Cut off from conclave resources, she won't let a small thing like a suspension keep her from accepting Cord Graeson's offer of help. Pretending to be mated to him is one way to secure allies, but the best that can be said of the Chandler Pack is they haven't killed or eaten her. Yet. Between the alpha's displeasure and the pack's distrust of fae, she's working overtime to keep her head above water. Just when the fur starts to fly, a tip cracks her case - and her life - wide open. Members Reviews: Head Above Water, I couldn't wait to dive in!

That said...I can't wait for yhe next book! Strange Brew, Look What's Inside of You Head Above Water is the second installment in author Hailey Edwards Gemini trilogy. Picking up right where Dead in the Water left off, protagonist Camille "Cam' Ellis is facing a forced leave of absence from the Earthen Conclave after what happened in the previous story. Her friend Harlow Bevans is missing having been taken right from under Cam's nose as she was chasing after one of the more dangerous villains she's had to face. Charybdis is still out there and Cam knows that it's just a matter of time before he comes for her. The story moves to the home of the Chandler Warg Park where Cord Graeson has returned home after discovering the person responsible for killing his sister. The trip to the Pack introduces readers to new characters, some returning characters like Dell Preston and Cord's six, who showed up in the previous installment. Plus, we get new storylines, and we also see how dysfunctional the the Chandler pack really is. With her Aunt Dot, and cousin Isaac along for the ride, Cam has to pretend that she's mated to Cord, which causes all sorts of issues and challenges. Cord's pack isn't exactly open minded or welcoming when it comes to a Fae being mated to one of their own. Even if she is able to show that she's more than capable of standing on her own without Cord's help. What's worse, Cord is facing conflicts as the packs Beta which have caused rifts within the pack.

Hell or High Water Audiobook by Hailey Edwards

Title: Hell or High Water Subtitle: Gemini Author: Hailey Edwards Narrator: Stephanie Einstein Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 9 mins Language: English Release date: 11-30-17 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Dark Fantasy Publisher's Summary: Camille Ellis has gone rogue agent, and there's no turning back now. The conclave might have put the Charybdis case to bed, but Cam isn't willing to let it lie. No badge doesn't mean no backup these days. As mate to an alpha warg, she has access to new and lethal resources. A whole pack full of them. And they all want justice for the sins committed against them. But the stakes are higher than she knows, the secrets exposed darker than she feared, and the cost of winning higher than she ever imagined. Members Reviews: Heaven Help Us Hell or High Water, by author Hailey Edwards, is the third and final installment in the Gemini trilogy. Hell or High Water begins right where Head Above Water left off. Camille Ellisâ search for changeling Harlow Bevans and diabolical killer Charybdis continues. There are some important developments. First, her aunt Dot and cousin Isaac have gone missing. The presumption is that they have been taken by Charybdis drives Cam to pursue every angle and possibility, which leads her to some interesting twists. Cam doesn't have many allies after being suspended by the Earth Conclave for her actions in the first installment. But, what she does have is a Warg pact called Lorimar, a new mate in Cord Graeson, and friends like Dell Preston who stick with her like glue. The pack dynamics is hard for someone who was born Fae to understand. Yet, Cam isn't afraid of learning as she goes, and making an effort to be part of something that could have major implications for her own future. Cam finally learns secrets that her family and the conclave have been keeping from her for years. Secrets that perhaps should have been revealed a whole lot sooner. I'm not a fan of parents who intentionally abandon their own children after something bad happens. Regret leads to resolution and even more shocking news. Not a fan of the Conclave either. Especially not after Cam gave her all to them for years, and got nothing in return. She also learns why she was targeted by Charybdis, the Fae serial killer she's been chasing throughout the series. This story isn't all that long at 246 pages. But it is action packed. While Cam is hunting for Harlow and Charybdis, he is jumping from person to person, and sending shock waves through everyone that Cam has ever known. Including her own parents who she hasn't seen in a long while. We also get our first introduction to Cam's cousin Theo. Theo and Cam have a long history of animosity, and Isaac's disappearance doesn't exactly calm Theo down. One of the things that has impressed me about this trilogy is Cam's growth. As a Gemini, Cam's powers have grown exponentially since we first met her. She can now hold her own, and is finally able to deal with her fear of water that has frightened her since her sister died. Once again, Thierry makes an appearance. One could say that Thierry is the one thing that binds all these series, plus Dell's trilogy together. If you're not aware, this story actually continues into Dell Preston's trilogy which is being called Lorimar Pack. I like Dell, so her story should be pretty entertaining. Loved it! Yet another exhilarating installment of a new favourite series of mine. This book had moments of pure swoon, the major plot twist that I couldn't have imagined, and pure unadulterated fun.

L. King Narrator: Will M. Watt Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 29 mins Language: English Release date: 12-14-17 Publisher: Magespace Press Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 12 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Dark Fantasy Publisher's Summary: Strange attractions.... With Jason and Verity in southern California, Alastair Stone quickly discovers he misses his best friends and favorite confidants far more than he expected to. It isn't long, though, before he's got some new matters to occupy his mind: a student who may have fallen under the influence of a magical cult leader, and a budding relationship with a sexy, intelligent, and stunningly beautiful woman who's everything he never dared to dream of. As his connection with his new lover grows ever deeper, Stone is drawn into a dangerous web of dark magic, an ancient, malevolent grimoire, and plans within plans that could lead not only to his own destruction, but those of his beloved and his student as well. Pursued by a terrifying duo who are immune to magic, Stone must unravel the purpose of the grimoire and defeat a powerful enemy before it's too late. But what will he do if he's forced to choose between his own student and the woman he loves? Members Reviews: FANTASTIC! Very good plot. Dr Stone fell in love. The romance was lovely but there were problems. Will M Watt narrated/performed very well and brought the characters to life. Jason and Verity, good friends who come to aid him to fight the villain. Full of action and excitement. I hope there will be more books to come. Worth a credit. Great story, well narrated What did you like best about this story? We get to see the romantic side of Stone in this book, but it's the loyalty of his friends that really shines through. The lines between 'good' and 'evil' are thoroughly blurred in this story, leaving you to question the motivations of several characters until the truth is finally revealed. Any additional comments? I'm a huge fan of this series, and hearing Mr. Watt bring the characters to life is a real treat.

Title: Red Sister Subtitle: Book of the Ancestor, Book 1 Author: Mark Lawrence Narrator: Helen Duff Format: Unabridged Length: 19 hrs and 36 mins Language: English Release date: 04-06-17 Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Limited Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 76 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Dark Fantasy Publisher's Summary: It's not until you're broken that you find your sharpest edge. A brilliant new series from the best-selling author of Prince of Thorns. 'I was born for killing - the gods made me to ruin.' At the Convent of Sweet Mercy, young girls are raised to be killers. In a few the old bloods show, gifting talents rarely seen since the tribes beached their ships on Abeth. Sweet Mercy hones its novices' skills to deadly effect: it takes 10 years to educate a Red Sister in the ways of blade and fist. But even the mistresses of sword and shadow don't truly understand what they have purchased when Nona Grey is brought to their halls as a bloodstained child of eight, falsely accused of murder - guilty of worse. Critic Reviews: "Dark, passionate, tense, with a female hero anyone could relate to - I was utterly fascinated! This is no pretty, flowery tale, but one of vastly different people struggling to survive when a hostile government comes to power." (New York Times best-selling author Tamora Pierce) "This is a book very distinct from everything that came before; what it has in common though is a narrative that pulls no punches, and characters that are beautifully, brokenly, repellently, cleverly human." (Sci-Fi and Fantasy Reviews) "I had never thought it was possible to find a greater character than the Emperor Jorg Ancrath. I had never even slightly considered that there might be a fantasy world out there toppling that of he Final Empire, and most definitely, I had never thought that I could love a book more than The Night Angel. But here we are." (BookNest) "Any other author is going to have to smack the ball way, way out of the park to top this read." (Parmenion Books) Members Reviews: Amazing! I love it, the narrator was fantastic and the story intense. I am so glad that the main character, a small girl, was allowed and even encouraged to be angry. Missed at your own expense! I loved this book. So different and refreshing. I could not stop listening. It's my favourite book of the last 5 years. I cannot wait for the next installment. It's meant to be a trilogy. Excellent story + skillful narration! Would you listen to Red Sister again? Why? Only to tide me over until the next installment- which I am very much excited for! What did you like best about this story? The character introductions and development were one of the many great things about this story. This is no ordinary girl nor convent and these are no ordinary nuns. Listening to them grow up and make decisions (good or bad) was great. Duff also narrates this with talent. Many characters call for many voices, intonations and she performs perfectly. Which scene did you most enjoy? The action scenes were expertly told- Lawrence can create slow-motion in your minds eye just as well as a movie screen. Any additional comments? Definitely a joy to listen to, that will leave you twitching for the next installment. Gripping, violent and exctiing Utterly surprised to find that I flipping loved this! I can't remember what made me buy it now but I'm glad I did.

Red Glove Audiobook by Holly Black

Title: Red Glove Subtitle: The Curse Workers, Book Two Author: Holly Black Narrator: Jesse Eisenberg Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 5 mins Language: English Release date: 04-12-11 Publisher: Listening Library Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 198 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Dark Fantasy Publisher's Summary: Curses and Cons. Magic and the Mob. Cassel always thought he was an ordinary guy, until he realized his memories were being manipulated by his brothers. Now he knows the truth - hes the most powerful curse worker around. A touch of his hand can transform anything - or anyone - into something else. That was how Lila, the girl he loved, became a white cat. Cassel was tricked into thinking he killed her, when actually he tried to save her. Now that shes human again, he should be overjoyed. Trouble is, Lilas been cursed to love him. And if Lilas love is as phony as Cassels made-up memories, then he cant believe anything she says or does. When Cassels oldest brother is murdered, the Feds recruit Cassel to help make sense of the only cluecrime-scene images of a woman in red gloves. But the mob is after Cassel toothey know how valuable he could be to them. Cassel is going to have to stay one step ahead of both sides just to survive. Members Reviews: Heart this series For no good reason, I kept skipping Holly Black, despite the fact that I'd had her recommended to me. What a loss. The story is compelling. Even the good characters are kind of bad. No one is perfect, and even the worst people are somewhat likable. It's not precisely that you can't figure out what's going to happen before it does, but there are still so many good plot twists that you're always left wanting more. There is some angst, which is ordinarily annoying, but here is understandable and entirely tolerable. These kids have the right to whine, and despite a love story element, there is no ridiculous "OMG, I'm 16 and have known you for 3 seconds, but I'll love you forever and ever and life would be meaningless without you" junk that can make YAs unreadable. The narration is excellent too. There's nothing in particular to single out and say, this is why this narration is great; it just is. There's nothing negative to say about the narration except perhaps that he doesn't do a lot of voices, so occasionally it can be somewhat difficult to determine who's talking. It's better though that he doesn't, because it keeps characters from sounding weird or being distracting in the story. Can't wait for the next one. The Gloves are Off From the startling murder at the beginning of the book, I couldn't stop listening to Holly Black's sequel to White Cat, and finished listening to it in two quick sittings. The thing I was most surprised about by Red Glove is how much I enjoyed hanging out with Cassel and his pals as he drags them into his cons and tries to protect them in his own broken way. There are scenes in the book between him, Sam, Danica, and Lila that just make you feel like your part of the gang, and you hope against all the odds that everything will turn out alright for them. Jesse Eisenberg narration is excellent. Some might say he sounds flat, but they're missing the point. He sounds exactly like Cassel should, holding all the cards tight against his chest, never giving away too much with inflection or voices. It's more than a satisfying sequel to the first book in the series - the cons are better, it's sexier and more dangerous, and best of all the sense of community with Cassel and his friends is deeper.

All the things that had ever been done to me. But I chose my path, and I will be all the things I could be, too." The Athanate meet in Los Angeles, the city that feeds on dreams, leaving nothing but dust and nightmares. They must forge a new Assembly and reach a consensus before Emergence is forced on them. They have to reach out and include the Were and Adepts, and they need Amber to do it. But Amber is deep in her own personal crisis. Can she find a resolution for herself as she takes on the tasks of the Assembly? Los Angeles. Where you can toss away your old life like a bad hand...or man up and play the cards you've been dealt. Members Reviews: pick it if you like urban fantasy then you'll love this series! head and tails above anything else out there Amber Farrell fans won't be dissapointed What does Julia Motyka bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? I read the Kindle version first and then picked up the Audio companion when it was ready. The narrator was great, showing good pacing and good range. She seemed to capture some of the nuances that I'd already assigned to the characters (mentally) - made for an added bonus. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Laughed a lot. Cry - yes for one scene in particular, I was so bummed. Groused, chewed my fingernails, got mad at some of the characters.... Mark put me through the gamut with this book. Any additional comments? I loved this book, couldn't put it down and can't wait to read the next one. Intensely gripping, emotionally embroiling and satisfyingly toothy with all its intrigue and long game politics. I've just finished my second read of the book and my insides are still churning on where we (the story and me) get to go from here. I believe there's going to be some real scumbags in the next book and maybe some shocking surprises. Hang in there Amber! Loved it!! I just love this series, it's an interesting twist on the Vamp and Were world. The reader Julia Motyka is perfect for all characters!! I can't wait for the next in series. incredible book! this is an incredible addition in the Amber Farrell books, great story, great characters, action from the beginning until the end. Do not miss this book! Excellent work I really enjoyed all the characters, as performed by Ms. Motyka. It brought even more life to one of the series I like to go back and reread from time to time. His main character is an interesting individual, with a number of flaws, but with a need to perform righteous action that rivals just about any other character I know in that group. She is an Athanate(vampire)/werewolf/adept hybrid, which in any other series might have been a bad bar joke, but the author has managed to interweave it into the story in a way that makes it important, and even critical to the story and the other characters around her. This story, as with all the others, brings life and flavor to the many locations he uses for scenes, always with an eye to detail without overloading the reader/listener. This is an urban fantasy series, but unlike the rest of the hugely diluted shush that makes up the majority of urban fantasy these days, this one stands out. It has many of the attributes you find in this genre, but manages to deliver with the feel of an Amerind vision quest, in many ways.

Guided by a strict code of conduct, Kyra and the other Orders are sworn to protect the people of Asiana. But to be a Markswoman, an acolyte must repudiate her former life completely. Kyra has pledged to do so, yet she secretly harbors a fierce desire to avenge her dead family. When Kyra's beloved mentor dies in mysterious circumstances, and Tamsyn, the powerful, dangerous Mistress of Mental Arts, assumes control of the Order, Kyra is forced on the run. Using one of the strange Transport Hubs that are remnants of Asiana's long-lost past, she finds herself in the unforgiving wilderness of desert that is home to the Order of Khur, the only Order composed of men. Among them is Rustan, a young, disillusioned Marksman whom she soon befriends. Kyra is certain that Tamsyn committed murder in a twisted bid for power, but she has no proof. And if she fails to find it, fails in her quest to keep her beloved Order from following Tamsyn down a dark path, it could spell the beginning of the end for Kyra - and for Asiana. Members Reviews: Markswoman, blades, clans, and more! "The right thing is rarely easy to do. In fact, that's probably an excellent way to choose your course: What's the most difficult and thorny path of all? And then take that one." Kyra GREAT story! Markswomen, Marksmen, camels, deserts, blades, magic, what more could you ask for?! Betrayal, loyalty, faithfulness, courage, this book has it all and will only get better as the trilogy unfolds! This was such a great read and more than kept me on the edge of my seat like a Jason Bourne movie! Some are claiming there isn't too much romance, but I think it was perfect. It wasn't the center of the story. A different love story. One of family. Mothers. Fathers. Vengence, redemption. Loved Rustan. Loved Kyra. If you enjoy books like the Hunger Games and Divergent, there is a pretty good chance you will love this book! Bring on Book 2 and Book 3! The only negative thing I can say is I want this in a hardcover format! =) Good Story! *Original review on Goodreads & My Blog* I absolutely love the cover of this book. I loved the summary of the story but it was just okay to me. I love the idea but it didn't hit home for me unfortunately. But I do believe plenty of fantasy lovers will fall in love with the book Happy Reading! Mel âï Markswoman 4.5 Originally posted at Vampire Book Club After earning her first âmarkâ Kyra, at nineteen, has become the youngest current Markswoman for the Order of Kali, the oldest of the five Orders in Asiana.

And now that sword has fallen. When Megan is murdered, Vincent gets a one-way trip to Hell, is cut off from his friends and followers, and will be locked away in a forgotten corner of the Pit. All appears lost until a loophole is found in his promise, and Hades himself offers Vincent a way out: A demon that Vincent knows all too well is on the loose, and Hades wants him back. Vincent has just twenty-four hours to return his quarry to the Pit. If he succeeds, he'll do what's never been done before, and walk out of Hell scot-free. If he fails, he'll spend the rest of his existence in eternal torment. Members Reviews: ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! Most enjoyable. I like the action and intrigues throughout. Awesome. Well written and performed. I hope the next book will come out soon. Worth a credit! NEED NEXT BOOK SOON, LOVE THIS SERIES As with the previous books, this one blended action, magic and mythology extremely well, I have and will continue to recommend this book & series to anyone looking at urban fantasy, my only complaint is the books are a bit short for me, I prefer about 12 hours of audio, because I go through anything shorter in less than a day, but that is do to my ability to listen to the books without it effecting my work or anything else. in any case I look forward to the next installment, this book left a few directions the next could go and I am curious to see where the story heads next... The Fireworks Keep on Coming! What do you get when you combine a refreshing and inventive urban fantasy author with a talented voice actor? You get "Torment" by Nicholas Olivo, narrated by Ian McEuen. I cannot say enough good words about this audiobook series. Olivo again delivers an interesting, action-packed plot, literally putting demi-god Vincent Corinthos, through Hell. Vincent is really put through the wringer, but also manages to gain a better understanding of the powers he inherited from his father, the mythological Janus, that allow him to manipulate time. As always, Olivo interweaves the folklore from real places in the Boston area in a realistic way (but giving it that urban fantasy twist) that really brings to life the novel's setting. We also get the long awaited appearance of a significant person in Vincent's life, who has been mentioned but never before seen in the Caulborn series. There are tantalizing hints of a possible new Galahad, some look at alien technology, and a satisfying finale to one the series' long standing story arcs. Narrator Ian McEuen does an outstanding job of bringing this series to life, and this audiobook is no exception. He gives each character its own voice and makes listening to the Caulborn series very enjoyable. If you like urban fantasy, give this series a go! It's well worth the trip.

The series can be read in any order, but as a big Chad Lutzke fan I would recommend beginning with this one, you will be hooked. This story takes you into the lives of a family of demon hunters. The characters and storyline are believable and relatable in a way that I was just sucked into the story from the first chapter. If you are a horror fan this is a must read, you will enjoy it. Five Stars! American Demon Hunters Battle Creek Michigan Another portal has opened relaxing two demons, Flaepos. Extremely hard to kill. The Demon Hunters are members of the Orion Order. There mission, to close the portals by killing the demons. A thankless task, no one knows what they do to protect mankind. This is an extraordinary tale, a dark mystery, also a . Suspenseful action thriller! A stupendous read! Awesome Read This book kept me reading from page 1 to the end with action, mystery and the plot. Definitely a great book to keep you up at night. Kudos to J. Thorn! Getting ready to read the next book in this series right now. Another solid performance I am a fan of J. Thorn so I was naturally inclined to pick up this book. I have never read anything by Chad Lutzke before but I will definitely be checking out his stuff now. I loved this story and the twists with the characters. Well done! Now, on to the next one in the series.

Ochlan Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 1 min Language: English Release date: 05-30-17 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 10 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Dark Fantasy Publisher's Summary: A new dark historical fantasy from the "supremely gifted" Cherie Priest, author of Mapelcroft and Boneshaker. In the trenches of Europe during the Great War, Tomás Cordero operated a weapon more devastating than any gun: a flame projector that doused the enemy in liquid fire. Having left the battlefield a shattered man, he comes home to find yet more tragedy - for in his absence, his wife has died of the flu. Haunted by memories of the woman he loved and the atrocities he perpetrated, Tomás dreams of fire and finds himself setting match to flame when awake.... Alice Dartle is a talented clairvoyant living among others who share her gifts in the community of Cassadaga, Florida. She too dreams of fire, knowing her nightmares are connected to the shell-shocked war veteran and widower. And she believes she can bring peace to him and his wife's spirit. But the inferno that threatens to consume Tomás and Alice was set ablaze centuries ago by someone whose hatred transcended death itself.... Members Reviews: In the end Love vs. Spiteful Evil Overall I enjoyed this story. It was a little slow in building at times, yet remained entertaining. I particularly liked some of the secondary characters and, with the ending, it can be seen why the author took so long to create such a picture with the characters and events involved. Wraps up nicely. The narration was top quality. The only annoyance was that when the two main characters finally met, the separate narrators used their own voice for the other characters, which I'd become accustomed to, so it sounded a bit off. Tomás was a character that I did not care for much through most of the story, but by the end, again, the writer had developed him in such a manner that one could understand his drive and motivation. If I had to give this novel an overall theme it would be: Love can overcome great evil.

Empousai family roses have bloomed for centuries, thanks to the drops of blood their women sacrifice for their gardens. But Mikki would rather forget this family quirk and lead a normal life. Until she unwittingly performs a ritual, ending up in the strangely familiar Realm of the Rose. As its goddess Hecate reveals, Mikki is a priestess - and the Realm's been waiting for her. Long ago, an enraged Hecate cursed her guardian beast and the entire Realm with a slumber only a priestess can undo - and she's counting on Mikki to set things right. The beast at first terrifies Mikki, but soon intrigues her more than any man ever has. Now, the only way he and the Realm can be saved is for Mikki to sacrifice her life-giving blood - and herself. Members Reviews: Love the series This book was a wonderful listen. I loved this book as much as I had books 1 and 2 in the series. I was a little disappointed in the 3rd book but this one gave me the same emotional roller coaster I had with the first two and I loved it. Written very well and nothing is quite what you expect or how you envision it should go which to me makes it even more enjoyable. The series is unlike any other Ive read or listened too and I would suggest it to anyone looking for a twist on a romance novel. I feel as if its being narrated by a machine Unfortunately I cant tell you how the actual story progresses even though I have been a fan of this author for a while... I will buy the hard copy of this book to read in the future however I am unable to stand the uncomfortable unhuman like tone of the narration a moment longer... it is as if it was being read by the speaking clock. My mistake for not listening to the sample before buying the audio book (a mistake I will not make again). Utterly disappointed.

Who is he? And more importantly, how is he going to survive in the post-apocalyptic fantasy wasteland long enough to find out? Called "Mad Max meets Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter meets Die Hard", this multi-award finalist series is a first-person, high-action adventure that grabs you by the collar at the start and doesn't relent. If you're looking for a fun popcorn adventure with a classic tough-guy type, this is it. Members Reviews: Addicting Serialized Fantasy Adventure Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Absolutely! (and I already have!) This is the kind of storytelling experience that can get new listeners hooked on audiobooks. What did you like best about this story? This story was just SO addicting. The serialized format reminds me a binge-watching a Netflix tv show, because I just couldn't stop. Every episode ended on a cliff-hanger. It was so entertaining with the right mix of humor and action. Which scene was your favorite? How do I chose one? Honestly I love how the first season ended (no spoilers here), because it left me dying to read season two and see what happened next. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? "Max Mad Meets the Gunslinger with a Western Flair" Any additional comments? Re-reading this story as an audiobook was an amazing experience. The narrator absolutely nailed the voice of the protagonist. He did not simply read the book out loud, but rather put on a passionate, expressive performance. I was completely engaged the entire time I was listening to this book. This is the kind of storytelling that can get new listeners hooked on the audiobook experience. I would highly recommend the audiobook version of this entertaining post-apocalyptic story. I received the audiobook version from the author. I had previously purchased a physical copy of this fantastic serial. Definitely worth a listen! I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review. This was an awesome audio book experience. The narrator was fantastic. The serialized segments of the story actually worked for me. I enjoyed the overall story and really enjoyed the main character and the apocalyptic world he wakes up in. I would definitely look for more from this duo. Great Narration, Confusing Story This story was a bit confusing. I felt as if I should have read something else before this to fill in the missing information. Like I was reading book 2 before book 1. There were events and characters that you were expected to know about. I found myself drifting and not paying attention. The Narrator did a great job. He is the reason I finished the story. I was given a free review copy of this audiobook and I am leaving a voluntary review. Just... stay alive! This book is compared to such great things like Mad Max, Diehard, and Stephen King's Gunslinger, and even Harry Potter and The Lord of The Rings. With some things, I agree, with some things not. What's this book about? About an alone man who lost his memory, time and equipment. He woke up in unknowing place.

As the line between saints and shadows grows ominously faint, private eye Peter Octavian is drawn into the search. And he'll do anything to find the book...for Peter Octavian is also a vampire. Ostracized by his kindred for refusing to take part in the "blood song", he cannot stand by and watch while they are destroyed. In a deadly game with a driven, sadistic assassin, the trail leads to Venice at the time of carnival, where the Defiant Ones, as the vampires are known, are engaged in a savage battle for their lives. Filled with plot twists, mystery, sex, and violent death, Of Saints and Shadows is a spine-tingling thriller which opens the door to the world of Peter Octavian. Members Reviews: interesting The story arc ends in slight dissapointment. Some of the characters are cartoonish and the lead female is strong and kicks ass - which I like - but her personality traits are not very believable. Also, there is sex which conrtrib it es to the story and gratuitous sex - which was . . . cheap. truly amazing the audiobook was just as amazing as the written book cannot wait to start the next one

His guardian angel calls him "Q". Dracula calls him "nephew". His bosses call him a pain in the ass. Demons call him The Reaper. On the run and reeling from his bloody battle with the demon Orobas, all Harker wants to do is lie low in Lockton, Ohio for a few months and let his physical and spiritual wounds heal. But there are werewolves in the diner, and magically-talented teenagers disappearing all over town. Now Harker's hip-deep in demons again, but this time he's got no backup. Meanwhile. Detective Rebecca Gayle Flynn and the rest of Harker's team are back home in Charlotte, NC, trying to prove his innocence and figure out Orobas' next move. But no one knows how corrupt Homeland Security or the police department are, or how high the scandal runs. And now some guy shows up claiming to be the great-great-grandson of Doctor Watson (yeah, that Dr. Watson) offering to help? Will Harker survive a battle with Hell in a small town all on his own? Can Flynn and Uncle Luke find the proof they need to bring Harker home? Will they stop Orobas' master plan before he unleashes Hell on Earth? Who is this mysterious Shadow Council, and what do they want? When all else fails on Earth, will Heaven Help Us? Members Reviews: It's Quincy Harker, need I say more!!! Being book 7, I'm not going to go into too much depth about the plot because I could inadvertently spoil something from previous books, all I'll say is that the plot is, once again, well written and developed. Despite trying to lie low, trouble finds Quincy in the form of a werewrolf, a demon fighting witch and a plain old demon who is infusing the local football team with extra abilities. Meanwhile, Rebecca is trying to clear Quincy's name with the help of Uncle Luke, Gabby, and a new character who has ties to someone named Watson ;) Each book we are introduced to both new and old characters, and along with the wit of the books, it's among the reasons why I love this series so much. Each of the characters bring something special to the overall feel of the book and are all extremely well written and developed. Quincy has firmly cemented himself into my favourites and will remain there. He is such an amazing character and I never tire of his snakiness and attitude! This series is so good and deserves to be more widely known. It has a bit of everything and are guaranteed to entertain you. I urge you to try the first book, but be aware that once you start, it will be impossible to finish!!! James Foster can't read these books any better. I've said it multiple times that he is Quincy and nails it every time. He is so easy to listen to and has Quincy's snarky attitude down perfectly. Honestly, this is a narrator to try!! He is amazing. I was voluntarily provided this free copy by the author, narrator, or publisher. This in no way affected nor influenced my thoughts. Great imagination! snarkfest, law enforcement, Dracula, demon, witches, magic, murder investigation, urban fantasy Welcome to the wacko. Quincy Harker's universe is different from some others, but has a lot in common with them. He is Jonathan Harker's descendant and Vlad Dracula's nephew, he is a demon hunter yet has a guardian Angel. And he works with a local detective.

