Historia
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Phenomenal!
Revisado: 01-21-24
Everything about this was a 5 star experience! The voice acting and production of the audiobook was absolutely top notch. It was effortlessly funny. It was dark and gory, but the romance was soft and full of pining 🥰 When Sloane and Rowan got together, it was steamy as hell and it felt in line with their personalities. omg I can’t say enough about this book, and I can’t wait for the rest in the series!

Historia
Christian’s fed up of being on his own every Christmas. He doesn’t mind being alone, but he hates his family’s sad eyes and soft tones as they sit around coupled up. Because he’s actually, totally, fine. So when Megan literally bumps into Christian in a Dublin pub, they come up with a pact to see them through the holiday season. They’re going to be the very best fake dates for each other, ever. Rules are drawn up, a contract is signed on a wine-stained napkin. They will sit through each other’s family gatherings and be outrageously in love until freed from their annual obligations.

Historia
I’m a single dad and starting pitcher for Chicago’s MLB team. I’m stretched too thin, but I don’t want help raising my son. Each of his previous nannies only lasted a few weeks before I let them go. Now, my coach is putting his foot down by hiring the one person I can’t fire—his daughter. Miller Montgomery is the last woman I should fall for. Too wild, too young, and too unattached. Chicago is just a quick stop for her. I thought I’d be counting down the days until she left, but summer feels too short when I start thinking about forever.

The story was fine, the male narrator was awful
Revisado: 11-22-23
This was my least favorite book in this series so far. It was just lacking romantic connection for me, and the sex scenes got to be redundant. But the worst part by far was the male narrator, Alex Kydd. I hope the author doesn’t use him for future audiobooks. The voice he used for female characters felt like he was mocking them, he interjected uncomfortable and forced laughter every other sentence, and he gave Monty some kind of weird hybrid of a Boston/New York accent that didn’t seem warranted based on the character. The female narrator did a fantastic job and really brought Miller’s character to life, but the male narrator was like listening to nails on a chalkboard.

Narrators negatively impacted the listening experience
Revisado: 06-18-23
I think I would’ve liked this book more if not for the narrators. The female narrator was a bit annoying, especially when she was reading/quoting male characters, but the male narrator was really distracting. His performance felt more suited to a thriller novel than a romance. It was very stiff. All in all, a decent story that was negatively impacted by the narrators’ performances.

Historia
Clay Johnson has the abs of Adonis and the deadly smirk of the devil, himself. There’s hardly a day he’s not headline material during football season, and never a day he isn’t a bullseye target for every girl on campus. He used to be the easiest of all the players for me to wrangle as the public relations coordinator, but after a nasty breakup with his high school sweetheart, he’s a mess.

5 star book, bad audio quality
Revisado: 01-28-23
I really loved this book, and I’m so glad it became available on audiobook, as that’s the main format I use to read books. But, the female narrator’s audio quality was really bad. Sentences were cut abruptly short, and she really needed some soundproofing, because, as others mentioned, you could easily hear things being shuffled around and birds chirping in the background throughout the majority of her narration. She was also a bit flat with her delivery. But, it didn’t stop me from enjoying the story being told, and that really says a lot!

Historia
Callypso Lillis is a siren with a very big problem, one that stretches up her arm and far into her past. For the last seven years she's been collecting a bracelet of black beads up her wrist, magical IOUs for favors she's received. Only death or repayment will fulfill the obligations. Only then will the beads disappear. Everyone knows that if you need a favor, you go to the Bargainer to make it happen. He's a man who can get you anything you want...at a price. And everyone knows that sooner or later he always collects. But for one client, he's never asked for repayment. Not until now.

More interesting than ACOTAR, imo
Revisado: 07-01-22
I really enjoyed this. I feel like this should get more attention, especially from the ACOTAR crowd. This book worked much better for me than that series did. I almost didn’t read this because the only time I see it mentioned on booktok is when people claim it depicts grooming. That’s a bit of a stretch in my opinion, and I’m glad I decided to read it despite those negative reviews. I’m going to move on to book 2 in the series right away, and I’m excited to see where the story goes!

Historia
I was a good girl. I ate my vegetables, volunteered at the local autism centre, and sat in the front pew of church every Sunday. Then, I got cancer. What the hell kind of reward was that for a boring life well lived? I was a 17-year-old paradigm of virtue, and I was tired of it. So, when I finally ran into the man I'd been writing to since he saved my life as a little girl and he offered to show me the dark side of life before I left it for good, I said yes.

I’ve been waiting for this audiobook!
Revisado: 12-11-21
I’ve been waiting and hoping for this series to be recorded for audio since I first read this book. The story is great, but the way that King’s dialogue is written is very distracting for me to read. That’s no longer a problem with this audiobook! I loved this listening experience so much. I’m jumping right in to Welcome to the Dark Side, since it’s my favorite. I’m so excited this series is finally available as audiobooks, and I can’t wait to listen to every single one! 🖤

Historia
Amber Sand is not a witch. The Sand family Wicca gene somehow leapfrogged over her. But she did get one highly specific magical talent: she can see true love. As a matchmaker, Amber's pretty far down the sorcery food chain (even birthday party magicians rank higher), but after five seconds of eye contact, she can envision anyone's soul mate. Amber works at her mother's magic shop - Windy City Magic - in downtown Chicago, and she's confident she's seen every kind of happy ending there is: except for one - her own.

Cute and fun YA romance
Revisado: 12-22-20
I really enjoyed this story! It’s a YA contemporary paranormal romance, and that’s definitely not my usual genre, but it was so cute and fun. I enjoyed every moment!
