Jason Schuyler is a werewolf. He's also one of Anita Blake's best friends, and sometimes her lover. And right now he needs her - not to be a vampire hunter, or a federal marshal, or a necromancer, or even for her rank in the werewolf pack, but because his father is dying. He needs Anita because she's a pretty woman who loves him, who can make him look like an everyday guy.
Eivind says: "Worst Anita Blake book this far"

Laurel K Hamillton has lost her edge on writing. The succubus Anita is just boring. I loved the earlier books with Anita hunting vampires and other preternaturals. I'm not sure if I'll even try her newest one.

When Thomas wakes up in the lift, the only thing he can remember is his first name. His memory is blank. But he's not alone. When the lift's doors open, Thomas finds himself surrounded by kids who welcome him to the Glade - a large, open expanse surrounded by stone walls.

Would you try another book from James Dashner and/or Mark Deakins?

Yes, because my son wants to hear the 2nd book

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

He did well on voices and accents.

Do you think The Maze Runner needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

It has one

Hoping to bring some Tinseltown money to the Valley, the mayor lures a movie studio to town to shoot their next production, a big-budget Western in the classic tradition. The star is none other than ruggedly handsome—and notoriously badly behaved—Thad Perry. When the mayor decides that someone needs to keep an eye on Thad so that he doesn’t get into too much trouble, Bernie and Chet are handpicked for the job. The money is good but something smells fishy....

What would happen if an author went back to the darker themes of the original fairy tales for his plots, and then crossed the Disney princesses with Charlie's Angels? What's delivered is The Stepsister Scheme, a whole new take on what happened to Cinderella and her prince after the wedding. And with Jim C. Hines penning the tale, listeners can bet it won't be "and they lived happily ever after."

The ever after, the demonic realm that parallels our own, is shrinking, and if it disappears, so does all magic. It’s up to witch-turned-daywalking-demon Rachel Morgan to fix the ever-after before the fragile balance between magic users and humans fails. Of course, there’s also the small fact that she caused the ley line to rip in the first place, and her life is forfeit unless she can fix it.

Jake Sullivan is a licensed private eye with a seriously hardboiled attitude. He also possesses raw magical talent and the ability to make objects in his vicinity light as a feather or as heavy as depleted uranium, all with a magical thought. It's no wonder the G-men turn to Jake when they need someoneto go after a suspected killer who has been knocking off banks in a magic-enhanced crime spree.

For the second time in his short life, Teddy Clock has survived a massacre. Two years ago, he barely escaped when his entire family was slaughtered. Now, at 14, in a hideous echo of the past, Teddy is the lone survivor of his foster family’s mass murder. Orphaned once more, the traumatized teenager has nowhere to turn - until the Boston PD puts Detective Jane Rizzoli on the case. Determined to protect this young man, Jane discovers that what seemed like a coincidence is one part of a killer’s mission.

I like it better when both Jane and Maura are in the story. The story was good but she just can't ever match the first 4 or 5 Rizzoli and Isles books.

The person who killed the physcologist

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

Nayir al-Sharqi, known by his friends for religious piety and his Bedouin-like knowledge of the desert, lends his assistance to a wealthy family when their soon to-be-married daughter Nouf goes missing. After a short search, the girl is found dead, apparently drowned in the desert during a freak deluge. Something about her death doesn't sit well with Nayir, however, and he makes an uncomfortable alliance with a female coroner's technician to determine what really happened.

A faster more interesting solving of the murder

He was good speaking the Saudi language

Could you see Finding Nouf being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

Not sure on this one. If the screenplay was more interesting.

In her 11th adventure, following Undead and Undetermined, Betsy’s up to her fangs in paranormal trouble. Still heartbroken over her friend Marc’s sacrifice, Betsy is further plagued by nagging suspicions that her half-sister Laura is up to no good. It seems that Laura has received an offer to assume her mother’s duties overseeing Hell - but only if she first kills Betsy.

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

She ruined the story when she did the timeline change

Would you ever listen to anything by MaryJanice Davidson again?

I don't think so

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Nancy Wu?

Not sure, but I believe we had a different narrator for earlier books who was much better.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Undead and Unstable?

Most all of them

Any additional comments?

Why did she have to ruin the story with the time line?
