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

    If my friend was looking for something they could listen to in short bites but still get a full story and if they liked the genera then I might recommend this book.


    What did you like best about this story?

    I like the Jim Butcher story. It was based in the Dresden-vers, but came at the story from the vantage point of John Marconi. The others where varying degrees of good and bad, basically what you would expect from a book of novellas.


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

    I had read some of the story's already and for the most part the narrators did not enhance the book for me. This is rare since a good reader (and they where) usually brings nuances to life that I would have missed in a reading.


    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

    No it was just some light fluff.

    Rumor said the powerful Nicolai DeMarco could command the heavens, that the beasts below did his bidding... and that he was doomed to destroy the woman he took as wife. It was whispered he was not wholly human - as untamed as his tawny mane and slashing amber eyes. Impoverished aristocrat Isabella Vernaducci would defy death itself to rescue her imprisoned brother. She’d even brave the haunted, accursed lair of the lion - the menacing palace of legendary, lethal Don Nicolai DeMarco.

    What did you like best about Lair of the Lion? What did you like least?

    I can't say what I liked best or least about this book. The reader was so bad that I could not keep track of what was going on. The sex was good, but the reader read everything like a moment of tension witch made it hard to understand and keep up with the story.


    Would you be willing to try another one of Abby Craden’s performances?

    NO defiantly not, she tries to hard. Everything... is... said.... with... breathless... anticipation.

    Devyn Kell spent his life in service to the League until he learned of the double dealing and backstabbing that was costing innocent people their lives. Refusing to play those politics, he became a Runner - someone who makes sure planets get the weapons, medicine and supplies they need to survive. May the gods have mercy on any who get in his way, because he definitely won't.

    What made the experience of listening to All I Want for Christmas Is a Vampire the most enjoyable?

    This was a cute and sweet book, one of her best so far. I loved Ian and his struggle for acceptance. Here is a man willing to induing and struggle to find his one true love. Plus I listened to it around Christmas and that made it all the sweeter.


    What other book might you compare All I Want for Christmas Is a Vampire to and why?

    This book had the humerus quality's of the first book in the series, the laugh out loud sort of book. Most enjoyable

    Jane Sagan: Soldier. Killer. Lover. Dreamer. In John Scalzi's best-selling Old Man's War series of science-fiction novels, we see this warrior woman as the other characters see her - silent and strong, from the outside. But now The Sagan Diary shows us Sagan from another point of view: her own, as she prepares to leave military life and join her new husband and adopted daughter on a colony world.

    If you like introspection (A LOT), then you would really get a kick out of this story. If you like Victorian style writing you will most likely enjoy this story as well. If you like things to get to the point then stay away it will drive you slowly mad.

    This was a cute love story. Not much in the way of thinking and more angst than I normally like, but it was sweet and good for a short drive (3 hours or less).

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

    Have not read the print version so I cant say, but I have listen to this one several times already.


    What did you like best about this story?

    The strong sassy characters. Also that they where flawed and had difficult background that affected their actions and reactions, but the angst level was very low.


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

    Oh Yes! I could not turn it off, but if I wanted to sleep I had to (sob).

    The loss of control. The fear of desire. Allie always thought that mysteriously sexy rancher Caleb Johnson wanted her as much as she wanted him. But since he never acted on it, she was ready to admit defeat. Until the night she was attacked by a vicious wolf, only to be rescued by another. In the triumphant, bloodied male, there was something Allie recognized---the baritone growl, the mesmerizing eyes, the inexplicable animal attraction. Her savior was Caleb.
