I've read.Dune twice in the past but this was my first time listening to an audio production. The narration and light background music was excellent. I highly recommend this audiobook

We are all and nothing now, our fate weighed on the scales of the stars and counterbalanced by the forces that oppose us. The shadow of the false king spreads as thick as oil across the kingdom we were born to rule, and none remain untouched by its darkness. Our crowns lay within reach if only we can claim them. All souls are at risk now and when the final battle dawns, a new regime will rise.

We were torn from life before our time, a Savage King, his queen, a betrayed son, a wronged brother, a scorned wife and so many more. We watch those we left behind as they struggle against the grip of the stars, the answers to so many of their questions within our grasp and yet out of their reach.

Mostly filler
Reviewed: 05-20-24
I had a hard time keeping track of some of the new-ish characters introduced in this book and if they had been introduced in the previous books, they had been inconsequential. The best scenes are in the last third of the book, but most chapters are a repeat of book 8 but from a dead person's POV, which makes for a pretty boring read. I ended up skipping some chapters in full and don't think I lost anything. At best this should have been a mich shorter novella.

I've really enjoyed Shen's Cruel Castaway series, and this is a solid entry that leaves a reader satisfied. The banter between Duffy and Riggs keeps the listener entertained and the angst level wasn't too bad. I loved Duffy's family and getting a glimpse of the characters from books 1 and 2.

Allie Hayes is in crisis mode. With graduation looming, she still doesn't have the first clue about what she's going to do after college. To make matters worse, she's nursing a broken heart thanks to the end of her longtime relationship. Wild rebound sex is definitely not the solution to her problems, but gorgeous hockey star Dean Di-Laurentis is impossible to resist. Just once, though, because even if her future is uncertain, it sure as heck won't include the king of one-night stands.

The Score is a satisfying third entry in the Off Campus series. I enjoyed The Deal and the Mistake slightly more, but liked how the relationship between Allie and Dean grew in this one. The narration was very good, too. I would definitely recommend if you've enjoyed other Elle Kennedy books.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 489
Cured is not only the first insider account of the early days of the band, it is a revealing look at the artistic evolution of the enigmatic Robert Smith, the iconic lead singer, songwriter, and innovative guitarist at the heart of The Cure. A deeply rebellious, sensitive, tough, and often surprisingly "normal" young man, Smith was from the start destined for stardom, a fearless nonconformist and provocateur who soon found his own musical language through which to express his considerable and unique talent.

I've been a fan of the cure for over 30 years and my only regret is not reading this book sooner. Lol is an excellent narrator with a soothing voice that takes the reader on his life's journey, with The Cure and his friendship with Robert Smith being centerpiece for much of it. His battles are heartbreaking but all too human.

But when her A game turns out to be a lukewarm C- at Juilliard, Bailey's picture-ready life starts fraying faster than the worn satin ribbons of her pointe shoes. She's becoming a piece of gossip.

Finale to the All Saints High series
Reviewed: 02-13-24
I've read the entire All Saints High and Sinners of Saints series and this book is their conclusion. This book is the story of Bailey and Levi, son of Dean Cole and the deceased Rosie. Along with Pretty Reckless, this is my least favorite story and I had to force myself to finish it. Bailey is addicted to painkillers and it's just a depressing journey to read about. Also, there is a lot of other-woman drama with Levi's delusional HS girlfriend that he strings along. Bailey and Levi love each other but I didn't feel the romance. There was nothing swoony in these pages, just a lot of emotional turmoil and pain, and some desire and devotion.
All LJ Shen novels have a certain level of angst and I prefer her at no more than Medium on the angst dial. This was just a lot. I may have liked this novel better if I read it but on Audible, I guess the narrator's did too good of a job expressing the characters' misery.

I really enjoyed this sweet Christmas romance. The narrators are great and breathe life into the story and the characters. I'm not sure I would have purchased it if I realized it was only 2.5 hours but I'm glad I did. It was engaging and enjoyable. There's no spice but there is a lot of desire, romance and emotion.

I’m not attracted to men.. Or so I thought before I slammed into Nikolai Sokolov.. A mafia heir, a notorious bastard, and a violent monster.. An ill-fated meeting puts me in his path. And just like that, he has his sights set on me. A quiet artist, a golden boy, and his enemy’s twin brother. He doesn’t seem to care that the odds are stacked against us. In fact, he sets out to break my steel-like control and blur my limits. I thought my biggest worry was being noticed by Nikolai. I’m learning the hard way that being wanted by this beautiful nightmare is much worse.

If you like emotional romances that can tear your heart apart and then piece you back together, Niko and Bran's journey will not disappoint. The narrators were perfect matches for the characters and added so much depth to the story. I just finished and am going to read this again. I absolutely loved it. Side note: MM is not a genre I usually enjoy but this love story transcended any limitations and bounds and was just beautiful. If you are a fan of Rina Kent, this will not disappoint.
