Review from Mastering the Flames →
What an awesome story. I enjoyed learning from Isaac’s perspective and how intense it must be to be the brother of Angel. Isaac’s tale is full of trauma, drama, circumstances beyond one’s control, and making bad choices. Himes’ provided insight into the dynamic of the Salvatore’s as well as the City Master. There bond and..
Review from Within the Mind →
satisfied with the ending for the bad guy just wish the final battle was a little more fleshed out.
I’m a big fan of The Bureau books, this one is a bit of a prequel to the series and as an aside, gives a glimpse into who Herbert Townsend (head of the Bureau of Trans-Species Affairs) is, but it doesn’t need to be listened to first. In typical Bureau fashion, this book asks “who..
Review from Pickpocket’s Apprentice →
Another great performance by Joel Leslie! I loved this historical novella set in the late 1700’s and early 1800’s. No real romance or mystery here, but rather this well-written tale gives us the beginnings of a future Bow Street Runner. My rec? If you like historicals, you can’t miss!
Review from Goodnight Beautiful →
A reasonably successful effort at getting inside each character’s head by having them narrate in their own voice, as in The Girl On The Train by Paula Hawkins or Faulkner’s As I Lay Dying. There is little mystery as well as character transformation that is never fully explained but a reliable thriller with a well..
The accents weren’t what I was expecting! Carter had kind of a brash American accent while Siel and Pykh had… Scottish ones, I think?

Review from Red Dirt Heart 3 →
Apparently N.R. Walker has made a bet with herself on how much she can up the ante when it comes to dealing pain and giving all the feels. That email narrated so dramatically perfect by Joel Leslie had me clutching my heart and in tears. And after that ending I can’t wait to start the..
Review from Snow Falling →
This held my interest even though the story was rather meh. The narrators made me enjoy it. Joel Leslie is one of my favorites.
Review from Goodnight Beautiful →
This book is Misery with an altered ending. It is an okay book but it’s so unoriginal it’s almost boring. If there was ever a copyright infringement case to be won… this book is it.
Review from Fake It ‘Til You Make Out →
This was funny, cute, sexy ?? and just what I needed to read (listen to) in these caray times! Fake boyfriend & bi-awakening: two if my favorite tropes! Is the premise under which the guys come together believable? No, but who cares? This was so much fun to read! Read the blurb, read the review..
