A stunning masterpiece

Any additional comments?

There is not much more I can say about this audiobook that my title has not already covered. The 'Victor the assassin' series has swept me away and kept me highly entertained beyond any of my expectations.

I am thoroughly disappointed I have come to the end of the series, now I will spend the rest of my days searching for other audiobooks that can potentially deliver so much happiness to my poor soul. I feel bereft. Like an alcoholic with no access to liquor. Like a hula without the hoop. Like a bean that wasn't made by Heinz. A monster without the much. My list could go on...

Buy the book. Buy all 4 books in the series, work your way through as I have done. then maybe I can be joined by more people in sharing my grief in finishing sharing adventures with Victor the assassin, until his next book at least.

Listened to this audio book in one go!

I really enjoyed this story and the way it was read. The 81 chapters got hold of me and I couldn't put it down! However, the nearer the end the more swearing. So it is not something you could listen to 'out loud' without upsetting you're neighbours by mistake. The "c"pops up too.

When I was showing a group of friends my tablet and Audio Book App, I found myself apologising when I got caught out with the swearing off hand.

This was a shame. I didn't know the words were coming up! This day and age I suppose I should have realised, but the reading started out ok, and the 'baddies' had to speak this way to be tough it seems. It was a shame though as I would have given it 5's otherwise if it had not been for the strong language popping up from the middle to the end.

A good balance of action and suspense

A good listen wish it was longer and the relationships explained but great action and it is on par with the previous books

Lived up to the rest

As good as the first and last. This book will not be a disappointment, lots going on and at a great pace.

excellent and worth the wait

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

great series that keeps building on the original plot, well narrated

Any additional comments?

hope this is not the last in the series.

Members Reviews:

Ok

This book was just ok. It took too long to get to the point. It just wasnt all that great

Mediocre

This book was far, far too predictable. I did finish it, but as far as mysteries go, this brought on far more exasperation than it did suspense. The narrator did not bring anything too exciting to the mix, leaving the whole experience simply neutral.

Really Bad

Don't waste your time, the main character is not interesting in the least and is entirely too predictable

Interesting but wanted more

I wanted deeper characters and a stronger story buy don't misunderstand I really enjoyed and would recommend to others. I liked it.

Members Reviews:

A Place To Hide

Awesome ending to a great suspense story. a spI ritual and touching love story about a family and God.

Great story

The reason I gave the story only 4 stars is because I spent 80% of the book wanting to smack Ian up the side of his head. The fact he wouldn't listen and whined just grated on my nerves.

On the upside I didn't guess who was behind it until the book revealed it. And the plot was fantastic!!!!

A great read.

Kept my attention!

didn't want to put the book down. keep put me guessing to the very end.

Good, but better without the last chapter.

Fun story! The husband and I really enjoyed it. It had us captivated several times. Only con was the last chapter. It seemed unnecessary, boring, and a bit religious-y.

Absolutely fantastic

Thanks once again for the awesome book, I couldn't stop listening. The narrator was brilliant too. What an awesome God we serve!

Title: The Recruit

Subtitle: A Taskforce Story

Author: Brad Taylor

Narrator: Henry Strozier

Format: Unabridged

Length: 2 hrs

Language: English

Release date: 05-05-15

Publisher: Recorded Books

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 137 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

Retired Delta Force officer Brad Taylor's exciting new short story features Taskforce operators Knuckles and Decoy as the two stumble upon an audacious plot when they least expect it. Includes an exclusive preview of Brad Taylor's eighth Pike Logan thriller, The Insider Threat, coming July 7, 2015.

When Taskforce operator Knuckles brings his old friend Decoy, a former teammate from the Navy SEALs, to Lima, Peru, he wonders if he's made a mistake. Knuckles' only objective is to assess Decoy's covert surveillance skills on an orientation deployment, the final step before any recruit is accepted into the extralegal counterterrorist organization known as the Taskforce. Just when Decoy's wild side threatens to expose their cover as technicians working for the embassy - and derail his chances of becoming a full member of the Taskforce - the two uncover an unexpected piece of intelligence involving the terrorist group, the Shining Path, which causes their mission to go from evaluation to operational.

With no backup and a flimsy cover story, Knuckles and Decoy find themselves in murky territory, relying on the help of an untried asset to prevent a devastating attack on countless innocents.

