    What if there were teens whose lives literally depended on being bad influences? This is the reality for sons and daughters of fallen angels. Tenderhearted Southern girl Anna Whitt was born with the sixth sense to see and feel emotions of other people. She's aware of a struggle within herself, an inexplicable pull toward danger, but Anna, the ultimate good girl, has always had the advantage of her angel side to balance the darkness within. It isn't until she turns 16 and meets the alluring Kaidan Rowe that she discovers her terrifying heritage and her willpower is put to the test.

    What did you like best about Sweet Evil? What did you like least?

    I like that the main character pretty much stayed good. I like a character with principles and morals. The book was entertaining without with having to push limits.

    I didn't like all of the discussions on Kaidan's sex life. This book is geared towards teens and although I know Kaidan is supposed to be the epitome of a bad boy, I thought there was too much of him being a seducer. There's no way I'd be attracted to a guy that I knew was out having sex with other girls everyday and who's main focus is to get a girl naked.


    If you’ve listened to books by Wendy Higgins before, how does this one compare?

    This is the first I've read or listened to.


    How did the narrator detract from the book?

    Being from the south and having an actual southern accent, I found her accent to be over the top. I added this narrarator to my "do not listen" list. I got used to it and finished it and I'm even interested in the next book when it comes out, but I'll probably read it instead of listening.


    Could you see Sweet Evil being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

    Nah, the story is okay, but not compelling enough for filming.

    Would you try another book from Tracy Anne Warren and/or Bianca Amato?

    Yes, this was actually the 2nd one I listened to.


    What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

    I was happy with the way it ended.


    Was The Wedding Trap worth the listening time?

    Sure


    Any additional comments?

    This author doesn't hold back in the sex scenes. If you like a more clean read, I wouldn't listen to this one, the sex scenes are definitely explicit. Just a warning for those who prefer a more wholesome romance...

    Why we think it’s a great listen: An all-time Audible favorite that mixes historic fiction, adventure, and romance with one of the most fascinating literary devices: time travel. Outlander introduces an exhilarating world of heroism and breathtaking thrills as one woman is torn between past and present, passion and love. In 1945, former combat nurse Claire Randall returns from World War II and joins her husband for a second honeymoon. But their blissful reunion is shattered....

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

    Yes! I really enjoyed it! It had a bit of everything - fantasy, action, romance. The story intrigued me, I coudn't leave it alone.


    What was one of the most memorable moments of Outlander?

    There were so many, I can't narrow it down. I always enjoyed it when Clare stood up to all of the big strong men.


    Which scene was your favorite?

    I hate to really say since I don't want to spoil anything, but one of my favorite parts was after the wedding when they're getting to know each other and our hero is so sweet and considerate.

    With three of the goddess Durga's quests behind them, only one prophecy now stands in the way of Kelsey, Ren, and Kishan breaking the tiger's curse. But the trio's greatest challenge awaits them: A life-endangering pursuit in search of Durga's final gift, the Rope of Fire, on the Andaman Islands in the Bay of Bengal. It's a race against time - and the evil sorcerer Lokesh - in this eagerly anticipated fourth volume in the best-selling Tiger's Curse series.

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

    I highly recommend this whole series. I loved it so much I finished it and wasn't quite ready to let it go, so I listened again from the beginning. It has love, adventure, a little twist, and it kept my attention the whole time.


    What did you like best about this story?

    The whole story!


    Which character – as performed by Annika Boras – was your favorite?

    Phet. I laughed every time I heard her do his voice.


    Any additional comments?

    Don't miss out on this great series!

    Around the world, black handprints are appearing on doorways, scorched there by winged strangers who have crept through a slit in the sky. In a dark and dusty shop, a devil's supply of human teeth grown dangerously low. And in the tangled lanes of Prague, a young art student is about to be caught up in a brutal otherwordly war. Meet Karou. She fills her sketchbooks with monsters that may or may not be real; she's prone to disappearing on mysterious "errands"; she speaks many languages - not all of them human; and her bright blue hair actually grows out of her head that color.

    Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

    I just couldn't get into it. The story is between chimeras & seraphim and as much as I enjoy fantasy, I just couldn't relate to these characters. If you like scifi, this is probably more your scene.


    Has Daughter of Smoke and Bone turned you off from other books in this genre?

    Yes.


    What do you think the narrator could have done better?

    There wasn't anything wrong with the narration, it just wasn't a great story.


    Do you think Daughter of Smoke and Bone needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

    There is a follow-up, but I won't be reading/listening to it.


    Any additional comments?

    Don't waste your time.

    Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

    I had to listen to this at 1.5 speed because the reader was SOOOO slow. I think this book might have been better if I'd read it instead of listening to this performance. I would forego this one...


    What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

    Nothing shocking or amazing. It was satisfying enough, in fact, it's a part of a series but there was enough closure that I don't feel the need to read the next book.


    Could you see Rot & Ruin being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

    Not a good one.