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 27 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Dark Fantasy Publisher's Summary: A darkly irresistible new fantasy set in the infamous Gomorrah Festival, a traveling carnival of debauchery that caters to the strangest of dreams and desires. Sixteen-year-old Sorina has spent most of her life within the smoldering borders of the Gomorrah Festival. Yet even among the many unusual members of the traveling circus-city, Sorina stands apart as the only illusion-worker born in hundreds of years. This rare talent allows her to create illusions that others can see, feel, and touch, with personalities all their own. Her creations are her family, and together they make up the cast of the festival's freak show. But no matter how lifelike they may seem, her illusions are still just that - illusions, and not truly real. Or so she has always believed...until one of them is murdered. Desperate to protect her family, Sorina must track down the culprit and determine how they killed a person who doesn't actually exist. Her search for answers leads her to the self-proclaimed gossip-worker Luca. Their investigation sends them through a haze of political turmoil and forbidden romance and into the most sinister corners of the festival. But as the killer continues murdering Sorina's illusions one by one, she must unravel the horrifying truth before all her loved ones disappear. Members Reviews: Difficult to review The narrator did an excellent job but the story felt a little like a 3.5/5. The first hour of the book moves so fast I had to go back and start again - way too many characters and their strange names are introduced to keep track of. Even then by the end of the book I felt there were two major characters and it was unclear who they were. Also with a young protagonist sometimes the book felt - annoying, with their young and naive perspective. The REST of the book was really good though which means its difficult to recommend for or against. Im not sure if I regret buying it or not. Id err on the side of not - but - I strongly hope for improvements in the writing style of any sequel. A very different book! I loved the plot! It is one of the most unique books Ive ever read! The main character has so relatable and awesome! However, it was kind of slow. There was not as much action as I thought. The villain was also pretty easy to pick out. Overall an enjoyable and new read!

Title: White Cat Subtitle: The Curse Workers, Book One Author: Holly Black Narrator: Jesse Eisenberg Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 41 mins Language: English Release date: 05-11-10 Publisher: Listening Library Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 271 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Dark Fantasy Publisher's Summary: Cassel comes from a family of curse workers people who have the power to change your emotions, your memories, your luck, by the slightest touch of their hands. And since curse work is illegal, they'e all criminals. Many become mobsters and con artists. But not Cassel. He hasn't got magic, so he's an outsider, the straight kid in a crooked family. You just have to ignore one small detail - he killed his best friend, Lila, three years ago. Cassel has carefully built up a facade of normalcy, blending into the crowd. But his facade starts to crumble when he finds himself sleepwalking, propelled into the night by terrifying dreams about a white cat that wants to tell him something. He's noticing other disturbing things too, including the strange behavior of his two brothers. They are keeping secrets from him. As Cassel begins to suspect he's part of a huge con game, he must unravel his past and his memories. To find out the truth, Cassel will have to outcon the conmen. Members Reviews: Holly Black's Next Great Trick With White Cat, Holly Black's created a world where magic (or "working") was outlawed during prohibition. So, naturally today - business is booming for the mafia and their curse workers. Cassel's a teenage kid who doesn't fit in at the rich preppy boarding school he's been forced to attend, and he doesn't quite fit in with his family of con artists - most of who work for the mob. He doesn't have the working talents his brothers do, but he knows cons. When he finds himself about to take a walk off a rooftop in his sleep, he starts to think someone's playing him. Black's YA books have a dark, gritty feel to them, and this one's no different. But at the same time, it's incredible fun listening as her story's long cons play out and are eventually revealed. Jesse Eisenberg does a great job reading this - his performance is practiced nonchalance and low-key, so much so that you can't help wondering if he's just playing the odds and misdirecting your attention, making the magic feel all the more real and surprising. Highly recommended if you like magic, gangsters, and con-artists. A light coming of age, urban fantasy, mob book This book held my attention for its outstanding narration, light and interesting character and fun plot. I am more of a light book fan as I often multi-task while listening and this book was perfect for me. The reader was outstanding, I enjoyed listening to Jesse Eisenberg read this to me. The story itself was fun to listen to, it had some elements to figure out, an interesting plot and fun characters. But it was a slightly strange mix of a young character in a fun light story that turns into a killer in a somewhat mobbish violent story. Regardless, I enjoyed it and will get the next book. Loved it! What did you love best about White Cat? Story was original and Jesse narrating had me hooked. What was one of the most memorable moments of White Cat? That would give too much away, so instead I will just say that I enjoyed the big reveal. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? I did listen to it in one sitting.

Title: Glass Town Author: Steven Savile Narrator: Steve West Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 39 mins Language: English Release date: 12-05-17 Publisher: Macmillan Audio Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Dark Fantasy Publisher's Summary: Steven Savile is an international sensation, selling over half a million copies worldwide and writing for cult favorites including Doctor Who, Torchwood, and Stargate. Now, he is finally making his US debut with Glass Town, a brilliantly composed audiobook revolving around the magic and mystery lurking in London. There's always been magic in our world. We just needed to know where to look for it. In 1924, two brothers both loved Eleanor Raines, a promising young actress from the East End of London. She disappeared during the filming of Alfred Hitchcock's debut, Number 13, which itself is now lost. It was the crime of the age, capturing the imagination of the city: the beautiful actress never seen again and the gangster who disappeared the same day. Generations have passed. Everyone involved is long dead. But even now their dark, twisted secret threatens to tear the city apart. Joshua Raines is about to enter a world of macabre beauty, of glittering celluloid and the silver screen, of illusion and deception, of impossibly old gangsters and the fiendish creatures they command, and, most frighteningly of all, of genuine magic. He is about to enter Glass Town. The generations-old obsession with Eleanor Raines' unsolved case is about to become his obsession, handed down father to son through his bloodline like some unwanted inheritance. But first he needs to bury his grandfather and absorb the implications of the confession in his hand, a letter from one of the brothers, Isaiah, claiming to have seen the missing actress. The woman in the red dress hadn't aged a day, no matter that it was 1994 and she'd been gone 70 years. Long-buried secrets cannot stay secrets forever. Hidden places cannot stay hidden forever. The magic that destroyed one of the most brutal families in London's dark history is finally failing, and Joshua Raines is about to discover that everything he dared dream of, everything he has ever feared, is waiting for him in Glass Town. Members Reviews: Cue the Action Steve is a pal of mine so let's get that out of the way. I have heard him talk about Glass House as something special, something he had labored over and was proud of. I eagerly awaited its release so i could see for myself. What we have here is a crime novel, a family drama, and a supernatural yarn all freshly wrapped together so it feels new. The tropes are upended and he has found new ways to intrigue us with mysteries and the sesrch for eternal love, and eternal freedom. This is a good, solid read with strong internal logic making everything feel right. If there is anynflaw is that Josh's famiky is under-developed, notably his sister Lexi. It would have deepened tuujbgs a bit and raised the stakes. But, that is a mere quibble. I was very disappointed though. I was really excited to read this because the premise was so interesting to me. I was very disappointed though... I think I only made it about 1/4 of the way through the book before I finally had to give up.

This book continued another great story in the American Demon Hunters mythos. I couldn't tell the book was written by somebody other than J. Thorn and the story was a perfect mix of dark fantasy with interesting characters. I will definitely check out more work by Jim Heskett. I ain't afraid of no demon. Mostly. American Demon Hunters - Denver, CO is a departure from the fare I'm used to from Jim Heskett. A huge departure, at least in tone: this is horror. Demons, silver ammunition, strange portals, odd characters, etc. This is not Micah Reed, but it is as good. My only real complaint is that it's too short. It's not deficient in any way; the story is complete. But I want more of the demon hunting family unit, Hank, Corey, and Sonya. Enough of an introduction to whet the appetite, and a good enough story to build a following. After reading this, I liken Mr. Heskett, the (co-)author, to being as sick and demented as Stephen King. Take from that what you will (but mostly intended as a compliment). If you aren't adverse to horror, you'd be well served to read this. Note: free advance copy for an honest review. Four stars because I'm not as big a fan of horror as I am of Micah Reed. And it's relatively short. A great horror novella ** I received an ARC of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.** 'American Demon Hunters- Denver, Colorado' was definitely creative and full of descriptive scenes. A great horror novella. The characters were great and did their job well. I look forward to reading more of 'An American Demon Hunter' series. A great add to your tbr list. A short collaborative effort from authors J. Thorn and Jim Heskett. A short (about an hour), collaborative effort from authors J. Thorn and Jim Heskett. A significant departure from Heskettâs Micah Reed. Demons, strange portals, odd characters, etc. Pretty apparent what writing he contributed, that was the parts that were better written. Iâm not so impressed with author J.Thornâs writing, if I read anymore in this series it will be the novella based in Battle Creek, MI. âIâm voluntarily reviewing an Advance Reader Copy of this book.â

Title: Heaven Can Wait Subtitle: A Quincy Harker, Demon Hunter Novella Author: John G. Hartness Narrator: James Foster Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 32 mins Language: English Release date: 05-04-17 Publisher: John G Hartness Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 54 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Dark Fantasy Publisher's Summary: It's raining demons in Atlanta, and Quincy Harker and the Shadow Council are humanity's last great hope for survival. The demon Orobas has a plan to destroy the world, and only Harker and his team of legacy folk heroes can stop him. Standing against the rising tide of darkness are Harker, the immortal magic-wielding son of Jonathan Harker and Mina Murray, Detective Rebecca Gail Flynn of the Charlotte Police Department, and Harker's uncle Luke, who most people know better as Vlad Dracula. Alongside them fight the descendants of legends - the mysterious Adam, Dr. Watson's great-grandson Jack, Jo Henry, descended from the famous steel driver John Henry, and Gabby Van Helsing, whose ancestor was Luke's greatest rival. This band of humans and monsters have to save the world from Orobas, and whatever terrible force is lurking behind him. It's Hell on Earth, so Heaven Can Wait. Members Reviews: Love Harker and his crew! Dracula, demon hunter, urban fantasy, angels, madness, snark-fest, series If you're offended by dockside language or the mechanics of demon slaying, this series is not for you. If you appreciate excellent snarks, movie quotes, and gawdawful puns, you'll love this series as much as I do. Each book is about novella length, much more manageable than so many of the ultralong ones out there. The publisher's blurb gives clues and more, so no spoilers here. It really made my afternoon a good one! James Foster gives an excellent performance as narrator! Another brilliant addition This world John G. Harness creates, which lightly builds on previous books in the series, spared nothing of the author's brilliant plot twists and an ending that has left me dancing with impatience for the next in the series. Coupled with perfect narration by James Foster this bloody, adventure-filled novella, rife with wit and wisdom, is my favorite. AWESOME! Excellent addition to this series, James Foster was amazing as usual Cannot wait for the next one!

Kemp Narrator: Nick Podehl Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 1 min Language: English Release date: 01-24-17 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 69 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Dark Fantasy Publisher's Summary: Egil and Nix, the hard-fighting, harder-drinking fortune hunters of The Hammer and the Blade and A Discourse in Steel, are back to test their mettle and tempt fickle fate. Fantasy fiction has long welcomed adventurous rogues: Fritz Leiber's Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser, George R. R. Martin's Dunk and Egg, and Scott Lynch's Locke Lamora and Jean Tannen have all made their marks. In his Egil & Nix series, New York Times best-selling author Paul S. Kemp introduces a daring new duo to the ranks of fantasy fame - or is it infamy? Nix is a nimble thief with just enough knowledge of magic to get into serious trouble. Egil is the only priest of a discredited god. Together they seek riches and renown, but somehow it is always misadventure and mayhem that find them - even in the dive bar they call home. And their luck has yet to change. All Nix wants to do is cheer Egil up after a bout of heartbreak. And, of course, strike it so rich that they need never worry about their combined bar bill. But when the light-fingered scoundrel plunders a tomb and snatches mysterious golden plates covered in runes, the treasure brings terrifying trouble. Pursued by an abomination full of ravenous hunger and unquenchable wrath, Egil and Nix find all they hold dear - including their beloved tavern - in dire peril. To say nothing of the world itself. Members Reviews: Paul's done it again I just finished it last night. I've always thought of Egil and Nix second rate characters/books compared to Erevis Cale and his books... Not the case anymore after finishing Conversation in Blood, that ending was epic, the whole progression of the story and trying to figure out where it was leading to was amazing. I only wish there was more to read, thank you for such an awesome book. You won't be disappointed in this book, in fact you'll be left wanting more and there's no cliffhanger. THANKS AGAIN PAUL! Thanks again for another installment of our foul mouthed heroes. Keep it up! Can't wait to hear from Cale! Interesting idea, okay execution. If I could do it again, I would check it out from the library but wouldn't buy it. awesome what happens next?! I cannot wait for the next book. great story. well written. great narrator. The World NEEDS more Nix an Egil What about Nick Podehls performance did you like? Nick is always Great.Honestly he was the reason I checked out these books. Any additional comments? I LOVE these stories. Nix an Egil Adventures are the best. Every story so far in this series, Has kept me engaged.I would love so much if Mr. Kemp would keep bringing us more of this goodness.

Munro Narrator: Graeme Malcolm Format: Unabridged Length: 15 hrs and 9 mins Language: English Release date: 10-10-17 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Dark Fantasy Publisher's Summary: The Night Guard walk the streets of the old kingdom of Bialta seeking out threats that are beyond the abilities of the common soldier. Nial is one such threat - a girl changed into something "other" and on the hunt for human souls. Salt, a sailor recently rescued by the Night Guard, has been inducted into their ranks. He's a quick study, but as new threats multiply all around them, will he have what it takes to survive? Bialta is not alone in its woes. Sacral, a city that vanished in the distant past, has reappeared where it once stood at the heart of the Wastes. Like many of Sacral's people, Maura is content living a quiet life, ignoring the outside world. But she finds herself desperately fighting to save her home as war comes to the city returned. Meanwhile, across the Great Desert, creatures are stirring. Carver, the last living master of the magic known as fleshcarving, has won the support of the tyrant of Tolrahk Esal. Together they will unleash his twisted creations to sweep across the land and forever disrupt the balance of power. In this epic tale, there is no good and evil. Armies march, demons feed, and deities unleash their powers on a world that will never be the same. Members Reviews: Good fantasy, but not for everybody What got me to read this book was another reviewer saying that the characters were interesting but the story was generic (I'm paraphrasing). I was willing to try it anyways, I don't regret it. But I do have a couple problems with the book. From the start, we're introduced to the city of Sacral, which disappeared a thousand years ago due to magic, and has just recently returned. And very little has changed. It's even mentioned that traders come from across the lands and no one is much interested in their wares. Imagine what Earth was like a thousand years ago. The Americas were mostly untouched by the Europeans. Guns hadn't been invented, nor computers or electronics. Public works, philosophy, science. A lot has happened in a thousand years and this bugged me for most of the book. But I admit it's a fantasy conceit and much more famous authors have gotten away with worse. The other thing was we do get these very interesting, well developed characters. One is fairly generic but the others are pretty neat and the way they deal with things and adapt to the obstacles and troubles the plot puts in their path is really engaging. But they hardly ever meet. Between the major characters there's about three pages of them meeting (on, I think, about five separate instances). Again, this is (has been) a popular trope in fantasy, the really big story, so what can I really say about it other than it happens and I found it a little weird, but not necessarily bad. Those two things I found off. But I really can't say anything bad about the book. It's a good length. It tells a series of stories that are more interconnected by the world they take place in and in some cases a series of events that happened over a thousand years ago. It's well written, it has neat ideas, I'd really like to see more of it and quite looking forward to the next book (which, judging by the brief glimpse at the end of this one, will introduce new characters). If you're unused to fantasy, and don't like the things I've mentioned or are particularly critical, I'd suggest avoiding it.

Stone Cold Bastards Audiobook by Jake Bible

Title: Stone Cold Bastards Author: Jake Bible Narrator: Jeff Hays Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 59 mins Language: English Release date: 03-03-17 Publisher: Jake Bible Fiction Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 49 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Dark Fantasy Publisher's Summary: Only a rag-tag team of gargoyles stands between humanity and extinction. Hell has released its ravening horde of demons, leaving most of humanity a puke-spewing, head-spinning mess of possession. Humanity's last hope? A team of misfit gargoyles - including a cigar chomping, hard-ass grotesque - come alive and ready for battle during the End of Days. They guard the last cathedral-turned-sanctuary atop a bald knoll in the North Carolina mountains. Gargoyle protection grudgingly extends to any human who can make it inside the sanctuary, but the power of the stonecutter blood magic, which protects the sanctuary, may not be enough when a rogue grotesque and his badly-wounded ward arrive. All the hounds of hell are on their heels. The last sanctuary is about to fall. Members Reviews: Gargoyles!!! In a world overrun by Demons, Gargoyles are the last line of defense for the remaining humans, but with sanctuaries falling quickly, the Demons set their sights on the last Sanctuary in Appalachians Mountains. But Artus and a group of grotesques have other ideas and will fight to the death to keep this one from falling too. Can they keep the hordes of Demons at bay and protect their wards from being possessed? This was all kind of awesomeness!!! There isn't enough books out there like this, unique, fun, and just bloody entertaining. We need more books with Gargoyles and things like that in it!! Anyway, Jake Bible has created an amazing world. I absolutely loved the whole idea behind the Gargoyles. They were crafted by master stone crafters and embedded with magic, so that they could come alive and protect the Sanctuaries if the need arises. Well it has because Hell has busted open it's gates and Demons have possessed most of the world's population. It has come down to the Gargoyles and the sanctuaries they protect to keep their wards safe, but it's becoming harder because all the Demons need is eye contact and that person is possessed. Another part of the world building I loved was the lore behind the stonecutters. I loved learning about them. It's an integral part of the plot and totally grips you. The best thing about the book though, are definitely the Gargoyles (sorry, they like to be known as Grotesques). They were so varied and wonderful! You have such a wide variety and ones with some special skills, that you can't help but love them all. I loved the Dragon and the sisters. In all, this was a creative and entertaining read. It was a breath of fresh air in a world saturated with books. I loved everything about it and can't recommend it enough. Jeff Hays was phenomena in this. I think it's his best work to date because there is a lot of characters yet he manages to differentiate everyone of them. His tone for the Gargoyles was awesome and he brought this book alive. Brilliant performance. I was voluntarily provided this audiobook for free from the author, narrator, or publisher. This in no way affected nor influenced my thoughts. What the show gargoyles could have been! The world has ended. The gates of hell have opened. Demons are taking Over humanity as puppet like Meatbags. Kill one, they go back to hell and come back in another body soon. There is sanctuary. Various churches with powerful gargoyles created by ancient stone cutters provide that. They are guarded by grotesques, granite carved statues imbued with power like the gargoyles but mobile.

Then he came along. Charybdis. A serial killer who possessed her body and wrecked her mind. Now she's an inmate - patient - at Edelweiss Mental Institution. When a haunting song lures her to the scene of a brutal murder, the calm of the past few months is shattered. A fellow patient is dead, and Harlow is caught standing over his body by a mysterious guard who hides his own secrets behind a pair of aviator sunglasses her fingers itch to remove. Unwilling to be a pawn in another psychopath's game, Harlow sets out to discover the real killer. What she uncovers makes her a prime target, and the next song she hears could be her last. Curiosity may not have killed the cat, but it just might fillet the mermaid. Members Reviews: Fish Out of Water I downloaded Fish Out of Water as a free ebook from Amazon. While I love the series, Harlow has never been my favorite character. I'm happy to report the plot was good, and I may end up liking Harlow with a bit more exposure. Lam was an interesting--and welcome-- addition to the storyline. Good short story 3.5 Stars! Good story, fast read full of action and pnr goodness. I enjoyed it a lot. Very different from the typical pnr storyline. If you like mermaids Itâs a great read. To sum it up itâs a combination between romance, supernatural and who done it. I highly recommend. Wonderful story Great story from the world of the Black Dog series! Love reading the stories of supporting characters of some of my favorite series. Another winner A fun read I like the way Hailey Edwards develops characters so I care about what happens to them. I look forward to reading more books by this author.

Title: Black Heart Subtitle: The Curse Workers, Book 3 Author: Holly Black Narrator: Jesse Eisenberg Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 33 mins Language: English Release date: 04-10-12 Publisher: Listening Library Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 171 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Dark Fantasy Publisher's Summary: In a world where magic is illegal, Cassel Sharpe has the most deadly ability of all: With one touch, he can transform any object - including a person - into something else entirely. And that makes him a wanted man. The Feds are willing to forgive all his past crimes if hell only leave his con-artist family behind and go straight. But why does going straight feel so crooked? For one thing, it means being on the opposite side of the law from Lila, the girl he loves. Shes the daughter of a mob boss and, though Cassel is pretty sure she can never love him back, he cant stop obsessing over her. Which would be bad enough, even if her father wasnt keeping Cassels mother prisoner until she returns the priceless diamond she scammed off him years ago. Too bad she cant remember where she put it. The Feds say they need Cassel to get rid of a powerful man who is spinning dangerously out of control. But if they want Cassel to use his unique talent to hurt people, what separates the good guys from the bad ones? With no easy answers and no one he can trust, love might be the most dangerous gamble of all. Members Reviews: Can You Live Long Enough to Make The Big Score? Holly Black concludes her Curse Workers trilogy with a bang as Cassel Sharpe finds himself playing both sides of the law - doing his best to make sure that he, his friends, and family come out of it alive. Both the mob and the feds want Cassel for the special talent he possesses, and as the story progresses, it gets harder to tell the good guys from the bad guys. And yet - for a story involving murder, mobsters, con artists, and all other moral shades of gray - it's surprising how incredibly fun this book is. As much as the cons and the crime, what anchors Black Heart (and the rest of this series) are the characters and their relationships. It's great to see everyone again - Sam and Danica, even when they hate each other, make you feel like you're hanging out with old friends. Lila Zacharov, now working for her father's brand of organized crime, gets to show her ruthless side, and it does not disappoint. The angst between her and Cassel is pitch-perfect - it's never in question whether or not they're in love; what you're not sure of is if it will work - whether or not they're lives are just too different. But Black does an especially excellent job of ratcheting up the complexity of Cassel's relationship to his brother Baron, making Baron one of the most compelling and interesting characters in the series. If Black comes back to these characters and this world, it would be really fascinating to see more of Baron. Jesse Eisenberg's narration plays it all straight, his voice never giving away who is safe, who is dangerous, and who is conning you. His reading is perfect for these books. It's a solid ending to an outstanding trilogy. I hope one day we get more Curse Workers books. Jesse Eisenberg's voice warms my heart. Spot on. What did you love best about Black Heart? Excellent story, great characters (Cassel for ever!!!) and Jesse's interpretation is perfection. What other book might you compare Black Heart to and why? Of course, White Cat and Red Glove. Which character as performed by Jesse Eisenberg was your favorite? Cassel!!!! His voice breaks in all the right moments.

Quantum Hughes and the Dream Team dive to Tritania, a JRPG fantasy Proxima World filled with dragons, orcs, floating continents, and magic. With the clock ticking, and his problems in the real world growing, including his legal troubles and his blossoming relationship with Frances Euphoria, Quantum is forced to make a decision that could change his life forever. The stakes are higher than they've ever been. Steam, The Loop, Tritania, and the real world - four worlds collide in the third installment of The Feedback Loop Series. Members Reviews: Fab continuation of the series. If you could sum up High Fantasy in three words, what would they be? Entertaining. Thrilling. Unputdownable. What other book might you compare High Fantasy to and why? Way of the Shaman. Ready Player One. All these books are in LitRPG genre and are similarly entertaining. What about Jeff Hayss performance did you like? Jeff does brilliant voice acting in all his works, this book is no exception. Listening to books narrated by him are like listening to an audiobook with full-cast of narrators. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? The book had gripped my interest from the beginning and I couldn't put it down. Any additional comments? I received this audiobook for free from the author / narrator / publisher in exchange for an unbiased review. Harmon Cooper has done it again. This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review. In my opinion these books keep getting better and better. The dark humor and unbelievability of what goes on keeps you wanting more. I'm not sure if I would shoot Quantum on sight or give him a bro hug. Once again the performance was great. such a great ending on this one i knew it was going to happen. but really didn't want it to. I'm a little dissapointed because I thought this was the last book. also excited it isnt. I'll be waiting for thr next one. for now I'm off to Harmons other recently released lit rpg. also narrated by Hays! Dive into a gaming fantasy world to find answers Which character as performed by Jeff Hays was your favorite? Jeff returns to continue with the series as narrator. Cool! I've grown to know the voices he's assigned the characters and enjoy the vast cast he can voice in a book with this many characters that speak. Totally mind blowing! It's great to hear. He also has Quantum's personality locked down, along with all the characters we've grown to enjoy. Another amazing job in vocals and audio. Any additional comments? *I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. Quantum likes a challenge, like trying to attack and kill with unconventional weapons in the loop. lol. Him and Aiden have a great friendship. I have enjoyed Aiden, aka Morning Assassin from the first book. I'm glad we get to carry on with many of the secondary characters that are created for in games. You wouldn't think they would have personalities, but goodness do they have them. And Quantum's interaction with them brings them to life. Frances isn't as highly present in this story as previous one. But she still knows how to play Quantum in what needs to be done.

