Members Reviews:

What a waste

There wasn't even a story. It was definitely a waste of money. It's such a shame because I loved the first book and thought the others were at least okay.

Helpful view of how Ámber Lee became queen

I read this after I read The Selection and i enjoyed hearing where the Queen came from and how her Selection went.

Short But Sweet

I was wondering how Cass could pull off a likeable Prince Clarkson. I was impressed that she didn't change his character, and made no excuses for him either. His love for Amberly made sense. Very well written for a novella.

So so

Think Hunger Games + The Bachelor = The Selection Series

It's fun reading, a bit if mind candy. Doesn't take a lot of energy to read. If you are looking for a diversion and enjoy the traditional rags to riches story line then this one should hit home for you. I'm looking forward to the next story in the line.

This one wasn't quite as completing as the others. It displays the makings of a truly destructive relationship. I could have taken or left it and been just as fine. Luckily it's short.

Outstanding Narration!

What made the experience of listening to The Queen the most enjoyable?

As the narrator, Rachel made each character's voice distinct. She made it so easy to know when a new character was speaking which provided for a really enjoyable listening experience.

What did you like best about this story?

I haven't read the rest of the Selection series, and this book made me want to read more.

Have you listened to any of Rachel F. Hirschs other performances before? How does this one compare?

I also listened to THE ICE CAPTAIN'S DAUGHTER. That book required various accents as well. I was really impressed with (in both books) how she was able to make each voice sound so different, and how the voices she used in the two books differed from each other.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I didn't have an extreme reaction. I just enjoyed it.

Any additional comments?

I look forward to listening to more books narrated by Rachel F. Hirsch because she is not monotone, she is easy to listen to, and she does great character voices. My only complaint about the book is I enjoyed the book so much I wish it were longer!

From New York Times and USA Today best-sellers Vi Keeland and Dylan Scott comes the heart wrenchingly beautiful story of Nikki and Zack.

Two stories so deeply intertwined, you'll think you know how they intersect.... but you'll be wrong.....

Zack Martin

The day I met Emily Bennett my whole world changed. Sure, we were just kids, but I was old enough to know my life would never be the same. She was my best friend. My destiny. My fate. I wasn't wrong... I just didn't know how twisted fate could be.

Members Reviews:

It put me to sleep

Bought the audible. Performer was not good at all, it was boring and put me to sleep. Sometimes an ok book can be a better book with a good narrator.

Good storyline. Poor narration.

I have listened to dozens of audiobooks but cannot remember one that was so poorly narrated. It is interesting to me that there was no correction or editing of mispronounced words. Those mistakes certainly interfered with the telling of the story.

Performance was annoying

The story itself was ok. The performance had so many issues. Misread sentences, that were fixed mid recording. Mispronounced words. Awkward silences in the middle of readings. Not happy at all.

Innocent

This is the first review I've written. This book takes you on a very emotional journey. It's not as hard to figure out as you may think in the beginning but it does not distract from the story. The male perspective in this story is what kept me coming back. Stop reading reviews and get this book!

Great Suspense and Feeling Storyline

Great storyline, kept you guessing. Definitely a tear jerker. Enjoyed the book very much.

Not only is he an amazing QB, but he's also amazingly hot. And for the first time, Jordan's feeling vulnerable. Can she keep her head in the game while her heart's on the line?

Critic Reviews:

"Whoever said football and girls don't mix hasn't read Catching Jordan. I couldn't put it down!" (Simone Elkeles, New York Times bestselling author of the Perfect Chemistry series One of the Boys)

"A beautiful novel with a real and captivating depiction of high school relationships, Catching Jordan shows the same reverence for the human heart that it does for the game of football." (Karsten Knight, author of Wildefire)

Members Reviews:

Great Book

Spoiler Alert

I thought this was a great book. I like how the coach at the end accepted her and how she finally got with Sam. I'm like yes lol. Because I knew he had feelings for her before she found out from his ex. Miranda books are always interesting .

