Publisher's Summary:

Ellen claims to possess a sixth sense but Monty, a former P.I., only believes what he can see. Ellen views their work as a sacred mission while Monty just wants a happy wife and a paycheck.

In Ghost Fire, paranormal investigators Ellen and Monty Drew go to West Los Angeles for some rest and relaxation, as well as to shop for items to redecorate their home. But, apparently, there is to be no respite. Ellen is a ghost magnet, and they now have about 48 hours to solve a spontaneous combustion mystery in a haunted co-op art gallery before its grand opening in Venice, California. Spirits abound, including a flapper from the 1920s who haunts the Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica, the tormented ghost of a jockey, the spirit of a horse that shows up at a barbeque, the ghost of a former professor's wife, the possession of a cab driver, an ex-nun who paints dead people she's never met, and the accidental release of one ticked-off chupacabra spirit.

Will Monty and Ellen get roasted by the poltergeist? Will they ever get to the beach? This is Ellen and Monty Drew's most ghost-packed paranormal investigation case yet. It is also the most romantic. Is it the scariest of The Ghost Files series? You decide!

Robotic Performance

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

This is a good short series but the reader sounds very robotic. It almost turns your off from listening, but if you can get past that, then the story isn't so bad.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Ghost Fire?

Nothing stands out per say, but as I said, it's an okay story.

What aspect of John M. Perrys performance would you have changed?

Have his reading sound less robotic and add more feeling.

Do you think Ghost Fire needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

Yes, just get a different reader!

Publisher's Summary:

Celia Graves's newest client is one of the last surviving members of a magical family that is trapped in a generations-old feud with other magic-workers. She is supposed to die at the next full moon unless Celia can broker peace between the clans or break the curse before it can take effect.

For the first time in a long while, Celia's personal life is looking up. Her vampire abilities seem to be under control, her Siren abilities have gotten more reliable, and even though her office was blown up, her services are more in demand than ever now that she's fought off terrorists and been part of the royal wedding of the year. Her friends all seem to be finding love and her grandmother has finally agreed to go to family therapy.

The only trouble spot is Celia's love life. Not long ago, she had two boyfriends. Now she barely has one, and she isn't sure she wants him. But Bruno DeLuca is a powerful mage, and Celia needs his help...especially after she is attacked and her client is kidnapped.

Title: Vampire Blood

Publisher's Summary:

For years, the vampire family lived in the shadows, hidden by the night and people's disbelief; feeding on animals or throw away people who would never be missed. But as the family moves into an old theater, and uses it to cover up their crimes, the youngest of them are restless and determined to live as they like. Recklessly. Killing and feeding when and where they want. Feeding on who they want.

Only the parent vampires have managed to keep them in check. But no longer.

Unaware of the night stalking menace, the townspeople of Summer Haven, Florida, blithely go about their daily lives until, one by one, they begin to disappear. Screams are heard in the night. Fear grows. The lost are never found... alive.

But Jenny Lacey and her father, who are hired to renovate the old Grand Theater, can't escape when they find themselves caught up in the middle of the vampire's war. And, in the end, it's up to Jenny, her brother, Joey, and her ex-husband, Jeff (who she still loves and reconnects with in this audiobook happy ending there), to get rid of the bloodthirsty fiends that are destroying their town if they can.

Vampire Blood

I enjoyed this book.It was full of interesting things and people.Vampires come to a town and people start to disappear and animals are slaughtered.When someone comes to town and re opens the long closed theater,Jenny and her dad are hired to help fix it up.Worst decision ever! K.Orion Fray is ok reading this book.I found her narration to be a bit stodgy and unemotional.I was provided this book by the author, narrator or publisher.

Very well written and very frightening!

Where does Vampire Blood rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?

It's one of the top ten. It really caught me by surprised. I love this author and this was definitely one of her best ones. Very scary, loved the characters, and very well written.

What did you like best about this story?

