjoy the POV switch to Calix, (apart from that one repetitive chapter) and his life and the life his father wants for him was well developed. I could really get behind him and the way his mother brought him up, and to the way his father wanted him to take over ruling. I think there were some good twists, Son, and the traitor within the rebels, but Keeva was a little slow in the uptake there... and I wonder why. The whole novel seemed to only just really get going....when it ended. The battle itself to stop the desalination plant, a huge let down. There really wasn't a lot to win, it seemed just too easy. And so the kidnap of Kai just didn't work for me and left the end of the book on too much of a downer. I almost wished it was just slowed down a bit more, a little more of a fight... Overall thoughts though, this was different, and the world building was good and the characters, a little young, but they do grow. And they grow into much better characters. I do hope there's another because I would like to come back and find out what happens to Keeva and her friends. Thank you for the entertaining hours :) Loved it! I am one of (probably) the few people who have not read The Hunger Games, nor have I seen the movies. Not because I dont like the story, but it was so much publicity around it, so many people saying how great the story is, how amazing the main character is that I feel I already know what to expect. So, based on that, I started listening to Anomalies, with an open mind, trying not to let my idea of other similar books cloud my judgment. So all is nice in the world, everything has its place. Everybody knows what will come next, until Keeva discovers shes an anomaly. Shes now someone whose destiny has been altered, someone who doesnt fit in anymore.

She's been keeping secrets her whole life. Two, actually. First, that she ages five times slower than average people, so that while she looks 18 years old, she's closer to 80. The second is that her blood has a mysterious power to heal. For Elyse, these things don't make her special. They make life dangerous. After the death of her parents, she's been careful to keep her secret as closely guarded as possible. Now, only one other person in the world knows about her age and ability. Or so she thinks. Elyse is not the only one keeping secrets. There are others like her all over the world, descendants of the very people the Greeks considered gods. She is one of them, and they have been waiting for her for a long time. Some are waiting for her to put an end to centuries of traditions that have oppressed their people under the guise of safeguarding them. Others are determined to keep her from doing just that. But for Elyse, the game is just beginning - and she's not entirely willing to play by their rules. Members Reviews: Love!! I read this book a few years ago and really enjoyed it, so when it came out on audiobook, I jumped on a chance to listen. It is just as good as I remember and I really enjoyed the narrator's interpretation. Not too fast, not too slow. No goofy voices; just enough distinction. I love this world that Jessica has created and will definitely be reading the rest of the series.

Members Reviews: A Great Story! I listened to the first story along time ago and I finally was able to get to the second audio. The author Kristen Middleton did a fantastic job with writing this story. She has outdone herself once more. This story was filled with mystery, intrigue, and some twists and turns along the way. I hope the author will write a third book or if she has then put it on Audible. I look forward to hearing more stories this author has wrote and on Audible. Elizabeth Meadows does a great job with the telling of each story. I really enjoy listening to each story that she narrates. I found myself engrossed in this story from start to finish. I didn't think the story was as good as the first story in the Witches of Bayport though. I give it a 4 star rating!

Title: Shadow of the Wolf Author: Tim Hall Narrator: Joe Jameson Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 9 mins Language: English Release date: 07-03-14 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Teens, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Publisher's Summary: The first book of the trilogy, Shadow of the Wolf, is set in Sherwood Forest in medieval England. In it, Tim Hall presents a Robin Hood more heroic and horrific than ever before: a 14-year-old blind, ruthless assassin and elemental creature of the forest, hell-bent on a mission to avenge his father's death and the brutal abduction of his soul mate, Marian. It is a breathtakingly original - and utterly compelling - retelling of the Robin Hood legend. Members Reviews: Great narrator. Tedious story First off, the narrator is brilliant and manages to give each character such a distinct voice that I struggled to believe that it was all done by one person. However, the text itself is so frustrating that I didn't enjoy it. I simply didn't understand why Robin would give everything up and leave the Keep to go find Marion - and I found all that 'our fates are entwined; you are me and I am you' guff really irritating. Infuriatingly, the bit I enjoyed most was when Robin was training to be a knight - and was really annoyed when he left to go chase after some spoiled little rich girl. Disappointing I am struggling with this one - it may be the first audiobook I don't finish, and that's surprising because it promised to be just the sort of novel I enjoy. But it seems slow and the characters don't engage me. It's a pity because the narration was very good. A bit wishy washy I'm sure some people will love the form of this story, but for me it was too ethereal and wishy washy. I'm not sure the narration helped either as although Joe Jameson did a good job of giving the characters individual voices, some of them really grated - especially that of Marion, who really just came across as a spoilt brat most of the time, and I was left wondering why Robin kept chasing after her. I also felt many of the themes of the story were never adequately explained, leaving me with a poor understanding of many of the characters motivations. I kept listening to the end, hoping that the various threads would come together, but they never really did. well written and read. great story Would you listen to Shadow of the Wolf again? Why? I have already listened to this audio book twice! What did you like best about this story? Unpredictable... although this story has been told many times, I've never read it from this angle. After ten hours I give in. What disappointed you about Shadow of the Wolf? While detailed and descriptive not much happens , its all very woe is I, self pity and stupid frustrating decisions. Would you ever listen to anything by Tim Hall again? If he wrote a book which had better pace Id have a Listen. I just couldn't finish this slow, tedious, book. Imagine a teenage girl shouting no one understands me and stamping her foot while every adult rolls their eyes and sighs. that feeling you get when you sigh at that point is how I felt for the majority of this book. that's what this book is. What aspect of Joe Jamesons performance might you have changed? Actually the Narrator was good, his script was the issue You didnt love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities? the one bit where ( spoiler alert) he was in the keep learning how to fight that was entertaining.

