Title: Crossing in Time: Between Two Evils #1

Author: D. L. Orton

Narrator: Noah Michael Levine, Erin deWard

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10 hrs and 17 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-07-15

Publisher: Rocky Mountain Press

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 77 votes

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

If someone took everything you live for, how far would you go to get it back?

When offered a one-way trip to the past, Isabel sacrifices everything for a chance to change the rapidly deteriorating present - and see her murdered lover one last time. When she arrives 20 years in the past, buck naked and mortally wounded, she has 24 hours to convince a stunned but enraptured 19-year-old to change their future. Definitely easier said than done, as success means losing him to a brainy, smart-mouthed bombshell (her younger self), and that's a heart breaker, save the world or not.

This offbeat tale is about falling madly in love when one is too cynical for such things, letting go of pessimism when it's the last life jacket on a sinking ship, and racing against the clock when one doesn't have the proper footwear. It's a coming-of-age story for old fogeys, a how-to-make-love guide for diehard celibates, and a laugh-out-loud tragedy with a hopeful twist.

Epic Story and Performance!

Wow! This story,and narration blew me away! It was AWESOME! Let's see, where do I start?

First the narration! WOW! After learning this story was narrated by the duo Noah Michael Levine, and Erin DeWard who just won the 2016 Audie Award in Erotic, I was expecting an awesome performance; however, this duo surpassed any expectation I had on an awesome performance. Their performance is absolutely the best I've heard, and the best I have in my library of over 400 audiobooks. Crossing in Time is worth listening too just for the performance alone! Not only did they bring this story to life, but each characters voice, and emotions felt so real. For example, I literally had chills when one of the characters attempted to attack another one, and the emotions from both of these characters felt real, I couldn't help but to react to their emotions. A truly riveting performance that has set the bar high when rating future performances.

Now on to the story! What an amazing well written story, with a plot that had a diverse blend of sci-fi/time travel, romance, thriller, humor, and dystopian rolled into an unique and exciting plot that kept me guessing. I haven't read many time travel stories; however, this story kinda reminded me of Peter Clines, The Fold, because of how each universe effected the other but with a major emphasis on the romance, and love between Isabel and Deigo as the fate of the universe could vary well depend on their relationship. This story has some pretty intense moments, that kept me on the edge, and guessing what was going to happen next.

The story does end on a cliffhanger, so we do not know if Isabel going back in time has saved the universes, but I am looking forward to finding out how the plot unfolds in book two. Also, the story started off a little slow, and I was wondering when it was going to pick up, but then it exploded.literally....

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

As a girl, Genevieve Martin spent the happiest summer of her life in Paris, learning the delicate art of locksmithing at her uncle's side. But since then, living back in the States, she has become more private, more subdued. She has been an observer of life rather than an active participant, holding herself back from those around her, including her soon-to-be ex-husband. Paris never really left Genevieve, and, as her marriage crumbles, she finds herself faced with an incredible opportunity: return to the magical city of her youth to take over her late uncle's shop. But as she absorbs all that Parisian culture has to offer, she realizes that the city also holds secrets about her family that could change her forever, and that locked doors can protect you or imprison you, depending on which side of them you stand.

Critic Reviews:

"A gorgeously plotted novel woven with luminescent charm, The Paris Key gleams as brightly as the city herself." (Rachael Herron, author of Splinters of Light)

Members Reviews:

Paris As I Know Her

Finally a chance to gather my thoughts to review THE PARIS KEY, one of my absolute favorite recent releases by an excellent author I've only recently discovered. I enjoyed every aspect of this novel. The characters seem fresh, interesting and well developed. The setting is expertly and lovingly rendered. The storyline held my interest throughout. The reader, XE Sands, did a terrific job, but really needs to work on her Irish and Scottish accents . Overall, I enjoyed this so much, I actually listened to it several times and then bought the kindle version. Congratulations, Ms. Blackwell, you have written another wonderful novel, which I think could easily become the first in a fabulous new series!!!

Delightful!

I really enjoy Juliet Blackwell's stories. They are far from boring and even though I usually prefer raunchy novels I don't get bored with her books. They make a delightful change of pace once in a while.

Xe Sands is often not everyone's cup of tea as a narrator but she did a lovely job not butchering the copious amounts of french in this book.

Well worth your credit on a dreary day when you are in need of a light whimsical story with a touch of mystery and sleuthing.

Not a cozy murder mystery but a cozy slice of life

Juliet Blackwell usually writes cozy murder mysteries but she has taken a delightful turn in 'The Paris Key'. A wonderful slice of life story in the vein of 'Under the Tuscan Sun' as a Californian woman goes on a journey to find her footing as she prepares for her divorce and instead finds herself in ways she never expected.

