A fascinating listen for women’s history month
Revisado: 03-15-24
As a millennial born in the late 80’s I knew almost nothing about Sandra Day OConnor and relatively little about Ruth Bader Ginsburg before diving into this book. I thoroughly enjoyed it and learned a lot. I found the descriptions of court cases and legal presidents informative but also accessible and understandable.

Historia
It's a familiar tale: A kind and beautiful young girl, reeling from loss. A doting father, frantic to bring a mother's love back into his daughter's life. And the selfish, cruel woman who insinuates herself into that family - a woman so unfeeling, so cold hearted, that when her new husband dies, she makes the girl a servant in her own home.

Holy. Cow!!! I never thought I would totally “get” where the evil step mother was coming from, but after this retelling, I do! This was another installment of the wonderful villain series, and well worth the read/listen.

Historia
Minor Detail begins during the summer of 1949, one year after the war that the Palestinians mourn as the Nakba - the catastrophe that led to the displacement and exile of some 700,000 people - and the Israelis celebrate as the War of Independence. Israeli soldiers murder an encampment of Bedouin in the Negev desert, and among their victims, they capture a Palestinian teenager, and they rape her, kill her, and bury her in the sand. Many years later, in the near-present day, a young woman in Ramallah tries to uncover some of the details surrounding this particular rape and murder.

Historia
When Kora Williams wakes up inside the dark alien warship called Silence, fate has spun completely out of her control. She doesn't understand why she was abducted by a vicious, depraved Kordolian, and she can't believe she was rescued by an even more dangerous one. A big armor-clad brute of a warrior, who lifted her into his arms far too easily, as if she weighed next to nothing. She should be dead, or at the very least, doomed to a terrible life as a slave. But she's been saved, and now she's on a ship full of dangerous silver-skinned aliens and their surprisingly human mates.

Another awesome Dark Star Mercenaries story
Revisado: 12-09-23
Undying Stars is another awesome Dark Star Mercenaries story. It is Jeral’s turn with the mating fever. He is the first division sniper and plays a big role in the overall story of the series told in this book.
I was disappointed with the reader. I definitely prefer the two previous male readers.

Great story, great series, great narration
Revisado: 12-07-22
Electric Heart is a great story. It will make the most sense if you listen to it after reading some of the other books in the series. The series is awesome, there is spice, scary but sexy aliens, drama, conflict and of course happy endings! Jillian Macie is awesome to listen to. She captures the characters well and has a peaceful and soothing voice. I have read this book, listened to it and I am sure I will do both again.

Historia
Sally Skellington is the official Pumpkin Queen after a whirlwind courtship with her true love, Jack, who Sally adores with every inch of her fabric seams—if only she could say the same for her new role as Queen of Halloween Town. She can't help but wonder if all she's done is trade her captivity under Dr. Finkelstein for a different cage. But when she and Zero accidentally uncover a doorway to an ancient realm called Dream Town, she'll unknowingly set into motion a chain of sinister events that put her future as Pumpkin Queen, and the future of Halloween Town itself, into jeopardy.

S-l-o-w start, got ok about half way, good ending
Revisado: 10-12-22
Fans of Nightmare Before Christmas will enjoy Sally’s story in Long Live the Pumpkin Queen. The story starts off slow and at the beginning Sally is so unsure of herself and so whiny that I almost gave up on the book. That being said, I loved how it ended. About half way through, the story finally got interesting and we got a look at Sally’s past, she gains some confidence and starts acting like the Sally from the movie. The narrator really tried to sound like Sally from the movie, but talked so slow and was too whiny for my taste. Speeding up the reading speed helped a little.

Historia
Katria swore she'd never fall in love. She's seen what "love" means through the cruelty of her family. So when she's married off to the mysterious Lord Fenwood for a handsome price, all Katria wants is a better life than the one she's leaving. Feelings are off the table. But her new husband makes not falling in love difficult. As their attraction begins to grow, so too do the oddities within her new life: strange rules, screams in the night, and attacks by fae. When she witnesses a ritual not meant for human eyes, Katria finds herself spirited away to the land of Midscape.

Yes, A Dance with the Fae Prince is just that good. I read it in n Kindle Unlimited earlier this year and just finished listening to the audible version. The narrator was fabulous, her voice fit this story perfectly.

A Joy to Read
Revisado: 08-14-22
A Deal with the Elf King is an enchanting stand alone fantasy romance story in a magical world created by Elise Kova. Luella, the Human Queen is the narrator and main character is easy to love. She is driven, kind, confident and so smart. This story contains some mild spice between husband and wife that is very tasteful. I can’t recommend this book enough! The audiobook was a pleasure to listen to, I especially enjoyed the voices Elizabeth Evans created for each character.

Incredible Ending
Revisado: 08-04-22
This book is intense! It is the perfect (happy) ending to the Vortex Chronicles series. I laughed, I cried sad and happy tears, and I enjoyed every word! It has been a couple weeks and I am still thinking about this story and how perfect the ending is.

A must read for fans of the Air Awakens series
Revisado: 07-25-22
Before reading this you should read the Air Awakens series, the Golden Guard Trilogy and the previous Vortex Chronicles books.
With each new Elise Kova book I read she blows my mind even more. The story she has weaved about the Solaris family has a depth that makes these books fascinating to read and impossible to put down,