Title: The Conqueror Worm Subtitle: Black Exorcist, Book 1 Author: Ambrose Ibsen Narrator: Jake Urry Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 39 mins Language: English Release date: 09-20-17 Publisher: Ambrose Ibsen Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 28 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Dark Fantasy Publisher's Summary: The year is 2023. The world's power grids have been destroyed by a Carrington-level solar storm. Humanity is plunged into a new and savage dark age, pushed to the brink of extinction by famine, disease, and social unrest, and preyed upon further by demonic forces. Desperate survivors turn to a divided Catholic church in search of hope. On one side there is the church of Rome. On the other, a rival papacy set up in Avignon, France. Wishing to heal the schism, but fearing that a powerful evil has infiltrated the highest ranks of the Avignon leadership, Rome sends a lone representative to assess the situation in France. And also to cut down any heretics he finds along the way. Exorcist Ossian McGregor, armed with the holy sword Grand Inquisitor, sets out to Avignon on a crusade with the intention to follow the stream of demonic activity to its fountainhead. But the evil he finds far exceeds even his wildest imaginings. The year is 2023. Welcome to Hell on Earth. Members Reviews: Deliciously dark!! I'm a big fan of this author and have to say that this is different than his other works. While his books are always dark, this was his darkest yet!! So the world was sent back to the dark ages after a CME destroyed the power grid. Now, humanity is struggling to survive, not only from famine and social unrest but from the unleashing of hell on earth. Demons are possessing people and others are turning to the church for help. But the church is struggling too. A newer belief is trying to take hold and Rome has sent Exorcist Ossian McGregor to investigate. Along the way McGregor sees that evil is trying to take hold, but how can he stop it? That is just a brief summary of what goes on in this book. There is so much more to this than what I've just said. The plot took a little while to get into and it dragged a bit in parts, but for the most part, it was entertaining, deliciously dark and gripping. It is gorey and hard to stomach at times, but it adds to the overall feel of the story. I loved the uniqueness of the plot and devoured the book!! I loved McGregor. He has had a tough time of it and something happened that ended with him in prison and excommunicated from the church, but when the SHTF, he is called upon for his services and sent to France to check out this new church that they hear about. He is tough, brave, kind and just an all round bad ass!! In all, this was a great read. Different than the normal post apocalyptic books, which I liked. While it won't be for everyone, I think anyone who likes a dark and, at times, gruesome read, will enjoy this. Jake Urry was fantastic as always!! He has such a unique and distinctive voice and always reads the story well. He has a wide and varied array of voices that always make it a pleasure to listen to his work. Great post-apocalyptic listen Great story with interesting characters. Fantastic narrator. I received a free review copy of this audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily left this review. A rare book that dose lives up to its disclaimer This book starts with a rather blunt disclaimer about the contents therein promising violence depravity and all sort of interesting tidbits. As the story proper started Jake Urry eased into the book with a voice that after getting used to it I couldn't see anyone else really doing the priest as much justice.

Title: Rubberman's Cage Author: Joseph Picard Narrator: Matthew Mann Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 43 mins Language: English Release date: 01-04-18 Publisher: Joseph Picard Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Dark Fantasy Publisher's Summary: Lenth grew up in a lie. Apparently, there's more than five people in the world. Four brothers live their lives in an enclosed habitat as directed by the silent Rubberman above them. When they disobey, they get shocked. This is normal. It always has been. But when a brother dies, they learn of death. When he is replaced by someone new, they learn they are replaceable. When the ceiling above the ceiling cracks open, Lenth plans a journey beyond the known universe: A third floor. Up. Members Reviews: A cautionary tale In Rubberman's Cage we have the story of Lenth. Now I happen to hate that name for a character. The story explains it was Length but everyone got too lazy to say the g. Okay I guess. It's Picard's dystopian world so he can do what he likes with the names of his characters. Still hate it. Lenth lives in a controlled environment with his three Brothers (Picard's capitalization, not mine), and above them through a grate lives the Rubberman. The Rubberman never speaks. He stomps on the grate to get their attention, and shocks them when they don't do as they are supposed to, or don't follow their routine. They eat, exercise, work, shower, and sleep. That's it. All in their tiny little three room world. But one day when their Rubberman isn't directly overhead, someone peeks his head through the ceiling in the Rubberman's room, above their grate, and Lenth figures out there are more than four people in the world (is the Rubberman a person?) and there is more to the world than just the Brothers' rooms and the Rubberman's rooms. The story goes on as Lenth manages to escape his world and explore the world he never knew existed. With his isolated history he is, in many ways, like a small child. He's never seen a female and doesn't even know they exist. He can't read. He doesn't really know anything. But he's curious and he's eager to learn and explore. Oddly, considering the world around him, he is allowed to. I won't go into much more detail because I don't want to spoil the story for you. I will say the book wasn't what I expected, although I am not sure what I expected. It turned out to be sort of a coming of age story of a grown man, combined a morality tale, and with a cautionary look at what our future could become. I didn't dislike it, but I didn't love it. I'm not even sure if I liked it. But I will say it was interesting and it left me thinking, so all in all, not too shabby. Great read Well this was an interesting find! Purchased it on a whim because it sounded intriguing and I loved it, couldn't put it down. Can't wait for the second book. Interesting and peerless Interesting and peerless, the story is a master craft which the author had put in his imaginations creatively. The story of the four brothers is quite sad, adventurous, fearless and risk based. Everything was exciting, from knowing the entity behind ther prison type cage up to exploring the world behind it. I was so contented with it had though of it for a while after reading. A sort of coming-of-age story. Entertaining and dare I ... A sort of coming-of-age story.

Title: The Seven Subtitle: The Vagrant Trilogy Author: Peter Newman Narrator: Jot Davies Format: Unabridged Length: 15 hrs and 29 mins Language: English Release date: 04-20-17 Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Limited Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 24 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Dark Fantasy Publisher's Summary: Years have passed since the Vagrant journeyed to the Shining City, Vesper in arm and Gamma's sword in hand. Since then the world has changed. Vesper, following the footsteps of her father, journeyed to the breach and closed the tear between worlds, protecting the last of humanity but also trapping the infernal horde and all those that fell to its corruptions - willing or otherwise. In this new age, it is Vesper who leads the charge towards unity and peace, with seemingly nothing standing between the world and a bright new future. That is until eyes open. And The Seven awaken. Critic Reviews: "For fans of classic science-fiction literature, this is a must-read." (SciFi Now) "Come visit this brilliantly imaginative land of winged swords and broken solar cells." (SFX) "An exciting new writer - sharp, compelling and original." (Mark Lawrence) Members Reviews: An Ending Of Things It must be said that in this trilogy, two things have to be readily accepted. The first, is Jot Davies. In The Vagrant, it is likely that the listener will benefit from the 1.15 or even 1.20 speeds to stay involved. Jot is a fantastic Narrator, as is evident from the outset, but the second adjustment one has to initially work for, is the reason for this speed change. Narratives and novels rarely come in the present tense. the Second person point of view takes time to grow accustomed to. Now! The opening of this novel. when the plot takes its first step forward. Is gut wrenching. unexpected, almost uncalled for events take shape, and feature characters we're unsure of. There is pain, and confusion, and uncertainty, and Jot Davies takes us through the now-familiar Peter Newman style once again. Gem is infuriating. Vesper is frustrating. Their daughter is an adorable pain, who is a welcome addition in lieu of the usual goat sidekick. It must be said that to enforce the moods and tensions of the others, she is a driving part of the story. The Vagrant is the ROCK that this story rests on. Amidst the uncertainty, the worry, the flow of doubts that the tale brings, he has become the island in the stream. Certain, sure, willful. He has gone from the silent hero, to the scared father, to the doubtful man; and now he is the perfect protagonist. His actions are pure satisfaction, and his views are understood and unquestioned. Now that his personal development has come far enough, Newman has been able to use him as the moral axis around which our other protagonists can be moved. You root for him. You feel for him. And you judge every other character through his lens. His granddaughter, though a human sidekick, talks as little as his old goat, and yet still they paint a vivid picture of characters such as Gem and Delta, Vesper and the others. The Seven are wondrous to read about. As is their creator. Though one can realise the value of a vague history, it is those very vagaries that leave one with the incessant itch to read more. I would pick up and tear through any novel that hinted at the explanation of the suns, or the breach, or the world before the Seven slept for a millennia. Peter Newman has successfully avoided the pitfalls of world-building, and brought us enough to tease our imaginations, without removing an iota of wonder from our experience. With no questions, what would be left to ponder? The Infernals, like the humans and the Seven, are shown with depth and grace.

Their existence revealed to the world in Of Saints and Shadows, the truth of their divided heritage revealed to themselves in Angel Souls and Devil Hearts, they must now fight the hardest battle of all -- against others of their own kind. The fragile alliance of human and vampire was shattered forever by Hannibal, among the most ancient of Shadows, who turned on them both in their hour of greatest need. Driven by blood, he thirsts for dominion, and humankind to him will always be prey. For those Shadows who walk a different path there is only one choice to be made. Hannibal must be destroyed before he destroys them all. But his followers are many, and those who oppose him are few... Members Reviews: Holds your interest Lot of plot, but a good read. Golden's 3rd battle is a win The third book in the shadow saga ends the original trilogy nicely if not abruptly. I always have mixed feelings when writers introduce major characters late in a series of books to the plot that the main character supposedly has known forever, but Golden made me buy into it this time. The epic battle comes to an end, or does it? The Shadow Saga is made for Hollywood! Golden is a golden writer. This series is one of the most exciting, fresh ideas in vampire mythos I've read in a while. Part fantasy, part horror, all explosive and action-packed, Golden weaves a richly drawn tale full of awesome characters of good and evil. Hollywood really needs to take a good, hard look at this one. Actually, the 4th book following this, is the best. His newest Menagerie Book # 1 is magnificent. Check it out. Recommend Great book Four Stars good condition

Rogan has been many things in his life as an adventurer - a barbarian, a thief, a buccaneer, a rogue, a lover, a reaver, and most recently, a king. Now, this prehistoric bane of wizards and tyrants finds himself without a kingdom, lost in a terrifying new world, and fighting for his life against pirates, zombies, and the demonic entity known as Meeble. And even if he defeats his foes, Rogan must still find a way to return home, regain his throne, save his loved ones, and remind everyone why he's the king of the bastards. Members Reviews: Unabashed Pulp fantasy goodness! I picked this up on a whim, liking the idea that someone wrote an unabashed old school pulp fantasy. I wasn't disappointed! This reads like an old RE Howard Conan book, only one where Conan had his kingdom, tired of the throne and passed his kingdom on to his heir to rule while he want back out and had more adventures. All this takes place in a pre Hyperborea Eath, so some of the countries and places will sound similar. If that sounds intriguing, this is the book for you. While on a fishing trip off one of his old ally states, in a bireme of all things, his ship is attacked by a tentacled horror, Pirates, and then zombies after the ship is destroyed. Before the ship sank, though, Rogan is told by the lead pirate he was sent by Logan's unknown bastard son, and he has conquered his kingdon and imprisoned the rightful king, and are raping and pillaging across his kingdom. They end up on a beach in unfamiliar territoy and discovver a tribe of natives. The native, and a group of Amazons who happen to be staying with the natives, agree to help them get home if they get rid of the evil necromancer and his demon on the top of the local mountain. Well, needs must, so if off to slay the wizard. What follows is a wild trip to the mountain, with the inevetible comingling with the Amazons, with hilarious results.The climb up the mountain is crazy, and the fight after involving magic, strange science and even a dash of time travel is just gonzo fun. This being pulp fiction, you can probably figure out how it ends. It is a lot of fun right through to the end. The characters are all larger than life Conan archetypes. Rogan is big, powerful and an epic warrior, even pushing 60. His nephew and aide is also an epic warrior. The Amazons are all beautiful, even with the one breast missing (traditional Amazons) and great warriors, all while being wildcats in bed. This is certainly not a PC kind of title. Its much more old school, and I think it is an underserved market in the current marketplace. While they may be over the top, they are entertaining. The settings are well thought out and described, and fit the story well. The plot is fast paced, and relies on a lot of action to keep things moving.You just dont see this kind of book written too much anymore, sadly. Doug Greene's narration was solid, keeping the story moving and giving the characters their own voices. Very good effort on his part. If you are into the kind of fantasy RE Howard was writing, this is something you may want to check out. I know I am looking forward to any sequels. awful narrator.

The Lair of the White Worm Audiobook by Bram Stoker

Publications Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 11 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Dark Fantasy Publisher's Summary: When Adam Salton travels to a remote village in England to visit his great uncle, he soon finds himself in the middle of some strange happenings, where someone or something is killing people. Within the dark walls of the Caswell estate, there resides a new heir named Adam, and he has a sinister agenda. Lady Arabella has her sights set on becoming Mrs. Caswell, but there may be more to her than meets the eye. When snakes start coming out of nowhere, Adam buys a mongoose to help rid the property of them. That's when things really take a turn for the worse. The White Worm is a classic, Victorian horror and the last novel Bram Stoker wrote before his death. This audiobook is perfect on a dark stormy night, or for those who like their thrillers with a lot of mystery thrown in. Members Reviews: Mediocre but original - with a very nice audio book version The book itself is fairly original, but somewhat is clumsily written and very much a product of its time. It is nowhere near as engaging as Dracula. However, as I said it gets points for originality, and has not been retold as often as Dracula. What I think made it more worthwhile was the audio book. You can get the Kindle edition for free, then for $1.99 you can add the audiobook version narrated by Oliver Wyman. He's one of the better modern audio book readers I've listened to in the past few years, and does an excellent job with this book. I highly recommend that anyone interested in the book put in the extra $2 to get the decent audio book version and listen to it, either with or without actually reading the Kindle edition. Disjointed and Odd I did not enjoy this book as much as I hoped I would. The story seems to have a very strange, broken pace. Plot points are picked up or hinted at, then dropped with no explanation and are never mentioned again. Some characters who are set up to seem important are suddenly sidelined, leading me to wonder why they were ever built up at all. The book has an interesting premise. An ancient evil hiding in what seems like a picturesque landscape. But it just isn't handled well enough to make a good book. If you are getting this for a young child, be aware that the book does contain some surprisingly violent moments, graphically described. It also uses 19th century racial slurs, so you may have to explain that to the child. I am not saying these things are negatives for the book, as they are part of the original writing and I would not want them censored out. But I just mean that this book is probably not a good choice for a very young reader. I bought this because I love Dracula, and I wanted to read more of ... I bought this because I love Dracula, and I wanted to read more of Stoker's work. Stoker's epistolary style does not translate well to ordinary narrative, however, and his characters come across as shallow and stereotyped. Stoker also falls victim to the racism of his times as well, assuming that the reader's horror of Africans will provide sufficient ambience to make a scene scary. Stoker comes across as an H.P. Lovecraft, but without the macabre imagination. There is really no reason to read this book. Abridged version I read the free Kindle edition of this book. I was shocked at how terrible it was -- the story seemed disjointed and ludicrous (even for a story about a giant white worm that can assume human form).

There is a beautiful woman there, sitting by a window, laughing. There is a curse in her kiss, that takes the most broken of souls. And therein lies the Night Country, whose door opens only in dreams.... Disgraced martial artist Daniel Harper was champion, until a tragic mistake destroyed his life. With nothing but the clothes on his back and a one-way ticket, he flees to Eastern Europe, where he can start over and be someone else. But in the lantern-lit crevices of a nameless City, Daniel meets two people who will irreversibly change the course of his future: the mysterious illusionist and pickup artist, Ink; and the flower girl, Kashka, who is far more powerful than she appears. As Daniel plummets into a downward spiral of hedonism and dereliction, he begins having visions of a fallen world every night when he shuts his eyes, a Night Country where an evil tyrant has stolen the sun, where corpses walk the frozen earth with golden lights in their eyes, and humanity's last remnant must eke out a cruel existence deep underground. It is in this nightmarish otherworld that Daniel realizes his newfound ability is anything but an accident.... Will Daniel kill the Crippled King? Or will he give in to the demons inside him and become the villain? Members Reviews: I was completely absorbed by the story After accidentally killing his girlfriend on an accident and spending two years in limbo, Daniel finally decides to break from everything and have a fresh start on the other side of the world. Accepting a job as a translator, he moves to an Eastern European country, where he will catch a mysterious disease which will transport him to another world. It took me a while to get into this book and follow the three different story lines: first, we have Daniel's story in Country; second is the story line happening in the Night Country; and last, the story in the poem Daniel has to translate. We get excerpts from the poem at the beginning of chapters, and there is a duality shared with the story in the Night Country. As soon as I got a grasp about the structure of the book I couldn't stop listening. The story is set in an European Eastern country, called Country in the book, and the city is simply the City. The city is referred to as the City of Churches, which made me think of Vilnius (Lithuania), Krakow, or Przemysl (Poland). But other references and the use of crowns made me think of the Czech Republic. The fact that everybody drinks vodka made me think of Lithuania and Poland. I know Vine took the liberty of just using Country as a name to avoid being tied to a specific geography, but I enjoyed guessing where this could be set. I was completely absorbed by the story. I think Vine did a good job in building up the intrigue about the Night Country, and I found the characters there interesting. I had issues trying to like Kashka, and I am still puzzled about Ink. I wondered why Daniel insisted on meeting with them both since they didn't offer much to him. I guess their role is more about the Night Country, and there will be more about them in the next book. The story about the Night Country amazed me, and the details we learned just had me wanting to know more. I hope my questions will be answered in the next book. Despite the fact that some of the characters were not very likable, I think the characters were very developed in general, especially Daniel.

It is 1164, and for a hundred years England has been ruled by the Normans. A young Saxon boy named Durwin, crippled by a childhood accident, had caught the eye of a Norman sage teaching at a rural school of magic. Realizing that the boy had promise, Durwin was made stable boy, and eventually allowed to attend classes. Now twenty, Durwin is proficient enough that he is assigned to teach, but the other sages refuse to promote him and he is hassled by the Norman juniors for his disability. But those troubles turn out to be the least of his worries when he manages to corrects errors in an ancient corrupted spell, which promptly prophesies murder. Sure enough, word soon reaches the school that one of the local count's house sage has died, perhaps slain by black magic. Durwin is whisked away to the family's castle, only to find that one death was only the beginning. The young sage quickly learns of a dizzying plot to assassinate King Henry. Dropped into the middle of the complex politics of England's royal courts, can Durwin stop them in time? Members Reviews: Have hopefully a new series by Dave Duncan Everything about this audiobook was exceptional. Dave Duncan is a master of great stories with humourous witty characters every historical fantasy writer should aspire to create. Tim Campbell's performance takes this story from great to audible excellence. I would have gladly given 3 credits to match the value of this audiobook.

Those infected are unable to control their hunger, crazed and insatiable no matter how much blood they consume. The timing couldn't be worse, with a rival Balaj in town for a feast - a rival that would be happy to take advantage of the situation and wrestle control of the Baltimore territory from Dario and his family. As the Baltimore's Templar, Aria must find out who - or what - is responsible and stop them, before the entire city is at death's door, all while prepping for the Halloween ritual to rid herself of a demon's mark on both her skin and her soul. Members Reviews: I love this series especially this book in it. Man i can't wait till the next book comes out!!!!!!!! impossible to put down. spent this weekend binging the entire series up until this book. I don't regret a single moment. including the raunchy moments when I was in the supermarket. Series is getting better and better Brief synopsis: Aria's town is attacked by a plague demon which fills hospitals and ERs with desperately sick people. On top of this, there's a sickness that affects vampires as well as humans, and the death toll rises. As usual, Aria has to juggle several balls, a couple of chainsaws, invading vampires from another territory, and a mage, all the while trying to find ways that don't involve lopping off someone's head with Trusty, her Templar sword. This book gets positively steamy in places - Aria gives in to the wild attraction to Dario, her favourite vampire. It's probably a bit clichéd, but it's great that the love interests don't spend the entire series dancing around each other. This way, we will see how on earth Aria's going to square the circle of accepting the basic nature of vampires. It's a fun book and the narration is great. Can't wait for the next in the series!

The people love her. The royalty tolerates her. She has everything - an army, allies, and a close circle of chosen family. They believe she will end the war, and they shouldn't. She's as scared as they are. She just can't show it. The war she accidentally started ends with a final battle that will either save or enslave her people. She will do anything to win - until she learns the cost of victory. Braeden Drakonin is afraid of what he'll become when he takes over his father's kingdom - that much authority can change a man. But his father has already tried to kill him more than once, and it's time to end his reign. Braeden's armies are ready. His strategy is foolproof. His generals are waiting for the order to attack. It's only in the final seconds before the battle begins that he realizes he missed one crucial detail - the traitor. Members Reviews: Well Read I have thoroughly enjoyed this series with Kara Kovacich Stewart's narration, and this final book was no exception. However, the story itself was not as well-written as the previous three. I still enjoyed the story and was satisfied with its ending, none-the-less. If you've read the rest of the series, do not miss out on its conclusion. Great Performance I listen to a lot of audio books. All I have to say is Kara is a fantastic actor. A book I normally wouldn't read, I now enjoy thoroughly! Kara brings the story to life. So love this series. What a dramatic book This audio was well done and was easy to follow. I read the other books in this series and wasn't able to get to read this one. I was so excited to get the audio! I highly recommend this book and series to anyone. a satisfying conclusion Any additional comments? The first hour of this book should have been cut. It was soooooooooo slow. Granted, I had a pretty big gap between reading books 3 & 4... but had I not committed to reviewing this book I would have never gotten past the first chapter. The book begins with a "war game." I needed something to pull me back into the story, and I simply could not have cared less about the strengths and weaknesses of their army. At some point, however, the story did pick up. There were some great lines from that even made me pause the audio to think. I would have liked to have spent more time with some of the Isen and gotten to know the other vagabonds more closely (in part because Kara's never been my favorite), but, in the end, the story felt complete and I don't regret taking the time to finish this saga. The narration continued to be good. It felt like there was less differentiation between some of the non-accented main male characters this time around (there's a lot of characters!) -- but overall the narration made this an easy listen. Awesome This, the last few grains of sand in the hour glass of time for Kara and Braeden, and the lands they love as the war comes to a end, but will they win and get more time or lose and everyone runs out of time? Kara will do anything to win and give her land the time to heal and that scares Braeden to death, because despite his feelings it is not a luxury he can afford for her.

He keeps his magic clean and free of soul-corrupting Netherwork, thus avoiding both the karmic blow-back of his practice and the notice of the Presidium, a powerful cabal of practitioners that polices the esoteric arts in America. However, when an unscrupulous Netherworker interferes with both his business and his personal life, Dorian's disarming charisma and hermetic savvy may not be enough to keep his soul out of jeopardy. His rival, a soul monger named Neil Osterhaus, wouldn't be such a problem were it not for Carmen, Dorian's captivating ex-lover. After two years' absence Carmen arrives at Dorian's doorstep with a problem: she sold her soul to Osterhaus, and has only two weeks to buy it back. Hoping to win back Carmen's affections, Dorian must find a replacement soul without tainting his own. As Dorian descends into the shadows of Baltimore's underworld, he must decide how low he is willing to stoop in order to save Carmen from eternal damnation...with the Presidium watching, waiting for him to cross the line. Members Reviews: A great idea that makes for a compelling novel What if you could hire someone to help you get ahead in your business or get even with an unfaithful lover? What if that person used some potions, spells and a bit of magic? Dorian Lake sells hexes to help people with their various problems, and hes quite good at it. He has always vowed to avoid the dark arts, instead pulling on a persons own karmic propensities for success or love, just magnifying what is already there. There are few negative consequences to these simple charms. Dorians enigmatic teacher had warned him of the dangers of netherwork, the dark arts, which scared him so thoroughly, he wont even open the rare volumes of spells locked in its dark cage. When his ex-girlfriend begs him for help in getting her soul back from an unscrupulous netherworker, he must face his fears or watch her face certain damnation. Dorian Lake is a complicated man, both charming and haunted. He cant remember so many things in his life, almost like he lost two years. Hes descended into depression and drink and the results are not helping him at all. He moves through life in a fog even when he is forced to get back to work to help his former lover, and that work is going to get him into a lot of trouble. The Curse Merchant is a thoroughly entertaining story, both realistic and magical. Political figures and businessmen use hex workers to further their careers. Some have even sold their souls to the get very special gifts that come with it. J.P. Sloan has created a completely normal world with magic in the background, sort of like buying a special tip for a winning stock or buying a charm to make one more attractive to the opposite sex. Its just there, available to anyone who will pay for it, but little discussed openly. It is an interesting premise that works well in the world he has created. The story is performed by Neil Hellegers. His slow dark delivery is haunting in its delivery. He is one of those distinctive performers who seems to have been born to read horror and the occult. He adds so much to the story, it is difficult to separate him from it. A dark mood permeates the tale and Dorians depression.

Sloan Narrator: Neil Hellegers Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 23 mins Language: English Release date: 06-20-17 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Dark Fantasy Publisher's Summary: A regular life isn't in the cards for Dorian Lake, but with his charm-crafting business invigorated and the prospect of a serious relationship within his grasp, life is closer to normal than Dorian could ever expect. In the heat of the Baltimore mayoral campaign, Dorian has managed to balance his arrangements with Deputy Mayor Julian Bright with his search to find his lost soul. Dorian soon learns of a Netherworker, the head of a dangerous West Coast cabal, who might be able to find and return his soul. The price? Just one curse. Sounds easy...but nothing ever is for Dorian. A dark presence arrives in the city, hell-bent on finding Dorian's soul first. Innocents are caught in the crossfire, and Dorian finds it harder to keep his commitments to Bright. When the fight gets personal and the entity hits too close to home, Dorian must rely on those he trusts the least to save the ones he loves. As he tests the limits of his hermetic skills to defeat this new enemy, will Dorian lose his one chance to avoid damnation? Members Reviews: Deftly executed urban fantasy Sloan takes the reader deeper into a urban fantasy that feels fully three-dimensional. The fantastic elements all stand firm on an underpinning of background that allow easy suspension of disbelief. He portrays the magic, demons, mysticism, rituals, cliques and cabals in as 'realistic' a way as one could. Not being much of a scholar of the occult myself, I can't say if he's crafted a thoroughly believable fantasy or done an enormous amount of research into actual spiritualism, but whatever it is--it worked. I slipped with ease into the story, glued to the book while metaphorically biting my nails while I hoped Dorian found a way to save the young girl's soul. I read the first book in this series some time ago, but the world is rich and detailed enough to where I picked right back up where I left off. Sloan adds enough reminders of previous events without overburdening with flashback. Dorian is a character reminiscent of House MD, a bit of an ass, an egoist (to a fault), but on the inside he's looking for the most 'right' thing to do. If I had to say anything bad about this story (trying not to express this thought with too much of a spoiler) Dorian makes a decision regarding his soul which feels a bit repetitious with what happened in the first book. I am looking forward to the third in the series. Another brilliant book by Mr. Sloan Once more Mr. Sloan has created a page turning story filled with characters who are not only believable, they are people you grow to care about, or as the case may be - characters you grow to dislike with the same intensity. The person the story revolves around, Dorian Lake, is a curse merchant with a conscience. The author, Mr. Sloan, has crafted a story with many layers. Each turn of the page peels back another tantalizing clue as to who or what type of magical entity Dorian must deal with. The author clearly has - as Dorian says - been in 'the life' and is familiar with magical theory and practice or he has done a considerable amount of homework to familiarize himself with hermetic and esoteric schools of thought. He writes about magical practise with genuine believability.

