Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them.

Loved the story, hated the narration
Reviewed: 06-21-23
I have easily listened to hundreds of audiobooks and I usually can get past a narrator I don’t like. I literally bought the book on kindle to finish reading because this narrator drove me insane. The beginning of the book had 3 errors/omissions that had been dubbed in with the corrected lines and I constantly could hear the narrator swallowing, it drove me absolutely insane!
Otherwise book is great, a bit slow start and very similar to most fantasy smut. Didn’t love the first half but the it finally started to pick up. Eager to read book #2.

Best of the series
Reviewed: 05-26-22
Honestly way better than the other books. I wasn’t a huge fan of the writing in the first book but got hooked on the plot and it was a freebie so I kept reading the series. In this book the author really caught her stride and it was filled with twists and turns and really managed to pull at my heart strings. Also, the narrator did a fantastic job giving everyone a voice and accent.

Meet Ove. He’s a curmudgeon—the kind of man who points at people he dislikes as if they were burglars caught outside his bedroom window. He has staunch principles, strict routines, and a short fuse. But behind the cranky exterior there is a story and a sadness. So when one November morning a chatty young couple with two chatty young daughters move in next door and accidentally flatten Ove’s mailbox, it is the lead-in to a comical and heartwarming tale of unkempt cats, unexpected friendship, and the ancient art of backing up a U-Haul.

Crying and smiling
Reviewed: 08-10-21
This book is absolutely fantastic! It had me giggling the entire time with little patches of crying from how beautiful the love is between Ove and his wife. I was full on sobbing (really ugly crying) the last 45 minutes of the book but not because it broke my heart, it really all ended so beautifully. I then texted everyone I know to read this book immediately! I can’t give it enough praise it really put life into perspective when work and life can get you down and stressed. I don’t typically read books twice but I enjoyed this so much I’ll likely listen again. Highly recommend!

Visiting her family's South Carolina estate, socialite Gray Godfrey wakes from a night out to an empty bed. Her husband, Paul, is gone, and a thrashing hangover has wiped her memory clean. At first, she's relieved for the break from her tumultuous marriage; perhaps Paul just needed some space. But when his car is found abandoned on the highway, Gray must face the truth: Paul is gone. And Gray may not want him found. Her life is unraveling. When a stranger named Annie calls claiming to know Paul's whereabouts, Gray reluctantly accepts her help.

That was one of the better books I’ve read in a long time! Loved the narration and the plot twist. This book made me feel a lot of different things all at once and had me thinking about it long after I finished. Highly recommend.

ALOT about the Holocaust
Reviewed: 01-19-20
By the description i thought this book would be a murder mystery or thriller it was basically a holocaust memoir but it was well written, a bit long winded at times but great ending! I would have been more impressed if this was what I was anticipating to read instead of being surprised with a really sad book. So you’ve been warned.
