Book Series Review: Until the End of the World

I'm not typically a fan of horror, zombies, or books that mess with my emotions as broadly as this book did. That being said, all four books in this series where addictive, well written, kept me guessing, and thoroughly had me on edge in one way or another.

The author of Until the End of the World, Sarah Lyons Fleming, has a way with words that is not only unique but makes her one of the better authors I've discovered in 2015. If you choose to listen to this series instead of read it, the Audible version read by Julia Whelan is an excellent choice. She adds to the characters with her tone, pitch, and pauses.

BOOK REVIEW: Echo: Soul Seekers, Book 2 UNABRIDGED by Alyson Noël

Book 2 of Soul Seekers

"Enchanting and Sad"

Story

This book has some very lovable and hate-able characters. I love the native american influences and magical intrigue. This book doesn't seem to end the series, just wish I'd know that first, so I could have waited before starting a series with no ending. I'm a little shocked and confused by it. The is a teenage magic love mystery.

TIP: If you don't want to listen to the boring descriptions of what animals mean to the author, skip the first 5 minutes and 17 seconds of both books!

Overall I would definitely recommend this book.

BOOK REVIEW: Passion, Betrayal, and Killer Highlights UNABRIDGED by Kyra Davis

"Not My TYPICAL PURCHASE.. But still.. Not Bad"

Story

I originally got this book because I adore Gabra Zackman. She is an amazing narrator. In this book she gives herself an east coast accent that I was not expecting since I got the book without listening to a sample. Plus I'm not normally into murder mysteries but Gabra made this book for me.

BOOK REVIEW: Wizard's First Rule: Sword of Truth, Book 1 (Book Series) UNABRIDGED by Terry Goodkind

"Captivating Fantasy"

Overall

Performance

Story

Would you consider the audio edition of Wizard's First Rule to be better than the print version?

I loved the tv series and this is just as good with a few additional things the tv series doesn't show you. After reading this, I had to go back and watch some of the episodes again. Highly recommend this series.

Who was your favorite character and why?

The seeker, he's dynamic and interesting. His love life is sad, but he always means well and is the true heroic figure of any fantasy book.

What does Sam Tsoutsouvas bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He is an excellent reader, very captivating.

BOOK REVIEW: Poison Study UNABRIDGED by Maria V. Snyder

"Addictive series"

Overall

Performance

Story

The book, The Poison Study, by Maria V. Snyder starts you off slowly figuring out what's going on and reals you in. Get set for hours of entertainment and a few sleepless nights.

Poison Study is one of those book series that are hard to walk away from. From writing to narration, everything is done so professionally, you will enjoy the whole thing.

Poison study is a clever title considering the book is about our heroine who was suppose to be killed for killing and ends up a food taster. This book is full of intrigue, romance, surprises, and challenges making you love and hate so many characters and then rolls back around to surprise you.

A DEFINITE BUY and READ IMMEDIATELY.

My review of the other two books in the series:

I listened straight through. The narrator was easy to listen to, the story had me hooked. You feel yourself drawn in and loving the characters. There are some books that pull you into another word, another land, another place or time; and this is one of them.


I ADORE Gabra Zackman's narrations and have recently sought out more of the books she reads because she is just sooooo easy for me to follow along. She uses light voice changes to change between characters, but nothing distracting. Maria Snyder NAILED IT with a variety of characters, magical plot and a whirlwind romance that is not over done. GET ALL THREE BOOKS.


Just wish audible would label the book numbers better on the mobile app.
