    Duke and Earl are just passing through Rockwood county in their pick-up truck when they stop at the Diner for a quick bite to eat. They aren't planning to stick around-until Loretta, the eatery's owner, offers them $100 to take care of her zombie problem. Given that Duke is a werewolf and Earl's a vampire, this looks right up their alley.But the shambling dead are just the tip of a particularly spiky iceberg.

    Made for a pleasant ride to NYC for me and my wife during Thanksgiving Day. An easy book to listen to. Don't expect Steven King, more like Cthulu lite. Quite amusing.

    Story
    Would you consider the audio edition of Shattered Hourglass to be better than the print version?

    The same narrator for the last 2 books, and he definitely adds something to it beyond a print version


    What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

    It was great to continue the story line from the last 2 books, but some clichéd additions pertaining to the power behind the scenes was a little weak.


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

    Definitely would have wanted to do this in 1 sessions, but it's better spread out


    Any additional comments?

    PLEASE write another book, back to diary style!

    After being murdered by a mystery assailant, navigating his way through the realm between life and death, and being brought back to the mortal world, Harry realizes that maybe death wasn’t all that bad - because he is no longer Harry Dresden, Chicago’s only professional wizard. He is now Harry Dresden, Winter Knight to Mab, the Queen of Air and Darkness. After Harry had no choice but to swear his fealty, Mab wasn’t about to let something as petty as death steal away the prize she had sought for so long.

    Story
    Would you listen to Cold Days again? Why?

    A fantastic return to the mortal world for our favorite supernatural P.I. Harry Dresden. In typical Harry fashion, he has no time to sit on his heels as he hits the ground running as soon as he returns to Chicago. Great listen, Marsters does an outstanding job as usual. Great seeing most of the old gang back in action, and seeing how they react to Harry being alive (again). The action was pretty crazy, although a few times here and there it seemed these last minute escapes by Harry to win the day were a bit too...convenient? No spoilers of course, nor did it decrease my massive enjoyment of this book by any means, just an aside. This is a fantastic series. My only sadness is that I have to wait another year or 2 for the next one.


    What did you like best about this story?

    A storyline that comes to a conclusion, and the ominuous beginnings of a new one.


    What about James Marsters’s performance did you like?

    Great chracterization and voice used for each of the characters, and I can totally see Harry sounding as Marsters portrays him.


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

    Hell yeah.

  • Gemma | [Meg Tilly]

    Gemma is the story of a child abduction written from two widely divergent points of view: 12 year-old Gemma and Hazen Wook, the 36-year-old man who abducts her. Hazen is a violent pedophile, a sexual obsessive, and Tilly does not white-wash or sanitize his thoughts in any way. This book is scary and not for the faint of heart.

    Story

    I bought this book hoping it would keep me awake during a longish road trip - I was not disappointed. The material is disturbingly graphic in its description of the horrors heaped on the main character. What was uplifting was listening to Gemma create methods of coping in a horrific scenario. At times I felt it dragged a little in the length, especially at the 3/4 mark. Meg Tilly was at first a little annoying as a reader, but I quickly got used to her style. Be prepared to squirm in your seat, and laugh at the few moments of brightness and creativity that Gemma can come up with. Go Boxcar!
