    After leaving Society and desperately searching for the Rising Cassia and Ky have found what they were looking for, but at the cost of losing each other yet again: Cassia has been assigned to work for the Rising from within Society, while Ky has been stationed outside its borders. In this gripping conclusion to the Matched Trilogy, Cassia will reconcile the difficulties of challenging a life too confining, seeking a freedom she never dreamed possible, and honoring a love she cannot live without.

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

    I would and already have recommended this collection of books by Ally Condie. Mostly because its a great story and set sometime in the future. So I recommend this book to people that like the dystopian genre of books.


    What other book might you compare Reached to and why?

    The Hunger Games, Delirium, Divergent, and Enclave. All of these books are dystopian in nature and have a great story lines that are packed full of adventure, rebellion, and love.


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

    I liked all 3 of the narrators. They all speak very clear and have calming voices.


    If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

    Would You Wait For Me?


    Any additional comments?

    This 3rd book of the series Matched was a great end to the trilogy. However, the author did leave it as a possible cliff hanger into a second series of adventure! This book was a little more slow and not as full of adventure as the first 2 books. It however was a treasure trove of information that answered many questions and tied mini story lines together. This was a great book to sit back and relax while listening to these 3 narrators.

    Kat Richardson excels at creating vivid, fast-moving novels that blend urban fantasy with paranormal mystery. In Greywalker, Seattle P.I. Harper Blaine is viciously attacked and murdered - but after exactly two minutes, somehow she returns to life. Now she's seeing strange things all around her - dark visions from the shadow world - and living a normal life may no longer be possible no matter how hard she tries.

    Would you consider the audio edition of Greywalker to be better than the print version?

    Yes, seeing as how hard it is at times to even follow the story in the audio version, I would think it would be even worse trying to read.


    What was one of the most memorable moments of Greywalker?

    Honestly nothing pops out at me. The whole story was a decent story but didn't leave me feeling like I had to finish the book all in one sitting. It felt slow and kind of boring. Also the writer left me feeling lost.


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

    She did a wonderful job. Poor girl had to read this poorly written book and make it sound half interesting. The reader was the only reason why I finished the book. That and because I bought all 10 books in a sale.


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

    No, as mentioned above. I kept getting lost, particularly in the beginning. I had to restart the book about 4 times.


    Any additional comments?

    The author really isn't that good and I'm surprised she has so many books in this series. The only way I think others would enjoy this book is if they are at least in their 30's or older and love investigative adventures.

    Deuce’s whole world has changed. Down below, she was considered an adult. Now, topside in a town called Salvation, she’s a brat in need of training in the eyes of the townsfolk. She doesn’t fit in with the other girls: Deuce only knows how to fight. To make matters worse, her Hunter partner, Fade, keeps Deuce at a distance. Her feelings for Fade haven’t changed, but he seems not to want her around anymore. Confused and lonely, she starts looking for a way out.

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

    Action, Love, Family


    What other book might you compare Outpost to and why?

    Its similar to Delirium, Matched, Divergent, Chemical Garden, & Hunger Games.
    Mostly just because its a female main character and has a lot of action and is set in the future.


    Which scene was your favorite?

    I liked the siege on the outpost scene. A lot of fighting.


    Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

    It's not really a funny book. More sad at times. No main reaction. But I did love the book!


    Any additional comments?

    I wanted to listen to this audio book all in 1 day. It was that good! I enjoy this author because unlike the other book above, the main character that is a girl isn't portrayed as being dumb. I never understood why female authors portray the female characters as stupid. This girl is strong and smart!

    Just as Jane Jameson’s unlife seems to be stabilizing, fate sinks its fangs firmly into her butt. Despite her near-phobia of wedding planning, her no-frills nighttime nuptials to her sexy boyfriend, Gabriel, are coming along smoothly. That is, until she turns a fatally wounded teenage acquaintance, and the Council pronounces her responsible for the newborn vamp until he can control his thirst.

    Nothing sucks the romance out of world travel like a boyfriend who may or may not have broken up with you in a hotel room in Brussels. Jane Jameson's sexy sire Gabriel has always been unpredictable, but the seductive, anonymous notes that await him at each stop of their international vacation, coupled with his evasive behavior over the past few months, finally push Jane onto the next flight home to Half Moon Hollow -- alone, upset, and unsure whether Gabriel just ended their relationship without actually telling her.

    Once a devoted children's librarian, Jane Jameson now works at a rundown occult bookstore. Once a regular gal, she's now a vampire. And instead of a bride, she's an eternal bridesmaid -- which leads her to question where exactly her relationship with her irresistibly sexy sire, Gabriel, is headed. Mercurial, enigmatic, apparently commitment-phobic vampires are nothing if not hard to read.

    Maybe it was the Shenanigans gift certificate that put her over the edge. When children's librarian and self-professed nice girl Jane Jameson is fired by her beastly boss and handed $25 in potato skins instead of a severance check, she goes on a bender that's sure to become Half Moon Hollow legend. On her way home, she's mistaken for a deer, shot, and left for dead.

    This book is a lot like the TV show True Blood. Like the same world and Vampire lore but with different characters and events taking place. I did enjoy this book and the reader did a very good job. I mostly like the adult humor. I don't suggest this book series to uptight people that don't like adult language or sexual scenes.

    What other book might you compare Sever to and why?

    Matched, Delirium, Divergent, The Hunger Games, The Uglies, & Enclave, because they are all dustopian books.


    Which character – as performed by Angela Lin – was your favorite?

    She did wonderful with every character.


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

    Yes, but in this 3rd book I wanted to strangle the main character for being so dumb. I hate when authors make there characters as dumb as the girl Bella from Twighlight. It almost ruined the book for me actually.

    This book was a great ending to the series! i hope to see more from this author!

    Angel Crawford is finally starting to get used to life as a brain-eating zombie, but her problems are far from over. Her felony record is coming back to haunt her, more zombie hunters are popping up, and she’s beginning to wonder if her hunky cop-boyfriend is involved with the zombie mafia. Yeah, that’s right—the zombie mafia. Throw in a secret lab and a lot of conspiracy, and Angel’s going to need all of her brainpower—and maybe a brain smoothie as well—in order to get through it without falling apart.