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Teens, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Publisher's Summary: Olivia has been on the run from the government of Cabal since the marriage ceremony. Finally settling in and finding a place to call home in Shadow, Olivia and Joshua prepare for the uprising that they and the rebel alliance have been planning for months. With new abilities and special talents from Mindonsiphan, Olivia learns she can do more than most ordinary 18-year-olds. Learning to both hide and perfect her skills will be one of the biggest challenges she'll be forced to face. A constant rollercoaster of emotion and adventure await Olivia and Joshua as they embark on a journey to the rebel city of Torv, and what was once home, Genesis. Members Reviews: A solid second book but much like the first. Once again, I have to give the second book in the Aberrant series three stars. And once again, it's not that I don't LIKE the book. It just goes too fast, there isn't enough detail and I feel like parts of the author's story must have hit the cutting room floor because it's too jumpy. I don't have anything awful to say about the book. The story is sound. The delivery is not. Because it's written entirely from Olivia's perspective you lose a TON of information, and she doesn't seem to care how things happened or want explanations, just takes it as "oh ok, that happened" without asking for details. I need details. There are also a few places where the timeline makes no sense - an example is a trip to another town to assist with something specific but instead of really being there to help, suddenly they are leaving immediately. No explanation why, Olivia didn't know why they were leaving so soon but she just accepted it. There are a few other things that just didn't work for me, but it IS a good story. I just still want more. Hopefully Book 3 will slow down and give me something. Faulty editing The author has done a good job of creating a realistic dystopian world, except for the more magic parts of it. Everything could be believed so much but anytime they talk about or demonstrate their unique "gifts" it takes away from the experience. Another thing that takes away from the experience of reading about the world of Cabal is the fact that the story is very choppy. There are countless times when the story just abruptly jumps to a new part. I don't know if it's just poor formatting or overlooked editing. These skips in dialog and environment make me feel like I'm missing a part of the story. Other then that, the author has created a wholesome dystopia. It's worth the read as long as you're ok with the faulty editing. I liked it This is the Second in a three book trilogy and it is a good story. There are parts where the Author has something occur then no tie in to anything else occuring, past or present book or future. In some instances she does not do a good job of explaining how something happened, kind of like a dangling participle! Liked the story and the premise and would recommend it if you wanted some nice escapism to the possible future. Liked the characters. Good Story and Characters The follow up to Aberrant is as well written as the first book was with a fast paced storyline I devoured this book.

When the night of the ball finally arrives and Nerine Academy is awash with roses and royalty, Aislynn wants nothing more than to dance the night away, dutifully following the Path that has been laid out for her. She does not intend to stray. But try as she might, Aislynn has never quite managed to control the magic that burns within her - magic brought on by wicked, terrible desires that threaten the Path she has vowed to take. After all, it is wrong to want what you do not need. Isn't it? Members Reviews: This was about as SLOW as a Snail on a Turtle Really didn't get the whole Fairy Godmother as a a servant. Not Enough Magic and Not enough suspenseful moments. The last three cHAPTERS WERE GREAT, but that was after 41 chapters of self hate and lackluster romance.