Title: The Island Subtitle: Complete Collection Author: Michael Stark Narrator: Robert Martinez Format: Unabridged Length: 17 hrs and 53 mins Language: English Release date: 03-13-17 Publisher: Michael R. Stark Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 8 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Dark Fantasy Publisher's Summary: The Fever struck hard and fast, rising out of the slums and claiming victim after victim. At first, reports trickled across the wire in small segments relegated to the final seconds of the broadcast news. Lost among stories of failing economies and political bickering, few noticed what proved to be the birth pangs of a monster. Within months, the disease dominated the news as thousands died and infection rates soared. William Hill knew his chances of avoiding the virus sat squarely between slim and none. With experts predicting a global pandemic, his choices boiled down to not if, but where he would die. While the rest of the world built barricades and set up distribution points for food, he chose a simpler end. The island had been one of the last and best times with his father. He couldn't think of a better place to spend his final days. He wanted sun and sand, fresh fish on the grill and cool nights by the campfire. He wanted feel-good days filled with oldies on the radio, days when he could hoist the sails and run before the wind. He didn't set out to make enemies, but he did. He didn't plan on becoming humanity's last hope for survival, or watching over an old woman and an eerie little boy either. To William Hill, the island seemed as good a place as any to die. He just didn't realize how good. Members Reviews: Great combination of fantasy and reality One of the best series I've ever read! Great combination of future and fantasy and reality. Worth reading a second time. WOrth your time to read Can't wait for more or this adventure. Very well written. Loved it ! This is one of the best books I have read in quite a while! If you enjoyed The Stand, by Stephen King, you will love The Island. I particularly enjoyed the fact that it is set on Portsmouth Island in N.C. since I live in South Carolina and fish on Portsmouth Island frequently. but have embraced the post-apocalyptic/fantasy mix and enjoyed this book The first series is too short to read book by book, the entire collection makes a much cleaner experience. I wasn't sure what to expect at first, but have embraced the post-apocalyptic/fantasy mix and enjoyed this book. Ready for the second one to come out! Wondeerful Can't wat to read the Rock books which really a continuation of this story. Love all the characters so need to know where they end up. Great read especially if you like Game of Thrones or The Stand.

Two Heads, Two Spikes Audiobook by Jason Paul Rice

Title: Two Heads, Two Spikes Subtitle: The Pearl of Wisdom Saga, Book 1 Author: Jason Paul Rice Narrator: Evie Cameron Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 3 mins Language: English Release date: 03-27-17 Publisher: Jason Rice Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 12 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Dark Fantasy Publisher's Summary: Knights. Queens. Chaos. Could you defy a king's command to protect your only daughter? With intense hatred brewing among the ruling families, Duke Jon Colbert has a choice to make. Will the indomitable duke bend a stiff knee and obey the king or risk treason to be the first man in many years to defy his king openly? In a land where the lines between good and evil can be both clear and blurred, motives for revenge become entangled in a world of intrigue, deception, and drama. Separate storylines converge to weave a vivid literary tapestry of interesting characters with questionable intentions. Two Heads, Two Spikes is the first volume in Jason Paul Rice's Pearl of Wisdom Saga. If you love George RR Martin, Joe Abercrombie, and Robin Hobb, you'll enjoy a series that combines their tradition with a multiple point of view epic fantasy set in the medieval period. Pick up Two Heads, Two Spikes and embark on an adventure filled with darkness, forbidden romance, family struggles, suspense, action, and strong female characters amid overtones of classic fantasy. Members Reviews: Epic Fantasy That Sadly Misses The Mark. I received this book through Audio Book Boom in exchange for an honest review. The need to write a review was the only reason I finished this book. There is nothing terribly wrong about this book to make me hate it. There just wasnt anything compelling about it either. The beginning for me was the worst. I do concede that it gets better, but never enough so that I actually wanted to continue reading it. I like epic sized books set in a medieval type of time period with sword, sorcery and palace intrigue a la Game of Thrones and Codex Alera or any number of others. Although Game of Thrones, and Codex Alera are from two big name authors, I dont actually require that my epic fantasy comes from a big name author. If its good, its good. This book just wasn't that good. As far as I'm concerned, Two Heads, Two Spikes had too many unnecessary and uninteresting story threads that the book could have done without. I guarantee if they were removed, not only would they not have been missed by anyone, but the story that remained would have become much more compelling and focused. Two Heads, Two Spikes: The Pearl Of Wisdom Saga, Book 1, just didnt do it for me. It was a struggle to get through and I dont have any intention of reading book two. I know Im in the minority on this one compared to the reviews on Amazon, but, for what its worth, I stand by my opinion. Interesting, busy, well narrated I thought the story was a little hard to follow in the beginning, if you're not paying full attention you may get lost as I did. Once I figured out what the writer was doing it became much more interesting. There are a lot of characters and a few with similar names so be careful not to mix them up. As far as name go, I thought the really bad guy names(I'd say it but I don't want to give anything away) was lacking in creativity as well as the name of their island. It rather reminded me of a Saturday morning cartoon character. Overall it was a very interesting book, with lots of twists and turns and a very high cliff to hang from at the end. The narrator was excellent, very well spoken and clearly understood.

Good riddance to bad blood, right? Only, weren't no Happy Ever After in store for any of us. When my errant aunt and uncle turned up dead on Cemetery Hill, was Fame what was arrested for the crime, and me he turned to for help, on account of the long-standing blood feud between him and the sheriff. I weren't one for keeping my nose outta trouble nohow, but once I started poking around, trouble weren't the only problem I found. Members Reviews: It keeps getting better and better... I have enjoyed this series and every book keeps getting even more interesting. I really enjoy the main character. She is so brave and stubborn. Her romance with Riley keeps developing slowly and she still has a hard time trusting their relationship. Narration is outstanding and brings all the characters to life. There is a lot of family drama going on in this book. Sunshine has a hard time accepting help and wants to do everything by herself. Riley is so patient and loving! Sunshine is one lucky girl! There are a lot of unanswered questions in this book that Im hoping will be explained in the next book. I wonder what is the thing she has been keeping in a cage called... I enjoyed this book and Im looking forward to the next one. "I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review." An Awesome Listen I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request, and have voluntarily left this review. This series just keeps getting better. Sunshine is such a refreshing character and the plot is based on normal situation, but the circumstance is far from normal. All the characters in this series are very well written and developed that you find yourself cheering some and booing others. Book 3 ended to quickly and I'm looking forward to book 4. still enjoying the series I think maybe this series is just getting better, though it's getting to the point that reviewing each individual book becomes difficult. After all, the voice, characters, world, etc is all the same. I liked it in the past two books and I still like it here. This particular mystery and monster didn't seem quite as important as some of the past ones, maybe because it's a middle book. I'm still finding Sunshines resistance to her relationship with Riley a bit too much to believe. But I appreciate that the reader sees Riley's frustration with this. All in all, I'm still all in for Sunshine Walkingstick and look forward to future books and I'm still enjoying Winder's rendition of the books too. I really love this series! This book could probably be read as a standalone but it has huge spoilers for the first two books, so if you plan to read the series you should do so in order. This book picks up right where The Deep Wood left off and it has more action than book 2 did, in fact I'm starting to wonder if Sunshine is capable of remaining uninjured for long. Sunshine as a character is really compelling, I think it's her attitude towards protecting people 'if not me, then who?' Her generosity of spirit is something to be admired and she's delightfully down to earth.

Maya must get through just one more selection, and then she can marry the man of her dreams. She should have been safe, but when a young woman who was supposed to compete dies the day of the selection, Maya is forced into the competition. Thrown into the fight of her life with no preparation, Maya must shed her innocence, and win Lord Toric's favor. And there is only one winner in the competition. The losers will be sacrificed. Will she survive the first round, or will she pay the ultimate price for her inexperience? Members Reviews: This selection is a life changer I didn't know what to expect when I first started to read this book. I figured it would be similar to the YA series The Selection with a dash of Hunger Games with a sci-fi setting but it's it own league. Maya starts out with dreams of starting a life once the selection that happens twice a year is over. She has nothing to fear as she won't be picked because another girl has been offered instead. When the pre selected girl has been found dead and Maya is chosen as one of the representative for her clan. This is the only the start of the book and it gets even more interesting once she arrives on the other planet. Great start to a new series and going to read the next book right away. Amazing and different. This book had my complete full attention!! I delayed sleep, restroom needs, and barely ate. Just to keep reading this magnificent other worldly story. My eyes were just glued to it!! I'm definitely buying the next book to the series. This series reminds me of other books I've previously read. But, yet it's so different. I was truly heartbroken at the last page of this book. I wanted to just keep on reading! Well, I rated this book 5 stars for the wonderful story. I rate a book on how how many emotions it makes me experience throughout reading the book. I was in a big box of emotions. Definitely pissed. I wonder what will happen!! This book is subtle and HOT at the same time. I am hooked in this series. Lord Toric is such a mystery even at the end of the book. The passion between Toric and Maya vibrates and pulses off the pages. Looking forward to book two. Exciting Loved this book. The whole book brought on a challenge vibe. Loved Lord Torin and Maya. They seem to have a deep draw to each other. They belong together. It is very much like hunger games This series has me intrigued. It is very much like hunger games. The story, right around the halfway mark started getting boring, but right at the end it got my interest again so I will read the second one

One: The only thing that remains the same is Change. Two: The illogical becomes quite logical if devoured by chaos. And three: The only difference between a Borrower and a Vampire is hope. When Gabrian Shadwell's perfect life starts to fall apart, she begins to realize how fragile the foundations of her world are. Dragged to a treacherous, magical world that she knows nothing about, Gabrian discovers she is part of an ancient inheritance that has ruled over the immortal world for an eternity. In this new enchanting yet lethal realm crawling with borrowers, mages, and shadow-walking beings she loses her faith in the people who are supposed to protect her. They leave her vulnerable to an evil eager to sway her heart and her moral conviction. Now Gabrian must decide who she truly is, rise above the lure of the forbidden or become one of the Covenant of Shadows' hunted. Members Reviews: Incredibly Descriptive And Totally Absorbing From One Scene To The Next! What would you do if everything you knew about yourselfâincluding the fact that you are humanâwasnât really the truth? Worse, how would you feel if, just by accident, a group of innocent people was nearly slaughtered because you didnât know that you were â special? Thatâs the premise behind Author Kade Cookâs absorbing paranormal thriller, âGrey (The Covenant of Shadows Book 1)â, and itâs a premise that is beautifully executed by her main character, Gabrian. You can almost tell from the beginning of âGreyâ that things are probably not going to bode well for poor Gabrian as she begins to experience strange visions and demonstrates uncontrolled abilities that are well beyond all logic and reasonâat least for an everyday normal human being. But Gabrian isnât your normal everyday humanâat least thatâs what everyone around her is suddenly trying to convey to this straight-thinking, conservative psychologist with the practical and analytical mind. What Gabrian learns about her true identity, however, not only causes her to react blindly â The whole proposition absolutely scares her to death. Incredibly descriptive and totally absorbing from one scene to the next, Cookâs âGreyâ provides an intriguing look into what it would be like for a normal young woman toâsuddenly and without warningâmanifest strange powers, causing a horrific incident that begs she be placed under severe restrictions andâat all timesâcontrolled. Readers will feel a great deal of empathy for Gabrian as she tries to accept her newfound identity and piece together the puzzle of her own twisted pastâwhich seems quite foreign and unacceptable to her. As we walk her road, we feel her horror, her loneliness, her abandonment, her revulsion, her grief, and her pain. And as Cook adeptly guides the reader through the mind and heart of her protagonist, she opens Gabrianâs eyes to an alternative world, forcing her to deal with a multitude of issues resulting from her mysterious past, and leading her to the discovery of her true self â whether she likes it or not. Over and over again, the reader sinks and soars as Gabrian wavers in her acceptance of what she is told to believe and what truth she learns about her past.

I received a kindle as a gift for christmas/birthday because I have always loved to read and because I started traveling more and more. I love the amazon kindle that I have. I had an app on my old smart phone because I always wanted to read. While traveling, having my kindle helps kill time during waiting periods, especially during lay overs. I have had some lay overs lasting over 10 hours. Having a plethora of Amazon kindle books to choice from is fun when I get ready for a trip. I selected this book in the middle of a binge purchase and I am glad I did! I enjoy sinking my teeth into a quick read of all types of genres and being able to just stick my head into a different world allows me to escape from the world and any current stress. I love both fiction and non-fiction, allow the world of fiction reads allow you explore a new place without having to go far. I can read through a 300 page book in two days, I love connecting with a story and a character. There is a great joy from completing a good book. I can read while listening to music or even watching tv. I really do not like when someone interrupts me when I read, I can get so engrossed that I do not want to pull out and entertain conversation. The worse is when people want to talk about the book you are trying to read. If you wanted to have a conversation, you would not be reading. I do not understand why people think it is find to just randomly start conversations that are not needed. I have found that the kindle fad has started to dwindle, but it is a great innovation that I am happy to have because of that access to millions of titles and I look forward to downloading more as I plan more travels and can travel to new worlds in my head before traveling to new lands. Can't get enough of this series/characters!! Action and ... Can't get enough of this series/characters!! Action and mayhem are crammed down into your literary gullet,and the characters and plot are top notch! MORE DARKSLAYER PLEASE! Five stars awesome book I give these books 5 stars. The fantasy story that Craig holleran has going is just simply amazing. I still haven't read the sixth book yet currently just finished number five. So far Carlotta people have been captured and or died.

Only the Darkslayer's death will do! After tasting defeat at the hands of the mythic Darkslayer, the underling Lords Catten and Verbard are determined to once and for all eliminate this thorn in their side. But they'll have to wait their turn.... After a brutal trip through the Outlands, the brash warrior Venir a.k.a. the Darkslayer - returns to the City of Bone. He quickly has his hands full looking out for his young friends Lefty and Georgio, while also trying to score some easy coin with his old ally Melegal the thief. Along the way, Venir faces threats from the Royal Houses of Bone, man-urchins, shadow sentries, and two dark figures that he'd left for dead once before. Finally, though, Venir leaves Bone behind, only to run into Jarla, Queen of the Brigands - an old flame who wants him dead. And soon after that, the real horror begins, as Catten and Verbard emerge and unleash their worst in the hopes of finally killing the Darkslayer. The mighty Venir soon finds himself in a fight that might just be more than even the Darkslayer can handle. Members Reviews: Epic Storytelling Every time I log on to audible I can't but look up Craig Halloran too see if he's made available any more Darkslayer books. Enough said.. do yourself a favor and use that 1 credit on this book. Darkslayer, the Epic Adventure This book is Mr. Halloran's second book in the Dark Slayer series, and if you are anything like me, you will be very anxious about the arrival of his next audiobook in this series. This series is a little different from Halloran's other books, being that it is clear that this book is his passion when he writes. The other books are all good, but this one he excels at. It is clear that he has a lot of fun writing the Dark Slayer books. This book is a little darker than his other work, and I would definitely advise it to a little bit of an older audience, though young adults should be fine. The narrator still is a little grating, but he does grow on you!

Midsummer used to be a day of feasts and bonfires. A day when cares were set aside for the joy of grass between our toes, warm hands in our palms, laughter in our hearts. Our celebrations dimmed with the light. Something upset the balance of our woods. Something so deep that even our bonfires can't lure the sun back. And he has something to do with it. Of that we're sure, which is why I'm being given to him. K. M. Rice is a national award-winning screenwriter and author who has worked for both Magic Leap and Weta Workshop. Her first novel, Darkling, is a young adult dark fantasy that now has a companion novel titled The Watcher. Her upcoming Afterworld series is set to debut with the first book, Ophelia. Over the years, her love of storytelling has led to producing and geeking out in various webshows and short films. When not writing or filming, she can be found hiking in the woods, baking, running and enjoying the company of the many animals on her family ranch in the Santa Cruz Mountains of California. Members Reviews: A Fabulous Work!! K.M. Rice weaves a thrilling dark fantastical story, bringing to mind the gothic and mysterious folklore feel of 'Uprooted', alongside the creeping atmospheric chills of 'The Woman In Black', and the heart-rending anguish of 'Wintersong'. As thematically dense as its forest setting, this is a tale we step into and experience as the viewpoint character, a fascinating heroine; gifted, flawed, determined, vulnerable. I firmly connected with her, bearing the emotion of her struggle and its outcome. Love, passion, fear and suffering are fuels for the story, which is an immersive mystery of many layers, brought wonderfully to life through Gail Shalan's perfect voice. It's a must listen title. With great poetry and descriptive power, author and narrator take the familiar haunted house genre and accomplish with it something vividly unique which captivates.

When Shade has Dylan by her side, she meets another man who . . . but it isn't always as easy as it looks ;) Will she be with Dylan or Arthas before their worlds are destroyed?? Enjoy!! ;) Love this series!!!! Shade is really becoming a Faerie Queen. In this book she begins to realize just how powerful she is. The bond between Dylan and Shade is explored more in this book. You get to see them truly as a couple and its sweet. Don't worry there is lots of action and nail biting also! Those Ancients are up to no good!! What? The tale is finished?? Relationships lost, relationships found, relationships weakened, relationships strengthened - what a wonderful series! And, as at a real life wedding, I had tears in my eyes at the one at the end of this series. Thank you for sharing these wonderful characters with us, Alexia. My all time favorites category has added several new books and one fantastic author to it. I cannot wait until the History of Fire series with Benton finally gets the first book published. I wish I could add it to my wish list right now!! Best of all Best of all 4 books I couldn't put it down till I finished! I was a great finish to shades story and I enjoyed it very much. I'd Recommend this Series to my Grandchildren I have always been a lover of the fantasy genre. When I first ran across Evangeline and Ever Shade for free, I was hooked on this series. Alexia Purdy has created a wonderful series that ties the World of Fae and humans together. Throughout this entire series, each of the characters have grown, made mistakes, and learned from those mistakes. The is also true for the latest book in the series, Ever Wrath. In Ever Wrath, we continue where the last book Ever Winter left off. Shade is still seeking to end the war in the land of Fae that also threatens to destroy the human world. Her quest to find the remaining Ancients continues, but yields unexpected results. Her relationship with Dylan grows while she still has to combat unwanted advances from others. This book, like the previous books in this series, is well written. You laugh, get angry, and cry along with the characters. You feel as if you are a part of their world. If you have not already read any of the books in this series, please do so. You won't be disappointed. The prequel, Evangeline, and the first book, Ever Shade, are currently free. This series is perfect for the YA genre as well as older readers as well. I would highly recommend this series to my grandchildren.

I really enjoyed that it doesn't follow normal popular vampire mythology and swings in its own direction. Marissa had a wonderful voice and her emotion helps make the story spooky. There were times when words were cut off or unclear, but it didn't effect understanding it is just something that bothers me when it happens (even with everyday speech). Creepingly Awesome Great read. Creepy and mysterious and keeps you entranced from start to finish. The narrator did a great job bringing this story to life

It kept me captivated and want to hear what would happen next. The characters came alive right away and I wanted to identify with them. The story itself was a little darker than I expected. I had to pause at those times and listen to music or something else for a bit. Then I wanted to hear what Annella does next so I hit play again. I don't know how R. Paul Matty did all those voices but they all sounded real to me!

When Kallie lands a college interview with the city's new hot-shot police officer, she has no idea everything in her life is about to change. The detective is young, handsome, and seems to have an unnatural ability to stop the increasing local crime rate. Detective Liam's particular interest in Kallie sends her heart and head stumbling over each other. When a raging blood feud between vampires spills into her home, Kallie gets caught in the middle. Torn between love and family loyalty, she must find the courage to fight what she fears the most and possibly risk everything, even if it means dying for those she loves. Members Reviews: Beautiful girl surrounded by vampires! This book was good but I hate cliffhangers. I knew it was going to happen so I am just going to move on to the next book in the series. You see, this book was fun to read and I expect the next one will be too. Courage Runs Scared Thought it was some what a good start to a storyline.Two sexy vamps on opposing sides vying for one woman.Some mystery,who's telling the truth,who's good and who's bad?The narrator on the other hand,needs more practice narrating.I would suggest actually reading this book to make it better.The narrator,knocks off some points on the book. The Blood Feud of Vampires I really enjoyed this story by author W.J. May and its a perfect story. I've been waiting on a different type of vampire story because they all seem to just be all alike. I must say that May has done this. This isn't your typical vampire story. I love W.J. May's imagination and it shows how great her writing is when you red/listen to this story. The characters are all interesting along with the background. She gives you just enough information that you easily understand what's going on. I can't wait for the next story in this series, Night Watch. I am really looking forward to what happens next with Kallie, Liam, and Caleb. It seems that when a wreck happened Kallie's da died and someone turned him into a vampire. It just so happens that Liam and Caleb were both at the scene. There's a huge feud between red and blue eyed vampires. As soon as Kallie's dad sees Liam he wants to kill him and said Liam is the one that made him a vampire. I don't believe that Detective Liam Steel turned him. I definitely recommend you read/ listen to this story. It was filled with intrigue, a great plot, twists and turns, along with a cliffhanger. Narrator Angel Clark's performance was really good. I didn't have any trouble identifying the characters throughout the story. She kept me immersed from start to finish. Overall, a perfect 5 star rating!

Only months have passed since Lox and his crew did the inconceivable - killed the immortal Emperor Nal. Now with his comrade Jolin as the new King, Lox, his Changeling girlfriend Vida, and the rest of his family are living in the very palace where they once fought for their lives. Things are great until the unimaginable happens, and mysterious orbs of energy rain down from the skies. Some are harmless, while others kill instantly. As more people fall victim to the unknown orbs, fear grips the land. The countdown to war is given from a neighboring kingdom, and the newly crowned Jolin finds himself being blamed for each new ill his people suffer. Soon counting himself among the fearful is Lox, whose own brother and sister have become the orbs' latest casualties. Even worse, he is starting to hear voices again, while at the same time being hunted by assassins whose powers far exceed his own. With Vida - and help from an old enemy - Lox travels to lands few have seen. As he discovers more about an ancient power, Lox will have to defeat those who want him dead, uncover long-lost secrets, and even travel to a new world if he wants to save his siblings, and stop the war on Thera before all is lost. Members Reviews: Fantasy Adventure Good storyline, in my opinion, but could do without the gay reference of certain characters. Not recommended for children under 16 worth a try This isn't the usual type of book I listen to but I thought I'd give this one a try because the story sounded interesting. This was action-packed and it kept me listening the whole way through. Sadly, this story wasn't for me but I'm glad I took a chance on this one - it was a unique listening experience for me and I think that dark fantasy lovers will really enjoy this. The narration was very good as well. **I received a copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review** Dark Fantasy I got this ARC via audiobook boom and this is my review. I am not a fan of dark fantasy but for those who are you will enjoy this well-developed story. The characters are fleshed out as well as the world they are living in. The narrator was great for this story and seemed to understand what the author wanted from each character and delivered. It is a good listen but not my style. Wasn't for me. Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? I think people who love reading dark fantasy novels with larger than life characters, they will love this book. It wasn't for me, but I can recommend it to a couple of my friends who are into that kind of books. For me, the story didn't quite interest me after a while. I thought maybe if I try to read the story in kindle, alongside listening to it in Audible, that might help me like the story more. But I didn't find the book in Overdrive. Hence I had to quite it after some time. That doesn't mean the book is bad though. It just wasn't for me. Any additional comments? I received this book for free from the author / narrator / publisher, in exchange for an unbiased review. Great dark fantasy book I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review. This book definitely falls into the dark fantasy category. As someone who enjoys that sort of story, this was pretty good.

But how will they find a man that completely disappeared from Bish without a trace? Back in the City of Bone, Melegal the thief is pushed to the limits under the thumb of the powerful Royal Lord Almen. Tasked with hunting down the Slergs and Almen's lost son, the half-dead warrior Tonio, Melegal quickly discovers being in the serving Castle Almen - despite its many pleasures - is more than he can bear, especially when the creepy cleric Sefron is watching his every move.

Kam the mage has her hands full back in the Magi's Roost as Lefty Lightfoot and the ever-hungry boy Georgio are growing up too quickly. When a simple skim leads them into a run in with the local thieves' guild, all of their lives will never be the same. Will they be able to survive together without the man that brought them together? Members Reviews: Incredible Story & Performance May start a bit slow...but once Venir finds his way back to Bish...The story continues with a few twist and turns to keep the readers on their toes Venir's world is turned upside down...literally! Would you consider the audio edition of The Darkslayer to be better than the print version? Yes and no. I thoroughly enjoy it when I am in transit between home and work each day. And when I am not, I am reading it. But, I very much enjoy listening to the voices because it helps me to remember what each character sounds like when I read the book. Who was your favorite character and why? Oh man, I really can't answer that!! Each one is my favorite character in its own way. But, out of all of them, I would pick between Fogle Boon and Venir because of how the story-line is written with them, and much much more! Besides, I have already read to the end of the series....so FYI....it gets SOOOO AWESOME!!!!!!!! Have you listened to any of Lee Alans other performances before? How does this one compare? Yes! Just as awesome!!!! Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Oh yes, definitely!! Many times I chuckled and laughed! Made listening to it just as much fun! Any additional comments? I can go on and on about this book, but in a nutshell, if you enjoy Lord of The Rings (with a much different twist), Chronicles of Dragon (yep same author...and so good books!!!!), as well as Rise of the Valiant: Kings and Sorcerers, Book 2, then you are in for an real...good...treat!! Hands down awesome author and voice performance by Lee Alan! Craig Halloran does it again! The Dark Slayer series is a personal favorite of mine of Mr. Halloran's work. This book follows the epic adventure of Bish and Venir, while they search for a missing comrade. There are many subplots that add to the fantastic characterization of the main characters and supporting cast. While this book does seem to end rather abruptly, that only adds to my anticipation of the next chapter of these extraordinary heroes and their journey of loyalty and adventure. On the topic of the narrator, Alan Lee has a lot of personality that both adds and takes away from the story. Mr. Alan goes insofar as to do sound effects for things, which is sort of charming, and yet cartoonist at times.

