    It was just another after-work happy-hour bar downtown, where business professionals unwound with a few drinks, complained about the boss, maybe hooked up with someone for the night. Until something went terribly wrong. At first it was just a friction in the air. The noise intensified. The crowd seemed oppressive. Some sharp words were exchanged, some pushing and shoving. Then the madness descended. And after 12 minutes of chaos and violence, 80 people lay dead.

    What did you love best about Delusion In Death?

    As always, Susan Ericksen's narration is the best. I have listened to all the novels and I can't imagine any other voices for the characters.


    What was one of the most memorable moments of Delusion In Death?

    The twist that I never saw coming.


    Which scene was your favorite?

    The scene in restaurant


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

    Yes- and I did (almost). It kept me up til the wee hours.

    Set in a postapocalyptic world, this tale of courage, sacrifice, and heroism takes place against the backdrop of an age of steam and rational humanism, where the social elite have rejected religion and spiritualism as nothing more than quaint superstition. Brutal Vampire Clans rule half the world, keeping human herds for food, and Princess Adele, heir to the throne of Equatoria, is faced with grim choices. War is imminent and her marriage to the odious Senator Clark of America will cement an alliance uniting the Equatorian Empire and the American Republic.

    Would you consider the audio edition of The Rift Walker to be better than the print version?

    I actually waited for the audio version despite the very long wait for it and have not read the print version.


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

    I always enjoy James Marsters narrations- with some minor caveats. There were a couple of mispronunciations in the book that really bothered me. He handles the multiple voices very well otherwise.

    Dory is used to fighting hard and nasty. So when she wakes up in a strange scientific lab with a strange man standing over her, her first instinct is to take his head off. Luckily, the man is actually the master vampire Louis-Cesare, so he's not an easy kill. It turns out that Dory had been working with a Vampire Senate task force on the smuggling of magical items and weaponry out of Faerie when she was captured and brought to the lab.

    What did you love best about Fury's Kiss?

    I loved the non-stop action and character development. No one plots action as well as Karen Chance.


    What other book might you compare Fury's Kiss to and why?

    I would compare this to the other Midnight's Daughter books and the Cassie Palmer series.


    Which scene was your favorite?

    I loved the scene when Ray and Dory go shopping for "supplies" for the fae. Laugh out loud funny.


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

    I think it has to be the final scene between Louis-Cesar and Dory.


    Any additional comments?

    It has taken me a while to get used to Joyce Bean's narration of this series, particularly the voice of Mircea, as well as other male voices. The exception is the voice of Ray, which I think she gets just right.

    In a strange room in Morocco, Mary Russell is trying to solve a pressing mystery: Who am I? She has awakened with shadows in her mind, blood on her hands, and soldiers pounding on the door. Out in the hivelike streets, she discovers herself strangely adept in the skills of the underworld, escaping through alleys and rooftops, picking pockets and locks. She is clothed like a man, and armed only with her wits and a scrap of paper containing a mysterious Arabic phrase. Overhead, warplanes pass ominously north.

    What made the experience of listening to Garment of Shadows the most enjoyable?

    A return to the more adventure based story that I like most in this series


    What did you like best about this story?

    The adventure and learning something about a part of history that I knew nothing about and Laurie King's descriptive prose.


    Have you listened to any of Jenny Sterlin and Robert Ian McKenzie ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    Have listened to all the audio books narrated by Jenny Sterlin in the Holmes- Russell novels. Robert Ian MacKenzie is new to me, and I didn't quite see the point of going to a dual voice production. That being said, I found his voice nicely nuanced and resonant. I don't usually care much for multi-voice but Garment of Shadows was well done.


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

    Yes, and I almost did!