Members Reviews:

The Taskforce before Pike Logan.

The Recruit is a novella that basically explains how Pike Logan and Jennifer Cahill were recruited into the Taskforce, so on the timeline of the Pike Logan series it predates One Rough Man (Pike Logan Book 1) although it was written several years after most of the Pike Logan series. Knuckles and Decoy are the main characters in the book with Jennifer Cahill, the recruit, entering at the end and Pike Logan only being mentioned at the end.

The Recruit earns a 5 star rating as do all of Brad Taylor's novels. I would be hard pressed to name my favorite living author of espionage thriller novels but the top 6 in no special order are Brad Taylor, Brad Thor, Brett Battles, Ben Coes, Mark Greaney, and Daniel Silva. If Vince Flynn were still alive he would be number 1.

Not worth a credit

dull , shallow, and uninteresting are some of the best words to describe this

Publisher's Summary:

The remarkable new novel in the Doc Ford series by New York Times - best-selling author Randy Wayne White.

Doc Ford's old friend, General Juan Garcia, has gone into the lucrative business of smuggling Cuban baseball players into the US. He is also feasting on profits made by buying historical treasures for pennies on the dollar. He prefers what dealers call HPC items - high-profile collectibles - but when he manages to obtain a collection of letters written by Fidel Castro between 1960 and 1962 to a secret girlfriend, it's not a matter of money anymore. Garcia has stumbled way out of his depth.

First Garcia disappears and then the man to whom he sold the letters. When Doc Ford begins to investigate, he soon becomes convinced that those letters contain a secret that someone, or some powerful agency, cannot allow to be made public.

A lot happened between Cuba and the United States from 1960 to 1962. Many men died. A few more will hardly be noticed.

Members Reviews:

Not Randy's best book!!!

Just seems like there is too much going on to keep up with it. Thank God for George Guidall's naration.

Great story, horrible narration in audible version

title says it all, book/story is great. The audible narration made it difficult to stay engaged.

Good read

Great book as is usual for this author. The characters and story kept me interested & entertained. I live in Sarasota Florida which helps the connection to these books. Maybe I'll actually get to say hi to Mr White some day. The narrator's voice is distinctive, smooth and reminds me of the lazy hot days of florida summers. Perfect for this book

Not a great story

What disappointed you about Cuba Straits?

It was very difficult to follow the plot. I never understood why Doc went. The ending was VERY confusing. Why were the main "items" brought back? Why were they so valuable? Not a good story, but George Guidall was wonderful as always.

Disjointed

Who is extremely hard to keep up with the story there were too many crazy things going on but it was a good story after all

Subtitle: A Novel

Author: Susan Crawford

Narrator: Cassandra Campbell

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11 hrs and 14 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-17-15

Publisher: HarperAudio

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 842 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

A stylish psychological thriller with the compelling intrigue of The Silent Wife and Turn of Mind and the white-knuckle pacing of Before I Go to Sleep - in which a woman suffering from bipolar disorder cannot remember if she murdered her friend.

Dana Catrell is shocked when her neighbor, Celia, is brutally murdered. To Dana's horror she was the last person to see Celia alive. Suffering from mania, the result of her bipolar disorder, she has troubling holes in her memory, including what happened on the afternoon of Celia's death.

Her husbands odd behavior and the probing of Detective Jack Moss create further complications as she searches for answers. The closer she comes to piecing together the shards of her broken memory, the more Dana falls apart. Is there a murderer lurking inside her...or is there one out there in the shadows of reality, waiting to strike again?

A story of marriage, murder, and madness, The Pocket Wife explores the world through the foggy lens of a woman on the edge.

Members Reviews:

Best "who done it" this year!!!

Would you listen to The Pocket Wife again? Why?

Yes, most definitely. Great story line. 5 + Stars!!! A must read!

What other book might you compare The Pocket Wife to and why?

The Pocket Wife is in a class by itself, although I think Stephen King would like this book, although it's not a horror story. To me, Susan Crawford writes very much like King. This is a true compliment!

Which scene was your favorite?

When Jack Moss confronts Leanora.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

"Don't Judge a Book by it's Cover"

Any additional comments?

Cassandra Campbell does a SUPERB job of narrating this audiobook.

Looking forward to Susan Crawford's next novel.

Maddening nonsense... I may not make it!!

I have never written a review before finishing, but I am exactly half way through this book now, and I may not be able to finish.

