    At the luxurious Roarke Palace Hotel, a maid walks into suite 4602 for the nightly turndown - and steps into her worst nightmare. A killer leaves her dead, strangled by a thin silver wire. He's Sly Yost, a virtuoso of music and murder. A hit man for the elite.

    What made the experience of listening to Betrayal in Death the most enjoyable?

    I just love the character "Eve Dallas" and the person doing the reading is always consistent.


    What about Susan Ericksen’s performance did you like?

    Susan, you are the best. If they ever do a tv show on this book, you have to be Eve!


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

    I wish! I can never listen to a book in one sitting no matter how much I love it (LOL)


    Any additional comments?

    More J.D. Robb/Eve Dallas!!

    There are some odd things about Nate’s new apartment. Of course, he has other things on his mind. He hates his job. He has no money in the bank. No girlfriend. No plans for the future. So while his new home isn’t perfect, it’s livable. The rent is low, the property managers are friendly, and the odd little mysteries don’t nag at him too much. At least, not until he meets Mandy, his neighbor across the hall, and notices something unusual about her apartment. And Xela’s apartment. And Tim’s. And Veek’s.

    Would you consider the audio edition of 14 to be better than the print version?

    I've never read the print version and dont' intend to because the narration is just so good!


    What other book might you compare 14 to and why?

    I can't compare it to books I've read but I can compare it to tv shows like "lost', x-files, and
    frindge'.


    Which character – as performed by Ray Porter – was your favorite?

    All of them!


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

    No, I commute so it took me about a week to listen to the whole book.


    Any additional comments?

    This book surprised me. I wasn't going to pick it but the excerp got my attention. This book had me talking out loud driving down the road at the characters!! Great story if you are in to sci-fi.

    The first victim was found lying on a sidewalk in the rain. The second was murdered in her own apartment building. Police lieutenant Eve Dallas had no problem finding connections between the two crimes. Both victims were beautiful and highly successful women. Their glamorous lives and loves were the talk of the city.

    What made the experience of listening to Glory in Death the most enjoyable?

    I listened to book 1 a few weeks ago and was hooked. I love the character Eve Dallas, who is the Lieutinent cop. I also enjoy listening to the performance/voice of Susan Erickson! She's fantastic!!


    What was one of the most memorable moments of Glory in Death?

    I thought the moment that Eve realized that she couldn't live withour Rourke was so touching. I could feel how she felt with every line I was listening to.


    Which character – as performed by Susan Ericksen – was your favorite?

    Eve Dallas


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

    I have to listen to all the books in this sequal now because I am so attached to the characters. I can't wait to find out what happens to Eve and Rourke next. I did get sad when Eve and Rourke broke up.

    This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

    This book wasn't for me at all. Sorry I bought it. I didn't know it was for young kids so perhaps they might enjoy it.


    What could Rick Riordan have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

    I didn't particularly like the voices reading the book.


    You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

    Not to my knowledge because I couldnt' finish it.

    Atticus O’Sullivan, last of the Druids, lives peacefully in Arizona, running an occult bookshop and shape-shifting in his spare time to hunt with his Irish wolfhound. His neighbors and customers think that this handsome, tattooed Irish dude is about twenty-one years old - when in actuality, he’s twenty-one centuries old. Not to mention: He draws his power from the earth, possesses a sharp wit, and wields an even sharper magical sword known as Fragarach, the Answerer. Unfortunately, a very angry Celtic god wants that sword, and he’s hounded Atticus for centuries....

    Chris says: "Finally, a modern day fantasy that really hits the"
    "The Iron Druid Chronicles was fun!"

    Where does Hounded rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

    As far as this audiobook - I rank it as very entertaining.


    What other book might you compare Hounded to and why?

    Since this would be my first time listening to a book of this storyline and theme, I cannot give a comparison.


    Which scene was your favorite?

    I loved all the scenes when Aticus was talking to his dog.


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

    I can never sit long enough to listen to any book in one sitting.