Hendee Narrator: Alyssa Bresnahan Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 58 mins Language: English Release date: 01-03-17 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 10 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Dark Fantasy Publisher's Summary: The New York Times best-selling authors of the Noble Dead saga present a bold new fantasy series set in the same world. In the dark reaches of the eastern continent, Tris Vishal travels from village to village, using his power to put unsettled spirits to rest. He works alone, having learned that letting people close only leads to more death. Still, he finds himself accepting the help of the Mondyalitko woman who saves his life - a woman whose gifts are as much a burden as his own. Mari Kaleja thirsted for vengeance since the night her family was taken from her. She has searched far and wide for the one she thinks responsible, known only as "The Dead's Man". But before she can kill him, she has to be sure. Members Reviews: The Hendees are among my favorite authors. I have enjoyed many of their works The Hendees are among my favorite authors. I have enjoyed many of their works, and this one is no exception. The story has compelling characters, for sure. Although, I do wonder if they could have been capitalized on a bit more. However, if there are ever subsequent novels, I think the fleshing out would come. Overall, I enjoyed the concept of this story. If I am perfectly honest, I think the execution could have been a bit tighter for their skill level as authors, but, again, I believe this was meant to be an 'introductory' book. So, I'm hoping more will follow so I can get to know these characters and their secrets a bit more. A great start to a new series set in a familiar world Though I greatly enjoyed the previous series, the Noble Dead Saga, I was ambivalent over it's conclusion and thus a little hesitant to invest into another series from these authors. But despite that I picked the Dead Seekers and, so far, I have not been disappointed. The cast is all new but the locales are familiar, and while many other worldbuilding details will be recognized by fans, it's great to see the setting expand upon ghosts, an aspect that was only briefly touched on in the Noble Dead. The Hendees as always do an excellent job of creating a living world, especially with their uncommonly detailed focus on language and how it affects people even within a small region. The writing is as suspenseful as ever, the characters are intriguing and their relationship has a slow but believable progression, and big mysteries are presented with answers I expect will be coming in future installments. Definitely a setup to a larger series, but one that had me gripped all the way to the end. I look forward to more and have my fingers crossed for a satisfying conclusion. New Novel Set in the World of the Noble Dead The authors of one of my favorite fantasy series return to the world of The Noble Dead Saga with this first novel in a new series set on the eastern continent where the Saga all began. Mari Kaleja, a young woman from the Romani-like Mondyalitko people witnesses her entire family killed by a flock of ghostly spirits seemingly answering the beck and call of a dark, black silhouette figure in the shape of a young man. From that moment on she is determined to seek this malevolent entity and kill him. Tris Vishal, a young man of noble blood is known as the "Dead's Man" owing to a freak occurrence of his birth that gives him the ability to permanently banish restless souls bent on venting their torment on the innocent living.

Title: Dark Deceit Subtitle: Dark Trilogy Author: Lauren Dawes Narrator: Jeremy Cohen Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 8 mins Language: English Release date: 11-21-17 Publisher: Vixen Publishing Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Dark Fantasy Publisher's Summary: The time of Odin is over. The Aesir gods now live among the humans in their bustling modern cities. Their brutal dominion over the other beings of the Nine Worlds may have ended, but their actions have not been forgotten. Korvain is one of the last full-blooded dark elves, and is feared like no other. His ruthlessness and cold heart are legendary, but when he is given the task of killing one of the most fabled goddesses of all time, he is left with an undeniable desire to make her his own. Failure in his task means only one thing: death. Will he follow his orders, or will he follow his heart? Bryn's whole world crumbled when she left Odin's service to protect the other Valkyries. Now living with the humans, she is the only thing standing between them and total destruction. But her beliefs are about to be shaken to the core when she meets Korvain - a volatile, completely irresistible dark elf who threatens to take away more than just her innocence.... Members Reviews: Flawed Immortality This series must he read in order. This is the first book. Other than the very narrow and cynical view of Loki I really enjoyed this book. The pantheon could have been a bit better researched but all in all this was a good fun read. I will definitely be checking out the next book in hopes that it will be even better! Korvain is probably the last pure blooded Mare still alive. That makes him not only a danger to himself but also to others. Odin feared their powers and ordered them all slaughtered on sight well before the Fall... He is also an Assassin and his newest assignment is to kill Bryn. The catch is he cares for Bryn on sight and quickly falls head over heels in love with her. How will he keep her safe? Will he be able to keep his chosen family safe at the same time? Who wants Bryn dead and why? Bryn was the first mortal tricked into becoming a Valkyrie in Odin's service. Little did she know the true price (or origin) of her immortality. After the Fall she broke with Odin to protect her fellow Valkyries as best she could. All these years later it seems Odin will go to any lengths to get her back by his side (and under his thumb) ... Why is Odin so obsessed with keeping her close? What does he truly want her for? Can she trust Korvain? Who is hunting her sisters? This was a fast paced cross genre romance rooted in the basics of the Norse Mythos. I can't wait to see what happens next inDark Desire: Dark Series 2! ***This series is suitable for adult readers who don't mind poking fun at the Gods or the occasional sex scene New Series I just might become addicted to... Loki banished forever? Dark elves hunted to extinction by Odin and the Valkyries? Now someone wants to kill the Valkyries to get to Odin, but who? With Gods and Goddess living among humans, anyoneâs guess is good as the Valkyries or is it a trick by Odin? I really enjoyed this novel and believe it to be the start of a great series. It definitely left me wanting more, but in a good way. It is obviously paranormal, however the world that Dawes has created is really great and she knows her Norse Gods/Goddess pretty well. The plot is full of mystery and suspense I wish to know more about the other worlds like the one our Heroine, Bryn comes from along with the other Aesir Gods/Goddess. This is definitely a 5 star book. I thought the story-line went along pretty fast. There was so adult romantic scenes, so, mom and dad, you decide.

All he wants is 20 more years to complete his life's work. After that he really doesn't care. But the assistant demon assigned to the case has his suspicions, because the philosopher is Saloninus, the greatest philosopher, yes, but also the greatest liar, trickster, and cheat the world has yet known - the sort of man even the Father of Lies can't trust. He's almost certainly up to something...but what? Members Reviews: Good story, bad reader The reader kept flipping voices making it confusing as to who was talking. He would use the same voice for the devil as he would use for the philosopher and vice versa, so at time I wasn't sure who was talking at all Our Mortality How Will You React This is a great story that's just as good as the Last Witness. Although they have nothing in common expect for being really good can't wait for another. There is 1 word that can discribe what the book is about but that 1 word would spoil the story so I leave to you to make it out what that 1 word is. This is a minor thing but an FYI sometimes the author wrote from different view points of view so paying attention if all of a sudden it becomes confusing a bit. Definitely replay value here. Slight Spoiler Question Kind Of Thing To Think About After You Are Done. 1. One thing though I don't know if you can answer is why this man chose this representative. 2. How did he know his name to ask for him, also on the cover it says father of lies , we all know that Satan has that honor but from the memories of himself we can see he more like a minion of Hell that Satan himself. Mansplain Not a bad book, but it treated women like property. It was clearly written by a man for other men.

Minotaur Audiobook by J.A. Rock

Rock Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 16 mins Language: English Release date: 08-10-17 Publisher: Riptide Publishing Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Dark Fantasy Publisher's Summary: Know this: I am not a warrior. I am a disease. When I was six, my parents died. When I was 16, I was locked away in Rock Point Girls' Home. Nobody wants to deal with a liar. An addict. A thief. Nobody except Alle. She is pure, and she's my friend, in spite of all the rotten things I am. There was once another girl like me - long ago. A cast-off daughter. A lying little beast who left a red stain across the land with her terrible magic. She's imprisoned now in a maze high up on the cliffs. They say she's half woman, half bull. They say she dines on human tributes, and guards a vast treasure. They say she was born wicked. But I know her better than the history books or stories do. She and I dream together. Our destinies are twisted up like vines. Except I'm not going to turn out wicked like she is. I can save myself by destroying her. I'm going to break out of this place, and I'm going to enter the labyrinth and take her heart. And once I'm redeemed, maybe Alle will love me. Members Reviews: Freakish Fantasy With Coming of Age and Romance Macabre, dark, and complex along the twisting path of a story structured much like the labyrinth of legend. It was definitely a right person and mood type of story and I happened to be just such a listener for this unique, introspective tale. Ever have one of those books come along that makes you scratch your head about what to say? Not that it was a bad read/listen, but that it was so far outside the usual and that it crosses so many genre lines that... loss for words. I've got just such a one here. But I will try. First of all, this is YA in age of characters, but not really YA in scope of readership. Secondly, its coming of age and getting past abuse, loss, grief, and anger so it might seem fiction, but then again, there are relationships and romance. Oh and much of the book seems a contemporary setting of a girl's orphanage home, but then there was the labyrinth and the tumble into Wonderland territory mashed with mythology. And that is just the dilemma of what genre it falls in. I'm going with fantasy romance. Secondly, I said it was a coming of age and romance and it is, but this girl has some pretty dark, tortured thoughts and she's not likeable and sort of wears that badge proudly so there are musings of unreliable narration going on for me when it comes to Thera, but really, she's just seeing things through the lens of her own hard experiences. I enjoy that sort of thing at times- getting inside a disturbed person's mind, but I will admit that it made it a slower-paced piece because reflection and not a lot of action take up nearly half the book. I'm still not sure what to make of the last portions. The labyrinth was incredible in its craziness, but for that reason, it was perfectly drawn. The ending was wistful and distant so that I felt I was being pulled back from the intimacy I had felt with the sole narrator, the heroine. This is a coming of age piece and it was more of an exploration into physical intimacy by the two roommates, Thera and Alle. They become intimate, but it is not a lengthy description. Theirs was something almost sweet and a little innocent mixed in with the budding passion.

With nothing left to live for and a death sentence in her womb, Ayla trades her soul to a dark goddess for a chance to break the curse which keeps her people in chains. Armed with only her faith, Ayla leads a revolution against an army of half-beasts led by the immortal son of the Goddess herself. Members Reviews: Three Stars ok Amazing, Fast-paced Dark Fantasy Novel! Minotaurs have enslaved the human race. They are stronger than humans, which allowed for them to easily overtake them. Now, they keep them living on large farms for their own personal gain, and control every aspect of their lives. The most despicable thing is that they cannot reproduce on their own because they are all males, so they must impregnate a human woman in order to continue their line. The women are too weak to survive birthing a minotaur, so the women do everything they can to not become pregnant with one. The minotaurs are allowed to do whatever they want to their slaves, so they often simply take women and rape them to have children. This has been the last straw for the human race as they constantly see their mothers, sisters, wives, and daughters being killed while giving birth to a minotaur, or dying from the abuse of the minotaur masters. Ayla has already seen her mother killed by giving birth to a minotaur, and now that she knows that she faces the same fate, she has nothing left to live for. One time in her sleep, a woman speaks to her and says that she is her mother, and she is a goddess. Ayla trades her soul to this goddess in order to start her journey of breaking the curse of the Minotaur. She an a mixmatched group of humans, including her closest ally and fellow slave girl Deetra, must find a way to defeat the minotaurs themselves, with the help of the Goddess. Along the way, they must battle the unfaithful, the minotaurs, and the Furless or humans who are secretly working with Minotaurs.Â This book was dark, this book was not a fairytale, and if this book was made into a movie it would be considered horror. But as a story itself, I read an amazing dark adventure story. I loved all the characters, especially Ayla. She was a strong survivor of unspeakable horrors, and she never faltered in her faith towards her Mother. This book has LGBT representation as well, something that is often forgotten in the medieval-esque adventure/dystopian stories.Â The story's plot was fast paced, but not to the point where I felt as if I was missing something. Several plot twists occur but it felt quite linear, which I enjoy in a story. Even though it is the first book in a series, I felt satisfied after reading this story, not feeling as if I had to go and run to read the next book because so much had been left unfinished.Â Overall, I loved this book. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for an in depth fantasy story, but who isn't squeamish about a bit of extra goriness or violence.Â No punches are pulled, making this an amazing, enthralling dark tale The other ratings speak of people unable to get past the first chapter, of a villainous main character, and a tale painful to read. I did not find that to be the case. This is a tale of a woman who, knowing only pain and suffering, was given the chance to save others.

In this series Helen, a wise-ass redhead who became a succubus at the end of Succubus Journey must figure out what exactly that entails. Meanwhile a scholar who became a king goes on a war for books while his ogre mentor comes along for the ride. A supervillain assassin challenges a greater demon to a duel and humor and adventure abound. If you like Super Powereds by Drew Hayes, The Waldo Rabbit series, or Good Intentions by Elliot Kay, you will love The Succubus Apprentice. Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction intended for a mature audience. All characters are over 18. Members Reviews: Adventureful fun! This is a fantastically fun extension of the other books that were already written by Amanda Lash. As I had already read all of those the occasional grammar issues didn't bother me, unlike the other reviewer. I was mostly excited to see what twist and turns this episode would take. The witty banter and the descriptive passages made me feel like I was part of the adventure. I can't wait to see what adventures come next. Change can do things unexpected Everyone has a quest, a goal in their lives. Some happen seemingly at random. some are forced upon them. Others get into situations because they are a bit unlucky, or get pulled into them because of a really sexy pair of heels. Whatever the reason, a quest is much better where thereâs someone to share it with. Good or bad, fun or painful, sharing is much better than dealing with it on your own. But then, thatâs what friends are with you for arenât they? One of the things that I enjoyed throughout this series, now collected into a novel, was that among the jokes, the innuendo, the laughter and more, comes moments that are very serious, very important and change the characters along the way. Thereâs a balance between the two and it helps to speed the story along. Not such that one loses comprehension, but rather that the story doesnât feel like itâs dragging along until the next crescendo. The pacing of the action works, the moments of thought and consideration arenât just there for the sake of being so. Thereâs a point to things and thatâs always a good thing because it keeps interest in whatâs happening. The chapters connect to each other, thereâs implications for things the characters do. Itâs not so much a question of them doing good or bad, itâs more the question of why that matters. The characters themselves change from the beginning of the series to the end. Not in a way that makes them completely different, but rather they discover things about themselves, those around them, and try to make the best of things. They adapt, they learn and along the way if some rather shady characters get whatâs coming to them, well thatâs not a bad thing is it? There are a series of plots that close in the work and some that just come into focus. Many of these look back on the prior series of works and that continuity is good to see. That has implications for the characters and telling that story, in time, is amazing to read unfold. Many of these are relationship driven or focused on, some of them pushing the characters to the edge of themselves at times.

Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Dark Fantasy Publisher's Summary: For generations the world of Rahvas has been awash in holy war between its many temples. Priests and priestesses have built towering monsters to destroy one another and prove their deity the One True God. But those temples also made two mistakes. When three little girls came out of the void where Gods are born, they mistake them for humans and let them live. Separated, Rowan, Vervain, and Amaranth have lived out very different lives. One lived as a temple acolyte, another as meat for the creation of progeny, while the third learns the magic of the atheists. As the sisters' power unfolds and they learn the truth of who they are, the temples, and all those that fight for them, will find a new war on their doorstep. Members Reviews: Dark new world and determined heroines Wow. Fans of N.K. Jemison will love this story. Ballantine brings you rich world-building, multi-faceted backgrounds and motivations for both primary and secondary characters, and plot twists like thorny vines you don't see coming until you are already wrapped in their deadly hold. At the edge of the God Void, clerics and pilgrims assemble hoping to welcome new gods, fractured from the once one true god, as they emerge into the world cloaked in human form. When they find three young girls, small and dirty, the doubtful crowd divides the sisters to live very different lives. Rowan is adopted by a cleric who raises her in service to her goddess, training to defeat the armies of the other gods until they can claim to be the one true god. In this struggle the religious factions raise creatures stitched together from humans and animals to be their foot-soldiers. Amaranth is sold to the pits, where the destitute and the followers of defeated gods are sold for spare body parts. She has no memory of life before the pits and has been repeatedly harvested, leaving her with one arm and weakened except for one peculiar talent. Vervain was raised by a heretic cult who prize reason over religion and fights to protect the free peoples from the ravages of theist warfare. When the young women reach adulthood and begin to discover not just who, but what they are, the world will never be the same. This is the first in what is projected to be a four-part series and I can't wait to see what is in store.

Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Dark Fantasy Publisher's Summary: The Crescent Empire teeters on the edge of a revolution, and the Five Daughters of the Moon are the ones to determine its future. Alina, six, fears Gagargi Prataslav and his Great Thinking Machine. The gagargi claims that the machine can predict the future, but at a cost that no one seems to want to know. Merile, 11, cares only for her dogs, but she smells that something is afoul with the gagargi. By chance, she learns that the machine devours human souls for fuel, and yet no one believes her claim. Sibilia, 15, has fallen in love for the first time in her life. She couldn't care less about the unrest spreading through the countryside. Or the rumors about the gagargi and his machine. Elise, 16, follows the captain of her heart to orphanages and workhouses. But soon she realizes that the unhappiness among her people runs much deeper that anyone could have ever predicted. And Celestia, 22, will be the empress one day. Lately she's been drawn to the gagargi. But which one of them was the first to mention the idea of a coup? Members Reviews: Involving fantasy from a Finnish writer As I'm attending the SF Worldcon in Helsinki, I wanted to read some Finnish fantasy and science fiction. Otherwise I wouldn't have chosen to read this book - it seems aimed at young adults. However, I'm glad I did - the author is obviously talented, and I will look out for her future books. It is loosely based on the fate of the Romanov's after the Russian revolution, but with an injection of fantasy elements, and an invented society based on Moon worship. The switches in point of view are nicely handled and the story moves along rapidly and becomes very involving. A Crown Jewel of a Tale A beautifully crafted, well-written tale of sisterhood and revolution. I love the layered effect of the five different points of view. The final third had my eyes glued to the page in an I-can't-go-to-sleep-until-I-know-what-happens kind of way. I love the world building Such a heartbreaking ending! I picked up this story because of its connection to the Romanovs, & the book is definitely a shadow of their story, but it's also wildly original & unique. I love the world building, the character development & especially the fact that the sisters are all very different from one another. The sequel comes out on my birthday & I cannot wait! Amazing This was just amazing. Brings history to life before your very eyes in a magical and also eerie way. There's so much life and personality to the main sisters and it just has so much gorgeous potential. I am so thrilled for the sequel because there is so much ripe promises within these pages.

Title: Black Goat Blues Subtitle: The Mythos War, Book 2 Author: Levi Black Narrator: Allyson Johnson Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 51 mins Language: English Release date: 11-07-17 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Dark Fantasy Publisher's Summary: Levi Black delivers in Black Goat Blues, the Lovecraft-inspired sequel to the dark fantasy Red Right Hand, which Jonathan Maberry calls "A perfect blend of old-school horror and modern storytelling sorcery". In Red Right Hand, Charlie Tristan Moore was thrust into a nightmarish world of lurking Lovecraftian horrors when The Man In Black, a diabolical Elder God, chose her as his unwilling Acolyte. Discovering her own power, Charlie ultimately defied The Man In Black, but at a cost. Now armed with a magic coat made from the skin of a flayed angel, Charlie is out to destroy The Man In Black and save her boyfriend Daniel - and she doesn't care how many bloodthirsty gods and monsters get in her way.... Members Reviews: Just as good as the first book OMG I'm so in love with this series and sad that these books aren't getting the attention they deserve! The only thing that annoyed me was the cliffhanger ending. Other than that, it was a great read. Black Coat Blues Black Goat Blues is the second installment in author Levi Black's The Mythos War series. The story picks up several weeks after the ending of Red Right Hand. Protagonist Charlotte (Charlie) Tristan Moore is hunting the Man in Black (Nyarlathotep, the God of Chaos and Destruction) who made her his acolyte only to have the student defeat the master and walk away with the ability to wish herself any where, a black coat made from fallen angel skin that has hidden pockets of unbelievable useful tools, and a desire for payback for what he did to Daniel Langford. Charlie finds herself with a curious group as allies in her desire to hunt down the Man in Black. There is Javier who Charlie stops from killing someone and ends up jumping place to place with Charlie. Ashtoreth, The Scarlet Harlot, Unholy Ishtar, Concubine of Chaos, and Whore Goddess Galore, and a skin-hound named Winnie who once took off a huge chunk of her ear. The most curious aspect of this story that I actually liked, was, shocked face, Winnie and how once adversaries are now allies. I will say that the name of this book boggles my mind. You see, Charlie wears a black coat that she took from the Man in Black, so why not name the book Black Coat Blues? There is a character named Black Goat, but this character only shows up for barely a chapter or two. It is at this point in the story where betrayal sprouts its wings and Charlie finds herself among a cult who actually hunts Gods down and eats them. Charlie is an interesting character who is coming into her own.Â She acts like a badass, and tries to walk the walk as a badass, but it is her own powers that are truly impressive. The most impressive power is her interdimensional teleportation that she has been using to lead her to the Man in Black.ÂLevi Black, aka James R Tuck can write some strange stories. He is very descriptive and isn't afraid to get his characters blooded and facing life or death challenges almost every page. Curious where Black will go from here since it is apparent Charlie would throw her own life away in order to save Daniel and perhaps Javier's as well. Nonstop creepy Lovecraft action/horror Black Goat Blues is the second book in the Mythos War series by Levi Black. I read this book out of order as a standalone and was immediately drawn into the story and wound up reading it in one sitting.

Title: Black Subtitle: Canto I of the Nephilim Codex Author: Charles Colyott Narrator: MacKenzie Nikol Greenwood Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 33 mins Language: English Release date: 07-19-17 Publisher: Charles Colyott Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Dark Fantasy Publisher's Summary: High school sucks. All the boring classes, petty teachers, and inevitable teen drama. Being a senior makes it all bearable, though. At least, it's supposed to. Unfortunately, Tommy and his friends are about to have a killer year.... All Tommy wanted was a little time to get over his breakup with Alyson. He never asked for a fight with Alyson's bizarro new boyfriend, Eric, but he wasn't about to shy away from it, either. The only problem is that Eric isn't like other boys... The scars that never seem to heal. The black book - cold to the touch - that he keeps hidden in his basement. The unholy rage, seething just below the surface, set to shatter everything he touches, even the boundaries of hell. And now, in the midst of what should have been the best time of their lives, Tommy and his friends must try to prevent Eric from achieving his ultimate goal: the summoning of a mysterious artifact capable of reducing the earth to ash, or raising it to untold glories.... Black is the genre-bending first book in the epic dark fantasy series The Nephilim Codex, blending the teen angst of a John Hughes movie marathon with Hong Kong action sensibilities and the pulse of a classic goth and alternative soundtrack. This new edition contains an exclusive excerpt from Down: Canto II of the Nephilim Codex. Members Reviews: Ancient Chinese secrets The teen aspect of this story may be a turn off to some but do not let it. It is merely part of the vehicle that drives this story. Young love, kung Fu excellence and a dastardly metaphysical bad guy, what more could you ask for? Charles Colyott did a good job on this one. Black: Canto I of the Nephilim Codex is well worth the credit but I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. High adventure and lots of laughs smeared in blood lol If your looking for a great break from all the BS of political and environmental gloom read this book Set in the 1990s it will take you back to a better time filled with great music and good memories Then darkness hits and all hell breaks loose I highly recommend this book get read it or listen to the audio and enjoy

Title: One Step Toward Divinity Subtitle: Divine Knights, Book 1 Author: Jon Michael Narrator: Jon Michael Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 6 mins Language: English Release date: 03-17-17 Publisher: Jon Michael Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Dark Fantasy Publisher's Summary: The world of Densun has become so corrupt that Heaven has chosen an atheist criminal to protect it. Alex Talos believes in little he cannot see, a view reinforced by the abuse that filled all 16 years of his life. But when he is given a chance at personal redemption - one that he hopes will offset his fugitive status - he takes it, despite not believing in the forces responsible for the offer. Alex views his new title, the Holy Protector of Densun, as nothing more than a gateway to better meals and warmer beds, though new companions attempt to teach him a sense of responsibility. Alex stubbornly clings to his views until a threat emerges that challenges everything he knows about reality. Cover art by John Adkins. Members Reviews: First book from a new author What did you love best about One Step Toward Divinity? The interaction between the characters. Who was your favorite character and why? Nick, he's the mysterious stranger who gets the answers. What does Jon Michael bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? His interpretation of the characters is a bit different that what is in my head. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? There is a conversation between Nick and Alex that because of the intonation Jon Michael uses had me almost spitting out my drink. That never happened when I read the print book. Any additional comments? Very impressive effort for a first time narrator/author. I will happily listen to his next book. One crazy ride this book was a darn good read I felt for Alex and how he wanted to feel more powerful to help everyone he could. And I also really enjoy the chemistry of Alex and Nick, just such beautiful story telling Can't wait for the next one With characters that feel real, a world that unfolds beautifully, flaws and all, read in a way that kept me engaged all the way through, I'm gonna have a hard time waiting for the next book to arrive. If there's a flaw with the story, it's that it reveals the intrigue a little too slowly for my tastes, but that only makes it even more powerful when the hints spread throughout the story finally bring their true details to light. And with even more mysteries, just begging to unfold, I eagerly wait to see what more this author brings to us in the future. I couldn't stop listening. Listening to this was easy due to the narrators voice and tone used for each of the characters. Descriptions were precise and Humour was timed perfectly that I laughed more times then I could count. Highly recommended for lovers of Fantasy, Comedy and a narrator who's easy to listen to. 10/10 would definitely listen to again.

What does she know of nobility or war? Not one to back down, she must confront the harsh realities of life outside the central core, a legion of unstoppable warriors and the ghosts of her own past. Members Reviews: I really loved this story I really loved this story. It had action, magic, intrigue, redemption and a little romance. I know some people may turned off by the transgender role of the protagonist but I felt that the author and had made such a good story that it was irrelevant or I have become much more tolerant of the transgender community. To me this is how you take risks that pay off in writing. I commend you for taking the risk in writing a novel illustrates the struggles the transgender community faces but does not through it in the straight or uptight readers faces. I may not have explained what I have felt about this novel after reading it clearly but it certainly moved me. More Please! Absolutely fascinating read. I'd like to know when the next chronicle is due out. The world building was interesting and the character of the protagonist even more so. More please! Five Stars Awesome me read! This is really good stuff ! Such a good read! Very well done in so many different ways! The lushness and complexity reminded me of Lord Valentine's Castle. I'm off to read more of her stuff! very good...but short This was a pleasant read, and the author knows how to draw you into a story. My only complaint is a common one these days - it's too short and leaves you hanging, waiting for Part 2. But this we can easily blame on Amazon's business model - they pay the same for short or long. I look forward to reading more from this author.

The locals of Edda's Meadow, if they suspect it of her, say nary a word - Gideon has been good to them, and it's always better to keep on her good side. Just in case. When a foolish young shape-shifter goes against the wishes of her pack and gets herself very publicly caught, the authorities find it impossible to deny the existence of the supernatural in their midst any longer; Gideon and her like are captured, bound for torture and a fiery end. Should Gideon give up her sisters in return for a quick death? Or can she turn the situation to her advantage? Members Reviews: Absolute Perfection Feminist witch fiction with a satisfying ending. Slatter does a miraculous job writing about violence in non-triggering, non-salacious ways. Gorgeous and masterful. Marisa Calin's narration is flawless, though her voice cast the protagonist/narrator as much younger than described, so that occasionally brought me out of the story. Totally worth it, though- she's an incredible narrator and lovely to listen to.