Easy to Read, Enjoyable, Well-Written

Would you consider the audio edition of Catching Jordan to be better than the print version?

Ignore the above, here is my review from Goodreads:

This is a fun story about a female quarterback who has dreams of playing college ball. I enjoyed all the different relationships and dynamics. This was a refreshing change of pace.

The narrator does a good job bringing the story to life.

Great Book

Great Book! I could not get enough of this book! The characters are funny, but what I didn't like was the woman who was reading. She has an unsettling voice and I couldn't rehearing her over and over

Disappointed by language and sex talk

In all fairness, I did not listen to the entire book. After one hour I could no longer tolerate the coarse language and curse words. The casual sex discussed among the teenagers was equally off-putting. The plot was unlikely (really, a young lady playing football at Alabama?). Teen readers deserve better literature than this.

Catching Jordan

Fantastic book!!!! I absolutely love it!!!

It has everything in it, a true high school drama/love story!

It is a must read!!!

Publisher's Summary:

"I'm a bodyguard. Not a Spy," Mara said.

The noble girl raised her eyebrows.

"We'll see."

Cast out of her family three years ago, Mara turned to the only place that would take her - a school where students train to protect others. But Mara is stunned when guarding a noble girl in the Empire's capital turns out to be more dangerous than she could've imagined. More shocking still, she finds the boy she thought she had lost forever outside the gates of her new home.

Mara knew the dizzying Imperial city would hold dangers. How could she have known that her heart, as well as her life, would be at stake?

Empire of Shadows will take listeners on a spellbinding journey into the world Miriam Forster first introduced in City of a Thousand Dolls - a world with a divided society, deadly courtiers, heroic traitors, and deeply laid conspiracies

Members Reviews:

Magical, thrilling adventure not to be missed.

https://theinkgobbler.wordpress.com/

There's nothing quite like cracking open the freshly stiff covers of a book, your eyes alighting on words chaste and unread, and finding yourself immersed in an entirely new world. It's an exhilarating and unparalleled experience. As I was reading "City of a Thousand Dolls," the first installment of Miriam Forster's "Bhinian Empire" series, I remember feeling as if I'd been transported to some distant land of fragrant spices and baking heat, a place like India or Saudi Arabia but tinged with magical possibilities that come to life in fiction. When I saw its sequel "Empire of Shadows" had been released for a few months, I snatched up a copy as soon as I could, eager to be whisked away on an adventure and to escape the brittle, biting cold of the weather these days. And, without a doubt, it was an adventure as thrilling as the first.

I have to admit, I was a little confused at first by the change in characters in "Empire of Shadows," especially since it's been a while since I read its predecessor. After a couple chapters, however, (along with a quick Google search on the identities of the protagonists of the first book), things cleared themselves up. The heroine of this installment is Mara, a tiger-Sune who is determined to permanently stay in her human form and regain her honour at a school where students train to dedicate their lives to protect others. And what a heroine she is! Mara is undoubtedly a strong character, sharp, brave and compassionate. Plus, she can kick some serious butt, so that wins a few points, too. But what makes Mara such a dynamic and interesting protagonist is the fact that, under all that outward strength is a vulnerability that makes her truly human - which is all the more engaging given her tiger/human identity. Her growth as the story progresses is at once natural and incredible, rendering her a believable character who you can't help but root for every step of the way.

Mara's relationships with the other characters are just as well-developed, especially her romance with Emil (come on, that'll come as no surprise at all). The fact that every other chapter is told from Emil's point of view adds to the development of their relationship, since you get to see the thoughts and feelings unfolding on both sides.

Title: Waterfall

Subtitle: Teardrop, Book 2

Author: Lauren Kate

Narrator: Erin Spencer

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11 hrs and 19 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-28-14

Publisher: Listening Library

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 75 votes

Genres: Teens, Romance & Friendship

Publisher's Summary:

From the number-one New York Times best-selling author of the Fallen books comes Waterfall, a novel about love, betrayal, and epic consequences - a world-altering tale told by a girl whose tears have the power to raise the lost continent of Atlantis. This second novel in the Teardrop series is intensely romantic, with strong, hot main characters caught up in a thrilling fantastical love triangle. For listeners who love Lauren Kate and the worlds of Alyson Noël, P. C. Cast, Maggie Stiefvater, and Veronica Rossi.

