Judah is determined to pass his wishgranter's exam and join Alifair's Repo Agency—premier repossessors of broken, malfunctioning and... Continue Reading →
Review: The Girl Who Could Move Shit with Her Mind by Jackson Ford
This is one of those books that I couldn't resist based on the title alone. The cover is great too! I thought to myself that such an interesting sounding book would be amazing in audio. So, this review is based on a review copy of the audiobook. Thanks to Orbit for that! For Teagan Frost,... Continue Reading →
Review: Off Leash by Daniel Potter
I've been meaning to read this book since it was in the SPFBO. No, not this year's... not the one before that. No... the one before the one before this one. ^_^ The fact that this one had an audiobook edition made it so much easier to finally get to it. Thanks audiobooks! When Thomas... Continue Reading →
Review: The Master of Dreams by Mike Resnick
Alright, I will admit that the cover is the thing that sucked me in on this one. I just can't resist a Dan dos Santos cover. 😀 Thanks to the author as well as Berkley via NetGalley for the review copy. Eddie Raven isn't quite sure what's happening to him--and he's in a race to... Continue Reading →
Review: Fate Lashed by Josh Erikson
I really, really liked Hero Forged, and so when Fate Lashed was released I was super excited to get to it, but since I loved the narration of book one, I decided that I would very, very patiently wait for the audio to be ready. Thanks to the author for the review copy of this... Continue Reading →
Review: The Last Sun by K.D. Edwards

Some will be chosen. The rest must undergo a procedure to destroy their magical ability unless they prove themselves in the mysterious and brutal Mages' Exam.... Continue Reading →
Review: Wild Country by Anne Bishop
Ahhhh The Others. I can't give up on them. I even admittedly did not really like the last volume of the series that I read, and yet still, this showed up on NetGalley and I pressed that request button with no second thoughts about it. Here's hoping for the best, right? 😀 Thanks to the... Continue Reading →
SPFBO Review: Sworn to the Night by Craig Schaefer
Moving right along with my finalist reviews! This one I decided to wait on an audible credit for, as I've found a lot more time for audiobooks lately than print books. Marie Reinhart is an NYPD detective on the trail of a serial killer. When she sleeps, though, she dreams of other lives; she dreams... Continue Reading →
Review: Hero Forged by Josh Erikson
Finally getting around to that audible library of stuff that I really want to listen to! 😀 This one comes very highly recommended by people that I have found have similar tastes to my own, and so off we go! Gabe thought he had covered all the angles, but it’s tough to plan a contingency... Continue Reading →