There is a bit of a storyline, and some unlikable characters so far, but mostly just crazy gibberish. I am trying to hang in there, and IF I do, and IF it improves in the 2nd half... I will edit my review.

**2nd half update**

I made it, and the 2nd half was definitely better than the first.

Bipolar Murder Mystery

This book does for bipolar disorder what Alice LaPlante's riveting Turn of Mind did for Alzheimer's; it gives you a window into the mind and thinking of an individual with the disorder who is also uncertain as to her own role in the murder of a friend and neighbor.

The writing is solid, the characters interesting and invested with depth and feeling. I give the overall experience 3 1/2 stars to 4 stars, despite the somewhat cloying, affected, grating, overly precise articulation of the narrator.

This book held my interest all the way through, and although the ending felt a little contrived, the same can be said for many, if not most murder mysteries, especially those full of surprises and plot twists.

I would recommend this book highly to any fans of psychological suspense.

Can't stop listening!

What made the experience of listening to The Pocket Wife the most enjoyable?

The story kept me going right down to the very end.

What other book might you compare The Pocket Wife to and why?

The writers ability to describe feelings, thoughts and in the moment experience rivals Steven King's talent.

From thriller and suspense master Brett Battles comes Down, the final book in the Project Eden saga.

Matt Hamilton's last words have led Daniel Ash and his team to the snow-covered town of Everton, Vermont. On a field just outside city limits sits an unassuming hut. But this is no innocent building. Inside is the entrance to the secret Project Eden base known as Dream Sky, the key to the project's success. Or its defeat, as Ash hopes. To give the team the best chance to succeed, resistance groups have moved into position outside project installations around the globe. The purpose: to create diversions that will draw project attention away from Dream Sky. These groups have been waiting for the signal to attack. The wait is over.

Members Reviews:

Good closure to exceptional series

This could easily have turned into "and they lived happily ever after..." While it brings a very good closure to the series, it reminds us that extinction level events are messy. That while good may triumph - there is a cost to be paid. Good people often pay that price for those that remain.

Neatly packaged

Solid wrap up to a extremely infectious (hehe) series. It should've been a little longer, because a few things seemed rushed. Otherwise, I really love the book and the series....no spoilers, but I'm hoping the ending is a lead-in for a new series :D

Finally the suspense ends with Book 7...

of Project Eden. It has been a wild ride as the suspense has built through the first six books.

Project Eden is a continuing series that can be thought of as a single 60 hour book, so each of the first 6 books end with a lot of uncertainty and unresolved issues. The suspense builds up to a point that very few action thrillers can match. Along with the Jonathan Quinn series Project Eden establishes Brett Battles as one of the best thriller writers ever.

McLeod Andrews narrates the Project Eden series and he does his usual great job.

I have enjoyed this series and highly recommend it to readers of action thrillers.

Wonderful ending to a great series

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

Yes. Though I haven't read the print version, I don't feel it would've given me the same emotions as listening to it did

Which character as performed by MacLeod Andrews was your favorite?

I would have to say Martina. I liked her spunk, plus the way her voice was read made her interesting :)

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

Yes when Martina and Maureen finally meet up.

Another great read by Brett Battles

Have you listened to any of MacLeod Andrewss other performances before? How does this one compare?

Macleod Andrews is my absolute favorite performers for audio books. I have found some great authors by following him and choosing books based on his performance. Love him!

Any additional comments?

Brett Battles has become one of my favorite Authors. Haven't read a dull one yet.

One of the best

I love King, and believe it or not have never seen this movie. I enjoyed the story and could hardly stop reading once I began. I'm glad I had it all at once rather than having to wait for the next installment!

Excellent

I haven't seen the movie, but I had an idea of what it's about....WOW this is a great read. King is such an incredible writer.

I didn't realize the original book was written as a "serial" series of novellas. The background story, told by King's publisher and by him, gives a great overview of the challenges and reception of the original publications.

The story itself is wonderful. I couldn't put it down, and highly recommend it. Watch out for a bit of risque language and situations, but it's done in a way that is so HUMAN, it isn't gratuitous or offensive to me.

A really, really good book!

As good as the movie was, the book is even better. Might be my new favorite Stephen King novel!

