Publisher's Summary:

From National Book Award nominee Laura McNeal comes a gripping, tautly told novel that is at once hopeful and harrowing. Perfect for fans of We Were Liars and Bone Gap.

When Thisbe Locke is last seen standing on the edge of the Coronado Bridge, it looks like there is only one thing to call it. But her sister, Ted, is not convinced. Despite the witnesses and the police reports and the divers and the fact that she was heartbroken about the way things ended with Clay and how she humiliated herself at that party, Thisbe isn't the type of person to end up just an "incident".

While everyone in town prepares to mourn the loss (some more than others), Ted and Fen, the new kid in town, set out to put the pieces together and find her sister.

But if Thisbe didn't jump, what happened up on that bridge?

Critic Reviews:

"....McNeal writes with a mature hand, expert pacing, and an immediacy that ensures readers will be engrossed." (Publishers Weekly)

Choices and the Ramifications of Those Choices

A young girl has made what is, for her, a life choice she deeply regrets. Teens so often view choice as black or white, life or death, and this is exactly what this book explores so well along with the secrecy that teens naturally employ. Young adults excel at keeping parents in the dark, reacting to what they perceive as total failure, trying to deal with their issues alone and often making rash decisions along the way(which can have dire repercussions.) In The Incident on the Bridge, Laura McNeal, has explored these concepts and written an exceptional book. It was engrossing, believable, her character were well rounded and very human and she portrayed the story from multiple points of view.

A cut above most YA fiction

I think I've read all of Laura McNeal's novels and this ranks among her best. Told from a number of perspectives and incorporating interesting and varied stylistic approaches, this book demands your attention and concentration, but the payoff is worth it. I always expect beautiful writing with McNeal, but she may have even surpassed her prose in Dark Water. As an easterner, I wasn't familiar with the setting, but now I feel in could sail the Pacific-or at least as far as Catalina. The central mystery--what happened to Thisbe--keeps the narrative tense and suspenseful, and she captures the uncertainty, angst, and dry, morbid humor of teens without resorting to the emotionally manipulative tricks of many YA authors. A highly recommended read for the summer.

Well written but with disappointing conclusion path

I generally i liked the book very much. The author cleverly revealed pieces of the plot through the narratives of different characters, with chapters devoted to each. The plot kept my interest - wondering how it would be resolved - until he author or kind of abruptly concluded the story in a most dissatisfying manner - almost like she couldn't be bothered to fill in details to make the final chapters a bit more dramatic or at least to have the reader feel the story was completed.

LOVED IT

I loved this book. The writing is gorgeous. The characters are thoughtful, interesting and compelling. The novel is a page-turner. Laura McNeal is a magnificent writer.

Excellent teen novel.

A great book to keep kids interest not bad for adults either. McNeal paints pictures with words.

Modern day fairy tale

I really want to start the next book so I can see how the story ends.

touching and
imaginative

Narrating was exceptional and the story was very touching. this story could easily be made into a sequel.

Short story

Any additional comments?

I received a free audio copy in exchange for a fair and honest review.

I definitely liked the narrator of this book. This was definitely a short story but audio book wise it felt a little shorter than it should have been. But that may have been the intervals I listened to it in.

I have read this book both in audio and in ebook (as I have it in both) and definitely enjoyed both versions but there's just something better being able to "read" while driving and running errands. Or going and doing work that doesn't require you to have to pay attention to others.

The narrator paced her reading very well. She didn't go too fast or too slow. Which was really nice.

As to the plot, I had a feeling about how it was going to wind up at the end and I'm glad it did end that way.

The spark of a young relationship starts

Would you listen to Lantern again? Why?

Yes, I would. The story is a sweet story. It's a perfect blossom of love story for Young Adults. Clean, innocent, and attracting. The lantern is a different idea and is lovely.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Lantern?

As much as I adore Tori and Jared, I really loved the hint of Machin and what he does. Machin is more than what we think, and the epilogue shows that. I loved it! I even wonder if we could see more stories from Machin's doings. -- When you get through this story, you'll understand why. ;)

Have you listened to any of Jill Magliones other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes. One other story. She puts her heart into the characters. I love when narrators do strong different tones and personalities for characters. Jill does just that! Kimmy is a toddler, and Jill does a wonderful youngster voice. Even for Tori, when Tori talks to her little brother Kimmy, it's as many talk to toddlers and different when she talks to her friend and adults. Oh the attitude in Moretta came through loud and clear. Grrr, I don't like her for that. lol. Well done. A slight accent for Grandma as well.