Title: The Strange Maid Subtitle: The United States of Asgard, Book 2 Author: Tessa Gratton Narrator: Cynthia Holloway Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 53 mins Language: English Release date: 06-10-14 Publisher: Listening Library Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 8 votes Genres: Teens, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Publisher's Summary: Fans of Neil Gaiman, Holly Black, and Maggie Stiefvater will embrace the richly drawn, Norse-influenced alternate world of the United States of Asgard, where cell phones, rock bands, and evangelical preachers coexist with dragon slaying, rune casting, and sword training in schools. Where the president runs the country alongside a council of Valkyries, gods walk the red carpet with Hollywood starlets, and the U.S. military has a special battalion dedicated to eradicating Rocky Mountain trolls. Signy Valborn was seven years old when she climbed the New World Tree and met Odin Alfather, who declared that if she could solve a single riddle, he would make her one of his Valkyrie. For 10 years Signy has trained in the arts of war, politics, and leadership, never dreaming that a Greater Mountain Troll might hold the answer to the riddle, but that's exactly what Ned the Spiritless promises her. A mysterious troll hunter who talks in riddles and ancient poetry, Ned is a hard man to trust. Unfortunately, Signy is running out of time. Accompanied by an outcast berserker named Soren Bearstar, she and Ned take off across the ice sheets of Canadia to hunt the mother of trolls and claim Signy's destiny. Members Reviews: Solid Second Book I went into The Strange Maid knowing that I probably wouldn't love it as much as I loved the first book in the series The Lost Sun, which I loved with an almost inexplicable fervor, and I was okay with that. Tessa Gratton's newest book in The United States of Asgard series follows Signy Valborn. Signy was chosen by Odin the Alfather himself to be a Valkyrie when she was a child. Now grown, she must prove herself before she can take her place on the Valkyrie counsel by solving a riddle. Its answer eludes her. The Strange Maid begins before the events of The Lost Sun and eventually reaches beyond Baldur's return. It answers a plot point that was never really resolved in The Lost Sun: what of all the trolls that attacked while Baldur was missing? Signy's riddle is the answer to this question. She and a motley band, including a poet, Soren Bearskin, and several Berserkers, seek the answer to her riddle by stopping the troll attacks. When reading a series, it's hard when the second introduces a new main character when you loved the characters in the first so much. I was immensely glad when Soren finally showed up on the scene. I like Signy too, but she is, in many ways, the opposite of Soren. She embraces Odin's madness and has a violent streak to her. She is ambitious and eager to bring back the old ways. The writing itself is beautiful, and I love how Tessa Gratton combines the poetry and myth of old with a modern society. I love how the past and the present are connected in this story. The tale of Beowulf and those of the ancient Valkyrie resonant and are mirrored in the modern setting. It's a really lovely construction. I'll definitely continue reading this series. Compelling Fans of Tessa's first book will not be disappointed by the second, a book that is much darker, and far more complex than you might initially think. Cynthias narration is different from bk 1, with the male narrator being missed at first, but she becomes each character so completely that she is perfect for the roles.

Critic Reviews: "It's enormously fun, a page-turner-and-a-half Im already dying for a sequel" (Kirkus Reviews) Members Reviews: Excellent If you could sum up Insignia in three words, what would they be? Edgy, Compelling, Cool What did you like best about this story? I liked the concepts introduced in the book, although there are some times when you want to slap the protagonist it is very well written. Awesome narration! The book was great, original yet reminiscent and had be constantly on edge in terms of the direction of the story. I wanted to write this review simply to commend Hugo though, I thought his narration was nothing short of brilliant and perfect for this book! Well done! Ready Player One Meets Harry Potter I thoroughly enjoyed Insignia, and couldn't put it down. if you're a fan of Ready Player One or Harry Potter, don't hesitate- buy this now.