Outstanding

I loved this book. The characters were the best part, they were developed really well. The plot was incredible. The pace was perfect. Every part of this book was tragic and perfect. Guaranteed to leave you feeling horrified and depressed. Just excellent.

Great read you won't regret!

One of his best stories!! I've read it and watched the movie. Just sent it to a friend to read

Publisher's Summary:

They'll pay him a fortune to find a killer tornado for their movie.

He knows the risks all too well, but he never imagined just how dangerous the perfect storm could be.

Chuck Rittenburg was one of the most intrepid storm chasers in the country until a bad decision resulted in the death of a young couple who'd paid to ride along. A decade later - broke, divorced, and estranged from his college-age children - he's got nothing left to lose. When a film producer offers Chuck one million dollars to help find and photograph a deadly tornado in Oklahoma, Chuck sees a chance to earn his kids' respect again-and maybe his own.

The situation quickly becomes about more than tracking a monster tornado for Hollywood. FBI Agent Gabi Medeiros insists on riding along. A burglary ring is targeting tornado-ravaged neighborhoods, and their tactics now include murder.

With the stage set for a major heist, a deadly supercell, and a confrontation between Man and Nature on an epic scale, Chuck and his crew will be lucky to escape in one piece.

Members Reviews:

It's rather windy outside today!

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

I would, especially if that friend was interested in weather events.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

Not surprised and more than mildly amused.

What about Drew Comminss performance did you like?

He was consistent, true to the theme of the characters and entertaining. A very good performance.

Could you see Supercell being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

I actually can see this appearing on the SyFy Network, or similar specialty networks.

Any additional comments?

I obtained this audiobook in exchange for an unbiased review from audioblast.

Notwithstanding, this offering grew on me, and although there were some glitches in the performance production ( sounds in the background, some uneven editing, etc.) the overall experience was interesting, dynamic and actually fun to listen to.

Recommended!

Thoroughly enjoyable.

One of my favourite movies is Twister and this had the same feel as that. Extreme weather terrifies me but it also fascinates me so I couldn't wait to jump into this audio!!

The plot is summed up in this part of the blurb "Chuck Rittenburg is a washed-up, former tornado chaser/tour guide. A film director offers him $1 million to find the biggest, baddest F5 tornado within a 2-week window" of course, he accepts but how do you find the mother of all tornadoes when the F5 is so rare?

Chuck was, for the most part, a good character. He ran a successful Tornado Tour Guide business till an accident caused him to lose everything. So when a movie company offers him a million dollars, he takes the offer. Chuck knows how hard it is to find an F5 but he will do all he can to try to find one. Now, I'm torn on how I feel about Chuck though. The one thing I really didn't like was the way he was with his son, he stopped seeing him years ago because his son was gay.

Bikers by day. Special ops by night. These New York Times bestselling Black Knights are "Alpha, sexy, and downright hot!"

If they make it out alive, will Abby turn her back on him... for the second time?

Members Reviews:

"Holy Cannoli "

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

yes, if you like romance and adventure. This is not a mystery and the men are tied together by the BKI biz, but the stories do not have to be listened in order. If you try one, pick the reader you like best.

Note: this is best when listened at 1.25x speed

What did you like best about this story?

author had good fun dialogue for our heroine, but if you are not in the mood for it, it may not be for you.

What about Angela Dawes performance did you like?

I purchased this author's 2 books read by Ms Dawe as I am a big fan of hers. Her male voices are her best. Her Scot's brogue is the best in audio.

I don't like this author enough to buy the other books by this author in this series.

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

when our heroine admits "TEXT" mistake.

Full Throttle

The story was great. I liked all the plot twists & Abby & Carlos were adorable together. Something I've begun to notice in the last few books though, is that the author drags conversations out too much. She'll insert all kinds of irrelevant reminiscences right in the middle of a convo or even when the characters should be running for their lives. I've enjoyed the series, but I think this is the last book I'll buy from this author because of that. I know it's supposed to ratchet up the tension, but it's quite annoying when it's done so often.

And don't get me started on the narrator, Angela Dawes. I had to struggle to finish listening because her inflections were so awful to hear, it kept dragging me out of the story. I will NEVER listen to anything she reads ever again!

Disappointing - Just Blah

Any additional comments?

Was really looking forward to this book but unfortunately I was really disappointed. It seemed to be directed more toward the YA crowd; too many quips and not much action. The big "secret" was lame and the reveal was worse.
