    As night falls, Claire Roth flees, driven from her home by a fiery threat that seems to come from hell itself. Then, from out of the flames and ash, a vampire warrior emerges. He is Andreas Reichen, her onetime lover, now a stranger consumed by vengeance. Caught in the cross fire, Claire cannot escape his savage fury---or the hunger that plunges her into his world of eternal darkness and unending pleasure.

    When I was growin up, we had the AM radio with the weekly radio series. Whether it was
    "Sky King", "Straight Arrow", "The Shadow" or "The Inner Sanctum", every week for a time we could loose ourselves in the stories. As I listen to one of the Night Breed stories, I have the same since of enjoyment. That's why I would recommend this audiobook to anyone
    Andreau Rankin never stopped his love of the woman of his dreams, but ran away in an attempt to protect her, from what? This series is a favorite of mine and never fails to deliver fantastic adventure. Hillary Huber brings these stories to life with her superb performance and as always delivers a top shelf job.
    I definately recommend this book and if you've not read them before, start at book one, because this will give you more insight into the utter humanity of each of the characters.

    As a cassandra sangue, or blood prophet, Meg Corbyn can see the future when her skin is cut - a gift that feels more like a curse. Meg's Controller keeps her enslaved so he can have full access to her visions. But when she escapes, the only safe place Meg can hide is at the Lakeside Courtyard - a business district operated by the Others. Shape-shifter Simon Wolfgard is reluctant to hire the stranger who inquires about the Human Liaison job.

    If you could sum up Written in Red in three words, what would they be?

    Entertaining, Imaginable and Fantastically mind blowing!


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    My favorite character is Simon because he tries so hard to just not care about humans.


    What does Alexandra Harris bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    This is the first book I've listened too by Alexandra Harris and and I have to say she does a fantastic job giving the characters a way to leap up and out of the story.


    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

    When the Human Liason was delivering mail to the vampires.

    Twenty years after the terror of First Dawn - when mankind learned that vampires lived secretly among them - the threat of violence reigns as the two species struggle to coexist. The only group preserving the fragile harmony is the Order, an elite cadre of Breed warriors dedicated to protecting humans and vampires alike. And in this precarious world of torn loyalties and shattered trust, Mira, a fiery squad captain, finds that every fight bears an intensely personal cost. Raised among the Order, Mira has always believed in the warrior’s code of swift - and even lethal - justice.

    Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

    Yes, I have read every book on the breed by Lara Adrian and I have never been disappointed. It seems she just keeps getting better and better to the point I can hardly wait for the next in the series.I


    What other book might you compare Edge of Dawn to and why?

    Edger of Dawn might be closely compared to Darker after Midnight in that Dragos forces the warriors to come forward in order to protect "The Order" and Mankind.


    What about Hillary Huber’s performance did you like?

    Hillary Huber does a fantastic job with her performance every time. Using only the nuance of her voice and the spacing the characters each came alive.

Still, she can't help but be drawn to Aric, the ruggedly handsome wolf shifter who pleasures her as no man ever has - however fleeting their affair is destined to be.

    Leander McLoughlin is leader of the Ikati, an ancient tribe of beautiful, savage shape-shifters who live hidden in the forests of England. Their survival is rooted in secrecy, a secrecy threatened by the very existence of one raised outside the tribe. Charged with capturing her before she can expose their secret, Leander tracks the unsuspecting outsider to Southern California. The great warrior is prepared for a fight — but not for the effect the courageous young beauty has on his heart.

    What did you love best about Shadow's Edge?

    This is the start of a new series and one I'll possibly never forget. I had the smug attitude of the Alpha to the flippancy of Morgan, not to mention all the multitude of talants Jenna brought into the mix. I CAN HARDLY WAIT FOR MOVE VOLUMES OF THIS SERIES TO COME OUT!!!!!!!!


    What did you like best about this story?

    The part I liked best about this story was where it initially started out with the tribe alpha, who was so full of hisself , discovering that this half-blood named Jenna had the power to reign him in. Not with just her mystical powers, but with her courage, her tenderness and her insatiable way of connecting with others.


    Which scene was your favorite?

    My favorite scene was when Jenna discovered she was in love with the alpha.while floating in vapor form over the jungle.


    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

    When it was discovered that Jenna wasn't just the Alpha's mate, but her races queen. When she could close her eyes and tell where every member of her tribe were located!

    "After Tex" ranks right up in the top 10 books I've listened to so far


    What other book might you compare After Tex to and why?

    I don't believe I've ever read a comparable book to After Texk, because of te ways it touches the heart and shows just how very much the values we grow up with assist us through life.


    What does Christina Traister bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    Roundhouse Publishing editor Kate C. Leever’s first letter to her newest legacy author was intended to impress upon him the growing demand for his “vampire romances.” Though he’d expressed little to no desire for publicity, book tours or the like, it was clear that this was a writer waiting to be broken out. Correspondence with Mr. Lucern Aregeneau tended to be oddly delayed, but this time his response was quick and succinct.

    This is my favorite of the Argeneau series. The story was fantastic with all the little bits that when put together make for one entertaining story. It lays the ground work for who Lucern Argeaneau is and how complex e really is.

    I've been an Argeneau fan for a long time (Books 1 thru 18), so what's not to like. I definately would recommend ths took if you looking for a story that hold your interest. It has humor, romance and intrigue.


    What other book might you compare Immortal Ever After to and why?

    "The Reluctant Vampire" compares somewhat with the same person, Paula Christensen, performaning in both stories. The characters had life and were less mechanical.


    Which scene was your favorite?

    My favorite scene was when Anders told Valerie how he felt.


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    I tried to listen to this book all in one sitting, it was so arresting in interest.

    This book definately was a paranormal romance book with shifters, super sexy alpha males, kick-butt action, intrigue and behind the scenes politics. It had sex, humor, sex, lots of one liners and sex. Oh yes, did I mention the sex. This book is definately not for those who shy away from steamy sex scenes and off color (dirty) talk. It seemed like there was the initial sex scene and than continual sex scenes through most of the book, before the lead characters began to really get down and dirtier. Great narration and great one liners.
    It could have used more story to go along with the sex scenes, but over all, it was a fun listen.