The characters were very likable, and the town was also very likable. I wanted to live there. The environment was so inviting and comfortable, but then people started disappearing and showing up dead, and then the action really started! The more that I think about it, I think it was the fact the author let me get comfortable first, then she ripped it away. Tricky move really.

Which character as performed by K Orion Fray was your favorite?

The main character.

Critic Reviews:

"An absolutely fabulous new young adult novelThe story is fast and superbly told, and the characters are likable and believable." (Cory Doctorow, New York Times best-selling author of Little Brother)

Members Reviews:

PAINFUL* idea for young readers* lame Puns

What would have made Not Your Ordinary Wolf Girl better?

Taking out the horrible puns. This made the read annoying.

What could Emily Pohl-Weary have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

This book was a hard one for any narrator to make enjoyable. It was written for a young reader.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Annoyance.

Any additional comments?

This was a cute story. Young teen audience would best enjoy the read. The cheesy puns make it difficult to read. The story is simple and seems like the writer is a newer author. The style of writing is not developed.

Publisher's Summary:

The Wasteland is a world beyond our own. It is a rough and ragged landscape under a two-moon sky, inhabited by monsters and creatures that could almost pass for human. Into this alternate world unwitting people are brought, from both past and present, for reasons none of them know.

Chloe Mattison goes to sleep, drunk and heartbroken, in Washington, D.C., and wakes up in the Wasteland. Chloe is welcomed by Jack and Kitty, brother and sister from a Wild West frontier town. "You're one of us," they tell her, yet neither Jack nor Kitty, nor any of their companions, know why they were chosen.

Two questions loom large in all of their minds: Why are we here? Is there a way out of this corrupt, demon-filled world? Equal parts The Matrix and The Wizard of Oz, The Arrivals is a pause-resisting adventure set in a world you will not soon forget.

Members Reviews:

Pointless

What disappointed you about The Arrivals?

Just did not get anything out of it. Kept waiting for more to happen to make sense.

What could Melissa Marr have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Melissa should have shown that the wasteland was actually HELL.

Classic Horror not to miss

Lovecraft is one of if not me favorite Author. He is the founder of supernatural horror and this is one of his best.

great story

HP Lovecraft is always good. Weird wnd entertaining. Reading is hard to understand sometimes, but still enjoyable.

good story

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

yes

Any additional comments?

I finally got around to listening to a Lovecraft story and I enjoyed it very much. My only complaint is the narrator sounded a little muffled and his pronunciation was jumbled a bit while reading certain sentences. Overall a good audio book!

Take a pass.

Not particularly compelling. Racist even for its time, but reader is very good. No plans to read this author again since there are so many other great choices.

Title: Lyra's Oxford

Author: Philip Pullman

Narrator: Philip Pullman, Full Cast

Format: Unabridged

Length: 47 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-04-13

Publisher: Random House Audiobooks

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 5 votes

Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Fantasy: Paranormal

Publisher's Summary:

A beguiling new episode from the universe of His Dark Materials.

Lyra's Oxford opens two years after the conclusion of Philip Pullman's The Amber Spyglass in the comfort and familiarity of Jordan College, where Lyra and her daemon, Pantalaimon, sit on the sun-drenched roof looking out over all of Oxford. But their peace is shattered when a strange bird - a witch's daemon, on it's own - tumbles out of the sky, in search of a healing elixer to cure his witch of a strange new disease. Lyra and Pan decided to help - witches are friends, of course - but the closer their winding walk leads them towards the infamous Oxford alchemist, the stronger Lyra's sense that something is amiss.

Members Reviews:

2 years after

Lyra's Oxford takes place 2 years after the events in His Dark Materials. After saving a daemon belonging to a witch from being attacked by birds, Lyra is tasked by the witch's daemon to find a crazy old alchemist who can save her. Little does Lyra realise that their is more to the story. A great little addition to His Dark Materials and a good quick read.

Having "Phillip Pullman" as the author should automatically mean the book is 5 stars.

