Release date: 09-24-14

Publisher: Audible Studios

Publisher's Summary:

Ozone Beach, Washington, where the clams dance and the chowder's poisoned: Timber queen Madge Leroux's body has washed up on frigid backwater Ozone Beach in Washington State, the last place on Earth Venus Diamond wants to visit. Recently returned from steamy, exotic adventures tracking poachers in East Asia, and hanging out in sophisticated nightclubs, Venus has brought home malaria fevers and a jaundice the shade of hot mustard. When her boss at the US Fish & Wildlife Service assigns Venus to explain how Madge Leroux's corpse managed to beach on a federal wildlife preserve, Venus finds a link between East and West that suddenly connects her two worlds; she discovers a mutilated brown bear carcass that exposes black market greed and atrocities she had previously thought only occurred outside her native land. If she exposes the perpetrators, she could pay with her life, but Diamond never - ever - abandons a promising scent, the more dangerous the better. On the other hand, Seattle's rain might just convince Venus to flee before she drowns - or is killed in the same manner her nemesis kills brown bears.

A great adventure

Dodge is back for a new adventure and it might possibly be better than his first. Dodge, Molly, Hurricane and Padre are thrust into a whirlwind race against time to save the world, will they success? Can they? And at what cost? Some interesting new characters are introduced and as always you are kept guessing as to who is friend or foe. Jeffrey S. Fellin does a remarkable job of bringing the world of Dodge Dalton to life, grabbing the listeners attention and not letting go until the end. His performance of the different characters is impressive, with just slight variations to his tone he can change the whole feel of the situation. Definitely going on the repeat listen pile.

What a horrible movie! So yesterday film making. I guess I expected to much from it. It is always the evil female! Boring and a waste of time.

The asylum holds the key to a terrifying past.

A thrilling creepy photo-novel, perfect for fans of the New York Times best seller Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children.

For 16-year-old outcast Dan Crawford, the summer program at New Hampshire College Prep is a lifeline. Finally, a chance to make some friends before college. Even if that means staying in a dorm that used to be a old asylum.

Soon Dan's hanging out with Abby and Jordan, and summer is looking up. But then he learns that the asylum was not just any sanatorium - it was a last resort for the criminally insane.

As Dan, Abby, and Jordan explore the hidden recesses of their creepy summer home, they discover it's no coincidence that the three of them ended up here. And that some secrets refuse to stay buried.

Featuring unsettling found photos of real abandoned asylums and filled with chilling mystery and page-turning suspense, Madeleine Roux's teen horror debut Asylum treads the line between genius and insanity.

Critic Reviews:

"I started reading this one at my desk in broad daylight and still got goose bumps." (Glamour)

Members Reviews:

Well, it is only a teen horror after all I guess

Okay positives first and there are one or two. It has atmosphere and drama. It's got pace and the naration is fairly good though there are some issues with production where some words seem to fade out rather than actually finish. However, gramatically the book is lazy but then, if you get published and people call you a great writer which you're not who really cares about that? The plot however should come in for criticism since there are parts of it which are implausible and mostly it's predictable with a really lame ending. I sussed it from way back but then, it is only a teen horror after all and for teenagers not as well red as me it would be a great read.

Narrator Richard Ferrones sonorous voice draws you in and holds you spellbound as you consider the fragility of everything you think you know.

Members Reviews:

A mediocre read, perhaps a bit held back by its context

I went into this with high expectations, having had the novel recommended to me by another horror fan. I was unfortunately disappointed. Although the audiobook presents an adequate performance, I was not impressed with the story. I have read almost everything the genre of horror fiction has to offer, from the subtle to the grotesque, and I guess I was hoping for more. But I assume that's the problem when one reads a lotmy expectations have now been raised to the point where not just any story will satisfy me. This is not to claim any kind if horror snobbery. I like the standard Stephen King novel as much as the next guy (though I do have a problem with Dean Koontz.) I guess I was expecting something more along the lines of Thomas Ligotti. Oh well.

You did it....don't take out the ouija board!

A group of paranormal investigators decide to invent a ghost to see if it actually works. Once they bring out the ouija board everything goes wrong and it's not just their ghost they welcome in.

This had a great wee Back to the Future 'what do you do if you meet yourself?' thing going on, and despite it being really scary at points, it was quite sad too.