Any additional comments?

I love the sounds of the plantation. The large home reminds her of a haunted mansion and lots of different gardens. It sounds like a beautiful sight.

I like the feel I get from Tori and her family. She feels like a great family person even for a teenager of sixteen. She does defy her mother's rule, to not go to the lantern. Tori feels bad about it, but she still goes. She does talk to an adult about it, her grandmother. Tori seems like a good kid and raised well by her parents who are present and try to guide her on the right path. Tori also loves her little brother and treats him so well, even with 13 years difference between them. Jared seems like a sweet young man.

I love this book, but the audio was not good at all as the voice did breakdown all the time which make difficult fo follow the story line, so I have to end reading the book with out the audio.

Members Reviews:

time well spent

Well crafted story with good pacing, suspense, and setup. Definitely worth the time to listen.

Excellent mystery and adventure

When I started Laura Wolfe's Trail of Secrets, I was immediately pulled in by the characterization of Brynlei and the other girls and animals at the Foxwoode riding academy. A summer camp for girls that excel at horses is the perfect setting for a ghostly mystery. The cabins with squeaky floors and woods that seem to have eyes.

The voice of Kelli Andresen brings the entire story a vivacious and energetic feel. Reminding the reader that these are teenage girls. The horse detail was really nice to read and learn. It is a really great story and kept me involved and interested. If you like a good mystery, then this is a good book to read.

A Good mystery

This was a good mystery with some unique twists and elements. Can't divulge too much without giving a spoiler away. I found the climax and resolution to be the most satisfying part of the book. Exceptional.

Great book with the best narrator!

I really enjoyed this book. The characters, plot, all of it! Although, the narrator is key to a great audible, not just the book itself, and the narrator of this book read the dialogue with such emotion, almost like you could close your eyes and hear the scene play out in front of you. Her voice is powerful and clear, suited for this book. Totally recommend the book and the narrator!

Headline

It was very good ..however the character voices were a little odd,overall her pauses and sense of reading made the story sound extremely vivid and real

Loved this book!

Wow, this narrator is amazing! She is perfect for this book. This book was so amazing also, I found myself saying "whattttttt omg " about 15 times. I'm in love with this series and can't wait for the 3rd book to come out!

Ok story....

I like the story line. I don't care for the crazy repeat of craziness in her head... I really do not like this narrator at all! All the men sound like they are trying to poo. It's very very annoying when she try's to do a males voice... I'm just about to get rid of this book for that reason.

Surprise!

Good story but this girl is like watching electricity run loose through a bomb factory! whew!

Publisher's Summary:

A cop on a mission. A woman running from her fate. Both on a collision course with evil....

In the pulse-pounding sequel to Bad Wolf, the nightmare that ripped open two lives slips from the darkness to once again stalk the streets of Portland.

Three months after his partner mysteriously vanished, detective John Gallagher remains haunted by his encounter with something that should not exist. With no clues as to his partner's disappearance, detective Lara Mendes is presumed dead, but Gallagher refuses to give up the search. Like a man possessed, he pushes himself to the brink to find her.

At a downtown firing range, 17-year-old Amy Gallagher is taught how to fire a gun by her father. She goes along for his sake, but Amy is increasingly troubled by her father's instability. His nightmares, paranoia, and obsession with finding his missing partner are clear signs of post-traumatic stress, but her pleas for him to seek help fall on deaf ears. Chafing under his strict rules, Amy struggles to save her dad before he pushes himself over the edge.

Two hundred miles away, a woman with a terrible secret hides in the vastness of the Oregon wilderness, desperate to outrun her fate. Banished into self-imposed exile with a worsening condition, ex-detective Lara Mendes has exhausted any hope for a cure to her cursed existence. With no options left, her last chance at peace may be to take her own life.

Stalking her through the pines is a primordial nightmare plucked straight from a Grimm's fairytale. It wants Lara Mendes and will stop at nothing to get her.