Phenomenal addition to the Dark Materials trilogy. Beautiful literature, a short but truly wonderful story full of little anecdotes from the Dark Materials universe. Helps enrich and complete the already vast universe.

Narrated by the author himself which brings the magic to life.

enjoyable 47 mins.

Any additional comments?

when Philip Pullman's his dark materials came above harry potter in the bbc's 100 greatest books I decided to listen to it and really enjoyed the experience. this follow up short story reminded me of the journey.

liked Philip Pullman reading his own bookwith the same cast taking part too.

good little children's' story

dramatised version, with separate voices and music. narrated by the author. generally the dramatisation works well. you need to have read one of his dark materials or seen the film golden compass to understand the world in which it's set properly.

A great listen!

Absolutely love Phillip Pullman and a great narrator. Shame it is one short story in Lyra's universe. Hopefully the Book Of Dust will be out soon

Publisher's Summary:

I didn't see Rebecca die the second time.

The United States military hides a secret: the completely real existence of one-bite-and-you're-dead zombies. An elite Special Forces unit has known they exist for over a hundred years, and has been quietly and expertly keeping the monsters at bay until now.

The sole survivor of the massacre at Fall Creek joins this elite unit to combat the single greatest threat our world has ever known. Even as victories over the walkers mount, true evil still lurks in the hearts of men, and at the last, only a brave few may survive.

A character-driven story similar to The Walking Dead on AMC, The Dying of the Light: End was a Top 5 Finalist in Kindle Book Review's Best Indie Books of 2012 competition. The sequel, Interval, is now available.

Members Reviews:

Couldn't finish

I've been at several writing sessions to hear the author talk about writing and publishing without actually reading his work. I gave it a try. As a result, I am now better informed about what people are willing to pay for and how the author makes his living.

The author himself is a nice guy. He comes to all kinds of writing events to not only promote his books and his company, but also freely share what he knows about writing and publishing. After giving this book a try, I think that coach role is a good place for him to stay.

Maybe if I hadn't already read a couple dozen "average guy gets to become GI Joe" wish fulfillment stories, this book would have been fresher. I have read them though. The protagonist gets to be in an elite soldier unit. He gets the hot girl without really trying. I'm sure if I had finished, he might have even saved the day. I'll never know. The story bored me in a way I could swear I had heard before.

He also calls the zombie-ish bad guys, "walkers". I mean, come on.

Great story, perfect for listening

Where does The Dying of the Light: End rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?

Kristophers writing is engaging, and he fills this story with a number of compelling, interesting characters. I found it enjoyable, a perfect combination of suspense, drama, emotion, action, and..zombies! The storyline and characters makes for some great entertainment.

Narration by Ciulla really made this even more enjoyable. His diction and pacing is superb, and he brought dimension and believability to each character. It's amazing how the right narration can really complement a great story, adding to the experience.

Have you listened to any of Chris Andrew Ciullas other performances before? How does this one compare?

Ciulla is definitely one of my favorites, and his performance was excellent as always. I especially loved his work in this story because of the wide range of characters he portrayed. Each character was brought to life thanks to Ciulla.

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

No, but I never do. I prefer to listen during my work hours, when I spend 8 hours in front of a computer.

Any additional comments?

A great story by Kristopher, improved with the storytelling by Cillua.

Good, but not as good as the first.

Narration was very good. Worth a listen just for that but parts of the story are very frustrating.

Classic Hambly.

I wish she expanded this series, as it is one of her best works. good choice of narrator.

great book

the second in the series. best to read in order.. highly recommend..the narration is excellent

Ending was the best

Really enjoed Ysidro's sonnet. The narrator was amazing, as usual.

The story was good, better than the first one, but I fellt the story was jumping a bit too much between the two POVs.

second time reading this

A great read even the second time. Read when younger now reliving it all over.

gripping thrilling performance

the book is exceptional exciting written before the interview with a vampire but is much darker. A great read that explores the dark part of the jungian personality.
