He could have done better

Revisado: 08-23-23

Spoilers ahead...

Why are so many people mad to the point of breaking friendships over someone taking the blame for a prank that did not affect anyone but the main character. I'd understand if he was suspended from the team or was forced to break commitments to do punishments but there was no real repercussions except the community service, so why did people care THAT much?!? Covering for a jerk stinks but Zack seems like he would have covered for his other friends too. The love interest was also problematic. Chip was so self centered and manipulative that I kept routing for Zack to realize he could have done better. Secretly hoping that a side character would turn out to be the real love interest by half way through the book. This seems like a toxic relationship and shouldn't be celebrated. This boy made it seemed that what was important to him was the only important thing and what Zack was working for with soccer (and for his team) was trivial in comparison. Just because he's passionate about the environment doesn't mean that he should think his priorities are more important; and the use of emotional blackmail against the main character more than once was upsetting.

Normally wouldn't rant, but this book is aimed at young adults, and they need to know that this type of relationship is not healthy. I gave this 2 stars since the other relationships in the book were done well.

This series will make you love goblins

Revisado: 05-15-23

Absolutely love this series, each book gets better and better. The audio version is amazing, the narrator brings the story to life like few others in her field. These books have a way of leaving me sad or depressed when I finish one and know I have to wait to hear the next. Love that they are available for free on her website but it's hard to read them when the audio version is spectacular.

Colonial Marines

Revisado: 02-02-23

First of all, here is a list of the authors and the stories they contributed to this collection. I don't know about you but I always want to have a list handy when listening to short stories. I find a lot on new authors this way.

Chance Encounter by Paul Kupperberg
Reaper by Dan Abnett
Broken by Rachel Caine
Reclamation by Yvonne Navarro
Blowback by Christopher Golden
Exterminators by Matt Forbeck
No Good Deed by Ray Garton
Zero to Hero by Weston Ochse
Dark Mother by David Farland
Episode 22 by Larry Correia
Deep Background by Keith R. A. DeCandido
Empty Nest by Brian Keene
Darkness Falls by Heather Graham
Hugs to Die For by Mike Resnick and Marina J. Lostetter
Deep Black by Jonathan Maberry
Distressed by James A. Moore
Dangerous Prey by Scott Sigler
Spite by Tim Lebbon

For the review, this book is filled with fun stories about the Colonial Marines from the movie Aliens. Some of them are amazing while others are just OK but all in all I think this is a great addition to the lore of the Alien universe. Not every story includes the Xenomorphs but in the universe this book portrays not every encounter should. I think it builds an universe that is most likely what we will face if we ever get out there.

Odd and Marvelous - One in a Million

Revisado: 12-10-20

I can honestly say that this is one of the oddest books I've ever read but in a very good way. The narrator was outstanding. I hope anyone who glances at this review will take a chance on this book. You will not read another one like it.

This is a fantastic series!! I love the world and the narrator brings everyone to life. Each book is long but it flies by so fast, this is one of my repeat series. I cannot wait for volume 3 to come out.

New Sci-Fi Adventure

Revisado: 03-29-20 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Very imaginative universe created by the author. The characters were very likeable. Lots of twists and turns; I loved all the different beings that were created and the abilities they possessed. This is a family friendly book showing people giving up things they loved for the greater good; it's also a plain good book for adults too.

Action Adventure with Sci-Fi

Revisado: 12-19-19 El oyente recibió este título gratis

It's a treasure hunt set in a catastrophic world event; a fun race around the world to find all the pieces of a machine that can help humanity during the aftermath of a terrorist nuclear attacks. The ending was amazing. Without giving anything away, I think this will appeal to action adventure as well as sci-fi fans. Great start to a new series.

What a great new series!!

Revisado: 11-23-19 El oyente recibió este título gratis

I was amazed with the first book and the second book just blew me away. I love the story and the characters. I enjoy the world the author created and the atmosphere of these books. I read a bunch of reviews on both these books and I cannot be happier with my decision to give this series a try.

Fans of science fiction, LitRPG, and fantasy should give this a try. Anyone who enjoys an action packed adventure with a bunch of light hearted elements should try this out too.

LitRPG that has it all

Revisado: 11-21-19 El oyente recibió este título gratis

This is a fantasy setting in a science fiction world. I loved the idea behind the story. This is a fun action packed adventure but it also makes you think about where our world is heading. Something all good science fiction does. I enjoyed the characters and the story; the author gives you just enough back ground to keep you interested in each character while building them up through out the story. I am very curious to see where this leads and already have the second book downloading as I type.

I love this narrator and I stubbled across this book as I looked for other stuff she's done that would appeal to me.

Simply Amazing

Revisado: 11-04-19

Over 43 hours and never bored once! I considered listening to it over again when I reached the end, it was that good. I can't wait for the second book to come out on Audible. The Narrator was fantastic, I started looking into other books she's done.
