The debut psychological thriller that will forever change the way you look at other people's lives. Every day the same. Rachel takes the same commuter train every morning and night. Every day she rattles down the track, flashes past a stretch of cozy suburban homes, and stops at the signal that allows her to daily watch the same couple breakfasting on their deck. She’s even started to feel like she knows them. Jess and Jason, she calls them. Their life - as she sees it - is perfect. Not unlike the life she recently lost.

A really engrossing read.
Revisado: 04-05-15
Enjoyed all the twists and turns. Interesting story up till the last. The only thing I didn't like was the hopping all over the place- a couple times hard to follow, but generally loved it.

There's something achingly familiar about Daniel Grigori. Mysterious and aloof, he captures Luce Price's attention from the moment she sees him on her first day at the Sword & Cross boarding school in sultry Savannah, Georgia. He's the one bright spot in a place where cell phones are forbidden, the other students are all screw-ups, and security cameras watch every move.

Anais Nin is undoubtedly a great writer. In Delta of Venus she welcomes us into a world of new experiences where she demands that 'sex be mixed with tears, laughter, promises....new faces, dancing and wine.' This ground breaking collection of stories explores aspects of female sexuality long unexposed until Anais opened what she herself was to call 'that Pandora's box.' It is brave, fearless and compelling.

I couldn't make it through.
Revisado: 08-24-12
Would you try another book from Anais Nin and/or Ingrid Pitt?
I don't think I would try any others. After reading reviews and having it suggested, I really tried to get through it. I just couldn't get past the narration. Sometimes it just ruins the story.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
The narration was the worst part. Annoying.. I deleted it before I could get through 30 minutes.

Deborah Harkness’s sparkling debut, A Discovery of Witches, has brought her into the spotlight and galvanized fans around the world. In this tale of passion and obsession, Diana Bishop, a young scholar and a descendant of witches, discovers a long-lost and enchanted alchemical manuscript, Ashmole 782, deep in Oxford's Bodleian Library. Its reappearance summons a fantastical underworld, which she navigates with her leading man, vampire geneticist Matthew Clairmont.

Unexpected and I really liked it...
Revisado: 08-24-12
Would you listen to A Discovery of Witches again? Why?
I would listen to it again...I really liked it. After listening to the second in the series, I appreciated this one more. It was more concise, had a few twists and turns that weren't expected. Made me interested in some history that I never knew existed. Quite good!
What did you like best about this story?
All of the characters and that, for the most part, it wasn't predictable.
Have you listened to any of Jennifer Ikeda’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I had never listened to Jennifer before, but I liked her story telling and characterizations. Very good, and I would seek her out again.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I tried to listen to it all in one sitting, but couldn't manage it for being busy. I finished it in a couple of days though.

Picking up from A Discovery of Witches' cliff-hanger ending, Shadow of Night takes reluctant witch Diana Bishop and vampire geneticist Matthew Clairmont on a trip through time to Elizabethan London, where they are plunged into a world of spies, magic, and a coterie of Matthew's old friends, the School of Night. As the search for Ashmole 782—the lost and enchanted manuscript whose mystery first pulled Diana and Matthew into one another's orbit—deepens and Diana seeks out a witch to tutor her in magic, the net of Matthew's past tightens around them.

I really wanted to love it...
Revisado: 08-24-12
Would you listen to Shadow of Night again? Why?
I wouldn't listen to it again...I really wanted to love it, but it wasn't even close to the thought out story of the first book that held my attention. It hopped all over the place to make sense of what it needed to explain.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
I knew there would have to be another book - the ending was expected.
Have you listened to any of Jennifer Ikeda’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
She's good. I would listen to her again.

Olivia Bishop is no fun. That's what her ex-husband said. And that's what her smart bob and glasses imply. So with her trademark determination, Olivia sets out to remake her life. She's going to spend time with her girlfriends and not throw it all away for some man. But when an outing with her book club leads her to a brewery taproom, the dark-haired beauty realizes that trouble - in the form of sexy Jamie Donovan - may be too tempting to avoid.

Revisado: 05-29-12
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
I liked the story, but since I listen while on the road it was difficult as the narrator sounded like she was whispering whenever she would switch characters- annoying.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
Whispering when switching characters. Ruined it for me.

Revisado: 03-26-12
What made the experience of listening to Devil May Care the most enjoyable?
Loved the story. Wish it wouldn't end.
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
It wasn't a suspenseful as some I had listened to before, but it was still entertaining.

Maybe it was the Shenanigans gift certificate that put her over the edge. When children's librarian and self-professed nice girl Jane Jameson is fired by her beastly boss and handed $25 in potato skins instead of a severance check, she goes on a bender that's sure to become Half Moon Hollow legend. On her way home, she's mistaken for a deer, shot, and left for dead.

Cute Story
Revisado: 01-16-12
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
I was looking for something a little bit lighter and fun after some heavy topics. This definitely hit the mark. I had read the reviews and wasn't disappointed. Some parts had me actually LOLing. I liked it enough to download the second one which I'm currently enjoying.
What three words best describe Amanda Ronconi’s voice?
Southern, entertaining, fitting
Was Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs worth the listening time?
Definitely worth a listen
