Fast paced....
Revisado: 05-20-24
Maybe it was me. I felt there were too many subplots and I got lost a few times. I could have used a few more reminders of how Kade came to power. For some reason, I'm drawing a blank on his back story.
That being said, it is still my favorite series and I will pre-order book 12.

Historia
Molly Gray is not like everyone else. She struggles with social skills and misreads the intentions of others. Her gran used to interpret the world for her, codifying it into simple rules that Molly could live by. Since Gran died a few months ago, twenty-five-year-old Molly has been navigating life’s complexities all by herself. No matter—she throws herself with gusto into her work as a hotel maid. Her unique character, along with her obsessive love of cleaning and proper etiquette, make her an ideal fit for the job.

There's a lot to unpack in this story.....
Revisado: 02-16-23
If you are triggered by domestic violence, you probably want to skip this book.
Kristin Hanna is a magnificent storyteller. She does a fantastic job of painting a picture of Alaska that is so vivid, you will feel like you are there. Her descriptions of the landscape, terrain and wildlife are beautifully woven into the story. Alaska is a major character in this book.
If you read the story summary, you already know it's about a family's move to Alaska. In Alaska, they learn family is more than who shares your DNA. The people they meet are strong and independent. Without hesitation, they extend their hand in helping the family survive in the wild. It's about a community of people who share a love of the wild but have conflict when it comes to progress.
It's about a young girl growing into a strong, independent woman while living in a violent household. What I loved most about the book is the loving bond between mother and daughter. Mom doesn't always make the right decisions, but her love for her daughter is undeniable.
It's also a coming of age story as it follows Leni's family from age 13 to adulthood. She tells her story of why Alaska is her home and why she loves it so much.
And, it tells a story of a man broken by the Vietnam war. He was a POW and carries the pain of those memories with him to Alaska. Unfortunately, the conditions of Alaska don't help his mental state and he becomes physically abusive. His wife has an undying love for him and tries to get him back to who he was before he went to war.
In summary, you have family and friends in a harsh and brutal landscape, looking for a better life.

Historia
Visiting her family's South Carolina estate, socialite Gray Godfrey wakes from a night out to an empty bed. Her husband, Paul, is gone, and a thrashing hangover has wiped her memory clean. At first, she's relieved for the break from her tumultuous marriage; perhaps Paul just needed some space. But when his car is found abandoned on the highway, Gray must face the truth: Paul is gone. And Gray may not want him found. Her life is unraveling. When a stranger named Annie calls claiming to know Paul's whereabouts, Gray reluctantly accepts her help.

Revisado: 03-15-22
Reviews for this book are all over the place. This reviewer loved the story and most of the performance. It had all the elements of a good mystery in that the author presents several scenarios of who might have done the crime. A good old-fashioned whodunit with a surprising ending. If you enjoyed Gone Girl or Girl On The Train, you will also enjoy When You Find Me

Historia
In 2011, a 26-year-old libertarian programmer named Ross Ulbricht launched the ultimate free market: the Silk Road, a clandestine website hosted on the Dark Web where anyone could trade anything - drugs, hacking software, forged passports, counterfeit cash, poisons - free of the government's watchful eye. It wasn't long before the media got wind of the new website where anyone - not just teenagers and weed dealers but terrorists and black hat hackers - could buy and sell contraband detection-free.

A perfect crime mystery story
Revisado: 03-08-22
You might think the story is fictional because it is THE perfect crime story. You have the young, handsome, educated middle-class man turned crime boss living a double life; beautiful, naïve woman madly in love with him (and him with her); government agencies tripping over themselves to catch the criminal hiding in plain sight; rouge law-enforcement agents using dirty tactics and succumbing to temptation to commit crimes themselves. It all comes together in this well researched book about a man with ideals that he has what it takes to outsmart everyone and create the most memorable crime of all time.

A beautiful mystery of a different sort
Revisado: 01-14-22
Throughout the story, I was expecting a deep, dark secret would jump off the pages and I would say "Ah-ha! I knew that would happen." Nope. Liane kept it twisted right up to the epilogue. Alice has that rare opportunity to remove all filters in her memory and look back on where she was at the beginning of her marriage. Over the course of a week, she learns of past decisions she made, people she has hurt and people she let fade from her life. Now, Alice has to decide who she likes better, the person she was or the person she became.

A Chapter A Day Keeps Depression Away
Revisado: 01-05-22
I don't recall who recommended this book and I am grateful that I followed their advice. I occasionally suffer from depression and this book helped me to understand what contributes to depression and how to combat the effects. The chapters are about 30 minutes in length, which makes it perfect for listening a little each day.

Historia
More than two centuries after World War III poisoned the planet, the final bastion of humanity lives on massive airships circling the globe in search of a habitable area to call home. Aging and outdated, most of the ships plummeted back to Earth long ago. The only thing keeping the two surviving lifeboats in the sky are Hell Divers - men and women who risk their lives by skydiving to the surface to scavenge for parts the ships desperately need.

From the first sentence through the last word, Hell Divers is exciting and engaging. The writer described in excellent detail what was happening and R.C. Bray brilliantly brought those words alive. Bravo! Can't wait to start the next book in the series

Historia
February 1862. The Civil War is less than one year old. The fighting has begun in earnest, and the nation has begun to realize it is in for a long, bloody struggle. Meanwhile, President Lincoln’s beloved eleven-year-old son, Willie, lies upstairs in the White House, gravely ill. In a matter of days, despite predictions of a recovery, Willie dies and is laid to rest in a Georgetown cemetery. “My poor boy, he was too good for this earth,” the president says at the time. “God has called him home.”

Ugh! Very difficult to follow the story

I couldn't finish. Perhaps in written form the story is exciting but the audio version is difficult to follow and poorly presented.