Eureka's tears have flooded the Earth, and now Atlantis is rising, bringing with it its evil king, Atlas. Eureka is the only one who can stop him, but first she must learn how to fight. She travels across the ocean with Cat, her family, and Ander, the gorgeous and mysterious Seedbearer who promises to help her find Solon, an enigmatic lost Seedbearer who knows how to defeat Atlas.

Once on land, Eureka is taunted by gossipwitches, a group of displaced Atlantean sorceresses, and ambushed by locals struggling to survive amid the destruction her tears have wrought. And she feels no closer to facing Atlas or saving the world when Solon lets slip that love is Ander's weakness, and that any affection he feels toward her makes him age faster.

Trying to make sense of the dark world her sorrow has created, Eureka receives startling insight from an enchanted pond. Her bewildering reflection reveals a soul-crushing secret: If she's strong enough, Eureka can draw on this knowledge to defeat Atlas - unless her broken heart is just what he needs to fuel his rising kingdom....

In Waterfall, Eureka has the chance to save the world. But she'll have to give up everything - even love.

Cheap ending

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

No. The first book was intriguing but running off across a rainbow and dying! I mean really. ...I normally enjoy lauren kate but it was obvious she rushed for publishing and the ending of a series makes or breaks the book!

What aspect of Erin Spencers performance would you have changed?

Performance well done

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

Nope

Sometimes a novel should end.... Instead of dragging it onto a series!

Teardrop I truly enjoyed I feel it could of stood alone. It was a solid book. Waterfall tried to bring a new dimension to Teardrop unfortunately in my opinion it fell short.

Good book, performance lacking

The book itself was interesting. Haven't read a story like it yet using Atlantis and creating a story out of it. Definitely creative. Eureka is a flawed character which makes her more believable, I just had a hard time wrapping my head around the scope of the how this one girl affected the entire world. The performance was lacking though, the narrator was incredibly slow which drew it out too more and made it boring at times.

Horrible

I hated this book. I couldn't connect with the main character and with no connection you soon hate the book itself. It was stupid and I feel this cheated the whole teardrop series or duo.

They say that your school years are supposed to be the best years of your life, and that you should make the most of them because you'll miss them when you're all grown up. Up until Maisie Preston's senior year, she would have totally agreed with that statement. Life was great, she had everything going for her, excellent grades, great parents, an annoying yet caring twin brother, and an impossibly sweet boyfriend. Everything was perfect - that is until the arrival of Zach Anderson. A misfit delinquent that seemed to bring with him a lot of bad karma. Is it just a coincidence that his arrival marks a significant change in Maisie's life? Up until senior year, life was perfect, but things seem to be going downhill fast.

Nothing like her other books

Would you try another book from Kirsty Moseley and/or Talmadge Ragan?

I love the other 2 books by Kirsty...I own in audio and kindle format. Those were great books and I can't even get into this one. The narrator was kind of annoying with the dictation, but it almost seemed like it was altered.

Would you ever listen to anything by Kirsty Moseley again?

Yes

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Her dictation was kind of off. Maybe I noticed because I was really trying to get into the story.

Good story line

Was a good book but the constant rileybear got old really quick.!the narrator was ok, but i think a younger narrator would have done wonders!!

Fantastic

If you could sum up Free Falling in three words, what would they be?

My ideal read.

What about Talmadge Ragans performance did you like?

Yes. Very good.

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

Yes definitely.

Any additional comments?

Love Kirsty Moseley's books. Love Audible. Would definitely recommend. Thank you.

Great story

Love the story!!! No surprise, Kristy has such great characters and storylines.