Title: Remember Me This Way

Author: Sabine Durrant

Narrator: Penelope Rawlins, Daniel Weyman

Format: Unabridged

Length: 12 hrs and 24 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-17-14

Publisher: Hodder & Stoughton

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 6 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

Everyone keeps telling me I have to move on. And so here I am, walking down the road where he died, trying to remember him the right way.

A year after her husband Zach's death, Lizzie goes to lay flowers where his fatal accident took place. As she makes her way along the motorway, she thinks about their life together. She wonders whether she has changed since Zach died. She wonders if she will ever feel whole again. At last she reaches the spot. And there, tied to a tree, is a bunch of lilies. The flowers are addressed to her husband. Someone has been there before her.

Lizzie loved Zach. She really did. But she's starting to realise she didn't really know him. Or what he was capable of.

Members Reviews:

Gripping but not entirely plausible

I don't necessarily expect to find this type of fiction wholly realistic, and in this case that is just as well. On the plus side, this is a genuine page turner and I found myself making excuses to hide a way and listen to the next chapter. Zach is a brilliant character and the slow reveal of the true nature of his personality is enthralling. I was less enchanted with Lizzie whose passive aggressive personality seemed to be more of a plot device than a portrayal of a real person. I also thought her relationship with Anya was way beyond convincing and her reaction to one particular revelation was frankly ridiculous. The tightly written plot was the thing that kept me going to the end but I was disappointed that the ending revealed many red herrings in the plot, and this made me feel that the whole thing was not nearly as clever as it originally appeared. The performance of both narrators was excellent, even down to Anyas squirmy teenage voice.

Brilliant!

Having read the first review I almost didn't listen to this book as the voice of the narrator is so important to me, but I'm glad I made my own mind up! Yes, Lizzie's voice is girly, but, it's a well modulated British RP accent and fitted very well with a shy, insecure librarian so appropriate in my view. She also did the male voices very well. Zach's voice was also very easy to listen to, so no problem there. If I had purchased this in paper form, I would describe it as a page turner, however as I only listen to books these days I will have to find another accolade. A compulsive listen maybe? Give it a go, I'm confident most of you will be glad you did, even if it does put you off internet dating for life! Let's face it...if you don't enjoy it as much as clearly have, then there is always the guarantee of returning it so you won't waste a credit if it's not for you! :-)

Another good book choice

What did you like best about this story?

Interesting theme and thoughts, good to listen to the other side of bullying.

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

Thoughtful

Any additional comments?

Please give it a go.

Creepy story of obsessive love

The book starts very well and really gripped my attention as diffident librarian, Lizzie Carter, meets handsome Zach through internet dating. Soon his obsessive, compulsive behaviour starts alarm bells ringing, in my mind at least, if not Lizzies. She puts up with physical and mental abuse that beggars belief in those of us who havent suffered this trauma, but womens refuges apparently see it all the time.

Title: The Bleiberg Project (Le Project Bleiberg)

Author: David Khara, Simon John (translator)

Narrator: Graham Vick

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 40 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-13-14

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 3 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

An adrenaline-packed ride to save the world from a horrific conspiracy straight out of the darkest hours of history.

Are Hitler's atrocities really over? For depressive Wall Street trader Jeremy Corbin, absolute truths become undeniable lies overnight. He finds out his long-lost father is dead, he discovers his boss's real identity, and he ends up boarding a plane to Zurich. He has a Nazi medallion in his pocket, a hot CIA bodyguard next to him, and a clearly dangerous Mossad agent on his tail. What was his father investigating? Why was his mother assassinated? Why are unknown sides fighting over him with automatic weapons? Can the conspiracy be stopped?

This fast-paced thriller full of humor and humanity was an instant sensation in France. Think a dash of Robin Cook, a splash of John Grisham, and pinch of Clive Cussler with a very distinctive voice all its own.

