Retribution: A Whitney Steel Novel Book 2 (AUDIO ADULT)

Whitney has been kidnapped and Blake is on the trail, but Blake has his own problems, there is a bounty on his head.  If Blake is to get Whitney back he must travel to Columbia's biggest drug trafficker, Pablo Sanchez.
This is another wonderful, kick butt book by Kim Creswell.  I love Whitney Steel, she is one tough lady, I want to be her when I grow up.  The action and suspense in this sequel to Reflections is so intense you can't stop reading/listening you just have to find out what happens.  Rebecca Hansen does a great job making this story her own.  I love this series and this book but it is a adult book for sure.

This is a exciting, action packed, suspense filled book.  I really enjoyed it and think it would be really cool to have a dad like Grace's.  You also get some glimpses into Grace's childhood which is really insightful and awesome.  I had the audio version narrated by Kevin Pierce who did such a awesome job on this book I can't wait for more.  Mr. Pierce really ahs a way with bringing these characters to life and giving you someone to root for in these tough times.

This book is filled with a ton of action and suspense, you might just fall off of your seat while rooting for Em, Rogue and all of their friends.  These characters are all so strong and smart you will wish they were your friends, they are that awesome and their bonds are so strong.  I had the audio narrated by the wonderful Elizabeth Klett, she did such a great job, I totally lost myself in this book and found myself wanting to help and cheering Em and Rogue on myself.  She just made this book so awesome for me, what a wonderful author narrator team I hope they stay together for a long time.

Iron Man: The Gauntlet (MG)

Tony Stark is known as many things but mostly Iron Man, protector, and avenger.  But when he is kidnapped  and the enemy wants to use his suit to kill innocent people, Tony must survive his own assassination and save the eco-ministers before it is to late, but can he win against Iron Man?
This book shows Tony Stark from child to him as a adult still inventing, still trying to the right thing.  There is enough action in this book to keep anyone's attention through the whole book, because there is so much of it.  There are so many twists and turns you will think  you are on a roller coaster.  Watch out for the AI it may or may not be what it seems.  This is a awesome book for all the Iron Man fans as well as the Eoin Colfer and Marvel fans.

The Horror Squad (ADULT AUDIO)

The world has changed but there is one group just trying to survive.  As part of the group lives in the power plant/school area and keeps it up and running, the other part has to go out frequently and scavenge for food and other supplies that might help during this apocalypse.  It is during one of these trips that things go very wrong.
This was a exciting, action filled, suspenseful, story of survival.  I totally enjoyed listening to S.W. Salzman narrating this book, he does such a awesome job with all the different characters and expressing their emotions in his voice, it was amazing.  I can't wait for more to hear what happens to T.J. and the crew.

Vigilance

This book follows Abe Haws, son of war hero Isaac Haws, from the academy to Vitaly Three.  The reader gets to see how the man was made and why he did the things he did.  I understand that that was very vague but I am afraid much more might spoil it and it is way to good for me to do that to anyone.
This is a great sci-fi book and no you don't need to have any knowledge of Nick Webb's Legacy Fleet to understand this book but you might find yourself really wanting to read it after you read this, just a warning.  If you are familiar with Legacy Fleet this should fill in some blanks for you, so no harm either way.  This is just another awesome book by the Swardstrom brothers that you just do not want to miss.

Transiet Echoes: The Variant Saga Book 2 (AUDIO)

It has been three years since the second big jolt and Terry is lost on a distant world far away from his friends and family, but he has the voice of his sister in his head to keep him company.  Back on earth Mei is work to death to figure out a way to see if they can bring Terry home.
This is a wonderful sequel to the Amber Project, it is filled with a ton of action and the suspense will have you falling off of your seat.  Narrator Steve Barnes does a great job again with the book his use of different voices for each character is awesome, he really hit this one out of the park.  I can't wait for the next part from these two guys and find out what happens to Terry and his friends.