Ms. Blackwell does her usual magnificent job painting characters, history, and cities with her easy going literary brush.

Xe Sands narration is so soothing and calming--perfect after a long day or for a lazy weekend.

It was in a great listen

crossiant and chocolate

A love story and a bit of mystery. I love how authentic the story felt. I was transported to a place and saw it, felt it and smelled it with the words written by the author and brought to life by the narrator. I was sad it ended because I enjoyed every minute.

Disappointing and predictactable

Would you try another book from Juliet Blackwell and/or Xe Sands?

I usually enjoy Juliet Blackwell's writing and Xe Sands' narration.

What was most disappointing about Juliet Blackwells story?

The story was meandering and predictable.

Finally! More Miss Read books from Audible

Another lovely Miss Read book, this one about the delightful schoolmistresses. You cannot go wrong with Miss Read's tales of the Cotswold village, Thrush Green. These books always put me in a good mood, and Gwen Watford's narration is pitch-perfect as always. A great use of a credit. You won't regret this one. I often start Miss Read's books over just after finishing, and this one was no exception. Starts out strong and continues from strength to strength.

I wish more Miss Read books were available on Audible!

Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc.

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

Harley Altmyer should be in college drinking Rolling Rock and chasing girls. He should be freed from his closed-minded, stricken coal town, with its lack of jobs and no sense of humor. Instead, he's constantly reminded of just how messed up his life is.

With his mother in jail for killing his abusive father, Harley is an orphan with the responsibilities of an adult and the fiery, aggressive libido of a teenager. Just nineteen years old, he's marooned in the Pennsylvania backwoods caring for his three younger sisters, whose feelings about him range from stifling dependence to loathing. And once he develops an obsession with the sexy, melancholic mother of two living down the road, those Victoria's Secret catalogs just won't do the trick anymore. He wants Callie Mercer so badly he fears he will explode. But it's the family secrets, the lies, and the unspoken truths that light the fuse and erupt into a series of staggering surprises, leaving what's left of his family in tatters. Through every ordeal, the unforgettable Harley could never know that his endearing humor, his love for his sisters, and his bumbling heroics would redeem them all.

Funny and heartbreaking, Tawni O'Dell's pitch-perfect characters capture the maddening confusion of adolescence and the prickly nature of family with irony and unerring honesty. Back Roads is a riveting novel by a formidable talent.

Members Reviews:

Intriguing but dark

I chose this book because I have relatives in this part of Pennsylvania. I think it was also on Oprahs list. I was curious about what kind of story would take place within the backwoods, rural hunting culture and poverty in that area. The story is riveting, but disturbing enough I considered stopping before it was over. If you have a strong stomach, its worth the read.

Dark Book!

very disturbing book, but well written and very sad this story is no rainbows & butterflies . Well written book.

A tad too dark & hopeless for me

This is well-written and offers insights into the lives of children who grow up physically and emotionally abused. I listened to the end, because the story is compelling and the narrator mostly sympathetic, but had to stop often and turn to music. I can't say I enjoyed this - too dark! - but that's a very personal experience.

Title: Kitchens of the Great Midwest

Subtitle: A Novel

Author: J. Ryan Stradal

Narrator: Amy Ryan, Michael Stuhlbarg

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10 hrs and 7 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-28-15

Publisher: Penguin Audio

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 710 votes

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

Kitchens of the Great Midwest, about a young woman with a once-in-a-generation palate who becomes the iconic chef behind the country's most coveted dinner reservation, is the summer's most hotly-anticipated debut.

When Lars Thorvald's wife, Cynthia, falls in love with wine - and a dashing sommelier - he's left to raise their baby, Eva, on his own. He's determined to pass on his love of food to his daughter - starting with puréed pork shoulder. As Eva grows, she finds her solace and salvation in the flavors of her native Minnesota. From Scandinavian lutefisk to hydroponic chocolate habaneros, each ingredient represents one part of Eva's journey as she becomes the star chef behind a legendary and secretive pop-up supper club, culminating in an opulent and emotional feast that's a testament to her spirit and resilience.

Each chapter in J. Ryan Stradal's startlingly original debut tells the story of a single dish and character, at once capturing the zeitgeist of the Midwest, the rise of foodie culture, and delving into the ways food creates community and a sense of identity. By turns quirky, hilarious, and vividly sensory, Kitchens of the Great Midwest is an unexpected mother-daughter story about the bittersweet nature of life - its missed opportunities and its joyful surprises. It marks the entry of a brilliant new talent.

