Trackers Book 1 (ADULT AUDIO)



When a girl goes missing in Estes Park, police chief Colton brings in Raven and his dog Creek to help out.  During that search things go bad, planes go down, radios go out, cars stop working, and Colton and Raven realize the killer is a crazy freak.  Meanwhile, the nation’s capital is dark and in chaos, than things go from bad to worse.
This is not your typical Nicolas Sansbury Smith horror book, this one borders on nonfiction and makes that makes it all that much scarier.  However, I love the Native American lore, and the working dog aspect, keep with that and we will be friends forever.  This was an amazing, action packed, suspenseful, thriller, I loved every bit of this roller coaster ride that Mr. Sansbury Smith took me on, and I had the audio version narrated by Bronson Pinchot who did a great job with the book overall, there was a character or two that could have been toned down a bit, but they had small parts and one I came to understand.  But I still think the audio was awesome and I can’t wait for him to come out with Trackers 2.

Released A Tale Of Treachery: Vagabond Circus Book 3 (ADULT AUDIO)

When a threat is so overwhelming that the magic is almost gone right out of Vagabond Circus the family must bond together to either live or die together.  Jack is relentless in his journey and Sunshine rains on his parade often, but it's Jack that will take the brunt of this to his soul if the plan works.  Some people change others do not, and secrets are revealed in Released.  However, there is still a lot of action, a ton of suspense, and a roller coaster of twists and turns to navigate, but author Sarah Noffke is a pro at this acrobatic world as she did spend time with a real circus.
Narrator Steve Barnes is a pro at bringing the circus world alive to his listeners.  He really makes you feel as though you are a part of the story as well, right there working at Vagabond Circus, helping Finley and Zuma with their plan.  So if you get a chance, give the audiobook a go, it won't disappoint.

These are three wonderful short stories by author J N Chaney.
Feral - is about a tribe in Africa that has transfiguration abilities, only when they are young they can not control the ability to well and if they can into, say a predatory animal, well that is not so good for the other normal tribes around them.  So how do the elders deal with it? Read the story and find out.
The Other Side of Nowhere - is about a patient in a hospital struggling to stay alive, and his life flashes before his eyes, but there is a side door.  Is it a dream or a nightmare?  Read the story and find out.
Lastly my favorite story is Jonah - it is about a doctor that is brought in to psychoanalyze the first living machine, Jonah.  But what happens when the makers want to put a end to this gentle, genius, awesome, caring AI?  Well a doctors first duty is to do no harm, but how can he do his job with a computer?  Read the story and find out, you won't be disappointed.  All of these stories are awesome I hope you love them as much as I do, they all have action, suspense, and some twists and turns to them, that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Audiobook narrator Raina Marie tells these stories well although listen carefully for the story breaks or you might be a bit confused for a few seconds as she tends to very quickly.

BANG (YA)



Ten years ago Sebastian did something he can’t forgive himself for, it was so horrible that while his only friend is away for the summer Sebastian plans on letting his dark side take over and take away his pain forever.  But then enters a girl, Aneesa, what does that do to his summer plans?
Bang is a wonderful book, it gives you a glimpse into the mind of a person in constant pain, a person that cannot find a way to ease this awful pain in anyway.  This book is about Sebastian a fictional character with a fictional pain, however this could easily be about any number of real people with real pain just look at projectsemicolon.org.  I don’t want to give anything away but this is an awesome book by author Barry Lyga and well worth the read, it brings real world headlines into a fictional storyline in a seamless way.

It's A Bad Bad Bad Bad World (ADULT AUDIO)

Pawn store guy, junkies, assassin nun, crooked cop, serial killer porn couple, occult weirdo, a Rhodesian, and more.  All willing to kill each other and more to get these two swords that may or may not be the fountain of youth.  My favorite is the assassin nun, Sister Michelle, you got to love Kevlar vestments.  But there are no good guys in this book they are all bad it is just which is not as bad as the rest. 
This book is definitely filled with a ton of action and suspense.  Every time you think you have this story figured out the author calls squirrel and takes you off on a different and wonderful direction, it really keeps you on your toes.  All of his character are well put together and you will find something to like even in the ones you don't like.
Audiobook narrator Fred Wolinsky takes this book and makes each and every character different and unique.  He gives them different voices and different attitudes, Mr. Wolinsky makes you feel as if you are there in the story either helping your favorite character and hindering his enemies, but you are there with them in the story, seeing, hearing, feeling, everything and that makes for a awesome performance.
