Returning to Premonition Pointe or any worlds that the author creates is always fun. The story follows Marion as she tries to salvage her matchmaking business. This was such an addicting listen! I was hooked from the beach scene with the altercation and what happened next was just jaw dropping.
Marion also works with the magical taskforce, so she is quick and on a new case working alongside Charlotte. I was eager to solve the case with the gals, and the ever helpful ghost. Oh, she still cracks me up. This one is wrapped up nicely, and I'm eager to see what happens next in Premonition Pointe. The narrator, Gabra Zachman does a wonderful job portraying Marion, Jax, Charlotte, and many of the other characters in the book. She kept me engaged till the very end. I hope we get more of the alpha next time.

I just love revising Keating Hollow. It was so good revisiting the town and seeing how the kids are doing and how marriage life is treating Noel and Drew. Their quiet lives are fixing to be turned upside down when a ghost named Clara appears. When Noel confronts the ghosts that's when everything breaks loose and Drew and the local police department begin their investigation. This was such a fun quick read to catch up with this crew. The narrator, Gabra Zachman does a wonderful job portraying Noel, Drew, Clara, and many of the other characters very well. I never felt lost and was able to distinguish who was speaking. Evil spirits and lots of chaos ensues! Such a great listen!

I sure do love returning to the Witches of Befana Bay. The second installment follows Lilly Easton and Braxton Kirkwood, who is cursed. Lots of hijinks, hilarious scenes and plenty of hocus pocus to keep me engaged till the very end. The revelations of how Braxton was cursed through me for a loop. I didn't expect that and I surely felt for the guy. The author does a wonderful job keeping me guessing about some characters, but it was such a fun listen, with Gabra Zackman narrating. Gabra's tones and inflections used were great for Lilly, and Braxton. She kept me engaged till the very end. I'm looking forward to seeing more of Befana Bay and their witches.

Picking up right where the previous book ended and my heart is pounding to see what Diana and her team will do next. Hidden by Fate certainly showcased what is at stake and it certainly kept everyone on their toes. I loved the action scenes and Raven. *Sigh* Diana is such a tough cookie, and I just love how she doesn't let her emotions get in the way of her decisions. The stakes are high in this one and I cannot wait for the sixth book to be released.
The narrators, Tillie Hooper, and Will Peters were great! They truly brought Diana and Raven and the other characters to life. The tones and inflections used were spot on for me. In many action scenes I felt like I was sweating right there with them, especially with the spider.
Many things were revealed in this book and I'm very eager to see what Diana does next.
This series is perfect for fans who enjoy shifters, vampires, prophecy, forced proximity, and great banter.

A dark witchy read with vampires and secrets. Sayah is a mom who is struggling with the recent deaths of her family and is on a journey as a single mom and survivor. Sayah’s character is very relatable and there is a love interests in the story as well. Dom, the way Dominic’s eye colors constantly changed reminded me of a mood ring.
I really enjoyed the duet narration done by Jacci Prior and Gabriel Michael. It was really outstanding and I truly enjoyed how they breathes life into the characters.
This is perfect for fans who love vampire diaries.

The dual POV narration in the final book is everything!!
Nonstop action, very well paced! New threats and don’t forget the hilarious moments just times perfectly.
The author knows how to balance the tension perfectly!
The narrators, Lauren Fortgang and
James Fouhey knocked it out of the park! Together they really breathed life into Bree, Crash, and the other characters.
The ending was everything I hoped for and more. Saying goodbye to these characters is bittersweet, but this is one series I'll definitely be recommending to everyone!

Returning back to the Qurilixen Lords is always a blast. This time the story follows cat shifter Payton who happens to be a fearless princess. She isn't your ordinary princess, but I don't want to say too much due to spoilers, but you will discover this quickly once you begin this book. This book does follow Prince Falke and Samantha's daughter but it can be read as a stand-alone which is nice.
The characters are well rounded and I really enjoyed the banter in the story. The action and suspense were also well. The narrator, Michael Ferraluolo does a wonderful job portraying Payton and the many characters in the book as well. The tones and inflections are spot on. As the story progressed I was able to distinguish the voices and their characters.

This series is perfect for lovers of sci-fi, politics, shifters and romance.

When a dog show becomes deadly.
Ohh this one was a fun return to Hoochville.
Sadie and Clementine finds themselves in trouble after helping an abused wife escape her marriage. The two busybodies waste no time trying to solve the mystery with a side of dog show and adorable dogs with hilarious names. I laughed several times at the mayhem that ensued in the story. The narrator, Tiffany Morgan did a wonderful job portraying Sadie, Reed, and many of the moving characters in the story. The tones and inflections were spot on and I was never confused with the voices. Very well done.

The ending to The Golden Wolf series has left me completely speechless. The author completely has outdone herself with the ending. The snark and badass Cin is here and I'm here for it. Her character has grown throughout the series and I feel like it really shines in this installment. I didn't realize how much I missed the characters until I started reading. Bebe and Jor both crack me up. Han and Havoc are both a hot mess and I didn't know how everything would end but I'm very pleased with the ending.
The narrator, Amy Landon did a great job portraying Cin, Bebe and the other characters in the series. I was hooked from the very beginning and Amy kept me engaged till the very end.

If you enjoy Norse mythology, found family, dark fantasy, banter, rejected mates, and redemption be sure to grab this series.

Hello, forbidden love.
The build up in this one was insane. Then you add the voices of both Shane East, and Stella Hunter. YUM!! There's just something about Shane East's voice that captivates you and the growl...heaven. Scarlett and Asher are my new favorite couple. There are plenty of steamy scenes in this book, that library scene is caliente! As the book progresses, it was great to see both Scarlett and Asher's characters grow for the better. Asher is definitely a keeper and the author just knows how to write the best book boyfriends. The cars, and author meet up. Totally swooning over that.