Editorial Reviews:

"[Kitchens of the Great Midwest is] the first novel about the emergence and current state of foodie culture...Fundamentally, [it's] about what happens when opposing personalities coexist...." (Book Forum)

Critic Reviews:

"Ryan and Stuhlbarg shine as they use subtle pacing and tone to portray the unique personalities of each character, adding just the slightest hints of a Midwestern accent to give authenticity and differentiation. Stradal's skillful writing delivered by accomplished narrators offers listeners a debut performance to savor." (AudioFile)

Members Reviews:

So satisfying

It was a great experience. The story is quite clever, and all of its parts fit together so satisfyingly. The Story went a little over the top, at times, but in this scheme, it was somehow ok. Having spent some time in the Twin Cities, and having grown up in Wisconsin, I loved the regional familiarity. I loved the narrators dialect, and I especially love bars.

Good story

I found this a very interesting story. Kept my attention. Found I needed to listen carefully as the characters from each chapters intertwined and where some meet in the last chapter of the book. The narration was very good and the main character Eva was strong and I found you became vested in the characters. All in all, I really enjoyed.

unevenly cooked!

I wanted to love this whole book as much as I loved the beginning chapters. But not all of the chapters, each one being a microcosm of the heroine's life at some stage, were interesting. I still give it 3 stars. The beginning, with poor smelly lutefisk king Lars, whose social awkwardness encourages a love affair with food, was inspired and hilarious. Lars is excited to plan meals for his baby Eva and introduce her to his favorites, like pork shoulder, from Day One. The baby's pediatrician has to dash his hopes.

Title: When the Moon Is Low

Author: Nadia Hashimi

Narrator: Sneha Mathan, Neil Shah

Format: Unabridged

Length: 12 hrs and 34 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-21-15

Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc.

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 964 votes

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

From the author of The Pearl That Broke Its Shell comes an unforgettable story of terror, survival, perseverance, and hope that chronicles one extraordinarily brave Afghan woman's odyssey to save her family and find asylum in the West - a tale of a daring escape, a perilous trek across Europe, and the courage and tenacity of one defiant woman.

Mahmood's passion for his wife, Fereiba, a schoolteacher, is greater than any love she's ever known. But their happy middle-class world - a life of education, work, and comfort - implodes when their country is engulfed in war and the Taliban rises to power.

Mahmood, a civil engineer, becomes a target of the new fundamentalist regime and is murdered. Forced to flee Kabul with her three children, Fereiba has one hope to survive: She must find a way to cross Europe and reach her sister's family in England. With forged papers and help from kind strangers they meet along the way, Fereiba and her children make a dangerous crossing into Iran under cover of darkness. Exhausted and brokenhearted but undefeated, Fereiba manages to smuggle them as far as Greece. But in a busy market square, their fate takes a frightening turn when her teenage son, Saleem, becomes separated from the rest of the family. Faced with an impossible choice, Fereiba pushes on with her daughter and baby while Saleem falls into the shadowy underground network of undocumented Afghans who haunt the streets of Europe's capitals. Fereiba and Saleem struggle to reunite and ultimately find a place where they can begin to reconstruct their lives.

Members Reviews:

Not Written So Much As Sung!

I didn't mean to listen to this from start to finish with only a tiny nap in between, honest I didn't. It was just too damned engaging, the characters were so well-fleshed out, and the writing! They weren't just words on a page, they were a darned hymn! If I could write like this I'd be sitting at my laptop day and night, enthralled, thankful.

Instead, I'm listening to "When the Moon Is Low," by Nadia Hashimi, enthralled, thankful.

From the beginning, Fereiba is a strong, immensely likable character, kept at home, who will do anything for an education. Then she is swirled through the waters of the conventions of arranged marriage only to get off on an answered prayer.

But nothing is ever easy in Afghanistan. An arranged marriage might not be the worst thing in the world.

As Fereiba says, she lives through, "many regime changes in Afghanistan." Starting with the death of her mother. And it goes from there. There's her stepmother, but there's the Soviet Union as she gets her teaching certificate too. And the Taliban.

Everything goes from loving exposition to utterly breathless from there, but characterization never fails and plot never falters. And once again, at the danger of being hopelessly repetitive, the writing is exemplary.

Sneha Mathan and Neil Shah turn in wonderful performances. I kinda had reservations about Neil Shah, having heard him in a previous audiobook where he turned in a capable but less than stellar performance, and here was a book than demanded fantastic. I was really, really pleased. The hand-off from Fereiba to Saleem is credible, pulse-pounding, and humane.

Spend the money, spend the credit, spend the time on this truly awesome story.

Length: 9 hrs and 18 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-21-15

Publisher: HarperAudio

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 602 votes

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

Jay Crownover's New York Times and USA Today best-selling Marked Men series continues with the much anticipated story of Southern charmer and certified criminal Asa Cross.