End Times at Ridgemont High Audiobook by Ian Welke

Keefer Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 10 mins Language: English Release date: 09-23-16 Publisher: Ian Welke Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Dark Fantasy Publisher's Summary: Something is wrong in Ridgemont. Evelyn MacIntire senses it. June 2017 will bring an end to more than the school year. Parents and teachers have told her and her friends they have their whole lives ahead of them. After high school they can be anything they want to be. They've been told that they are special and unique. Turns out their "whole lives" might not last past the end of the school year. Reality is shifting. The powerful and wealthy in Ridgemont have more than money to play with. The Ridgemont Chamber of Commerce has their own end game. And for Evelyn and her friends, what should be a coming of age teen comedy is about to descend into madness and terror. Members Reviews: Fun and suspenseful. I read this a while back and keep thinking about it. Things happen in subtle and then sweeping waves. The major issues facing our characters are right there in their faces, but they don't see it. When it's all finally revealed everything goes haywire. One of the strong elements in this one is how you're left to worry but not panic, until it's right up on you. Intriguing throughout. Quick read, and as the title suggests, it's fun. Worth the read. Well written. First book I've read through in a long while. What will happen next? Hoping for further adventures of Dean. Found it engaging and suspenseful. Great writing and great plot Surf's up, dudes! This quirky sci-fi send-up of Fast Times at Ridgemont High is a winner. The characters in this novel are based loosely on the movie (hence the name), but that's where the similarities end. In this well-written story that's partly coming-of-age and horror mashup, the kids must get to the bottom of mysterious forces threatening the small coastal town of Ridgemont, and the tale spins out expertly in the hands of the author. Evelyn MacIntire and her teenage friends risk discovery by hooded cult members as they try to solve the mystery before it's too late, taking over everyone in Ridgemont -- including Evelyn's parents, the school's principal, and the members of the sinister Esoteric Order of Dagon, a new church in the community. The school stoner, Dean Bolek, is increasingly troubled by visions of jelly-like waves and menacing sea creatures the size of a barn. Chris Patkany, and his friend Mike watch helplessly as some strange force fries a full-blown Orca whale at Marine World, where they work. Before all this started, Evelyn's biggest worry was that she wouldn't lose her virginity until she was in her twenties, when she could escape the strict scrutiny of her parents.

In a bid to retain the devotion of their subjects, the gods unveiled the interworking of Qi, a divine source of energy. Numerous creatures gained the ability to harness godlike power, thus ushering the entire cosmos into a period of extreme violence and chaos. One god, Mudarar, sought to conquer the universe and bend all creatures to his will. He gave thirteen of his chosen subjects almost unparalleled access to Qi and free rein to spread havoc against anyone who opposed his will. Those thirteen Disciples waged war against various planets in the name of Mudarar and ruled the defeated lands. Evian, an almighty combat genius, is the only real threat to Mudarars dark plot of universal domination. Her goal is to defeat Mudarar and bring an end to his reign, and her method is simple: destroy every one of his Disciples until she gets to the god himself. Members Reviews: A Cosmic Captivation!! Per what I read it evokes an emotion for action. I say this because the message draws on certain life paradigms and current world condition. A "rising" indeed!! Lovely work frat! Keep going! A Lesson in Love Evian Risingâs creator seems to have the corner market on lavish love letters in the form of a martial arts fantasy/anime mashup. His journey is crafted upon a sculpture of feminism that is both timeless and modern, broken from the mold of diversity, mythology and vengeance. The magnetism of the main character comes from her decisive nature. Itâs up to you as the reader to decide whether the ends justify the means, but I can appreciate the storyâs attempt to demonstrate the power human charisma can have over blind faith. The protagonist is both blunt and empathetic, similar to the likes of Salt or Lara Croft, and sheâs just as mysterious. If you're a fan of mangas like Naruto or Fairy Tail check out Evian Rising Calloway is a talented storyteller and artist. He's created a believable futuristic world that provides readers with a new type of hero. Looking forward to seeing what happens next in Evian journey. If you're a fan of mangas like Naruto or Fairy Tail check out Evian Rising. If you enjoy reading sci-fi this is the book for your collection. Most importantly if you've been waiting to read a story with a different type of hero this is the book for you. Evian Rising doesn't disappoint. A Win for Women of Color Evian Rising is an amazing read. The characters are unique and engaging. The story: compelling. So many characters of color are forced to struggle within societies where the color of their skin limits them. Evian Rising is an amazing story where that doesn't matter. She's not rising above her station. She's creating her own darn station. I loved every moment of reading this, and you will, too. Fun Story. Good Artwork Fun storyline and good artwork. What more do you need? Can't wait for the next chapter.

On a remote rocky island a few miles off the Channel coast stands Fang Rock lighthouse. There have always been tales of the beast of Fang Rock, but when the TARDIS lands here with Leela and the Doctor, the force they must deal with is more sinister and deadly than the mythical beast of the past. It is the early 1900s, electricity is just coming into common usage, and the formless, gelatinous mass from the future must use the lighthouse generators to recharge its system. Nothing can stop the Rutan scout in its search and its experimentation on humans.... Duration: 4 hours approx. Members Reviews: Weak story Weak story but enjoyable performance and sound effects. Totally within the style of the 70s show. well done Terrance and Louise louise Jameson is a fantastic narrator and is particularly good in this. I always thought that this story was one of Tom's best, but missed the original transmission. Because of this the book was my first, and for many years my only experience of the story. When I finally got the opportunity to the see it on BSB, I was impressed by the clostrphobic atmosphere and the great performance of the cast. For me it stands with talons, robots, and genesis at the top of the list of the fourth doctors stories. Another solid adaptation Sit back and enjoy another classic Dr Who novel expertly read by Louise Jameson who of course played Leela in the original TV adaptation. Great sound effects really make this a very enjoyable few hours.

Directed by: Ken Bentley. Members Reviews: Great book! I just finished listening to this and went and purchase the other two right away. I love the different voice and stories. Offshoot from BBCs Doctor Who series Just listened to all of the available series on Audible, 1-3, back-to-back. The story follows the Counter-Measures team solving mysterious events, similar to The X-Files. Based during the 1960s, it has a period The Avengers-esque soundscape to match. The first series is OK, but a bit of a mess in places; within the behind the scenes documentary it is acknowledged they learnt what worked and what needed changing. And am happy to say that series 2+3 are both much improved. The main issue with Counter-Measures, for me, is the delivery of one actors lines. So often theyre flat, lack emotion, or are poorly timed which results in them jarring with the flow of dialogue. It does improve in the latter half of series 3 so am hopefully once Audible gets Series 4 itll be a 5* all round review. * Series 1 - July 2012 * Series 2 - June 2013 * Series 3 - July 2014 ---------------------------- Not yet available on Audible: * Series 4 - July 2015 Then it morphs into The New Counter-Measures: * Who Killed Toby Kinsella - July 2016 (duration 2 hours) * Series 1 - December 2016 And one last thing to say is, Hugh Ross is fantastic as Sir Toby Kinsella. Hes got a great voice. Like retro 60s sci-fi...? Give it a punt ! I had never heard of this series, but after a little background reading found out it came out of a single Dr Who episode from (I think) the late 80s. While written and broadcast from 2012, the whole thing is set in the 60s and does indeed do a good job of actually sounding like it was written and produced in that era....

Is it as harmless as it seems? And why are so many local people going on holiday and never returning? Meanwhile, on another world, an alien war is raging. The Quevvils need to find a new means of attacking the ruthless Mantodeans. Searching the galaxy for cunning, warlike but gullible allies, they find the ideal soldiers on Earth. Will Rose be able to save her family and friends from the alien threat? And can the Doctor play the game to the end and win? Read by Camille Coduri, this is a gripping adventure featuring the Ninth Doctor and Rose, as played by Christopher Eccleston and Billie Piper in the hit series from BBC Television. Members Reviews: One of the best! This has quite possibly usurped "The Forever Trap" as my favorite Doctor Who novel. The story is solid, the characters are bang on, and Camille Coduri's narration is perfect. I was completely charmed by this book within the first ten minutes. It's as if Rayner knows these characters personally. You can easily envision them acting exactly as Rayner describes. I don't normally relisten to audiobooks, but this one is definitely going into rotation. Want to play a GAME? If you could sum up Doctor Who: The Winner Takes All in three words, what would they be? Can Rose make a good game piece for the Doctor to control? Can the Doctor get her out of the game alive? Who or what could put them in a game with real live players? What other book might you compare Doctor Who: The Winner Takes All to and why? The Silent Stars Go By : They are alike in you are not sure where the story is going because it keeps changing, they are read by different people and by different authors but both are worth listening too. Which scene was your favorite? The best scene was when the Doctor picked up the controler and moved Rose through the maze on the game board. Overall entertaining story Not bad. Enjoyable and worth a listen. Narrator paints a good picture and portrays all characters well Solid characters and great narration, okay story. I listen to and watch alot of Doctor Who and this one not only stays true to the series, but it is one that I think a more causual fan could get into. Jacqueline Rayner captures the esscense of the characters, especially the 9th Doctor, Rose and even the ol' Tin Dog Mickey perfectly. She also obviously did her homework when she made this one as it stays well within the continuity of the Whoniverse and even keeps up with most of the themes of series 1 of the TV show. I could have easily seen this one being made into an episode and would have loved it if they had. The story itself isn't great but it is well executed and very entertaining, though the villians in this one are a tad on the silly side. And while I was not expecting much from Camille Coduri (Jackie Tyler on the show) when I pick this one up, I was very pleasantly surprised. She did an absolutely brilliant job narrating this one and I hope they get her for some more. Well worth a listen, especially if you like the 9th Doctor and Rose. Give it a go.

The year is 2070, and the Earth's weather is controlled by a device called the Gravitron which is under threat from a plague epidemic and the Cybermen. Don't miss any of the episodes. ©2003 BBC Worldwide Ltd; (P)2000, 2001 BBC Worldwide Ltd Members Reviews: amazing. too bad it's missing Where does Doctor Who rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? it ranks the second best, only the slightest millimeter behind 12 doctors 12 stories. What was one of the most memorable moments of Doctor Who? i like any scene with the cybermen. there voices are perfect Which scene was your favorite? i don't exactly know. but like i said, the cybermen are fantastic Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? it made me gasp in horror at the idiocy of bbc's decision to earase it, or any other doctor who story, for that matter Any additional comments? all doctor who is amazing. exept the sixth doctor. he's just blghfrtfh. Classic Cyberman story. A real classic. The Cybermen will become to Second Doctor, what the Daleks were to First Doctor. His big bad guy. They will make three more appearances in Troughton's series, while the Daleks will only appear twice. The second Doctor will make one more trip to the moon one more time after this. The story Seeds of Death. A great story and great audio. Cyberman voices detract from the story Harder for me to follow because of the Cyberman voices but I enjoyed the Doctor and Jamie as always. I'll have to listen to it a few more times. What the Doctor ordered This is a fantastic balance of original audio track tied in with narration. It works surprisingly well. The original audio is a little...deteriorated, but otherwise I felt like 10 again, which is when I first saw the episode. The Cybermen's 2nd Adventure This cheeky little romp sees the Cybermen make their second ever appearance menacing astronauts on a moonbase. There is so much to love here, with great performances and the combination of your imagination with Frazer Hines' narration probably creates a far more engrossing image than the original TV show!

But there is a more sinister presence at work in the Lakes than a mere monster on the rampage, and the Doctor is soon embroiled in the plans of an old and terrifying enemy. And as the hunters become the hunted, a desperate battle of wits begins - with the future of the entire world at stake. Members Reviews: Great little adventure The story was interesting and enjoyable. The only small issue I have is with the reader. The actor who plays Martha's brother narrates here. He attempts the nuances of Tennant and misses the mark. I also wish he would enunciate a bit more. NOT Adjoa Andoh NOT narrated by the woman who plays Martha's mother, but rather Reggie Yates, the guy who plays Martha's brother Leo. His voice got a bit annoying after awhile. Otherwise, really good story, lots of suspense and running from monsters for at least the last half of the book. Would definitely read again.

Title: Doctor Who - Master Author: Joseph Lidster Narrator: Sylvester McCoy, Geoffrey Beevers Format: Original Recording Length: 2 hrs and 15 mins Language: English Release date: 04-14-16 Publisher: Big Finish Productions Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 9 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Doctor Who Publisher's Summary: Many years ago, on a dark and stormy night, the disfigured and enigmatic Dr John Smith invited his closest friends, Inspector Victor Schaeffer and his wife, Jacqueline, to a dinner to celebrate his birthday. A few hours later all the occupants in that house had been changed some were dead, others mentally scarred forever by the events of that night. So, what happened to the distinguished dinner guests on that evening? Perhaps we'll never know. But two clues have led to much speculation found outside the study window, a charred umbrella with a curved red handle; and found inside the house, a blood-stained copy of Stevenson's The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. For one person this night represented an ending: an ending to 1,000 years of darkness and an ending to 10 years of light. But for everyone else, is there no end to this one night of hell? Written by Joseph Lidster and directed by Gary Russell. Members Reviews: The Best Master Story The best and most serious Master story and the darkest of the villains trilogy. This story is the definitive psychological look at the Master and his relationship to the Doctor. The story starts with Part One establishing the atmosphere and mood of the colony and the fact that the Master has lost his memory and living as Doctor John Smith as well as meeting his two friends. The middle episodes build the tension leading to stunning cliffhanger at the end of episode three. The final episode is one twist, turn, and punch in the gut after the other. It's a very dark story that never quite loses all hope. The story is economically written with a minimal amount of characters and all the actors are just spot on. The material is superb. It manages to be philosophical without being boring or preachy. Beevers is simply masterful from start to finish and this is also one of Sylvester McCoy's best performances. this story may be the best one I've listened to yet and I'd say I've ... I listen to these Doctor Who audio stories through Hoopla Digital (all you need is a library card). I must say, this story may be the best one I've listened to yet and I'd say I've listened to about 20 (and many aren't that great, but this one is good). I agree with what the other reviewer said. I will also add that its fun at times because they touch on some stuff the Doctor & Master apparently did in their childhood. Things I hadn't heard about in other stories. Things that can explain a good bit about them and their relationship. OOOh what a great story to listen to at Halloween OOOh what a great story to listen to at Halloween. But, it does go into the Doctor/Master relationship a bit more and some understanding why the Doctor can never seem to kill the Master. The story very good and has a few surprises in the characters. Is the Master evil due to Nature or Nurture? It is a wonderful story---turn the lights out when you listen to this one.

Doctor Who - The Companion Chronicles - Mother Russia Audiobook by Marc Platt

Title: Doctor Who - The Companion Chronicles - Mother Russia Author: Marc Platt Narrator: Peter Purves, Tony Millan Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 19 mins Language: English Release date: 01-27-16 Publisher: Big Finish Productions Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Doctor Who Publisher's Summary: It's 1812, and the Doctor, Steven and Dodo get ready to spend their winter in a Russian village. The French are on their way, but that's not the only invasion the travellers will have to deal with. Written by: Marc Platt. Directed by: Nigel Fairs. Critic Reviews: "Old school Doctor Who at its best. So good, you'd swear you saw this one on TV." (Total Sci-Fi) Members Reviews: Middling Would you try another book written by Marc Platt or narrated by Peter Purves and Tony Millan ? Yes. I've found some of Platt's Doctor Who work very enjoyable, notably his Unbound plays. Not so much his novels, or his grossly overrated Cyberman origin story. Peter Purves is always worth a listen. He's not the best William Hartnell impersonator (William Russell probably is) but he's good enough. How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable? Remove the (other) alien element. This vexes me with the Doctor Who pseudohistoricals. The first time they did one - with the Meddling Monk - it was a novelty, and a significant story element in its own right. But it's long since been overworked into a tiresome lily-gilding exercise. Here, for instance, it's as if 1812 Russia isn't an interesting enough setting in its own right for our time travellers, so a generic alien needs adding to the mix. It really should be possible for the TARDIS to land somewhere in Earth's history without somebody else landing there too. I can't pretend I didn't know it was going to happen - it's hinted at strongly enough in the blurb - but I hoped this would at least offer a fresh approach to the idea. But it really doesn't. The alien's special ability also means the twist is bleeding obvious. That's not to say it fails to entertain. The TARDIS crew's arrival in Russia (not far from Moscow) is enjoyable, and it was pleasing to have them stay for several months rather than simply pop in, look around, fight off the evil alien, and pop out. Use of honest to goodness narration (as opposed to contrived "Look, that ski pole is rising off the ground of its own accord" dialogue) is always a good thing. So, not a total waste of time, but rather less than it could have been. What does Peter Purves and Tony Millan bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you had only read the book? It's a play written for the audio medium, not a book. If this book were a film would you go see it? Given the nature of this product, it's exceedingly unlikely that this would be made into a film, but yeah, why not?

Why or why not? I could recommend this book. It is a nice Doctor Who story. Quite enjoyable. But, I like almost anything Doctor Who. The story line was in character with Doctor Who stories. The villins were well done . I never expected who the real villin was. Would you recommend Doctor Who and the Space War to your friends? Why or why not? Overall I would recommend it. It is a pretty well developed Doctor Who story. Would you listen to another book narrated by Geoffrey Beevers? If I found the premise interesting enough, yes I would. Do you think Doctor Who and the Space War needs a follow-up book? Why or why not? Not really. I very seldom find follow-up books to be as interesting as the original book,

A year after a mysterious meteorite lit up the skies of New York State, Martian invaders laid waste to the nation. At least, according to soon-to-be infamous Orson Welles they did. But what if some of the panicked listeners to the legendary War of the Worlds broadcast weren't just imagining things? Attempting to deliver Charley to her rendezvous in Singapore in 1930, the Doctor overshoots a little, arriving in Manhattan just in time to find a dead private detective. Indulging his gumshoe fantasies, the Doctor is soon embroiled in the hunt for a missing Russian scientist whilst Charley finds herself at the mercy of a very dubious Fifth Columnist. With some genuinely out-of-this-world 'merchandise' at stake, the Tardis crew are forced into an alliance with a sultry dame called Glory Bee, Orson Welles himself and a mobster with half a nose known as The Phantom. And slowly but surely, something is drawing plans against them. Just not very good ones.... Written and directed by Mark Gatiss.

There are unaccountable losses of power-output, nervous breakdowns amongst the staff, and then - a death! Members Reviews: Quite different but interesting retelling. What made the experience of listening to Doctor Who and the Cave Monsters the most enjoyable? Caroline John's performance is good and the music between chapters is very cool and atmospheric. Sounded very "Doctor Who"! Made me wish there was more of it and also wonder who the composer was.An interesting listen as it differs a lot in places from the original program and goes into more detail. If youve listened to books by Malcolm Hulke before, how does this one compare? Book is well-written. This is one of my favourite stories from the third Doctor era so it was good to hear this expanded telling that includes many interesting descriptions from the point of view of the monsters. Have you listened to any of Caroline Johns other performances before? How does this one compare? She gives a lively performance at times and does the different voices and accents well. I see she also reads another of my favourites, "Inferno", so might check that one out next. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? I managed it in two listens as I usually find audio-books quite long and rarely listen to the whole thing in one sitting. Any additional comments? Overall a worthwhile, interesting expansion of one of the best third Doctor stories. Fantastic! A great, classic story read by an amazing actress. Goes by very quickly. 5/5 stars.

Since 1955 the lighthouse has been out of commission, shut down because of fire that gutted the entire tower. But now, finally updated and fully renovated, the island and lighthouse are about to be brought back into service. Students have gathered on Fang Rock to celebrate the opening of the 'most haunted lighthouse of the British Isles', but they get more than they bargained for when the ghosts of long-dead men return, accompanied by a falling star. Colonel Lethbridge-Stewart is brought in to investigate what he believes to be signs of alien involvement. But it is not only Lethbridge-Stewart who has an interest in Fang Rock. Anne Travers is called to her family solicitor's, who have in their possession a letter from Archibald Goff, the paranormal investigator who once visited Fang Rock back in the 1820s, and along with it a piece of alien technology. What connects a shooting star, ghosts of men killed in 1902 and the beast that roamed Fang Rock in 1823? Lethbridge-Stewart and Anne Travers are about to discover the answer firsthand.... A brand-new series of novels set just after the Doctor Who serial The Web of Fear, featuring the characters and concepts created by Mervyn Haisman and Henry Lincoln.

The least good in the series so far in my opinion.

It's got political intrigue, ship-board mutiny, xenophobia, ordinary folks dealing with oppression and conquest, and Cybermen on every street corner as well as outer space. It was hard to turn off and I ended up listening much too late till I finished it. Really enjoyable Really enjoyed this. Well acted great script imaginatively put together. Big Finish at their best.

In the seaside village of Watchcombe, young Kate is determined to make the most of her last week of summer holiday. But when she discovers a mysterious painting entitled 'The Lord of Winter' in a charity shop, it leads her on an adventure she never could have planned. Kate soon realises the old seascape, painted long ago by an eccentric local artist, is actually a puzzle. And with the help of some bizarre new acquaintances - including a museum curator's magical cat, a miserable neighbour, and a lonely boy - she plans on solving it. And then, one morning, Kate wakes up to a world changed forever. For the Lord of Winter is coming - and Kate has a very important decision to make. Members Reviews: Summer Falls by Amelia Williams In the tradition of Enid Blyton's "Famous Five' and "Secret Seven" series, Amelia Williams has woven a tale to delight children of all ages. "Summer Falls" tells the tale of a girl named Kate, who has come to live in the village of Watchcombe with her mother. Upon discovering an old painting titled "The Lord of Winter" in a charity shop, events begin to happen which will change Kate's life forever. Assisted by the local museum caretaker, Barnabas, a talking cat and friends Armand and Milo, Kate begins her heroic quest to save the world from the elusive Lord of Winter. Amelia Williams is the editor of the crime novel series featuring super sleuth Melody Malone, and a bestselling author of books for children. She and her husband Rory live in New York with their son, Anthony. The Williams have a daughter, Melody, who is employed as an archaeologist. (This novella appeared in the Doctor Who episode "The Bells of Saint John." The credited author is James Goss and the cover was designed by Lee Binding.) A Children's Reader It is with a child that any young person identifies their surroundings. Children love magic and simple pleasure. We forget that when we get older, and then, a man who aches for his childhood hobby becomes a threat to a town. As the 11th Doctor would say, magic is cool. Rationality and logical explanations take too long when you only have one day to enjoy something wonderful. Fun, fast-paced adventure! This book appears briefly in the episode "The Bells of St. John" (season 7 part 2) of Doctor Who and is ostensibly written by previous companion Amy Pond. I do love this new trend to feature books in the Doctor Who episodes and have them actually exist! It reads like a children's adventure tale, but also like a Doctor Who adventure with the helpful "Curator" appearing to help the children as the Lord of Winter comes. Kate is an unusually determined and focused girl who doesn't have a lot of faith in grown-ups, and when she wakes up in a wintry landscape with no adults around, she has to step up and figure out how to thwart the Lord of Winter. This story is very exciting and fast-paced and while Kate bears some similarities to Amy Pond's spunkiness in my mind, Kate is a great character on her own.

While Rose finds herself locked up in a teenage borstal, the Doctor is trapped in a scientific labour camp. Each is determined to find the other, and soon both Rose and the Doctor are risking life and limb to escape in their distinctive styles. But their dangerous plans are complicated by some old enemies. Are these creatures fellow prisoners as they claim, or staging a takeover for their own sinister purposes? Read by Camille Coduri, who played Jackie Tyler in Doctor Who, this is a gripping adventure featuring the Doctor and Rose as played by Christopher Eccleston and Billie Piper in the hit series from BBC Television. Members Reviews: Mediocre story, excellent narrator The Doctor takes Rose to her first alien planet where they are immediately captured, separated, and imprisoned on different planets. As Rose fights to get back to the Doctor, the Doctor uncovers an alien plot to... oh, I don't want to spoil it. The idea is interesting and we see some familiar baddies, but the execution just didn't work for me. Because the Doctor and Rose are separated, what we essentially have are two different stories and almost no interaction between the two main characters. Another problem is the story drags on far too long. Three times I thought the story was wrapping up, only to see that I had several hours of book left to go. Normally, this would be a good thing, but not here. I should have loved this, but I didn't. That said, I also didn't hate it. The author did a great job of keeping both the Doctor and Rose in-character. We see Rose cope and rebel in a hellish environment and we see glimpses of the Ninth Doctor's soft, compassionate side (always a nice juxtaposition with his normally prickly and hardened demeanor). I also enjoyed some of the original characters in this story. And, as always, Camille Coduri knocks it out of the ballpark as the narrator. I would recommend this story to fans of the Ninth Doctor and those who really enjoy Season 1 bad guys. An enjoyable listen Where does Doctor Who: The Monsters Inside rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Compared to the other Doctor Who books I've listened to, this one is in the top half. Who was your favorite character and why? The performer's Rose was done very well, she also made the alien characters come alive pretty well. Any additional comments? This was a solid doctor who book. The story would have been a two part episode had it been made for TV. It also makes sense within the context of the 9th doctor's one season. The themes and resolution of the story make sense and feel like the first season of the new who tv. The sonic runs out of batteries?! Mostly this just felt like an excuse to revive a potential foil. Was there no vinegar in the kitchen?? Not the best Not my favorite although i enjoyed it. The story is a little bit rambly. Recommended to dr fans but probably not a second go through Pure science fiction The monster inside is a great story for DW fans. Perfectly narratid by Jackie Tyler

Title: Torchwood Subtitle: Everyone Says Hello Author: Dan Abnett Narrator: Burn Gorman Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 29 mins Language: English Release date: 02-05-08 Publisher: BBC Worldwide Limited Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 113 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Doctor Who Publisher's Summary: Across Cardiff, ordinary people are behaving in odd ways: saying hello to one another and going out of their way to greet people. Torchwood discovers that an alien communications field is gathering strength in the city. The team must find the device responsible and shut it off - before civil unrest engulfs the city. Members Reviews: Good enough for me Everyone Says Hello is a pretty good Torchwood story with an interesting presentation. Burn Gorman does a good job bringing most of the characters to life; the exception being Captain Jack Harkness, who proved beyond Gorman; I'm not sure if it was just the accent, or something else. But he did a pretty good job bringing Dan Abnett's story to life otherwise. This isn't Abnett's first Torchwood story, and he proved here again that he has a good grasp of the show's characters. The story fell victim to the same tendency towards the grandiose that some of the more recent Torchwood stories on-screen have, but as long as the story is well-executed that's not a problem. And I certainly think that the story was well-executed. While a new Torchwood novel would've been my preference over a new audiobook, I still enjoyed Everyone Says Hello. And that's good enough for me. Hello, I'm Eugenie, I'm a fan and . . . This book is not really centered on the Torchwood crew, but the people of Cardiff who just can't seem to stop saying "Hello, I'm (fill in name). . . " and giving intimate pieces of info. about themselves to anyone who will listen, which makes for some funny moments. However, there are people immune to this bizarre happenstance, the Torchwood crew among them. It is their job to figure out why nearly everyone in Cardiff won't stop saying, "Hello, I'm . . ." Burn Gorman narrates this story well, immitating his fellow Torchwood team spot on, complete with Welsh accents and a somewhat American accent for Jack. I really liked his narration and look forward to any other stories he may do again. My only complaint would be that the ending was tied up a bit too quickly, otherwise I thought the story imaginative, funny, and the action placed well within the story. A waste of time To be fair, I have not yet finished listening to this book. But that's probably because it is so frustratingly boring that I can't bring myself to do so! Burn's reading is fantastic as is his vocal acting for each of the varied characters. The writing of the book is, however, appalling. The story is slow - unbelievably slow - and unfortunately the alien 'invasion' involves LOADS of completely unnecessary talking by different characters in the general public. The whole premise could have been established in 4 minutes, not 40 (I am at 42 minutes now and keep expecting SOMETHING different to happen - and have been still disappointed.) It might have worked in video form but, as it is, is a complete failure of a story. As I said, my congratulations to Burn for sitting through this. But if you're thinking about getting this? Unless you really, really love his voice and don't mind the blithering writing, I would NOT recommend downloading it.

