One in Vermilion

Revisado: 03-23-24

This entire series was fantastic. I blew through all three books faster than I wish, because I'm now sad they're over. Crusie and Mayer are so great at blending humor and action and romance. I haven't found any other books like theirs, even though I've been searching for years, ever since reading Agnes and the Hitman many years ago.

Rest In Pink

Revisado: 03-21-24

Loved this story. This series is great so far, and as the second book, I'm just loving that each book has had its own mystery and storyline arc from start to finish but also an overarching storyline throughout all the books. I'm going straight from this one to book #3. I said it after reading Lavender's Blue and I'll say it again after Rest In Pink: I am so happy Jennifer Crusie and Bob Mayer decided to write another series together, especially this type of small-town mystery-slash-romance-slash-comedy that they're so great at.

Crusie & Mayer are Back!

Revisado: 03-18-24

Jennifer Crusie and Bob Mayer are back, and my gosh, I've missed them. I loved this book. Reminded me so much of Agnes and the Hitman with its small-town mystery, banter, romance, family, and secrets. It's as much about the side characters as the MCs for me, so as much as I loved Vince and especially Liz, Peri, Molly, Anemone, and a couple others were extremely entertaining. And no complaints about the narration. I alternated between the ebook and Audible and love how it remembers my place between the two medias. I can't wait to read where they take this series!

The Storyteller by Dave Grohl

Revisado: 12-31-23

The Storyteller by Dave Grohl might have just taken the #1 spot in my favorite autobiographies. Each chapter is its own theme and not necessarily in chronological order. From childhood events to "making of the band" stories, family life to backstage shenanigans, grief to joy, I loved all of it. I don't know if I would've liked it quite as much if I'd been reading it instead of listening to Dave's voice reading his own book, but the stories included still would have been entertaining. His emotions and occasional sound effects made it so much better. Plus, he even made the end credits funny. Highly recommend the audio version of this book.

Through the Ether

Revisado: 01-04-23 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Sad the story of Piper, Merc, and Knox is complete. An incredible amount of events were packed into this final book of the series, including the introduction of an entirely new powerful character and part of Faerie. I wasn't quite sold on the ending at first, and I'm still a little heartbroken, but the more I think about it, the more I think it was perfection.

Beneath the Dust

Revisado: 06-11-22

This series keeps getting better. Beneath the Dust is more action-packed and evenly paced than the first three books, in my opinion. It feels like the author found her stride and I'm loving it. Cannot wait to start the fifth and final book Through the Ether!

Beyond the Shadows

Revisado: 06-06-22 El oyente recibió este título gratis

This was my favorite book of the series so far. The emotions, relationship growth, and conflicts all seemed more genuine than in the first two books. I could relate to the characters more and finally feel like I'm invested in the story. Already starting book #4!

Into the Storm

Revisado: 06-04-22 El oyente recibió este título gratis

I'm still enjoying this series and plan to read the rest of the books, but I just couldn't relate to Piper in this one. It's impossible for me to imagine not being extremely upset when a mate, boyfriend, lover (or whatever you want to call them) keeps secrets and refuses to come clean when everyone else warns her about them. No woman I know would let that slide. Other that that, the story and characters are entertaining. Looking forward to getting some resolution in the next book.

From the Ashes

Revisado: 05-31-22

I really enjoyed the second half of From the Ashes and am glad I kept reading. There was so much mystery around what Piper actually was that the first half was almost uncomfortable for me to listen to, especially once the complication of Merc's mood swings was added. I loved all the characters and how they grew throughout the story, though. Jase and Dean are phenomenal. There are still a lot of unanswered questions I'm hoping will be answered in the next book.

Scrappy Little Nobody

Revisado: 05-24-22

I LOVED the narration by the author, because the book is written in her voice, so it only makes sense to listen to it in her voice. To be honest, I couldn't quite get into it when I tried to read the e-book myself, and I think that's why. The book is filled with funny stories and down-to-earth musings. Highly recommend the audiobook over the physical or e-book.
