This book, and the 5 which follow it, take place in a plausible post-apocalyptic society. If you like science fiction, fast-paced action, and a tough, independent female lead, you will love this book. Also, the narrator has a voice that is admirably suited for a female lead like Holly Danger. This book is what happens when an excellent author and an equally excellent narrator team up. Highly recommended.

This book has little character or plot development. The women seems to have no ambition but to have sex with the hotel manager at every opportunity. He has no ambition but to have sex with every woman in sight, and solve all of his problems violently. This book is full of sexual remarks, sex scenes, violence, and little else. Don't waste your credit. I am going to return this book and get my credit back.

This is one of the creepiest stories I have ever listened to. Elizabeth Rogers has just the right kind of voice for reading scary stories like this. This book will make you think you have bedbugs, even if you don't. It will also make you doubt your sanity if you see a bedbug. The apartment is not haunted by the usual ghosts, but by bedbugs. These also are not your typical bedbugs. I will say no more because I do not wish to spoil the experience for others. If you like a creepy story that will keep you up at night, read by one of the most excellent narrators out there, you will like this book.

This book and its sequel take place in a post-apocalyptic setting, where vampires have replaced humanity at the top of the food chain. Most modern technology has been lost. Humans are slowly beginning to gather and form towns, rebuild civilization and fight back against the vampires. Now, other species are starting to produce vampires. The protagonists are a group who fight and kill vampires, and try to protect humans from them. This book has the power to make you feel as if you are actually living in this world of the undead. Daniel Pierce and J. F. Harding team up to bring an excellent audio experience.

This is a take on the post-apocalyptic genre that I have never encountered before. Alien creatures attack humanity. The only way to be safe from them is to blindfold yourself. In other words, you deprive yourself of your primary sense. This is something you can actually try at home. It will give you at least a taste of what the characters in this book lived with for years. That is one reason why I love this book. Also, there is very little of the thuggery that is so prevalent in post-apocalyptic fiction. This is a fairly long book, but I listened to it in one day. Once I started I could not stop. Cassandra Campbell is one of my favorite narrators, and she totally does this book justice. I highly recommend this book and its sequel.

Even fantasy needs a certain element of plausibility. Magic has laws and rules, just as science does. In this book and its sequels, there are no rules. Emily learns she is a witch at 28 years old. Within a couple of days, she is teleporting, time traveling and conjuring things as if she had done it all her life. Witches use magic for mundane things like tidying a room, or doing the dishes. They conjure things out of thin air, everything from a pizza to a castle. I simply could not get into this book, because the profligate use of magic, and the complete lack of a plausible framework of magical rules irritated me. I do not recommend this book, or this series.

This is what happens when an excellent author and an excellent narrator team up. This story will suck you in right from page 1, and not let you go until the end. This is one of the best haunted house thrillers I have ever encountered. I would give it a 10 star rating if I could.

I like this book because it reminds me of the 60's horror classics I grew up on. However, the content and narration leave a good deal to be desired. There was only basic plot development. Character development was virtually absent. The writing style was heavy-handed, and the narration was robotic. In the hands of a more skilled author/narrator team, this has the potential to go from an average book to something much higher. As it is, I can only give it a 2.

Between the excellent writing of Bev Prescott and the superb narration of Dominique Dibbell this is a highly enjoyable read. The protagonist is a tough woman who lives in a very plausible dystopian future. In fact, if we carry on as we have been, we may very well find ourselves in a world not unlike that described in this book. I highly recommend this book. Very entertaining, and it can make you think as well.

I had high hopes for this book after reading the publisher's summary. I was disappointed. There is no lead-in to the apocalypse. There is a brief paragraph on the first page explaining that we don't know where Rabies 2.0 came from, how it started, or how it spread. Then we are dumped straight into the apocalypse. Who are these soldiers? Why have they been sent to rescue this group of civilians? What state is society in? Has it collapsed, or is there still a functioning infrastructure? How long has the apocalypse been going on? Who are all of these people, and how did they come together in this town? Where is this town located? All of these questions and more go unanswered. Furthermore, if you are a dog lover, you will probably find this book profoundly disturbing. I am a dog lover, and this book disturbed and disgusted me. The protagonist is a dog hater, and dogs are the bad guys. I will not be purchasing the rest of the series. I do not recommend this book.