Her grandfather is especially overjoyed - he's discovered a new star and had it named after him. He takes the Doctor, as his special guest, to the naming ceremony. But the Doctor is suspicious about some of the other changes he can see in the Earth's heavens. Particularly that bright star, right there. No, not that one, that one, there, on the left... The world's population is slowly being converted to a new path, a new way of thinking. Something is coming to Earth, an ancient force from the Dark Times. Something powerful, angry and all-consuming... Featuring the Doctor and Donna as played by David Tennant and Catherine Tate in the hit series from BBC Television, Beautiful Chaos is read by Bernard Cribbins, who played Donna's grandfather in Doctor Who. Members Reviews: Beautiful Chaos, beautiful book Beautiful Chaos was an unexpected treat. A novel that's more about Donna and her grandfather Wilfred Mott (played on the show by the novel's narrator, Bernard Cribbins) than the plot, Bernard brings his character and the others brilliantly to life in audio form. That's not to say there's not plot to be had--far from it. Beautiful Chaos is a story of intrigue and astrology, and a plot that couldn't have been foiled if it weren't for Wilfred. For anybody who wants to see more of Donna, Wilfred, and the Doctor, Beautiful Chaos is a highly recommended listen. Bernard's great !!! Is there anything you would change about this book? Really well narrated What about Bernard Cribbinss performance did you like? Lovely to listen to the performance of a great actor - stretching to cover the different voices and emotions Very moving! Full to the brim of the great team of the Doctor/Donna! The best part for me was the narrator's original character singing and the reasons why he was singing. The ending is the best! Wonderful story This is one of my favorite Doctor Who audio books. Bernard Cribbens does an excellent performance. I listen to it often. Kind of scary This one was a little bit scary in a weird sort of way. The astrology stuff kind of messes with me. Also the ending was strange, it just dropped off sooner than I felt it should have. But a nice story, and also Bernard Cribbins, who's brilliant. Still trying to find the perfect voice of Donna, but this is getting closer than some I've read.

Elsewhere in the city, an ordinary woman with superhuman strength and a extraordinary hunger is attacking people and eating her victims. ©2007 Andy Lane; (P)2007 BBC Audiobooks LTD Members Reviews: An extended episode. The charactars are spot on, the interaction is fantastic, the plot is great, the writing is brilliant. Everything flows like you are listening to an episode of Torchwood. Only the show would NEVER have put this on the air. It's gory. Really gory. Some of the descriptions make you want to.... just keep a bucket close. People eat their own limbs while their still attached, and eat other people too. If you can get past the gore though, this is pure torchwood at it's finest. Awesome like Atapose Would you listen to Torchwood again? Why? Yes, same great chemistry and stories Who was your favorite character and why? Owen, love his humanity What does Burn Gorman bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Great emphasis and emotion in the reading Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Graphic descriptions - some good, some gross Any additional comments? Love the wonder and horror of their world It is personal for the Torchwood team this time! Who doesnt want to lose weight? A doctor discovers a miracle weight loss treatment, but it soon goes sideways. There are side effects. Torchwood becomes involved, but they cant save everybody... Oddly, despite the horror, this story struck me as particularly fun. I feel like steak tonight. Switched to Audio from Text Version Read from May 29 to July 12, 2012 Started reading on my Kindle on 5/29. Switched to audiobook 7/10 (read by Burn Gorman, a.k.a., Dr. Owen Harper). The audiobook was abridged, so it left out all of the angsty relationship stuff between Gwen and Rhys, which was why I wasn't enjoying the book---because the show had already progressed their relationship FAR past the point it's at in this book. As far as the mystery/alien plot---predictable. Not Dramatized As Listed! (Still a decent listen) This is a quick, entertaining Torchwood story that I believe is an abridged version of the actual book by Andy Lane. I'm not really a fan of abridged versions, but I thought I was getting a radio episode of Torchwood with the actual cast members when (Dramatized) was listed in the title. It's not, it's just Burn Gorman (Owen) reading a story that's mostly about Gwen and Rhys with smatterings of the other Torchwood team members. Speaking of smatterings, this story is fairly bloody with a touch here and there of gore. Burn does a good, paced reading of the text but doesn't venture into the various accents of the diverse cast. All dialogue is spoken with a British pronunciation even though I was hoping to hear American and Welsh. All in all, if you're a fan of Torchwood, you should like this book.

Title: Doctor Who - The Companion Chronicles - The Mahogany Murderers Author: Andy Lane Narrator: Christopher Benjamin, Trevor Baxter Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 10 mins Language: English Release date: 04-20-17 Publisher: Big Finish Productions Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Doctor Who Publisher's Summary: Professor George Litefoot: the eminent pathologist who advises the police in some of their grisliest cases. Henry Gordon Jago: the master of ceremonies at the Alhambra Theatre. These are two very different men from contrasting strata in society who became firm friends and collaborators after their adventure with the Doctor and Leela battling the evil Weng-Chiang. Some years later, Jago and Litefoot have defeated dangerous denizens of the daemonic darkness together. They have stood side by side against threats to the British Empire. But when a body is found on the banks of the River Thames and Litefoot's post mortum reveals that it is actually a highly detailed wooden mannequin, their most dangerous adventure begins. Dr Tulp has masterminded a deadly scheme, Jack Yeovil and his murderous gang plan to live forever, and only Jago and Litefoot can stop them.... Members Reviews: Why, don't that take the biscuit! Thirty-two years ago, fans of Dr. Who tuned into the episode "The Talons of Weng Chiang" and met two of the best-concieved guest characters in the history of the series: Professor Gordon Litefoot, the police pathologist, and Henry Gordon Jago, manager of the Palace Theatre. These men could scarcely have been cut from more different cloth: Litefoot was a cerebral gentleman of impeccable Victorian manners, alone but not lonely; Jago was a blustering, cigar-chewing huckster, surrounded by people yet somehow seeming desperately in need of a friend. Not only did they make fitting temporary companions for the Doctor, they had such a superb chemistry with each other that when the final credits rolled, the audience - at least this part of the audience - couldn't help but wonder, "What do you suppose happened to those two after the Doctor left?" Cut ahead several decades. Some genius in the BBC decides that A) the various Doctors had many wonderfully written companions and guest characters over the years, B) many of those actors are still alive, C) the nostalgia for the "original" Dr. Who series is undiminished, D) on a radio, nobody's age shows, so why not bring it all back in this format? Presto chango, "The Companion Chronicles" is born. Recorded as radio plays, these episodes pick up the thread of these characters' lives, cheerfully ignoring the fact that 30 or even 40 years have passed since they were last heard from. And indeed, when I first heard Trevor Baxter reprise Prof. Litefoot's wonderfully upper-crust British accents over my earphones, it may as well have been 1977 all over again, right down to the old-school "Dr. Who" theme music at the beginning. Without giving away any secrets, I can tell you this: "The Mahogany Murders" takes place an unspecified time after the end of "The Talons of Weng-Chiang." Litefoot and Jago have indeed become friends, or, as Litefoot puts it, "comrades-in-arms", who spend some of their off-hours fighting crime in Victorian London. But when a wooden "corpse" is found in the Thames that quite literally walks out of Litefoot's autopsy room, the unlikely duo realize they are once again facing a villain who belongs more to the realms of H.G. Welles than Arthur Conan Doyle - but this time without the Doctor to help them.

Cory has to get a warning back to Earth before it's too late - but the Daleks find him first. Months later the Doctor and his companions arrive on Kembel and find Cory's message. But it may be too late for Earth - the Daleks' Master Plan has already begun... Peter Purves and Jean Marsh read this exciting novelisation of a classic Doctor Who adventure, with Dalek voices by Nicholas Briggs. This is the first of two novelisations written by John Peel and based on the TV serial The Daleks' Masterplan. The second, Daleks: The Mutation of Time, is also available from AudioGO. Members Reviews: Thrilling story! Any additional comments? When I bought it, this book only had a one-star rating by one person. I don't understand why anyone would just give it one star. It is exciting, witty (I laughed out loud at one point) and has a really complicated plot (though it isn't hard to follow). A correction to the description: it is narrated by Jean Marsh (who played Sara Kingdom in the original series) AND Peter Purves, who played Steven Taylor. Another reader who should not be forgotten is Nicholas Briggs, who does all the Dalek voices. Marsh, Purves and Briggs are all terrific, of course. Long may they keep doing Doctor Who in all its various forms! The Great Epic part one. The closest Doctor Who ever got to an epic style like the Lord Of the Rings saga, was the Daleks Masterplan. It was longest serial of the whole original series. 12 episodes in all. The first Doctor meets the Daleks one last time. Lot people died in this serial, nobody was safe even the Doctors Companions. By the end two will die. No one has ever seen it since it originally went out, because some idiot at BBC destroyed most of the episodes. Luckily John Peel was finally was allowed to novelize the story. Which concludes in the next book. Can hardly wait to listen to it. the daleks masterpiece Any additional comments? I cant believe someone gave this book such a poor rating, it's one of the best classic doctor who audios i've listened to, both narrators do a brilliant job of bringing the first doctor and his companions to life. You could argue that it's a little overlong and some of the mini adventures they have just drag things out but they do add a bit of much needed humor to quite a serious story and whats not to love about a story that has the daleks at their devious scheming best, It's such a shame I'm never going to see the television version of this story as most of the episodes are missing, but this book along with the second part(the mutation of time) more than make up for it. Doctor Who: Darleks - Mission to the Unknown Took a long time to get into.

The hideously deformed Magnus Greel, conducting a desperate search for the lost Time Cabinet, is the instigator of all this evil. Posing as the Chinese god Weng-Chiang, Greel uses the crafty Chang, and the midget manikin Mr Sin to achieve his terrifying objectives. The Doctor must use all his skill, energy, and intelligence to escape the talons of Weng-Chiang. Christopher Benjamin, who played Henry Gordon Jago in the original BBC TV serial, reads Terrance Dicks' complete and unabridged novelisation, first published by Target Books in 1977. Members Reviews: Fantastic Loved this when I watched it on tv. The book was fantastic too. Fantastic reading too. Who's better Sherlock Holmes or The Doctor? One of my favorite Doctor who stories. It has a great plot, with my favorite Doctor. It has bit of everything, Sherlock Holmes, Phantom of the Opera, Fu Manchu, Jack the Ripper, Dracula, and Time Machine. It was as the Scriptwriter Robert Holmes tried to combine every plot from the Victoria era in the story. Terrence Dicks did a great job with the novelization. Classic Doctor Who. Well done! The narrator provides just the right tone to this classic story that kept me listening and relistening. A magician in the story bested by the Doctor's magical prowess was one fun part. Brilliant! Another great classic Who adventure. Great narration by Christopher Benjamin, who was excellent in the televised version as Jago. Listened to it in one sitting. This is one of my very favorite Who stories ever. will be listening to it again.

People who lingered in the mist were found dead, their faces smothered in cobwebs. The cobweb seeped down, penetrating the Underground System. Slowly it spread.... When the Doctor, Jamie and Victoria arrive, they find not just one Yeti but hordes, roaming the misty streets and cobwebbed tunnels, killing everyone in their path. London has been gripped tight in a Web of Fear.... Members Reviews: Beware the Web !! Another great audio book from the original Target adaptations of the classic era of Dr Who and you don't get more classic than Web of Fear! brilliantly read by Patrick Troughtons's son David who as you might imagine captures his dads characterisation spot on as well as all the other players in what I consider one of the better novelisation's by Terrance Dicks. Atmospheric and really captures the creepy dark dank feeling of being trapped underground with lumbering monsters around every bend of the tunnels. 5 stars

And the terrible things even the most well-meaning of us can inflict on each other. Hear the old woman's story. Then decide her fate. Critic Reviews: "Home Truths lingers in the mind long after the open-ended conclusion, and is one of the very strongest of the latest series." (Doctor Who Magazine) Members Reviews: Ghost Story? This was a very strange Doctor Who story. It's very much haunted house story, with a sci-fi twist and a bigger twist at the end. Jean Marsh did a great job. I hope to hear more of her adventures as Sarah Kingdom soon.

But if Martha is so keen to find out he'll land the TARDIS on the Brilliant, a few days before it vanishes. Then they can see for themselves. Members Reviews: Martha can take care of herself The Pirate Loop is one more Ten/Martha adventure just like from Season 3. It's in character and easy to play it across your memory as if it were from the tv series. It's thrilling and funny and interesting all at the same time. This is one of my favorite Martha stories, and I listen to it again and again. Brilliant! this story, The Pirate Loop, is a very interesting story indeed. The author did a nice job of leaving in the Doctor Who Mythos and the narrator was outstanding. Freeman did a beautiful job of even capturing David Tennant voice patterns and inflections throughout the reading. The story held me in suspense as you didn't quite know where things were going to end up. A typical Doctor Who story. overall, I'm glad I purchase this book through Audible. More for kids As an adult, I love the Doctor Who audio books, even though they say they are aimed at kids. This one, with badger headed creatures some how seemed more child like. Freema Agyeman also lacks the ability to do the many different voices that other narrators are capable of. She does a decent 10th doctor though. Interesting Story And A Great Performance, But... Ms. Agyeman is one of my favorite companions of the Doctor, and she does a great job in bringing life to this quirky and interesting story (which starts a little slowly but picks up its pace quickly). However, I think "cheese and pineapple sticks" is embedded in my brain for eternity... :-)

With Ben press-ganged and put on board a mysterious ship bound for Amsterdam, Polly becomes an unwitting accomplice in the plot to rescue the King. The Doctor can't help because he and Jamie have been arrested and sent to the Tower of London, charged with conspiracy. Can the Doctor and Jamie escape, find Ben, and rescue Polly - while making sure that history remains on its proper course? Members Reviews: A new Second Doctor adventure. Great novel. Mrs Wills does a great job narrating the story, she does a lot of funny voices for all the characters. This adventure involves the 2 Doctor, Polly, Ben, and Jamie, getting involved in the aftermath of the English civil war.The tardis crew are separated in the beginning of the book and must fight to get back to each other. The Doctor and Jamie get arrested on thump up charges, they meet Oliver Cromwell and must convince him not to kill them. Ben gets pressed-ganged on to ship with a mysterious mission to Amsterdam, and Polly get tricked into helping Royal subjects rescue King Charles. It's very complicated plot involving Pirates, assignations, and the trouble of young lovers. Great story, i hope they release more stories like this. Excellent narration Books don't always work well as audio books. Too many characters, a performer who lacks the ability to do a lot of voices or has an unpleasant voice...a lot of factors can detract from the listener's enjoyment. This historical Doctor Who adventure could have been a disaster, as there are MANY characters and quick a complex story. I was a little worried that Anneke Wills was chosen just because she played Polly originally. Luckily, she did an excellent job reading Mark Gatiss's novel. The books itself is good, with spies, pirates, and lots of political intrigue set in the days preceding the execution of King Charles. Anneka Wills is excellent If you could sum up Doctor Who: The Roundheads in three words, what would they be? Interesting and authentic What was one of the most memorable moments of Doctor Who: The Roundheads? The Doctor being confronted with his book by Cromwell's son. Which scene was your favorite? Jamie and the Doctor at the ice market Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes Any additional comments? Anneke Wills was excellent. I kept thinking it was a different person reading dialogue, but it was all her.

Tracking the source of the disruption, he takes Rory and Amy to what appears to be an English public school in the 1950s. But the friends discover that there are some very unusual things about Darkstar Academy. For a start the prefects carry guns, and then there is the strange force field that surrounds the perimeter. Not to mention the foot-long, crab-like creatures with spiny, armored bodies.... The Doctor discovers that the whole place is in terrible danger, but with a swarm of carnivorous creatures on the loose, what can he, Amy, and Rory do to help prevent a terrible disaster? Written specially for audio by Mark Morris, Darkstar Academy features the Doctor, Amy, and Rory as played by Matt Smith, Karen Gillan, and Arthur Darvill in the acclaimed hit series from BBC Television. It is read by Alexander Armstrong. Members Reviews: Five Stars Another fun Doctor Who audiobook. I recommend. Fun story Enjoyable fix of Dr. Who while waiting for the BBC series to resume. Easy to listen to and well written. Darkstar Academy This was an awful Doctor Who audiobook. Not the worst, but definitely up there. The narrator, Alexander Armstrong, who is the voice of Mr. Smith in the Sarah Jane Adventures, is terrible. He doesn't make any attempt to do the imitations of the Doctor, Amy and Rory, instead choosing to read in his own voice for all three with no discernation. It is beyond strange to hear Amy without a Scottish accent, even a bad one. He also doesn't do a good job at inflections either. The Doctor's cry of "No, no no!" is the same as Amy asking "Why don't you move that horsey thing?". Perhaps that is why he was cast as a robotic voice in Whoverse? Morris' writing does not save this one either, I am afraid. This is set post series 5 since Amy and Rory are married. Yet in this adventure, Amy clearly has more affection for the Doctor than for Rory. In fact, she is very cold toward her husband, very being mean spirited. Nothing new is explored about the characters thus making it a bit boring. The actual plot itself is rather horrible. Not throwing out any spoilers, but think of Will from the reboot Lost in Space movie (*crickets*) mashed up with bullying in schools. Yep. It is rather simple and bland. What is good about this audiobook? I suppose I enjoyed Rory's part. He played the part of a hero while still being Rory. Also, if Armstrong had done the Doctor's voice better I would have liked that. Dullstar Academy A story that uses some standard Doctor Who tropes: A boys academy with a military-like structure where boys run about bullying and then the monsters come. The stories twists are all telegraphed and as such fail to surprise. The story fails to build any emotional connection which is important for a story like this to work. Overall, a disappointing tale with little to recommend it. very very good I read it(well actually it read to me) yet I didn't have to. It's doctor who,why wouldn't it be awesome? Then again, not my favorite doctor who tale.

To the Doctor, he's a complete stranger, but to Grayle, the Doctor is an old enemy. An enemy that, many years ago, he finally succeeded in killing. And this is his only chance to gloat. The Doctor and Charley desperately search human history for the secret of Grayle's power and immortality. Their quest takes in four different time periods, the Hellfire Club, the court of Edward the Confessor and the time vortex itself. And when the monsters arrive, the stakes are raised from the life of one Time Lord to the existence of all humanity. Written by: Paul Cornell and Caroline Symcox. Directed by: Gary Russell. Members Reviews: Five Stars Bought as a gift. A fun villain Another great adventure of the 8th doctor and Charlie as they meet a foe who has gone through time fighting the doctor. The Doctor meets his foe who gloats over his victory forcing him to backtrack through time leading to their meetings. (wibbly wobbly timey wimey). Thus the doctor finds him self in Roman England, the time of Edward the Confessor and a fun time in the early 1800's as he tries to defeat this "new" foe and perhaps an old one too. As usual McGain and Fisher run with a great script, the supporting actors come through as the story flows forward toward a climax. The only real question seems to be are McGain and Fisher capable of a sub par performances? Apparently not at least so far. Review of the Seasons It is a fantastic adventure with a lot of chasing and time travel. I do not know what will happened next. The ending of the bad guy is quite a surprise. The mystery at the end is a real nail biter Season of Brilliance It seems to be a recurring theme in Audio Doctor Who with the Doctor encountering a cvilain multiple times and occasionally out order (see the Ghosts of N Space and the Excelis saga). This story far easier to do over audio whereas doing it right on television requires too many sets and just becomes too expensive. It may have never been done better than it was here. The story begins in 1930 when the Doctor finally brings Charley to Signapore only to discover Sebastian Crail, a man he's never met before declaring he's one of the Doctor's lifelong enemies and that he's killed the Doctor already. The Doctor gets Charley and they set about to solve the mystery, travelling to London in three different times: during Roman occupation, the middle ages, and then during the mid-19th century. Each era is created with exquisite detail. My favorite was the Doctor's visit to Edward the Confessor and Edith. Also worthy of praise is Stephen Perring as the ever-changing Sebastian Grayle. It really makes the episode. This story is a lot of fun as the actions of Grayle's masters allow the Doctor to meddle even more than usual. Fans of the new series will have to smile at the Doctor's use of, "Geronimo" when diving into the vortex.

Title: Doctor Who and the Abominable Snowmen Author: Terrance Dicks Narrator: David Troughton Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 15 mins Language: English Release date: 03-24-09 Publisher: BBC Worldwide Limited Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 21 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Doctor Who Publisher's Summary: Why are the peaceful Yeti now spreading death and destruction? And what is the secret behind the glowing cave on the mountain? When Doctor Who discovers that a long-dead friend is still alive, he knows why his visit to the lonely Himalayan monastery has led to a struggle to save the Earth! David Troughton reads Terrance Dicks' complete and unabridged novelisation, first published by Target Books in 1974. Members Reviews: Enjoyable, Quick Read for All Those Unavailable Serials This marks the second Doctor Who serial novelization I have read. Perhaps I put myself at a disadvantage since my first Doctor Who novelization was the outstanding THE POWER OF THE DALEKS by John Peel. In comparison, these shorter novelizations, which were ostensibly targeted for the pre-teen market, likely suffer in the eyes of a mature, life-long reader. Yet for what it offers, a chance to experience serials still lost to time, I did find THE ABOMINABLE SNOWMEN an entertaining, albeit brief, read. I shan't quibble over the obvious scripting characterizations that seemed eye-rolling, namely the obnoxiously wishy-washy, hard-headed, and infuriatingly obtuse Khrisong, but I do have to question a characterization blurb in the beginning of the book concerning Victoria, which seems at complete odds to her actions and motivations in this adventure. Described as "forever an unwilling adventurer", this assertion is absolutely rubbish as we read, not once, not twice, but repeatedly, as Victoria acts the instigator, indeed pushy, of daring explorations and actions. Heck, we even have a spot where brave Jamie is the one holding back with Victoria taunting him on. Forever an unwilling adventurer? Uh.. Perhaps those characterization blurbs where a standard addition by someone who never read the individual books or... or who knows, but I dare say it behooves the reader to mentally toss that particular point aside. Aside from that, an overall enjoyable, quick read for catching all those unavailable serials (or simply mind-numbingly jacked up in price) A Great First Introduction to the Great Intelligence Dicks is one of the writers who added a new but permanent flavor to the Doctor Who mythology: the growing suspicion that the Doctor is something more than a little, charming, harmless little fellow. Dicks drops hints all over the book that makes the surviving episode trancsripts all the more enjoyable. There are lots of little chuckles for the reader--the Doctor finding Yeti footprints but deciding to go on and fulfil his 300-year old promise to the monks (he congratulates himself on his self-control). One nice recurring theme with the Second Doctor's novelizations is the sense of creeping dread. This Doctor is often maligned as being panicky. The novelizations explain that this Doctor has a sixth sense that warns him of danger, and of evil...but he rarely knows the particulars and that adds to his unease. Rather than jump into trouble, he tries first to avoid it; he wants his young friends safe.

Doctor Who: The Deviant Strain Audiobook by Justin Richards

Title: Doctor Who: The Deviant Strain Author: Justin Richards Narrator: Stuart Milligan Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 3 mins Language: English Release date: 10-05-11 Publisher: BBC Worldwide Limited Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 45 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Doctor Who Publisher's Summary: Stuart Milligan reads this thrilling adventure featuring the Ninth Doctor, Rose and Captain Jack. The Novrosk Peninsula: the Soviet naval base has been abandoned, the nuclear submarines are rusting and rotting. Cold, isolated, forgotten.Until the Russian Special Forces arrive - and discover that the Doctor and his companions are here too. But there is something else in Novrosk. Something that pre-dates even the stone circle on the cliff top. Something that is at last waking, hunting, killing.... Can the Doctor and his friends stay alive long enough to learn the truth? With time running out, they must discover who is really responsible for the Deviant Strain... .Featuring the Doctor as played by Christopher Eccleston, together with Rose and Captain Jack as played by Billie Piper and John Barrowman in the hit series from BBC Television. Members Reviews: As some of the others have said ... This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? Anyone with a tin ear who can't tell a decent accent from a lousy one. Would you recommend Doctor Who: The Deviant Strain to your friends? Why or why not? No. Anyone who's never listened to Doctor Who books before would be put off for good, and anyone who has listened before would be appalled. How could the performance have been better? The voices of Doctor Who characters are very, very well known to their fans. Not all narrators attempt to capture each character's voice, and fair enough. Stuart Milligan *attempts* it, but does not succeed. His accents are all over the board -- the Russians sound more like Mexicans, Rose sometimes has the same accent as the Doctor, and the Doctor, well, he sounded more like a caricature of an Englishman. Milligan's intonational patterns were likewise bizarre, as if he were reading the book for the first time aloud and didn't realize how the sentence was going to end. I don't want to be harsh, but as an aficionado of audio books and Doctor Who books in particular, it just wasn't good enough, and I will not listen to Milligan again. I have, however, listened to several other Justin Richards books and enjoyed them very much. This time, I really didn't, but I believe that's down to the performance more than the writing, although it's difficult to separate one from the other. What character would you cut from Doctor Who: The Deviant Strain? The narrator, sorry. Good story, TERRIBLE narrator Would you try another book from Justin Richards and/or Stuart Milligan? I would buy another Justin Richards book, but I would NEVER listen to Stuart Milligan ever again if he was the last audio reader on earth. How could the performance have been better? If someone, anyone else read it. Note to BBC Audio: NO MORE AMERICAN READERS! Any additional comments? I'm about two hours into the book and I had to stop and write this review - while I'm enjoying the story, I have to say that just because Captain Jack is in the book is absolutely no excuse for having an American reader. Especially one who has hands down the WORST British and Russian accents humanly possible. The fact that he's even trying to do accents is an insult to accents everywhere.

