Greenfire: A LitRPG Series: Sky Realms Online, Book 4 (ADULT AUDIO)

Just as Hall and his group are settling in to their new life, the rules change and now they must figure out what that means to them as they move forward.  Now that things have settled Hall is tasked with moving his town along in that journey.  They are just far away to make most things hard so Hall decides to see what he can do.  He looks into adding a post office, and maybe even joining the cartographers guild (it seems he is needed more than he needs them) but still negotiating for the things the town needs come first and foremost.
This installment of the Sky Realms series is one of change, that is to not to say that there  aren't loads of action and suspense because there is especially when he meets a demon, and there are new friends to met and of course quests galore, so take a trip with me into the lands of Sky Realm and see where you fit in.  Of course if you want the full immersion feeling of being there and a part of the group than try the audio narrated by the wonderful voice of Pavi Proczko you won't be disappointed.

Soul Riders: Jorvik Calling (Volume 1) (MG AUDIO)

 

This is a book of the four riders chosen by destiny to face a demon and try and defeat him and his group of riders.  Lisa has just moved to Jorvik and despite all her friends being horse crazy she is not to sure.  Lisa is still coming to terms with her mothers death in a riding accident.  But when one special horse takes to her, her destiny is sealed along with three of her friends.

This is a really good book based on a game named Star Stables.  It follows Lisa the last of the four girls to discover her horse and ability.  If you are a horse lover or just a animal lover you will love this story.  It will keep you up past your bedtime with its action and suspense.  For a real treat try the audio narrated by Jennifer Jill Araya you will fall in love with Starshine and the others as I did.

The Sword: The Project Book 19 (ADULT AUDIO)

Nick and the team are back in action after some idiots threaten his and Selena's twins.  The Job looked like a straight forward easy money maker for the team, Selena translating some old papers about a sword but once she is done this powerful Japanese guy hires the team to find the sword mentioned in the papers.  Easy right?  Not for this team there are always unknown obstacles to hurdle.

This is a wonderful addition to the Project series and stands up to the high standards brought about by the other books in the series.  It is action packed and full of suspense like the other books but I love the different history brought in by each book.  If you are so lucky to have gotten the audios narrated by the wonderful voice of Jack de Golia than you too will feel like you are there along with the team and helping them.  This team has become family and I so love hearing of their  exploited like you would after seeing a cousin and catching up after a year or so.

Traitor (YA)

This story takes place during the Soviet liberation of a town in Poland that had just been in German hands.  The story of a boy half polish half Ukraine, a mix that is the most undesired at his point.  But Tolya does what he must to stay safe and feed.  Until the day comes that changes everything and sends Toyla on the run, not sure who he can trust if anyone.
This is a powerful book about a place you don't hear much about when World War II is talked about.  The children left behind when parents are imprisoned or killed.  Most of the children are smart enough to know who they can trust but some have no one and must do what they can to survive.  The history in this book is awesome and the characters are perfect, this is a book you will not want to miss, non stop action and suspense that will have you holding on to your chair, so be careful.  I hope the author does more books like this as it was such a good book and I hope you all will like it as much as I do.

Kind of a Big Deal (YA)

When her money comes to a end Josie has to put her dream of being on Broadway on hold and take a nanny job.  She has a hard time with not being on Broadway after everyone told her she was so good in High School, so good in fact she left high school early to go to a call and never went back because she was so embarrassed she didn't get the part or any part.  When her job takes her to Missoula she doesn't know what to do.  when she takes Mia, the girl she nanny's for, to the playground she passes a book store on the way and gets a book and reading glasses.  When she starts reading the book she finds herself literally in the book.
This is a cute book with twists and action, not to mention a talking teddy bear.  The plot is new and refreshing among young adult books.  The characters are the best really, who doesn't like Josie Pie and the books she jumps into are great, I hope everyone will like this as much as I do.

Geeger the Robot Goes to School (EARLY READER)

Geeger's job is to eat.  Eat, eat, eat, he is to eat all kinds of trash and recycle it into energy for the town.  But Geeger is board and decides to go to school.  There he finds out quickly there are things at school that look like the trash he is suppose to eat but can not as they are needed for learning.
This was such a cute book and what kid doesn't like robots especially robots that need to learn things they already know.  I really liked this book and all it teaches (of course in a way a child doesn't realize).  I like this book and I hope  you all do as well.

Through My Eyes: CSI Memoirs That Haunt the Soul (ADULT AUDIO)

 

 This is a book not for the faint at heart, it is a true accounting of what one CSI has seen in her years doing the job and can be graphic but honest.  Not to mention the trauma that is left behind after years of this job.  If you have ever thought of becoming a CSI you should read this book and see what it is really like than think long and hard because it is nothing like a TV show. 
This job is something you are called to do, like any type of police work from officers, to homicide, to CSI, to the dispatcher that usually deals with the reporting party first, all experience trauma and shock during their days doing this job may follow them the rest of their lives.  It is no secret our family in blue is in a crisis right now and hopefully this helps non LEO's to understand a bit more of what is endured.  I hope that this book helped the author heal in some way by telling her story I now the narrator, Tia Johnson was awesome in the audio book.  This is one not to be missed if  you are the kind of person this book calls too.