Narration was not quite right, issues with volume changing through story and the voice sounded slightly robotic. Also sounded too old for the characters

Members Reviews:

Emotional Rollercoaster

Extremely impressed with the story and the character build up. I was in knots when Will and Layla were having relationship issues and Will couldn't communicate properly without putting Layla in danger.

Well written and worthwhile listen

This story is incredibly well written. The narrator provides a depth to the characters that only enhances the story. I loved this book and found the entire series thoughtful, well written, and well developed. I look forward to reading more of Ms. Grant's work.

very good series

Would you listen to The Lake again? Why?

no I usually only read books once and move on to another

Any additional comments?

I loved all 3 books in this series. I enjoy reading but really like listening when I am able to walk and enjoy exercising. I love the fact I can read multiple books with the same characters and continue the journey with them.

meh

Good writing style, but I didnt fall in love with the characters or plot like I had anticipated. The romance seemed too rushed and her integration to the clique too seamless. The self loathing of her character was portrayed well, but the author's attempt to make the heroine appear strong and courageous was weak. I found myself often bored, and will not be reading the next novel.

loved it !

So good I had to get the rest of the trilogy. The plot was had a nice spin, so although I thought I knew the ending, I really didn't.

Publisher's Summary:

A ballerina, twirling on a wire high above the crowd. Horses, prancing like salsa dancers. Trapeze artists, flying like somersaulting falcons. And magic crackling through the air. Welcome to the Cirque American!

Sixteen-year-old Jules Maronis dream is to follow in her fathers footsteps as a high-wire walker. When her family is offered a prestigious role in the new Cirque American, it seems that Jules and the Amazing Maronis will finally get the spotlight they deserve. But the presence of the Flying Garcias may derail her plans. For decades, the two rival families have avoided each other as sworn enemies.

Jules ignores the drama and focuses on the wire, skyrocketing to fame as the girl in a red tutu who dances across the wire at death-defying heights. But when she discovers a peacock feather - an infamous object of bad luck - planted on her costume, Jules nearly loses her footing. She has no choice but to seek help from the unlikeliest of people: Remy Garcia, son of the Garcia clan matriarch and the best trapeze artist in the Cirque.

As more mysterious talismans believed to possess unlucky magic appear, Jules and Remy unite to find the culprit. And if they dont figure out whats going on soon, Jules may be the first Maroni to do the unthinkable: fall.

Members Reviews:

Mostly dreamy, like a parasol.

I enjoyed listening to this book-- with only a few exceptions:

1) Occasionally, the narrating actress gives sentences a weird emphasis. It's moderately distracting, but rare enough that I didn't get frustrated.

2) I'm no circus performer but I would swear that, once or twice, the author added enough random details to betray the fact that she has a flawed understanding of how an actual safety net works.

Besides this, there were several lovely sections in the main character's voice, plus a few descriptions that added value to the piece, and I look forward to more from this author.

Romeo and Juliet at the Circus

I recently read a bunch of books that were inspired by or retellings of classics. Girl on a Wire was the least obvious retelling of the bunch. In fact, at first I didn't even realize I was reading a Romeo and Juliet tale. Wire-walker Julietta (Jules) Maroni joins the Cirque American with the hope that her family will finally receive the recognition they deserve. However, the Cirque American is also the home of a family of trapeze artists who are the Maroni's rivals, the Garcias. Together and in secret Jules and Romeo (Remy) Garcia seek to unravel the mysteries of the past, discover why their families are enemies, and who wants the past to repeat itself. Gwenda Bond's book is full of mystery and the romance of the circus.

In a lovely coincide I happened to be listening to this book while I was in Sarsota, Florida. Sarasota was were the Ringling Circus had their winter quarters and there is still a bit of a circus presence there with the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art and the Ringling College of Art and Design. I saw some of the circus paraphernalia at museum, including the train cars.

Surprisingly engrossing

The question is whether you're into magical circus crime or not. If you don't know, pick this up and check it out for yourself. That's what happened to me.

Before reading this book, I really hadn't thought about the circus at all, ever. I picked this up primarily because I'm a fan of Gwenda Bond and her excellent Lois Lane YA series.
