Historia
Zo Grey is reeling from the sudden death of her mother when she receives a surprising call from an attorney in Divinity, Louisiana, with the news she has been left an inheritance by a distant relative, the terms of which he will only discuss in person. Destitute and alone, with nothing left to lose, Zo heads to Divinity and discovers she is the sole beneficiary of a huge fortune and a monstrosity of a house that sits ominously at the peak of Watch Hill—but she must live in it, alone, for three years before the house, or the money, is hers.

Historia
Robin Maxwell’s debut novel introduces Anne Boleyn and her daughter, Elizabeth: one was queen for a thousand days, the other for more than 40 years. Both were passionate, headstrong women, loved and hated by Henry VIII. At the beginning of Elizabeth’s reign, her mother’s private diary is given to her by a mysterious lady. In reading it, the young ruler - herself embroiled in a dangerous love affair - discovers a great deal about her much maligned mother.

Story and narrator meet with perfection
Revisado: 09-04-23
Any story is made better by the perfect narrator. This phenomenal narrator delivered the emotion, drama, intensity, and heart this extremely well written historical fiction deserved.
When new monarch Elizabeth is handed her mother’s, Anne Boleyn’s, diary past and present merge. Two young women meet if only through the pages of Anne’s words.
Phenomenal storytelling and world building.

Not expected, but fantastic
Revisado: 06-21-23
This isn’t the story I expected from the author of The Passage series. Quite a difference in feel and storytelling.
Creative world building, complete characters and multiple twists and turns. A complete drama, in the best sense of the word.
Excellent narrator.

Historia
Civil war looms in the Bobiverse in this brand-new, epic-length adventure by Audible number one best seller Dennis E. Taylor. More than a hundred years ago, Bender set out for the stars and was never heard from again. There has been no trace of him despite numerous searches by his clone-mates. Now Bob is determined to organize an expedition to learn Bender’s fate - whatever the cost. But nothing is ever simple in the Bobiverse. Bob’s descendants are out to the 24th generation now, and replicative drift has produced individuals who can barely be considered Bobs anymore.

thoroughly enjoyable
Revisado: 07-22-22
Needed a break from reality and decided to enjoy a romantic romp through the Highlands. This audiobook hit the spot!
Brave decision to have domestic violence as a backstory for the heroine. Handled with grace and dignity. Very much enjoyed seeing her come into her own and redevelop her sense of self-worth.
Swoon-worthy hero and well developed secondary characters.
The hero/heroine introduction was unique and quite creative.
While parts of the book were predictable, most were unique in their approach. The ending was the redemption I'd hoped to see.

Historia
A journey into the deepest, darkest jungles of the Venezuelan Amazon...and a primeval place and time that mankind was never meant to exist in. Ben Cartwright, former soldier, home to mourn the loss of his father, stumbles upon cryptic letters from the past between author Arthur Conan Doyle and his great-great-grandfather who vanished while exploring the Amazon jungle in 1908. Amazingly, these letters lead Ben to believe that his ancestor’s expedition was the basis for Doyle’s fantastical tale of a lost world inhabited by long-extinct creatures.

wrong narrator
Revisado: 01-26-20
This is the wrong narrator for this story. His voice is not appropriate for young characters. While I wanted to get lost in the listen, his voice kept that from happening.
Story is creative. I read the other 2 books in the series and enjoyed the fiction immensely.
Seriously, don't listen to this story - read it

There's a reason We Are Legion was named Audible's Best Science Fiction Book of 2016: Its irresistibly irreverent wit! Bob Johansson has just sold his software company for a small fortune and is looking forward to a life of leisure. The first item on his to-do list: Spending his newfound windfall. On an urge to splurge, he signs up to have his head cryogenically preserved in case of death. Then he gets himself killed crossing the street. Waking up 117 years later, Bob discovers his mind has been uploaded into a sentient space probe with the ability to replicate itself.

Fantastic sci-fi fun

I downloaded this based on the other reviews after listening to The Singularity Trap. This is just great listening fun. Quirky humor with enough science-based factoids to be super entertaining. Love the Bobs. Narrator is brilliant! Looking forward to Bob-verse #2

Simply adore this series!! This book continues to deliver with outstanding story development, unique characters and enough humor to keep me listening long after my drive has ended.
The narrator deserves more than 5 stars. She is fabulous and brings each character to life. Highly anticipating the next in the series

Historia
Beck is everything Joe has ever wanted: she's gorgeous, tough, razor-smart, and sexy beyond his wildest dreams. Joe needs to have her, and he'll stop at nothing to do so. As he begins to insinuate himself into her life - her friendships, her email, her phone - she can’t resist her feelings for a guy who seems custom-made for her. So when her boyfriend, Benji, mysteriously disappears, Beck and Joe fall into a tumultuous affair. But there's more to Beck than her oh-so-perfect façade.

Where does You rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This may be one of the best stories I have ever listened to. Writing from the perspective of the stalker was brilliant and unique. Though I am worried that I wanted him to succeed and understood where he was coming from. Such creative story telling!
What was one of the most memorable moments of You?
Joe (more correctly the author) describes a great book as a lover that entices you and draws you in, which is exactly what this book did to me. I could have followed Joe and crept into his head for the rest of his life.
What does Santino Fontana bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
The narrator brought Joe to life. His voice captured the essence of the main character and the others with sheer brilliance.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I laughed at Joe's wit and felt his pain. His point of view, while disturbing, made perfect sense. His joy and heartache were so real and vivid.
Any additional comments?
A unique story with twists and turns you could never anticipate. I loved every disturbing moment.