Critic Reviews:

"A solid thriller." (Publishers Weekly)

"I loved this thriller." (Leigh Neely, Criminalelement.com)

"Fascinating, written with a sharp style, shock value and a lot of humor" (Serge Perraud, literary critic)

Members Reviews:

an edge-of-your-seat, firecracker that is sure to launch this author into the world of fiction

The Bleiberg Project is an edge-of-your-seat, firecracker that is sure to launch this author into the world of fiction in a hurry. The writing is set at a breakneck pace that playfully drags you along for the ride. The subject matter weaves an original twist to history where one manâs twisted ambition is then catapulted onto the world stage. David Khara will leave you shaking your head and pulling your jaw up off the ground as you immerse yourself into his lightening paced thrill ride that will have you awestruck long after itâs over.

The Bleiberg Project starts off by introducing us to the main character Jay Novacek who is a brilliant financial trader. At a very young age, he has already made his fortune several times over, but money canât replace love or heal a broken heart. His present problems only get worse as both of his parents are mysteriously killed. This serves as the catalyst to launching him into the secretive and dangerous world of the CIA searching for answers that will unlock the mystery behind the mess that his life has turned into.

History buffs and conspiracy theorists alike would find something in this book that calls to them. Watching this story unfold was truly mind-blowing at times. The story doesnât lose any of its tension, and there is enough twists and turns to keep even the most casual reader hooked until the end. I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a fun, enjoyable story that will keep them pulled in and entertained the entire time.

The Bleiberg Project by David Khara

Basically, thrillers are written to formula i.e. young couple on a quest of some kind , always outwitted by the bad guys until the very end, high body count including even some valued sidekicks. So, how did the author, David Khara do with the Bleiberg Project?

Superbly! I raced through the story and was disappointed to find myself with only a little more to read.

Title: Face Value

Subtitle: A Rachel Gold Mystery

Narrator: Hillary Huber

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 26 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-03-14

Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc.

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 6 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

As St. Louis attorney Rachel Gold knows firsthand, the grueling hours and demands of Big Law take their toll on young lawyers. Someturn to drugs, some quit the profession, and occasionally one quits altogether. According to the medical examiner, Sari Bashir quit altogether that Thursday night when she fell to her death from the eighth floor of the downtown garage where she parked her car.

The police ruled her death a suicide. Stanley Plotkin, however, rules it a homicide. Stanley is the weird mail-room clerk at Sari's lawfirm, but he is also a genius. Among his obsessions is the Facial Action CodingSystem (FACS), a massive compilation that correlates hundreds of facial muscleactions with specific emotions and mental states. For someone like Stanley, whose Asperger's syndrome renders him incapable of intuiting emotions fromfacial expressions, his mastery of FACS has caused him to conclude that Saridid not kill herself.

Rachel was close with Sari, who worked for her during lawschool. She also knows Stanley - and his quirkiness and genius - because their mothers are friends. Thus when Stanley announces his conclusion to Rachel ass he drives him home from Sari's memorial service, she can't simply dismiss it. And when Sari's father pleads with Rachel to review the police file on his daughter's suicide, she reluctantly starts down a path that will lead into the heart of a dark criminal enterprise in which Sari was simply collateral damage.

Members Reviews:

Kahn Does It Again

Every book by Michael Kahn reminds me of a great date-- fresh, exciting, surprising, not wanting it to end. Why he isn't rich and famous escapes me. FACE VALUE is his ninth book, and it's another page turner. Rachel Goldberg stumbling on a suicide that isn't a suicide, compiling a list of potential suspects, finding pecadillos in each of them, and then pricking the biggest balloon in the bunch. The good characters always win out, but not before they seem flummoxed and making wrong turns that turn out right. Kahn, a leading member of the Bar in St. Louis, shows his substantive knowledge of the law with a light touch; he shows his knowledge of St. Louis with a great sense of setting, and he twists his plot with drama and comedy-- all to the benefit of a very grateful reader.

A friend returns

I have been reading this author for many years. He is so clear i in drawing his characters, making them and believable. Even though had read this book before I really loved being reconnected with them.

Rachel needs to recover her sense of humor. In ...

Rachel needs to recover her sense of humor. In a previous Rachel Gold book, Rachel's description of In Re Bottles and Cans, a tangled up anti-trust lawsuit had me laughing out loud. Face Value lacks that biting humor and Rachel is less pleasant, having evolved into a tough cookie. While Rachel's old friend Benny and her law partner Jackie appear in Face Value, they seem merely to have been trotted out and have lost the freshness these characters once had. That having been said, I am still an avid fan of Rachel Gold and couldn't put Face Value down.

