She could save the world - or destroy it. Sixteen-year-old Evangeline 'Evie' Greene leads a charmed life, until she begins experiencing horrifying hallucinations. When an apocalyptic event decimates her Louisiana hometown, Evie realizes her hallucinations were actually visions of the future - and they're still happening. Fighting for her life and desperate for answers, she must turn to her wrong-side-of-the-bayou classmate: Jack Deveaux. But she can't do either alone.

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

I did not read the print book but I think the audio would be better b/c of the accents and french words.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Poison Princess?

The ending :*

Which scene was your favorite?

So many scenes I loved. I would have to say that Jackson talking are my favorites :)

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

When it appears the world has ended and you find your new beginning, how will you fair?

What made the experience of listening to Kiss of a Demon King the most enjoyable?

As with all Kressley Cole's books, the narrator Robert Petkoff makes each character come to life with the amazing distinct voices of each character.

What other book might you compare Kiss of a Demon King to and why?

I would not do that. this book is not comparable. This series is amazing and with each book I "read" on audible, the more I fall in love with this world.

Have you listened to any of Robert Petkoff’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

FABULOUS as with all the others

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

I love the AHA moment with a book ties with the previous book. That is ALWAYS my aha moment! I love it. The other AHA moments are too spoilerish so I will keep them to myself and let you enjoy them all on your own.

Any additional comments?

As long as Kressley Cole keeps writing adn Robert Petkoff keeps reading, i will keep on buying every audio book Kressley cole has!!!

What made the experience of listening to Eternal Kiss of Darkness the most enjoyable?

I LOVE the insight I got into Kira and Mencheres! Before this book, I had a very low opinion of Kira and this book helped me see her for who she really is. I feel HORRIBLE for how I felt about her before. Knowing so much more about Menchares only makes me love him more!!!

What other book might you compare Eternal Kiss of Darkness to and why?

Not fair to do so

Which character – as performed by Tavia Gilbert – was your favorite?

As with all the other Jeanine Frost books, I love all the characters! Bones still cracks me up every time I hear him. I love his voice as it stands out the most!

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

I would not curse this book to a film, Just my opinion.

Any additional comments?

I hope Jeanine continues to write based on the characters from this series. I love this world, the characters and I will NEVER get tired of her stories!!!

The Narrator Tavia Gilbert. I cannot imagine these books without her amazing VOICE! As I have said on all the other books by Jeaniene Frost that are narrated by Tavia, they could not be any better! Tavia's voices throughout the book are spot on and you never have to wonder who is speaking. I love her reading so much!! THANK YOU TAVIA!!!!!

Denise..I just love Denise!!!!

What about Tavia Gilbert’s performance did you like?

Leila's psychic abilities have been failing her, and now she isn't sure what the future holds. If that weren't enough, her lover, Vlad, has been acting distant. Though Leila is a mere mortal, she's also a modern woman who refuses to accept the cold-shoulder treatment forever - especially from the darkly handsome vampire who still won't admit that he loves her.... Soon circumstances send Leila back to the carnival circuit, where tragedy strikes.

What made the experience of listening to Twice Tempted the most enjoyable?

Narrator Tavia Gilbert is AMAZING! I love how she makes each voice so distinct. You can always tell who is talking just by sound. I am amazing at this series and how well done it is. The story lines are so good you hang on every word and then to have Tavia bringing each character to life even more by their voice makes this a truly enjoyable experience!!!

What did you like best about this story?

Vlad the Impaler! I love his character so much. I have loved him since very early on in the series. I am so glad Vlad got his own book. Layla is amazing and one of best kick ass heroine's out there!!!

Which scene was your favorite?

As I refuse to give spoilers, I will be vague.

the wedding scene was amazing, the reunion was amazing, the dungeon is amazing,

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

Please get a new question here. Not all books need to be a movie!!!

Any additional comments?

This was my favorite book out of all the series so far! I the series of A Night Prince Novel. I HOPE to hear move of Vlad and Layla in the future. Vlad is one of my favorite characters EVER!! He is amazing and dark!!

I cannot imagine not listening to EVERY one of Jeaniene Frost's book on audible. Tavia does such an amazing job!!!!

Disavowed from his bloodline, shunned by the aristocracy, he has finally found an identity as one of the most brutal fighters in the war against the Lessening Society. But his life is not complete. Even as the prospect of having a family of his own seems to be within reach, he is empty on the inside, his heart given to another....

Where does Lover at Last rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It ranks very high. i have all of this series on audio and I love them all. Jim Frangione is AMAZING and I don't think anyone else could read this series the way he does.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Oh i have lots of favorites! I love Qhuinn so much. He is so tortured.

Which scene was your favorite?

The ending...NO SPOILERS!!

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

Yes there was but I have a strict NO SPOILER policy. It involved a male, a female and someone else. ALl I can say. I actually CRIED!!!

Also the end made me cry.

Ok and one other part made me cry. They all had to do with Qhuinn!!!

Any additional comments?

This book wsa a little long in the fact that it seemed to repeat itself a lot. The secondary stories and characters were not as gripping as books past. Half the time, I had no clue who they were talking about b/c i was so focused on the main characters. This is very unusaly for JR Warden books in this series. I love this series and do not mean to take anything away from this book. it was still amazing.

Nikolai Wroth, once a ruthless human warlord in the 1700s and now a general in the rebel vampire army, needs to find his bride, the one woman who can render him truly alive. As a turned human, he doesn’t enjoy a heartbeat or breathing and is consequently weaker than fully blooded vampires. He wants his bride for the power she will bring him and can hardly believe it when his heart beats for Myst the Coveted, a mad, fey, mythological creature. Myst is known throughout the world as the most beautiful Valkyrie, part chillingly fierce warrior, part beguiling seductress....