The Cydonian Pyramid Audiobook by Pete Hautman

Title: The Cydonian Pyramid Subtitle: The Klaatu Diskos, Book 2 Author: Pete Hautman Narrator: Peter Berkrot Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 44 mins Language: English Release date: 05-14-13 Publisher: Candlewick on Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 10 votes Genres: Teens, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Publisher's Summary: More than half a millennium in the future, in the shadow of the looming Cydonian Pyramid, a pampered girl named Lah Lia has been raised for one purpose: to be sacrificed through one of the mysterious diskos that hover over the pyramids top. But just as she is about to be killed, a strange boy appears from the diskos, providing a cover of chaos that allows her to escape and launching her on a time-spinning journey in which her fate is irreversibly linked to his.The second book in the Klaatu Diskos trilogy, The Cydonian Pyramid continues the story of the enigmatic girl who changed Tucker Feyes life, returning listeners to the terrifying, thrilling, and elusive worlds found in the diskos. Members Reviews: Another Genre for the versatile Hautman I was first exposed to Pete Hautman when a critique partner recommended THE MORTAL NUTS, a Joe Crow mystery that involved the Minnesota State Fair and Texas Hold 'em. Needless to say I was rather surprised to see Peter win the National Book Award for his young adult novel, GODLESS. And now he's switched genres again, with science fiction. The CYDONIAN PYRAMID starts half a millennium in the future, Lah Lia, a Pure Girl has experienced her Blood Moon and is about to be sacrificed and thrown into a portal leading to another time and place. If she returns, she will be a Yar, or holy woman (nun?). Just as a priest is about to stab her, Tucker Feye (supposedly the boy Abraham sacrificed to the Old Testament God) saves her and they both jump into the portal. But they go in different directions. Tucker ends up at the North Pole just as a nuclear submarine breaks through the ice; Lah Lia falls from such a height she needs hospitalization. A Medicant wants payment after she's treated. She's sold to a Boggsian, a kind of cross between an Amish adherent and a Quantum mechanics technician. There's a bit of satire in Hautman's books. The Lah Sept, Lah Lia's people, blame a plague on the Boggsian's and their obsession with technology and numbers. The Lah Sept don't mention numbers. Hautman has Lah Lia and Tucker jumping in and out of these portals or disks, perhaps too many times, throughout the book. Lah Lia likes Tucker but she can't find the right disk to take her where Tucker is. Oh, yes, there's also a war going on between the priests and the Yars, eventually anyway. There's a big battle scene atop the Pyramid. It's a bit disconcerting and ironic to think that a five hundred years into the future, Quantum theory will have joined with the Amish to fall further into the past, while advancing in years. In both THE MORTAL NUTS and GODLESS Hautman displays a wicked sense of humor. That's missing here, perhaps necessarily. Follow up to The Obisidian Blade doesn't disappoint... I had a great time reading this series. The Cydonian Pyramid is a continuation of the story of the first book in the series. It literally picks up where the other one left off. And they are structured in very similar ways.

Übersetzung von Friederike Levin (P)2012 Beltz & Gelberg Mitglieder Bewertungen: Highly recommend the German translations of the Warrior Cats I am trying to learn more German and chose this method instead of buying expensive software at this point, since I am fairly familiar with the language and its pronunciation. I have the CDs ordered as well which will arrive soon. It is on YouTube, but going back to a particular chapter is a bit difficult and the CD Hoerbuch should correct this. Also, I believe that if I listen to something on YouTube that I like/and or admire that I need to buy it. From what I have been able to do so far, yje translation seems to be dead on and I am learning a lot about how the language is structured as well as learning a lot about how the cats are presented in another language. It is also interesting to learn both general cat terms as well as Warrior Cat terms in another language (meowed is miaute, RiverClan is FlussClan. I am very happy with this volume and will collect more of the German translations to work with . Der Geheime Blick Es lohnt sich dieses Buch zu Lesen ,denn es wird wieder auf regen. Häherpfote (Eichhornschweif und Brommberkralles sohn)und seine Geschwister erleben spannende Erlebnisse z.B.: Füchse im Teritorium , einen Kampf gegen den Schattenclan und vieles mehr. Außerdem kommt ein "alter"Freund zurück.

Members Reviews: A great story! I won this book in an Goodreads First Read giveaway. I actually won the Kindle edition which is great that they are offering that now. I upgraded it to the audio version so I could listen to it at work. My experience is based off the audio version. I was pleased with the characters and the way the story flowed. I found it to be a little slow in the beginning but it quickly picked up and sent me on quite the adventure. I loved the main character Arion and her strength. My favorite part was in the beginning when her friend was trying to push her to date Logan. She seemed oblivious to her beauty and the bond they had. Overall I was impressed with the story look forward to reading more from this author. The narrator did a stand out job. Her voice was captivating and engaged me in the story. I will be following this narrator's career because I just loved her voice.

