Sweet Cheeks

So much better than the first book

Revisado: 10-02-21

The story continues and the character development improves dramatically. There's less male bashing and more realistic emotional reality. This sequel had me holding my breath more than once and the ending was not what I was expecting.

I don't know how I would react in some of the situations portrayed in the book, but I know I kept wishing some of the characters would develop a backbone. There's a bit of redemption at the end. The depravity of human beings boggles the mind and I lack the imagination the author used in several scenarios.

The author found her groove in book two and the story flowed well. The way Shelby ended it left me wanting to know to know more. Though I have to wonder if a professional editor was used because there was a stark contrast between books 1 and two. Regardless, they were both good listens (Audible version). On to book 3.

Best I've read in this genre

Revisado: 09-28-21

Most of this type of book has a strong male lead so it was nice to read from a female perspective. It seems to have been written from personal experience as there was a realism not contained in other books.

Sadly, many things written in here are no longer fiction. The author has a good insight into human nature and the workings of government. She weaves real-life defense tactics smoothly into the story.

Another aspect I enjoyed was her process for preparing. As a widowed mom, I can relate on a level that married women can't. It's a struggle financially to make sure I keep a roof over our heads much less preparing for a meltdown of society.

The reason for 4 stars is the negativity toward the male population. I'm also ugly as a mud fence so the men in my sphere don't treat me the way the men in this book treated Julie so there's that. Also, the reader is a bit too breathless for my taste. I listen to alot of Davina Porter and Barabara Rosenblat so a much younger voice was a bit too girlish for me. It got better as the book went on, just be aware.

Overall I really enjoyed A Great State, The Divide. So much so I'm spending a hoarded credit for Book 2.

cute story

Revisado: 06-27-21

I'm not quite sure what I was expecting. It's a sweet story but the ending was kind "meh" and the character development a bit lacking. Not sure I would buy the sequel. Davina Porter, however, did not disappoint.

Not as good as I remember them.

Revisado: 01-31-21

Once upon a time I was a truck driver and adored Nevada Barr's Anna Pigeon series. Apparently my tastes have changed or it's not as captivating as it used to be but A Superior Death failed to hold my attention. I had to start it over 3x and finally pushed through to the end. I had a difficult time keeping the characters straight and the character development left me with a blah feeling. I was a bit disappointed overall because Michigan is my native state. I will give her kudos for the way she writes about widowhood and the loss of a spouse. I'm about the same aga as Anna's character and the bits where she's describing her loneliness and thoughts on loss are spot on.

Not bad for a 20 year old novel

Revisado: 05-08-20

I had heard of Nelson Deville novels, but never read one. I'm sorry I waited so long. I listened to the Audible version during Quarantine while I quilted. The author leads you along a logical line of investigation while building an interesting cast of characters and the narrator, Scott Brick, is a favorite. Who doesn't appreciate a good novel set on the East Coast with legends of buried treasures? No spoilers, but there's a disappointing twist at the end with the guilty party. This book made for a great listening experience and I highly recommend it.

Not what I was expecting

Revisado: 12-16-19

I've listened to many David Baldacci novels so I was very pleasantly surprised at the climax. I'm also a quilter and the reader is easy to hear over the sewing machine with a clear, cultured voice. I'm looking forward to listening to the next book in the series.

It's a great book and a good narration, but I'm not being allowed to listen.
