Ashes of the Unspeakable: Book Two in the Borrowed World Series (ADULT AUDIO)

Jim and his friends are still trying to get home, the women that chose the FEMA camp are now understanding what Jim was talking about and wish they had gone with him.  Jim's family are also realizing Jim's views were not so far off and are toughening up, but do they actually see the real danger before their eyes, will Jim make it home in time to help them?
This book is so suspenseful and action packed you can't help but become entranced.  I had the audio and with the awesome narrator Kevin Pierce saying the ongoing mantra of  "I've got to get home" throughout the book, so what is not to love.  Mr. Pierce does a great job voicing all of the characters, but with Jim all I picture is a teddy bear of a man that will do anything for his friends, but will also do anything to get home to his family, so you better not stand in his way.  This was such a wonderful listen I can't wait to hear what happens next to Jim, his family and the gang.

Ren: The Monster's Adventure (ADULT AUDIO)

Ren Lewis on vacation, now that is just funny, Ren doesn't do vacations, and what is worse is since not all of the family can dream travel it is a car travel trip, and that is all I will say about that.  You need to read this book for yourself or if you are like me get the audio version and have narrator Tim Campbell read it to you, he is the perfect Ren Lewis, and this is the perfect book to get you started in on your holiday spirit. 
Sarah Noffke and Tim Campbell have teamed up again for a awesome audiobook, but I am sure if  you just want to read the book for yourself you will still love Ms. Noffke's book and out snarky, tell it like it is friend Ren.

Seabound (ADULT AUDIO)

In an apocalypse that takes over the land people now live on boats.  Ester  and her friends live o the Catalina, but after 16 years things start to break, one of those thing is the desalination system, and on Esters watch.  But when they meet up with the Galaxy flotilla a flotilla of Galaxy cruise ships and many other ships that  have joined up with them or they have found and taken, trading does not go as planned.
This is a wonderful, action packed, suspenseful book.  The characters are great, I had the audio, narrated by Ray Greenley and he gave each character a different voice which helped me to fall in love with the characters and the story.  Mr. Greenley really made this story for me, he gave this story a pulse and it grew from there.  This book (author) and the narrator just go together so well  I hope to get to some day listen to book two and beyond of this series.  Because I can't wait to find out what happens to Ester and her friends and of course the Catalina.

To Burp or Not to Burp: A Guide to Your Body in Space (MG)

This is a wonderful book that answers a ton of questions many kids might have about living in space.  Written for children ages seven to ten and in age appropriate language many questions are answered like things about clothes washing and showers in space to burping, and I will say it is not a good idea to do it but you will have to read the book to find out why.

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.

Locker Nine (AUDIO ADULT)

Grace Hardwick's college life has changed when her school and other parts of the US are attacked.  She gets a call through to her dad, Robert, who writes books about the apocalypse and prepping, he reminds her to use the key he gave her, Grace is confused but he just says use the key before being cut off.  Once she follows the coordinates on the key and finds a fully stocked storage locker, locker number nine, of everything she will need to get home.  This is the story of that trek home.
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.

Defects: The Reverians Book 1 (AUDIO YA)

Em lives in the perfect place for dream travelers, except she is one of a new generation where it seems some are not being blessed with their psychic gifts, they are considered defects.  But when Em finds out the shocking truth behind why she hasn't received her gift, she is torn with how to fix this for all the other defects before it is to late and  hurting those she loves.
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.
