The Choice by Nora Roberts My rating: 5 of 5 stars I think Nora Roberts is now my favorite author and Barrie Kreinik is my favorite narrator. This Dragon Heart Legacy series has been a blast. I loved every minute of time I spent in that world with those characters. Fantasies and romances get boring and predictable. Mostly predictible in that I know the writer is going to try to make the book more…

The Becoming by Nora Roberts My rating: 4 of 5 stars Nora Roberts is becoming one of my favorite authors. Barrie Kreinik is one of the best narrators; not a single character sounds like any other, and each person’s emotions are clear. So their teamwork makes this one of the best fantasy series I’ve read in a long time. Book two develops the worlds and the conflict between the angry fae and those…

The Awakening by Nora Roberts My rating: 4 of 5 stars I can’t decide which person I am most impressed with: Nora Roberts with the writing, or Barrie Kreinik and her versatile storytelling. Fantasy usually bugs me. Too scary, too weird that ghosts, vampires, werefolk, etc. interbreed. I like the adventure and opportunity to travel to new lands, but the rest… Anyway, this book followed a different…

The Mirror by Nora Roberts My rating: 4 of 5 stars Brittany Pressley narrates this second book of the Lost Bride Trilogy as she did the first and third. She brings all the characters, embodied and disembodied, with clarity and humor. Nora Roberts is becoming a favorite author for me. I am sure these books come across on the page as well as they do in audiobook form. These aren’t terribly scary…

The Housemaid’s Wedding by Freida McFadden My rating: 4 of 5 stars This was a quick read. Lauryn Allman and Edoardo Ballerini narrate this short story to heighten the intensity of paranoia it instills. I finished in less than an hour and a half. But once started, I knew I couldn’t quit until the characters were safe. Even then, I had trouble falling asleep. Please take that as a warning. Frieda…

Weyward by Emilia Hart My rating: 4 of 5 stars Aysha Kala, Helen Keeley, and Nell Barlow narrated Emilia Hart’s three-layered novel. “Witch. The word slithers from the mouth like a serpent, drips from the tongue as thick and black as tar. We never thought of ourselves as witches, my mother and I. For this was a word invented by men, a word that brings power to those that speak it, not those that…

The Housemaid’s Secret by Freida McFadden My rating: 4 of 5 stars I love a series. Especially if I can get to a couple of the books at a time, this one was available when I found the first book. Yep, Libby. Lauryn Allman did the narration as she did on the first book, so there was consistency in the story. I found some parts of this one confusing. Maybe if you can read the book, it would be more…

Gone Before Goodbye by Reese Witherspoon Well, I hope this is made into a movie. This was suspenseful, thrilling, and intriguing! It had a star-studded cast of narrators, including Reese Witherspoon, Chris Pine, Kiff VandenHeuvel, Suehyla El-Attar Young, Peter Ganim, Saskia Maarleveld, and James Fouhey. So not only did Ms. Witherspoon write this, but she also narrated it. The characters were…