As she dares to seek answers, Lilah slowly realizes that even the best intentions can go horribly wrong. Members Reviews: Engaging YA Novel Grabs Adult Interest From Page One! I don't often read YA novels, but this one totally grabbed my attention. The plot is creative and unpredictable with each twist making it so hard to put the book down. I read it in two days, neglecting my responsibilities (i.e. my children) because I was enjoying it that much. I fell in love with the characters (Lilah, Flori, Maggie, Daniel) and hated others (Dr. Ruiz) thanks to the excellent character development. The setting was rich and colorful, evoking smells (the lab), tastes (cinnamon buns) and sounds (classical music) through creative, descriptive writing. One reviewer was bothered by the cliffhanger ending, but I LOVED knowing that there is more to the story because I was nowhere near ready to say goodbye to these characters and I have so many questions. There is so much more to learn about the plot and these characters and I am right there in line for the next book. The wait will be a challenge, but no pressure, Shari! A real page turner An interesting sci-fi story that keeps you turning the page. A great read! Adirondack Intrigue I loved the fast-paced adventure of two sisters fleeing a frightening weather event in Manhattan for a lakeside cabin in the Adirondack mountains. Faced with life threatening and seemingly unexplainable events, the sisters reach their cabin where mystery ensues at a a nearby highly restricted research laboratory. The characters and setting create a unique story which begs for a sequel very soon! The pine- scented Adirondack mountains come right off the page along with intrigue and some romance too. A great book with lots of suspense and interesting twists and ... A great book with lots of suspense and interesting twists and turns! It was a easy read and quite the page turner. I really was interested in the characters and what was going to happen to them. You really felt for the main character Lilah as well as her sister. I love how the book incorporates climate change and environmental issues as well. I am looking forward to the sequel... I just finished this book and I really enjoyed it. I couldn't predict what would happen and ... I just finished this book and I really enjoyed it. I couldn't predict what would happen and still don't know where these characters may end up.

Doch dann wurde ich verflucht. Und jetzt - jetzt bin ich eine Bestie. Kein Wolf oder Bär, nein, eine entsetzliche Kreatur mit aufrechtem Gang - ein Wesen mit Reißzähnen und Klauen. Aus jeder Pore sprießen mir Haare. Ich bin ein Monster. Du glaubst, ich erzähle Märchen? Falsch. Ich lebe in New York. In der Gegenwart. Ich bin keine Missbildung, bin nicht krank. Aber ich werde für immer so bleiben. Es sei denn, es gelingt mir, den Fluch zu brechen... ©2011 Lübbe Audio (P)2011 Lübbe Audio Mitglieder Bewertungen: Both were fun, and a interesting retelling of an old story Buy the book, buy the movie. Both were fun, and a interesting retelling of an old story. The condition of the book was accurately described and the content of the book was captivating. As someone who finds a lot of romance books to be dull, this one was able to keep me interesting and invested throughout. I highly recommend it to someone who enjoyed the twilight series but also wanted something a little more higher quality. Three Stars never got to read it. I don't read German haha Aptly Titled! As a mother who screens everything her 13-year-old daughter reads, I picked up "Beastly" by Alex Flinn because said daughter wanted to watch the movie after she had read some reviews. I did not like the book - but not to the point I thought it was objectionable so she should not read it from the conservative, protective parent point of view. Since it's a family rule that if said daughter wanted to watch a movie, she had to read the book first, if there was one, I decided to let her read it for herself. Evident are, from said daughter's review, the mixed feelings and confusion that arose when reading "Beastly" - and it's this relative morality that's so present in Young Adult writing I have problems with. Granted, the original Beauty and the Beast fairytale *was* creepy - but it doesn't pretend to be any more than just a fairytale. I thought the self-justification on the parts of the main characters in "Beastly" slightly disconcerting, and I am not comfortable that the author has designed a series of "discussion questions" based on the book she wrote herself. A bit hoity-toity, I think. I'm not sure the book is deserving of so much time. The four stars awarded for this review are said daughter's. I would have been quite happy with two. Interestingly enough, neither of us felt like watching the movie after reading the book! Said daughter's review follows: "The book `Beastly' by Alex Flinn was a magical retelling of Beauty and the Beast. "High-schooler Kyle Kingsbury has the perfect life you have always dreamed about. He's got looks, money and a hot girlfriend. But then one day he makes fun of a creepy witch girl called Kendra who embarrasses him. To get revenge, Kyle plans to ask his real girlfriend Sloane Hadgen *and* Kendra to the school dance, then ditch Kendra. When he does, she turns him into a beast. However, Kendra has a moment of sympathy. Since Kyle had given a rose to a girl, Linda, out of sympathy (sort of), if he can find true love in two years, he can turn back into a human.