Michael Kahn did it again!

He crates believable characters, his plotting is brilliant and one more time Rachel is terrific.

If you could sum up Dream Family: Dreams, Book 4 in three words, what would they be?

Drama Stunning Awesome

Who was your favorite character and why?

Sara like always

Have you listened to any of Victoria Robinsons other performances before? How does this one compare?

no but she does a really good job coming into book four

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

the whole thing I was on the edge of my seat during this book

Any additional comments?

Dream Family brings out a new side to Sara after she is locked up for something she didn't do. It made me very emotional reading it.

New Narrator

What disappointed you about Dream Family: Dreams, Book 4?

I am having a hard time getting past the different voice, she sounds like she should be reading children's books.

Has Dream Family: Dreams, Book 4 turned you off from other books in this genre?

As long as Heather Jane Hogan is the narrator, I will purchase the other books, if it's Victoria Robinson.. nope..

How could the performance have been better?

Stayed with the Heather Jane Hogan.

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

Disappointment.. I feel like she's reading for a first grade class..

Not quite the same

What three words best describe Victoria Robinsons voice?

I think she did a good job but for those that just listen to the first three books it's quite an adjustment

Any additional comments?

this is book 4 in the series, and they do need to be read in order for better understanding. In this installment we follow them raising their three children and also a new struggle as soon as the new doctors office opens. we follow them on that struggled for most of the book it almost seemed overdone with all the flashbacks and trauma that was left.

Title: The Hot Mess

Language: English

Release date: 04-28-14

Publisher: Dancing Corgi Press

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 10 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

No one in the small town of Placentia, California is surprised when Benny Needles's house catches fire. The outside hasn't seen a paint brush in years. The inside is stuffed with Dean Martin memorabilia. It would be a simple case of homeowner negligence, except for the body found inside.

Under suspicion of both murder and arson, Benny turns to the one person who has always helped him, private investigator Peri Minneopa. Fire investigation isn't on her menu of services, but Peri's weak spot for Benny overrules her reluctance, and she agrees to look into things. Her investigation takes a dangerous turn as she uncovers family secrets, going back several decades.

There are skeletons in everyone's closet, and even Benny's bones are rattling.

Members Reviews:

great mystery

Would you listen to The Hot Mess again? Why?

Yes. I already have.

What did you like best about this story?

It kept me guessing

Any additional comments?

I really enjoy listening to Wendy Pitts readings. She brings every character to life and they each have a voice

Read but don't listen to Peri Minneopa books!

What did you like best about The Hot Mess? What did you like least?

I will start with the least liked... the narrator! Benny's unusual personality reminded me of some patients I had as a nurse years ago whose quirkiness I enjoyed. Benny was what/who I liked best. Actually, the writing was very good, only 2 characters, Benny and Peri, had any personality to develop since they were the only characters who it was necessary to convey who they were related to the plot. I thought the relationship between Peri and Skip was totally unbelievable due to the narrator's total inability to speak like an adult either male or female.

I like the ending of the book related to Peri and Benny.

If youve listened to books by Gayle Carline before, how does this one compare?

This was my first Gayle Carline book. I won't pay for any audible books, regardless of the author, or how good the reviews are if they have this narrator. I will read the printed copy of any subsequent Peri Minneopa books but Benny will not be as enjoyable without a voice. I like the author's work. I kept listening because I paid for the audible version.

What didnt you like about Wendy Pittss performance?

Wendy Pitts's voice and reading sound like she is reading a 2nd-grade primer. Her voice is too young to fit Peri's character, actually, it didn't fit any of the characters she was portraying not just in the voices but the way she does non-speaking passages! In perhaps 10 years the narrator's voice will sound adult enough to narrate an adult book. I apologize to the narrator for being so critical but an audible version of any book needs to be done well for a listener to appreciate the author's work. In my opinion, the narrator's voice and manner of reading would be acceptable for teenage or youth books.

Do you think The Hot Mess needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

Since I enjoy audible books a follow-up Peri Minneopa book is not necessary for me if it has the same narrator! I loved Benny's quirky character, his obsession with Dean Martin and Peri's way of handling Benny so, yes, I want more follow-up books TO READ. But only if Benny is present. I am not sure if Benny would be so enjoyable in a read-only version.
