Full Bloom by Janet Evanovich and Charlette Hughes

Vic February 27th, 2008

Full Bloom is the fifth book in Janet Evanovich and Charlotte Hughes's "Full" series and is narrated by Lorelei King.fullbloom.jpg

This steamy romantic mystery takes place in Beaumont, South Carolina and is centered around Annie Fortenberry, who just inherited her grandmother's B&B and a handsome Harley-riding visitor.

Just as things are really heating up a body is discovered in Annie's garden that turns out to be her philandering husband and all the evidence points to Annie as the killer.

Now it's up to Annie to find the real killer, and get back to where she was in the arms of her loving biker.

It's a fun book to listen to and you may be surprised by the ending.

Review of Lisey’s Story by Author Stephen King…Read by Mare Winningham

Mystery & Suspense
Unabridged
19 hrs.

 

Two years into widowhood, Lisa “Lisey” Landon believes she’s getting on with her life. But her sister’s psychotic episode forces Lisa to confront her own past and present in a new way. Mare Winningham sounds convincing in Lisey’s first-person narration, conveying longing, sadness, and anger in varying tones of subtlety and force. She shades her voice slightly to portray Lisey’s sisters and late husband, maintaining distinct characterizations for all. For the secondary characters, Winningham attempts both Maine and Pittsburgh accents, neither of which portrays its proper region. Given her choice not to use regionalisms for the protagonists from these areas, one wishes she had remained consistent with their relatives. R.L.L. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine

A Review of Emma McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus’ Audio Book “DEDICATION”

Vic November 14th, 2007

DEDICATION
Emma McLaughlin, Nicola Kraus
Read by Ashley West

Kate Hollis, now a grown woman, has waited for years for the love of her life, Jake Sharpe, now a rock-and-roll legend, to return home, so she can finally tell him off. Jake has had hit after hit, singing about his former relationship with Kate, something she can't escape or get over. Ashley West is energetic in this fast-paced, funny coming-of-age story of first love, true friendship, and the pain of growing up. West captures each of the characters as they grow from giggling teenager to 30-something adult. She seamlessly moves the story back and forth in time as the present is revealed through the lessons of the past. A.C.P. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine

Five Star A brilliant SF series
Quite simply, Eathsearch is the greatest audio SF series ever made and overall one of the greatest SF series in total. Both the scripts and acting are of an unbelievably high standard, the pace and excitement (pure menace in some areas) is spine chilling. I would recommend this to all SF and non SF listeners.

I was a bit reluctent at first to buy Earthsearch as usually I don’t listen to older recordings of radio shows because of the sound quality. However Earthsearch had me open-mouthed as it was such an enthrawling story from the first episode to the last! I just couldn’t get it on to cd fast enough and even sat up late listening to it. Each episode has surprises in store and will keep you on the edge of your seat wondering what will happen next. It is full of mystery intreeg and deception at every turn. Expect the unexpected. The casting was stunning and the performance spectacular from start to finish. There’s a lot of scares in it, won’t give too much away but the end of each episode always had me jumping out of my skin because of the music. It’s a must have trust me, it’s a classic adventure, you won’t regrette buying it. All you fans of Science fiction get it now!! It more than deserves it’s 5 star rating
March 2007 Lori Duncan from Dundee
Five Star Earthsearch
I resisted buying this as $30.00 for a download is kind of high, but I am very glad that I did! The sound quility is perfect and it is a great listen! If you like Sci-Fi Radio I would highly recomend this!
