    Some of the stories were boring (to me), some were hot (to me), some were funny (to me). All in all i found this to be a collection where I would expect several of the stories to appeal to any aficionado of erotic (versus pure slutty) fiction. The performances were excellent.

    It has been a busy few weeks for Private Kaylin Neva. In between angling for a promotion, sharing her room with the last living female Dragon, and dealing with more refugees than anyone knew what to do with, the unusual egg she'd been given began to hatch. Actually, that turned out to be lucky, because it absorbed the energy from the bomb that went off in her quarters. So now might be the perfect time to leave Elantra and journey to the West March with the Barrani. If not for the disappearances of citizens in the fief of Tiamaris - disappearances traced to the very Barrani Kaylin is about to be traveling with....

    Story

    Wow. This was my favorite of Michelle's stories so far.

    I love the philosophies and character nuances that appear throughout the story. At times a touch of Zen, at times a touch of quantum theory. She somehow manages to weave multiple story lines together while keeping your hungry for more after you've finished listening to the whole story. Khristine does a great job by making all the characters come alive! I've fallen in love with her voices.

    This book goes into more depth with some of my favorite characters (Tela, Lord Nightshade, the Lady, Severn) as well as bringing along new ones (our new female dragon and a little glass something or other). New marvels appear and I find myself thinking the story is going one way when BANG, off it goes in a different and even more interesting direction.

    Hard to put down. Great book for long car rides or while exercising

    Five local business men in Dover, New Hampshire, belong to a club called The Snowshoe Club. At a club meeting, these five men decide that they want girlfriends they can have sex with. One among their number, Elliot, the one in charge of getting things done, suggests that they might get one girlfriend and share her among the five of them. They agree that such a scheme would be a practical idea. They dispatch Elliot, who finds a college girl and commandeers her to their purposes.

    Story

    The story is interesting, the erotic scenes are definitely hot. Moire Noire the female reader makes the scenes even hotter. The male reader had too old of a voice for me. Not all the scenes were for my taste; but, there were several that were. I wish it would have been longer and gotten into more character development and explored the potential jealousies and intrigues that this type of arrangement should have brought about.

    Story

    I still love the interwoven humor Charlaine places throughout her works. This may not be as good as some of her previous works; but, it is still a must listen to Sookie fans. I would have liked more play and interaction with Eric's "father". Normally her character development is well done; but, I felt things were missing for both "daddy" and Eric's "brother".

    Johanna Parker as always is a fabulous narrator and makes the characters come alive.

    New York Times best-selling author Charlaine Harris has re-imagined the supernatural world with her "spunky" (Tampa Tribune) Southern Vampire novels, starring telepathic waitress Sookie Stackhouse. Now, for the first time, here is every Sookie Stackhouse short story ever written - together in one volume. The stories include "Fairy Dust", "One Word Answer", "Dracula Night", "Lucky" and "Giftwrap".

    Excellent series of short stories that provide more depth to some of the characters. She does a great job in making you care about the cast and there is lots of humor, some sex and another fabulous performance by Johanna Parker. Great for short car trips or when you don't have a lot of time to listen to a complete novel.

Until Tayla Mancuso lands in a hospital run by demons in disguise, and the head doctor, Eidolon, makes her body burn with unslakable desire. But to prove her ultimate loyalty to her peers, she must betray the surgeon who saved her life.

    Story

    I guess I'm just not into demons. Saying that, the story was good and the reader excellent. However, since I had a hard time getting into the characters, I didn't really care what happened to them.

    I do enjoy sci-fi and other supernatural stories (vampires, weres, etc); however, I was never able to empathize with the characters. If you like demons and all the possibilities that entails, you will probably like this book. If not, you won't.

    Seven corpses are discovered in the streets of a Dragon’s fief. All identical, down to their clothing. Kaylin Neya is assigned to discover who they were, who killed them - and why. Is the evil lurking at the borders of Elantra preparing to cross over? At least the investigation delays her meeting with the Dragon Emperor. And as the shadows grow longer over the fiefs, Kaylin must use every skill she’s ever learned to save the people she’s sworn to protect. Sword in hand, dragons in the sky, this time there’s no retreat....

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

    It is such a great story mixed in with fabulous insights into daily life and how things really are, not just in the land of the dragons, but in our own lives.


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    All the main characters have been brought to life (I have read all in the series so far), the 3 main dragons, Lords Sanabellus, Teamaris and the Archon, Kalen of course, her sergeant the lion, heartwarming, great story.


    What about Khristine Hvam’s performance did you like?

    She has such a command of each character's voice, she makes it so easy to merge into the scenes and become part of the story.


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

    Yes, but, at 17 hours, that is not possible. I listen to it while exercising indoors on my trainer and on long car rides. It makes the trips and the exercise something to look forward to doing.


    Any additional comments?

    Waiting for the next book.

    In the dark of night, a blood war escalates within the hidden world of the Breed.

It falls to the Order—a cadre of Breed warriors pledged to protect their own and humankind alike—to stop Dragos, the power-mad vampire at the center of the conflict, before his push for domination can explode into catastrophe.