On a remote human colony planet, under the cover of a protective dome, young Diana Winter summons the TARDIS. Brought to her side by the power of a mysterious calling card, the Doctor and Clara are given one of their unlikeliest assignments yet. Yet it is one that will have far-reaching consequences.... Many years later, on the homeworld of the alien Golhearn, the time travellers once again meet Diana - but this time the stakes are much higher. The Golhearns savage madness is threatening to destroy their own civilisation, and Diana has a personal reason to call for the Doctor once again. Is he willing to assist, or must Clara go it alone? Can anyone discover the cause of the monstrous insanity that threatens them all? Clare Higgins, who played Ohila in the Doctor Who mini-episode "Night of the Doctor", reads this thrilling original adventure by James Goss, part of the Tales of Winter quartet of stories. Members Reviews: A lovely mystery with many interesting character insights James Goss continues to delight with this Twelfth Doctor story. A well-woven tale with many mysteries layered upon one another. Looking forward to the next installment. Nice to get these characters together again What did you love best about Doctor Who: The Gods of Winter? Since it's been two years since we got to have the Doctor and Clara together, it was nice to hear them having a story together again (though I know this came out a while ago). It satisfied that particular itch and I'm glad it came from a writer like Goss, who I've enjoyed before. Plus, grumpy-12 is pretty much the best 12 and we get more of that in this story. Clara got to have moments of being the quick-witted and on-the-ball companion that I've always loved about her character and have missed having in the show. What other book might you compare Doctor Who: The Gods of Winter to and why? I've really enjoyed James Goss's work with Doctor Who novels, since he just nails the tone and voice really well. The Blood Cell is a great entry from him that mixes things up a little bit with how it tells the story. What about Clare Higginss performance did you like? Hearing anyone attempt to talk like 12 brings me joy, but she was a solid performer and narrator. Any additional comments? It's a nice nugget of a story and just satisfying to listen to. Satisfied the itch I've had for some 12 'n Clara adventures. it isnt the Doctor reading but it is a good story Narrator did a good job, especially voicing the Doctor, but I have been spoiled by the David Tennant books. Story is good as well Throw away title, throw away book. Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? Depends on the friend. I find any situation where the title of the book is miss matched completely to the content to be garbage throw away fiction, but the ending was cute so if someone was a big enough fan I could see them reading it. What could James Goss have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? Make it a short story. There was not enough too it to be as long as it was. I had a hard time caring about anything the characters were doing because they were so flat.

What is the secret of the ancient tree and the book discovered tangled in its roots? What rises from the local churchyard at night, sealing up the lips of the only witness? Why are the harmless trappings of Halloween taking on a creepy new life of their own? As nightmarish creatures prowl the streets, the Doctor and Martha must battle to prevent both the townspeople and themselves from suffering a grisly fate. Featuring the Doctor and Martha as played by David Tennant and Freema Agyeman in the hit series from BBC Television, the story is read by Will Thorp, who played Toby Zed in the TV episodes The Impossible Planet and The Satan Pit. Members Reviews: A Doctor Who Halloween - Good for Pre and Tweens I love the Doctor and Martha together, even though I hate that she's the Rebound-Companion during their time together during the series. I'm glad that most of the books don't feature much of the stupid romance forced into the show. This is definitely a Halloween story. Pumpkin-esqe creatures, a small town celebrating a Halloween-like holiday, and enough black cats to make you start looking around for witches. It's fun, it has some good action scenes, but the villains don't really seem all that threatening. Also, the townspeople are pretty much stereotypes, right down to the one sensible old woman living in the woods. Martha doesn't have enough to do in my opinion and the Doctor being captured doesn't add any tension. It just makes you wonder how long until he clevers his way out and saves the day. It was predictable and lacked the real tension I crave in Doctor Who stories. But I did like the climax and it is a very good story for younger children during Halloween. The narrator did a job performing the story. It was always clear which characters were speaking and his villainous Pumpkin sounded great!

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Doctor Who Publisher's Summary: An unabridged reading of this novelisation of a classic 1960s TV adventure for the First Doctor, as played by William Hartnell. Following a skirmish in deep space, two alien spacecraft have crash landed on a barren planet in Galaxy Four. The Drahvins are a race of beautiful females, led by the imperious Maaga. The Rills are hideous tusked monstrosities, accompanied by their robotic servants, the Chumblies. When the Doctor arrives with Vicki and Steven in tow, he discovers that the planet will explode in two days' time. The Drahvins desperately ask for his help in escaping the planet and the belligerent Rills. But things are not always as they seem.... Members Reviews: A story that doesn't stand the test of time William Emms adapts his own script in this novelisation. The fundamental message of this story is that "beauty is only skin deep". The TARDIS arrives on an unnamed planet, where they have an odd encounter with a robot, named by Vicki as a Chumbly, before being captured by abgroup oif female warriors known as the Drahvins. The Drahvins claim that the planet will self-destruct in a few days time, and seek the assistance of the TARDIS crew in defeating another downed spacecarft of aliens, the Rills, who have managed to repair their ship. They prompt the travelklers by holding one of them hostage against the success of the mission. While casting good-looking women as villains may have not been very copmmon in 1965, it is so old hat by now that what may have been surprises when the show was broadcast will surprise no one these days. This is not greatly assisted by William Emms uninspiring adaptation. Hidden Gem! This was a very fun little read. If you love Doctor Who and enjoy the 1st Doctor and his companions you will enjoy this! I'm not sure what the other reviewers were looking for, this is not meant to be fine literature, but FUN DOCTOR WHO! It has succeeded at this in my opinion. I suggest reading this and then when the missing episode finally gets released you can see what it looked like on screen! The recovery of the missing episode meant that we have seen the aliens for the first time since the original broadcast, you can find screen caps online if you want to first.

The Doctor and Ace have arrived behind the Iron Curtain, and the Soviet Union is seeking a new weapon that will give it mastery in the Cold War. What is the secret of the Martian relics? As the legendary War Lord Sezhyr returns to life, the Doctor is faced with some of his oldest and deadliest enemies. The fate of Earth - and the future of Ace - are now intertwined.... Members Reviews: Five Stars Great audio episode Welcome to the Cold War Thin Ice is a Cold War story set in 1967 that also features the Ice Warriors. The story works on a few levels. The heist story which dominates the first two episodes is a lot of fun, and there are some very superb guest performances. Ricky Groves is superb as the lovable rogue Marcus Creevy. Beth Chalmers has a great turn as Raina and then becomes the leader of the Ice Warriors. Nick Briggs really makes the Ice Warrior Hhesh into a wonderfully sympathetic character. (As he would later do in another lost story, Lords of the Red Planet.) I even thought the music worked in evoking the 1980s while being an upgrade over so many of the lesser scores that aired on Doctor Who during the McCoy era. The plot of Ace being evaluated for the Academy was the more iffy part of the production. There were a lack of clear motivations for the Doctor not having told her and the Time Lord process seemed a bit ill-defined. However, her reaction to it worked, particularly when she has a dramatic confrontation with the Doctor. Still, the end of the story was a bit of a disappointment. The story's ending had radically changed from the 1980s, but like it was building up to something and then went another direction. Overall though, a solid and enjoyable story in its own right despite a few problems.

The military dismiss his account of events - the sphere must be a new German secret weapon that has malfunctioned. What else could it be? Arriving amid the chaos, the Doctor and Ace embark on a trail that brings them face to face with hidden Nazi agents and some very old enemies.... Members Reviews: Quintessential 7th Doctor Would you consider the audio edition of Doctor Who: Illegal Alien to be better than the print version? Difficult to say to be fair. But let me say this. I was never a fan of Sophie Aldred or Ace in the show. That said Sophie Aldred is fantastic as a storyteller. She brings this to life effortlessly, so much so that the story not her vocal takes the lead. She only becomes, for want of a better word, visible, when she is being Ace. All this tells me she has talents we were never given an opportunity to see. Amazing job. If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be? London 1940, The blitz is the last thing you should be frightened of. Nazis. Ace. Cybermen. Interesting combination of foes. Sophie is actually a really good voice actor. However, I had a chuckle when she accidentally made Sylvester McCoy's doctor sound German... a rare error. Towards the end of the story when the action hots up and due to the growing number of German army characters, additional concentration is required to work out who reports to who, and to follow the German characters storylines. Worth the read for any doctor who fan.

Davros has been given the chance to redeem himself. Humanity stands on the verge of a new era, but it needs the help of the galaxy's greatest ever scientist. But Davros is dead...isn't he?

A sensible range of characters: enough to ensure variety, not so many that it's confusing who's who. I was also taken by the amount of nuance. Besides Davros himself, there are people who are ruthless without being evil for evil's sake. Who was your favorite character and why? After the Doctor himself, Davros. And this surprised the heck out of me. I'm quite rare among Doctor Who fans in that I think Genesis of the Daleks - the story that introduced Davros - is pretty poor. Davros dies at the end of his debut story, and I really hate it when characters are brought back from the dead. And honestly, what's he got going for him? He's a man in a mask whose wheelchair happens to be the lower part of a Dalek. And he rants a lot. I avoided getting this play for years, partly because of this. But as it turns out, not only is he fleshed out as a character, but his backstory seems much more interesting than it did before. I actually might enjoy Genesis of the Daleks if I ever watch it again. Well, maybe not go that far... Which scene did you most enjoy? I especially enjoyed the flashbacks to pre-Dalek Skaro. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? Not wanting to give too much away, but there's a moment when Davros does *not* deliver a tedious, "Ha ha I was lying all along, I'm actually really evil!" What we get instead is much more satisfying. Any additional comments? This play is primarily for Doctor Who fans. If you've never heard of the Daleks before, this probably won't mean much to you. On the other hand you don't have to be steeped in Who lore to enjoy it.

Written by the programme's original story editor, David Whitaker, it is narrated by the character of Ian Chesterton, one of the first ever TARDIS companions. Now, in an exclusive recording, the actor who played Ian on television, William Russell, reads the complete and unabridged novelisation. Members Reviews: Terrifying journey to Danger! Having this title on VHS and DVD formats, was was interested in its audio book rendition. What a fantastic narrative piece, ably realised by one time companion William Russel who played Ian Chesterson oppersite William Hartnell's 1st Dr Who. It is interesting to note the story is not exact to the tv version which for me is all the better as the characterisations are wholly fleshed out and William Russells 1st Dr vocals is a gem to be behold, not so the Dalek voices, but i quibble. Thoroughly enjoble i recommend all Dr Who titles read by William Russel for an airing. Superb 10/10 Exterminate! My first Doctor Who audio book and what a treat! Especially the first half of the story is very entertaining and is able to perform a smooth transition from Victorian England to a far away foreign planet, inhabited by ... DALEKS! I believe this is the Doctors first encounter with his archenemies. A must read for any Doctor Who fan.

Materialising in Outer Space, the TARDIS is attacked by a missile fired from the dark side of the moon. Back on Earth, the newly-formed United Nations Intelligence Taskforce (UNIT), led by Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, is disturbed by a series of UFO sightings over Southern England. Meanwhile, a large consigment of mysterious crates is delivered to the headquarters of International Electromatix, the largest computer and electronics firm in the world. These three seemingly unconnected events are in fact the preparations for a massive Cyberman invasion of Earth, with one aim: the total annihilation of the human race. Duration: 5 hours approx. Members Reviews: What an amazing adaptation This sent shivers down my spine hearing Pats son speaking his dad's lines. This a perfect adaptation of Ian Marter's story a thoroughly recommendable audible release A cracking good listen! David Troughton's narration is great - his voice very reminicent of his much missed father. Marter's gritty interpretation of the story is fabulous. I recommend. Just far too many '-ily' words What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? Great voice acting and production but I just could not get past the poor prose. he said, menacingly. she looked Icily. he said darkly, rightly, sinisterly, innocently and so on. The worst for me was 'she glanced at the photos admiringly.' Why couldn't it have been simply (oh no, now I'm doing it) 'She admired the photographs.' yes, the novel is unabridged but it grates so....so...jarringly? PS over use of Avderbs is a personal pet peeve and this is just ridiculous! Has Doctor Who: Cybermen - the Invasion put you off other books in this genre? Anything by Ian Marter. You didnt love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities? The voice acting was superlative. Any additional comments? Maybe I'm being a fool, he said solemnly. But I just wish i could refund this! Action packed Well read by David Troughtin. Looking fir help to repair some TARDIS circuits, The Doctor finds a conspiracy fronted by a multinational electronics firm. Kidnap, espionage, murder and mayhem with a final pitched battle against the invaders. A welcome return of UNIT led by The Brigadier (first appeared fighting the Yeti ) as military firepower. Silver Lining of Adventure This audio version is fantastic, Troughtin Jnr is a great reader. 10/10

Title: Doctor Who - The Lost Stories - Crime of the Century Author: Andrew Cartmel Narrator: Sylvester McCoy, Ricky Groves, Beth Chalmers Format: Original Recording Length: 2 hrs and 22 mins Language: English Release date: 04-05-17 Publisher: Big Finish Productions Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Doctor Who Publisher's Summary: The year is 1989. In London, safecracker Raine Creevy breaks into a house - and finds more than the family jewels. In the Middle East, the kingdom of Sayf Udeen is being terrorised by Soviet invaders and alien monsters. And on the Scottish border, a highly guarded facility contains an advanced alien weapon. These are all part of the Doctor's masterplan. But masterplans can go awry.... Directed by Ken Bentley. Members Reviews: It's Not a Crime Crime of the Century introduces Raine as a companion of the Seventh Doctor. The first scene she's in is absolutely brilliant safe cracking scene which leads into a solid first epiosde. Raine is an interesting character. The rest of the story doesn't quite live up to this strong beginning and seems to struggle to have any focus at all. There's a war, and there's a sword to deliver to a prince, ,there's alien warrior bugs, and there's a weapon behind some robot guards in a safe. Indeed, the referenced "Crime of the Century" is a throw away line by Marcus Creevy about a stock market crash that is mentioned in episode one and explained towards the middle of episode four. However, despite the helter skelter nature of the script, the story is quite enjoyable. The cast is very strong with great chemistry. The Metatraxi are a well-realized and fun alien species, helped by the Doctor's assistance with their translating devices. John Banks turns in a good performance. While the plot could have been more coherent, this story features enough quirky fun to make for an entertaining couple of hours.

In a distant galaxy, the Tsar and Tsarina rule over the Robotov Empire from the safety of their palace, whilst human workers tend the power plants on satellite moons. When the Doctor arrives with Mrs Wibbsey, his identity is immediately mistaken, and the Tsarina believes that her old ally, Father Gregory, has returned. But when the Palace comes under attack, the Tsar suspects him of treachery. Meanwhile, Mrs Wibbsey discovers that dark secrets are lurking in the shadows of one satellite moon. Far more than mere human rebellion is being planned, and Father Gregory is not operating alone. His actions will set off a chain of events with long-lasting consequences for the Doctor and Mrs Wibbsey With Tom Baker as the Doctor, Susan Jameson as Mrs Wibbsey, Michael Jayston as the Tsar, Suzy Aitchison as the Tsarina, Simon Shepherd as Boolin, Sam Hoare as Lucius, and Paul Chequer, Grant Gillespie and Gabriel Vick as the Servo Robots and the rebels, Tsar Wars is the first of five linked stories written by Paul Magrs. Members Reviews: Tom Baker returns. The author of these stories must be a real Tom Baker fan. For starters he took the plot line of this mini series from one of Tom Baker films, he did before he took on the role of the Doctor. The movie was Nicolas and Alexander, where he played Rasputin the the mad monk. The character Father Gregory is very much like Rasputin. Tom Baker gets to play both the Doctor and Gregory. Also some of the plot is the same. Instead of peasants vs royals in the movie, it's humans vs robots. Theirs more to story line then that, so recommend you listen to the mini series to get the whole plot line. I hope the rest of the series is good.

Title: Doctor Who Subtitle: The Story of Martha - The Frozen Wastes Author: Robert Shearman Narrator: Freema Agyeman Format: Unabridged Length: 42 mins Language: English Release date: 06-11-09 Publisher: BBC Worldwide Limited Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 69 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Doctor Who Publisher's Summary: It tells of Martha's travels from her arrival on Earth as the Toclafane attacked and decimated the population through to her return to Britain to face the Master. It tells how she spread the word and told people about the Doctor. The story of how she survived that terrible year.... Featuring the Doctor and Martha as played by David Tennant and Freema Agyeman in the hit series from BBC Television, The Story of Martha is read by Freema Agyeman. Members Reviews: Feels incomplete A really good supplement to the Doctor Who series 3 episodes The Sound of Drums and The Last of the Time Lords. This Doctor-lite novel really ties together both of the stories and tells the reader what her journey was like, and the stories she told and not to forget the hope that she gave the people. I fell that it was a little too short and that they could have come up the other six months of her journey. Wish there was more. The insight into Martha's walk of the earth was fascinating, but I wish there was more. The breaks from the Year That Never Was when Martha told stories were a bit long and disconnected me from what was happening. All in all, though, it was a great read and I enjoyed it very much. Collaboration of Authors Creates Great Story This book gives the story line a bit more depth and the characters more life. I found the collaboration of well-known authors in one book a wonderful way to tell the same story with different writing styles. The episodes this book was based off of was one of my favorites. The fact that the authors decided to further the relationship between the characters and their lives was brilliant in the way they pulled it off. I wouldn't change anything about the book. Less than I'd hoped I was really looking forward to reading this, since I expected that Dan Abnett would do a great job of filling in stories of Martha's year of traveling the Earth. But I feel a bit disappointed: there is less substance to the story than it could have had. I understand that it is a collaboration of several authors, which accounts for the slightly different styles of the segments, but those authors could have been more imaginative in their ideas of what happened to Martha, rather than flashbacks to her adventures with the Doctor. seriously awesome! :D I loved this book. It goes best by having seen the first few episodes that all sort of join together, then read the book, then watch how the doctor and martha and jack saved the day. I enjoyed the book immensely and the beginning and the end are where the show begins, to help you figure out which episode to watch after you have read the book.

Twenty years later, and the only proof Tarkov ever existed is a garbled message, calling for help. But no one is listening. Directed by Nicholas Briggs. Members Reviews: A rough start We start out this story with a brief recap from Suz, reminding us of her place in the Dalek Empire, as supposed host of the Dalek Emperor. From there, we jump forward many years, to when the Daleks have, once more, been forgotten. Rumors of their return have started to spread, and the last survivor of the Dalek Invasion is sought out from the depths of space. Tacked on is the introduction of our new cast, employees of a sort of space nature preserve, who find the protected ecology of their planet of study under threat from a sudden alien invasion. I'm not sure where this new section of the Dalek Empire series is going, but it really feels like we should have stopped at the second set. A whole new cast has been introduced, and I'm finding it hard to care for them, after so long with the old players. Great Opening This opening in the third Dalek Empire series starts off strong. The story is mostly set up but it's very well-done set up as we're introduced to a cast across the galaxy, each set to play a different part. It establishes a very solid sense of mystery even though we know that ultimately the Daleks are behind what's happening. Having the Daleks lurk in the shadows for most of the episode is a nice change from the grand invasions of the prior sets. The sound design is exquisite and a major step up from prior releases.

History is leaking like a sieve. In the Citadel of Gallifrey, the Time Lords fear the end of everything that is, everything that was...everything that will be. The Doctor holds the Time Lords' only hope - but exactly what lengths will the Celestial Intervention Agency go to in their efforts to retrieve something important from within his TARDIS? What has caused Imperiatrix Romanadvoratrelundar to declare war on the rest of creation? And can an old nursery rhyme about a monster called Zagreus really be coming true? The answers can be found only outside the bounds of the universe itself, in a place that history forgot. In the waste grounds of eternity. In the Neverland. Written by Alan Barnes and directed by Gary Russell. Members Reviews: awesome I just loved It! Paul Mcgann is my favourite Doctor! It was a really fun concept and they tackled it really well! Drama!!! but at what cost? The drama is excellent but the story doesn't completely hang together. Not quite as good as the independent pieces big finish has made.

But not everyone wants the war to end. Who is the little girl who haunts the castle? Who is the hooded figure that watches from the shadows? And what is the secret of the legendary Mortal Mirror? ©2007 Justin Richards; (P)2008 BBC Audiobooks Ltd Members Reviews: Mixed Feelings, Atmosphere, and Shattered Hope Would you try another book from Justin Richards and/or Freema Agyeman? I think the reader was great, and I might give Justin Richards another try, but the lack of explanation and payoff for the original concept is frustrating. Has Doctor Who turned you off from other books in this genre? No, I'm still interested in the scifi genre as a whole, and I still like doctor who. Would you listen to another book narrated by Freema Agyeman? Her acting chops show off well, and I've already tried other books read by her and found her range to my liking. If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Doctor Who? I'm not sure that I'd cut anything from this work. Rather I'd want to add more things. The initial weird moment really needs a payoff that the story is lacking, and some external agency besides the warring concerns of the reptiles and humanoids. Any additional comments? I still don't understand why a the mirror created a glass duplicate at the start, or what those hostile dopplegangers were doing. Good Great book, worth a listen. The only problem is her voice. it goes loud to quite so often I have to keep turning it down because it hurts my ears.

For the Doctor, there are mysteries to solve: what are the alien creatures imprisoned in the science labs? And what are the true motives of the student Scobie and his followers? With enemies on all sides, the Doctor teams up with his old friend Brigadier Bambera and the forces of UNIT in a battle for the future of the whole world. Directed By: Ken Bentley. Members Reviews: Bamberra Returns This story features the return of Brigadier Bamberra and also introduces the alien species know as the Numlocks. The Numlocks are a great species for audio with a very distinct way of speaking and are realized by John Banks. Angela Bruce is good as Brigadier Bamberra, sounding pretty much the same as she did when she played the role on television. In some way, this release is a tale of two halves. The first two episodes seemed to be a bit padded and the setting of the Doctor looking for an on-campus eco-terrorist was a little bland. To be honest, I think this would have worked better as a three party. However, the second half is extremely fun with some great comedic moments, as well as some clever sci fi twists. Overall, another fairly solid McCoy lost story.

Title: Doctor Who Subtitle: The Myth Makers Author: Donald Cotton Narrator: William Hartnell, Peter Purves, full cast Format: Original Recording Length: 1 hr and 40 mins Language: English Release date: 01-19-05 Publisher: BBC Worldwide Limited Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 22 votes Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Doctor Who Publisher's Summary: The Doctor has adopted many guises in his time, but to be hailed as the great god Zeus is a bit of a shock. Yet this is exactly what happens when the TARDIS lands on the plains of Asia Minor, not far from the city of Troy. Taken to the Greek camp by Achilles, the Doctor is introduced to Agamemnon and Odysseus and forced to admit his less¿than¿godlike status. He is then given just two days to come up with a strategy for defeating the Trojans. Meanwhile, Steven and Vicki have been taken prisoner by the other side. The Trojans are convinced that Vicki is a spy, and to prove her loyalty she must concoct a plan to defeat the Greeks! Like the Doctor, she has just two days to do it. Luckily for the Doctor, a certain someone has already devised a scheme for beating the Trojans. Even if the wooden horse was invented for a piece of fiction written in the eighth century, it still works. As the opposing forces come face to face in a climactic battle, there are dangers aplenty for both Steven and Vicki. By the time the TARDIS moves away again, it will have both lost and gained a crew member. Members Reviews: Myths come true. Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes I would. Anyone who likes myths and fantasy sports. What other book might you compare Doctor Who to and why? Doctor Who and the Romans. Doctor Who and the Gunfighters. Have you listened to any of the narratorss other performances before? How does this one compare? Yes I have. Peter Purvas is a great narator. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Myths come to life. Any additional comments? This was a great story full of enough humor and drama and action to make anybody enjoy this book. A cheeky yet intelligent look at legend With the Doctor more associated with other worlds, future societies and daleks, the historial stories are often sadly overlooked. This one is an absolute gem. Paying reverent tribute to the Greeky myths, this one has a lot to recommend: humour, drama and emotion. You don't need to know your Illiad or your Shakespeare but if you do, you'll delight in the way the writers have fleshed out the characters and story, making this a more historical interpretation of legend. Best of all, this audio version flows nicely in the mind, with the narration covering everything nicely without affecting the pace or leaving the listener confused. Also, given the change to the Tardis' line-up, this is an essential story for all Doctor Who fans. And as nothing but a few paltry clips survive, it's this or the novelisation.

At a time in the far-off future, Earth has become uninhabitable. A selection of humanity is placed, deep-frozen, in a fully automated space station to await the day of their return to Earth. Thousands of years later, the Doctor arrives with his companions, Sarah and Harry, and finds things going suspiciously wrong. The station is under attack from the giant Wirrn, deadly creatures who, in their lust for power, now threaten the future of the whole human race. Jon Culshaw reads this unabridged novelisation written by Ian Marter, who played Harry Sullivan in the original BBC TV series. Members Reviews: Re: Culshaw is terrific with amazing voice acting. If you could sum up Doctor Who and the Ark in Space in three words, what would they be? If you are a fan of Tom Baker-era Dr. Who and the many classic stories of that era, then you will love the two audiobooks narrated and voice-acted by Jon Culshaw. He does a spot-on, warmhearted, and accurate impression that often makes me laugh out loud in its exacting precision and care. All the nuances in the line readings are there and they are just wonderful. Not to go on and on but it's almost like stumbling into a local bar and discovering the most incredible cover band ever with members who clearly have a love for the material and who are clearly fans themselves. Listening to this audiobook brought back memories of my latch-key youth when the local PBS station would run two episodes back to back and I could imagine being whisked off into time and space with my first crush Elizabeth Sladen. I would pay 2x as much for this wonderfully-realized nostalgic audio presentations. They are even surprisingly superior than the Dr. Who audio adaptations where cast members read a somewhat flat narration from the original episode's stage direction that is tarted up with a few sounds effects from that actual episode. In summary, these two Baker-era Culshaw books are far, far superior to those and in my opinion just terrific. Have you listened to any of Jon Culshaws other performances before? How does this one compare? First-rate. Any additional comments? Please commission more of these Tom Baker-era classic episodes with full sound effects to be read by Jon Culshaw. In addition to spending millions of dollars on new, original Amazon Video productions, I would respectfully argue that these far less-expensive Jon Culshaw Dr. Who adaptations would bring Audible members of a certain age, far more appreciation and enjoyment. Wonderful classic 4th Doctor (is there really any other?) Bug eyed space monsters, a seemingly dead ship floating in space and alien machines working at cross puropses Brilliant Culshaw. Jon Culshaw excels again in this Doctor Who reading. His narration fully conveys the menace and disturbing nature of the story. Highly recommended.

Members Reviews: For Completists Only This final play works really only as a nostalgia piece and Big Finish deserves credit for making it available for fans and even getting the original actor to play the Doctor (Trevor Martin) and the daughter of the actress who played Jenny (Charlie Hayes) to come back. Still, as production, it's definitely the weakest of the stage plays. Essentially, it's a script laden with Doctor Who clichés that was worth seeing when it was produced in the 1970s because of the visual spectacle it offered for families watching the show on stage. The companions present particular issues. Jimmy is probably the least likable idea for a companion forever. And the scene where they have the Doctor express how he much appreciates these people he meant an hour ago seems a bit silly, though since this is a new regeneration, I guess that could be part of this alternate Doctor's personality. Overall, this isn't horrible, but this release is for nostalgia and Doctor Who completists.
