    Emma Corrigan has a long list of secrets, one of which is that she is afraid of flying. Coming back from a thoroughly ruinous sales trip to Glasgow, the plane she is on encounters some air turbulence, and she ends up spilling her guts to the handsome American sitting next to her. He gets to hear that she fibbed to get her current job and that she has never been able to satisfactorily find her G-spot. Then, the plane lands...and the American turns up in her life again. He's the CEO of her company....

    This is the first book I had the pleasure of reading (listening to) by Sophie Kinsella and I totally enjoyed it. It is also the first book I got from Audible where I simply could not stop listening. I listened to the complete book within 24 hours and loved every minute of it.
    The book is warm, romantic, funny and sometimes a tad bit heartbreaking as you follow Emma on her daily adventures of love and life.
    If you ever seen the movie "Maid in Manhattan", it definitely has a very similiar flavor - but in a different sort of way.
    It is a great listen, I highly recommend it.

    Madeline Black is an Agent of Death, meaning she escorts the souls of people who have died to the afterlife. Of course, not everyone is happy to see her... If obstinate dead people were all that Maddy had to worry about, life would be much easier.

    What made the experience of listening to Black Night the most enjoyable?

    The story-line for this book was extremely entertaining.


    What did you like best about this story?

    The story line was excellent but left too many un-answered questions. I hope she is writing a book 3 for this series so there is at least closure to all the questions still looming in ones head.


    What about Coleen Marlo’s performance did you like?

    She sounded more up-beat and not so monotone as she did in the first.


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

    Definitely.. but again, as with Book 1, the length of the book did not allow it.


    Any additional comments?

    I still love Beezel, the garoyle the most.

    As an Agent of Death, Madeline Black is responsible for escorting the souls of the dearly departed to the afterlife. It's a 24/7 job with a lousy benefits package. Maddy's position may come with magical powers and an impressive wingspan, but it doesn't pay the bills. And then there are her infuriating boss, tenant woes, and a cranky, popcorn-loving gargoyle to contend with. Things start looking up, though, when tall, dark, and handsome Gabriel Angeloscuro agrees to rent the empty apartment in Maddy's building

    If you could sum up Black Wings in three words, what would they be?

    Edge of seat


    Which character – as performed by Coleen Marlo – was your favorite?

    I'm not sure Did not enjoy listening to her that much. She seemed a lil flat to me. But if i had to choose, i'd say Beezel.. the gargoyle.


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

    Yes, but took about 7 or 8 sittings.

    Judas Coyne is a collector of the macabre. But nothing he possesses is as unlikely or as dreadful as his latest discovery, a thing so terrible-strange, Jude can't help but reach for his wallet. For a thousand dollars, Jude will become the proud owner of a dead man's suit, said to be haunted by a restless spirit. But what UPS delivers to his door in a black heart-shaped box is no imaginary or metaphorical ghost. It's the real thing.

    Story

    This is not usually the type of book I would pick to read, but I am a fan of ghost stories and such, so I thought I would give it a try. It sounded good from the descriptions and some of the reviews.
    I tried to be fair, and listened to as much as I could take (made it to the end of part 1, almost) before I had to slam down the lid of my laptop and vowed to not listen to any more of it.
    Some of the reviewers said they had nightmares and such from it, but to me, it was just plain silly.
    When somebody died, first it was said he died one way then a few minutes later you would hear he died another way.
    The characters are stupid and rude, to put it mildly..especially the main one and the ones you did like, the got killed off.
    Sadly enough, I will not finish listening to this book..I'd much rather delete it than waste anymore of my time.

    When I first downloaded this book I did not think I would like it, but was willing to take a chance on it. Lo and Behold, I found this book most excellent.
    The characters are beguiling and mysterious and you soon learn about them in a most intimate manner.
    There is lots of romance along with plenty of suspense. You would think those two would not match as well as they did. But not only does this book keep you on the edge of your seat, but it keeps you giggling like a young girl as she watches a love story unfold in front of her eyes.
    This was an excellent listen and I would suggest anybody to give it a go.

    I absolutely loved this book. It was an excellent read and definitely fun for the older reader as well. It keeps you on the edge of your seat and you really are not sure how things will turn out, for the better or not?
    But I was not let down and I don't think anybody else would be either. Read it! :-)

    It's not easy being shy, especially when you suddenly find yourself at the center of a widening circle of lovesick boys. But this is exactly the predicament Juliet Dove ends up in after she receives a strange amulet in Mr. Elive's magic shop.

    Ever been offered a promotion that seems too good to be true? You know, the sort they'd be insane to be offering to someone like you. The kind where you snap their arm off to accept, then wonder why all your long-serving colleagues look secretly relieved, as if they've been let off some strange and unpleasant hook.

    I simply loved this book. It is a book full of wonder, delight and it keeps you on the edge of your seat wondering what kind of crazy, quirky thing is going to happen to poor Mr. Paul Carpenter this time around.
    Most compared it to 'The Hitchhikers Guide..', but I found it much more entertaining. I also totally enjoyed the Narrator who seemed to bring each character to life in a way I never expected.
    This would have to be the best book I've heard to date. Simply Divine.

    This was a book I hated to love? Hah. If that makes sense. The main character of the book is so into herself, so grumpy, so back-stabbing and snot-nosed I was not sure how or why I kept on listening. I would say the Author was able to intrigue me enough that I was curious how things were going to end and at times I actually found myself cheering and or feeling bad for the snot-nosed back-stabber.
    If you are looking for a good, quick read.. give this one a try. You may be pleasantly surprised.

    In this inspirational audio program, Louise explains how you can use the power of your mind to attract anything you want into your life: more money, a rewarding career, fulfilling relationships, and more fun! Once you put a halt to self-criticism and learn to move beyond your limitations, you'll begin attracting more "good" into your life.

    I thought the book in general was very positive and had a had a very positive flow to it. I loved Louis Hay's affirmations and the concept of the way we need to change our thoughts regarding money and ourselves in general.
    The only thing I did not like was I thought there was too much audience interaction. Some is good, but I thought she over did it in that department a bit too much.
