Audiobook Review: Winter by Marissa Meyer

Posted December 16, 2015 by Wendy in Reviews / 5 Comments

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 […]

Audiobook Review: A Madness So Discreet by Mindy McGinnis

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 […]

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 […]

Review: Walk On Earth A Stranger by Rae Carson

Why Did I Read? I was SO excited to hear that Rae Carson was coming out with a new fantasy series! I adored her Girl of Fire and Thorns series, so I could not have been more elated! My Thoughts: First off, this book was not what I expected at all. I think I was expecting a fantasy akin to Rae’s previous series but Walk On Earth A Stranger felt primarily historical fiction with just a touch of fantasy. For me, this didn’t pose a problem […]

Why Did I Read? There is a ton of hype surrounding this book but of course, I was intrigued and plus, I am a huge sci-fi fan! My Thoughts: It’s going to be really tough for me to review this book. I just really, really loved it and this book is so unique and is worthy of all the hype, 100%. I didn’t mean to read this in one sitting. But I did. I could not put it down. I honestly didn’t know […]