The only question that remains is who will get to her first, and what will Lara do when they come?

Water Ghost

I enjoyed this audiobook. The author has a way of putting you right there with her characters.

Loved it!

I have listened to another book by Linda, and have loved both of them! It is a great story and Aaron had a great delivery. I loved the characters and the fantasy/history weaved into the story. Thank you!

Kathleen Holeman - narrator and jazz musician

Thrilling YA paranormal adventure

James was an interesting, likable character and the Chinese mythology elements were very well incorporated in the story. The narrator did a great job, each character was distinct and different from the other.

This was a good listen, even though I had some issues with the plot. Mainly I feel like there was too little happening and sometimes side stories got too much attention. For example, the ghost's story too almost 2 hours, and I felt like it was a bit boring and would have like more focus to be on the main story. That made the ending rushed in my opinion, and the cliffhanger ending made it more so. Despite that I would gladly read the next book and am interested in what will happen next.

"This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review."

nice young adult book

I liked this book very much is a cool book

with a great storyline and a great narrator the book was very cool and I enjoyed to listen to it quite much

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review."

Pretty decent

Finally finished this one! It wasnt bad! I liked the storytelling and the authors way of setting the scene. The narrator was decent as wellno major transition problems and his diction was concise.

Title: Plus One

Author: Elizabeth Fama

Narrator: Julia Whelan

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10 hrs and 3 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-16-15

Publisher: Elizabeth Fama

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 14 votes

Genres: Teens, Mysteries & Thrillers

Publisher's Summary:

A dying wish. A family divided. A love that defies the law.

Sol Le Coeur is a Smudge - a night dweller in an America rigidly divided between people who wake, live, and work during the hours of darkness and those known as Rays, who live and work during daylight. Impulsive, passionate, and brave, Sol concocts a plan to kidnap her newborn niece - a Ray - in order to bring the baby to visit her dying grandfather. Sol's violation of the day/night curfew is already a serious crime, but when her kidnap attempt goes awry, she stumbles on a government conspiracy to manipulate the Smudge population. Sol escapes the authorities with an unexpected ally: a Ray who gets in her way, a boy she might have hated if fate hadn't forced them on the run together - a boy the world now tells her she can't love.

Set in a vivid alternate reality and peopled with complex, deeply human characters on both sides of the day/night divide, Elizabeth Fama's Plus One is a brilliantly imagined drama of individual liberty and civil rights, and a fast-paced romantic adventure story.

Members Reviews:

Great Start

Would you consider the audio edition of Plus One to be better than the print version?

The audio is always better. I love the narrator.

What does Julia Whelan bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

Julia Whelan knows how to weave a story with her voice that puts you in the book as a character. An immersive experience.

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

Both!

opposites do not have to be that

I really enjoyed listening to the book, Ms Whelan's voice is very pleasant and versatile. The French accents are well done! Loved the voices she gave the many characters, especially D'Arcy.

As for the story, it was a bit confusing at the beginning, but I stuck with it because I wanted to know where it was going. I am glad I did, as the story progressed I got more engrossed in it and getting to know more about the main characters and their stories. Quite a few twists and new discoveries that I didn't expect, made this a story I can recommend with confidence. Hopefully there will be more.

Love the cover, the designer did an amazing job! It is what caught my attention to this book.

Love conquers all!

I absolutely loved plus one, it captured me completely and I devoured the whole book in one day. It's a great young adult dystopian read that will have you begging for more when it's finished. Sol is an amazing character with wisdom, honor, selflessness and strength beyond her 16 years. The story follows her through the trials that occur after she tries to make her grandfathers dying wish come true. We see her go from highs to lows through joy and grief and all while not knowing who to trust, and to top it all of there a romantic twist that makes us all realise that fate does play a huge part in our lives. I enjoyed this story so much that I have already began the prequel short story 'Noma Girl' and I already know that's not going to be enough of this world or characters for me, please Elizabeth Fama write a whole series!.

I definitely recommend this book to everyone both lovers of YA and even the doubters, go on give it a try.

I hope this review has helped you, can you please rate it positively if you liked it as it really means a lot to me, Many Thanks for reading:).

This book lacked consistency along the story lines and the characters were hard to believe.