Starting over in Denver with a whole new circle of friends and family, Asa Cross struggles with being the man he knows everyone wants him to be and the man he knows he really is. A leopard doesn't change its spots, and Asa has always been a predator. He doesn't want to hurt those who love and rely on him, especially one luscious arresting cop who suddenly seems to be interested in him for far more than his penchant for breaking the law. But letting go of old habits is hard, and it's easy to hit bottom when it's the place you know best.

Royal Hastings is quickly learning what the bottom looks like after a tragic situation at work threatens not only her career but her partner's life. As a woman who has only ever had a few real friends, she's trying to muddle through her confusion and devastation all alone. Except she can't stop thinking about the sexy Southern bartender she locked up. Crushing on Asa is the last thing she needs, but his allure is too strong to resist. His long criminal record can only hurt her already shaky career, and chasing after a guy who has no respect for the law or himself can only end in heartbreak.

A longtime criminal and a cop together just seems so wrong...but for Asa and Royal, being wrong together is the only right choice to make.

Members Reviews:

Guilty pleasure

This is the last book in the Marked Men series and it was a satisfying ending. This series isn't high brow literature, but they're fun reads and the narration is better than average. This particular story line didn't interest me as much as some of the previous books (Rule, Rome, Rowdy and Nash) and the names started to get just a little bit ridiculous. Still, it was an enjoyable few hours and worth a listen if you've read the rest of the series.

Great ending to a great series!

What did you love best about Asa?

His ability to finally forgive himself!

What did you like best about this story?

Romance, past characters, Asa, Asa, Asa

Who was the most memorable character of Asa and why?

Asa.. He is beautiful inside and out

Any additional comments?

Narration was amazing!!!

Perfection

Christian Fox is a PERFECT Asa!!! Loved the book and the narration it's very rare I love both but this combo was one of the best I have ever listened to. Absolutely Flawless.

Jay Crownover never disappoints!

Loved this final installment to the series. Both characters were interesting and so filled with love. This book had the perfect amount of angst and drama but fun too.

Wow sheer brilliance

Jay your work is stunning and beautiful. Thank you for that awesome story and we thank you for sharing it with us, your readers. Cheers. Great read.

With some help from her friends and her noisy and loving family, Holly finds herself laughing, crying, singing, dancing - and being braver than ever before.

Resumen del editor:

El mayor fenómeno editorial de los últimos años. Literariamente adictivo.

Quién mató a Nola Kellergan es la gran incógnita a desvelar en esta incomparable historia policíaca cuya experiencia de lectura escapa a cualquier tentativa de descripción. Intentémoslo:

Una novela de suspense a tres tiempos -1975, 1998 y 2008- acerca del asesinato de una joven de quince años en la pequeña ciudad de Aurora, en New Hampshire.

En 2008, Marcus Goldman, un joven escritor, visita a su mentor -Harry Quebert, autor de una aclamada novela- y descubre que éste tuvo una relación secreta con Nola Kellergan. Poco después, Harry es arrestado y acusado de asesinato al encontrarse el cadáver de Nola enterrado en su jardín.

Marcus comienza a investigar y a escribir un libro sobre el caso. Mientras busca demostrar la inocencia de Harry, una trama de secretos sale a la luz. La verdad sólo llega al final de un largo, intrincado y apasionante recorrido.

El mejor libro del año para los lectores de El País.

La crítica ha dicho:

El furor despertado por el jovencísimo Dicker y su magistral novela es un furor real, porque estamos ante el gran thriller que todo el mundo esperaba desde Millenium de Larsson, ante una voz napoleónica, que no escribe, boxea Una novela que no es una novela, es una batalla. Como todo gran libro que se precie.

Laura Fernández, El Cultural de El Mundo

Llega el fenómeno Dicker... El sucesor de Stieg Larsson y E. L. James... Entretenimiento en vena... Un vuelapáginas que será la novela del verano... Terriblemente adictivo.

Antonio Lozano, La Vanguardia

Hay algo fantástico en la precisión cinematográfica con que el narrador, el joven Markus Goldman, transcribe lo que ocurrió hace 33 años... La novela de Joël Dicker pertenece a ese tipo de literatura que genera literatura, es decir, que invita a continuar inventando novelas. Su simplicidad, sencillez o facilidad es sólo aparente, y de eso se trata el caso Quebert: de la costumbre humana de simular, fingir y mentir.

Justo Navarro, Babelia (portada, Fenómeno planetario)

Esta novela se aplaudirá y estudiará en los talleres de escritura. Un thriller modélico, con la solvencia de Larsson Lea este libro. Enrique de Hériz, El Periódico de Catalunya

Chapeau al joven suizo que escribió la primera novela ilustrada sin ilustraciones y la hizo totalmente interactiva. Y, además, funciona de una manera clásica, analógica, sólo con la memoria.
