Fiona Hardingham narrates this one and she is like my all time favorite narrator. That was probably one of the best parts of this listen for me. Acid is about a girl named Jenna Strong, who has just been broken out of prison by a group she knows nothing about, and now she is on the run from ACID – a crazy police force that basically runs the city. I felt like this one had a lot of potential. It’s an […]

Why Did I Read? I’m a big fan of time travel books and so of course, the sound of this one hooked me in! My Thoughts: I am all about time travel and historical fiction so Passenger seemed to be the perfect fit for me! For the most part, I really enjoyed this one! It started off really slowly for me though. There’s a large segment in the beginning where our main character Etta goes back in time and she really […]

The Sound: I’ve mentioned last week in my series review of Cinder, Scarlet, and Cress how much I LOVE the narrator and that obviously has not changed. This audio book is the longest I’ve listened to. TWENTY-THREE AND A HALF HOURS. I loved every second of it and fell into such a book slump after this book because I not only missed the world and the characters but I missed their voices. Rebecca Soler is amazing. She captured each character perfectly and it definitely enhanced […]

The Sound: I really enjoyed the narrator for this one! I think it helped set up just the right atmosphere for the book because her voice of Grace seemed spot on to me. She really brought to life all the secondary characters. I think my enjoyment level would definitely have taken a dive if I had read and not listened to it on audio. The Story: That being said, while I enjoyed the audio narration, the story was a little […]

Why Did I Read? Well I’ve always been a fan of Westerns! I own almost all the seasons of Rawhide on DVD because I’m obsessed with young Clint Eastwood and his character Rowdy’s adventures on a cattle drive! So I was definitely eager to read this one! My Thoughts: This was one fast paced, intense ride! I enjoyed it so much!! The story starts out with Kate Thompson finding her father murdered. She immediately chases after them, determined to avenge […]
