FTC: I received a free copy of this book from Audiobookworm in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and the opinions expressed in this review are one hundred percent true and my own.

Halfway Bitten by Terry Maggert was a fantastic book in this series. I loved that these books are just short enough to listen to them in a day or two while I am working but not so short that you miss out on the story. Once again, I loved that this narrator’s voice seems like she is Carlie. Her voice fits so well with the character that my mind almost thinks they are the same person. This genre of books isn’t one that I usually listen to, but after this series, I will change that for sure. Once again, I also enjoyed the author of this book, and I am super excited to listen to the next book because I want to know what crazy thing will happen next. I have also decided that I wished things like this happened because it would make things even more exciting and exciting. This is the second book in the series, and if for some reason you are only interested in one of the books, you can just listen to that one, but I would recommend the entire series because I have fallen in love.

Halfway Dead by Terry Maggert

May 22, 2021

FTC: I received a free copy of this book from Audiobookworm in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and the opinions expressed in this review are one hundred percent true and my own.

Halfway Dead by Terry Maggert was a fantastic book. This is a genre that I usually read, but I enjoyed this book. This is the first book in the Halfway Witchy series, and I can’t wait to listen to the other two books in this series. I also loved the narrator of this book as well. I think her voice was a perfect match for Carlie. Because I don’t usually listen to books in this genre, I found that I was more interested because I had no idea where the story would go. I also really enjoyed this author’s writing. Once I am done with this series, I will probably pick up other books by this author. I loved that Carlie was a strong single woman because we need more characters like this. When you have a strong character like Carlie, it shows young women that you can do anything you want to do. I think that young adults would enjoy this book, and there isn’t anything in it that would be inappropriate for teenagers to listen to. If you are looking for something fun to listen to this summer, I would pick up a copy of this book and give it a listen.

When a blond stranger sits at the diner counter and asks her to lead him into the deepest shadows of the forest, her life will change forever. She must find a mythical grove of ancient trees, but there are ghosts in the forest, and one of them cries out to Carlie across the years: Come find me.

With the help of a rugged cop who really does want to save the world, she’ll fight to bring a ghost home, and deliver justice to a murderer who hides in the cool, mysterious green of a forest gone mad with magic.

Emergence by Shira Shiloah

May 10, 2021

FTC: I received a free copy of this book from Audiobookworm in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and the opinions expressed in this review are one hundred percent true and my own.

Emergence by Shira Shiloah was a fascinating read. I loved that the things that happened in this book could happen. I am sure these exact things have happened. I loved that this book could have happened; it makes me want to read it even more. Also, I fell in love with the narrator of this book. She made all of the characters sound so different that I didn’t have an issue keeping the characters separate. This is the first time that I have listened to an audiobook where the narrator could make so many different voices with different accents. This is the first book I have read by this author, and I also fell in love with her. The author did an excellent job of making the book come to life as I was listening. I enjoyed the characters in this book because they were all so complex that they seemed real-life people. I didn’t find that this book was super suspenseful, but it did have enough that I kept listening. This book makes me not want to have surgery ever because you never know what the doctors do or don’t do when they are operating on you. I made love about this book because the medical parts of this book were true to what happens, and I loved that. Because the author is a doctor, she knows how everything works and that came through as I was reading the book. If you love medical thrillers with a small dose of romance thrown in, I would pick this one up and give it a listen.

About The Book

Author: Shira Shiloah

Narrator: Simone McIntyre

Length: 6 hours 12 minutes

Publisher: Shira Shiloah⎮2021

Genre: Medical Thriller

Release date: Mar. 12, 2021

A Scalpel Wielding Villain.

A Healthcare System that Fails.

A Whistleblower that Protects Her Patients – No Matter the Costs.

A trusted anesthesiologist, Dr. Roxanne Roth, is healing from the loss of her fiancé by consuming her time with work. It doesn’t hurt that her new love interest, Dr. Justin Kirkland, spends almost as much time at the hospital as she does.

Entranced in the throes and complications of new love, Roxanne looks forward to work every day. Her time at the hospital would almost be cathartic if not for Dr. D. K. Webb, a neurosurgeon, who is quickly amassing a pile of complaints – and bodies.

Despite trying to avoid Webb, Roxanne finds herself working alongside the doctor during a routine, low-risk surgery. Fueled by cocaine and ego, Webb intentionally sabotages the case, leading to the patient dying on the operating table.

Roxanne’s tenuous grip on recovery is shattered with her patient’s death, quickly replaced by anger and a drive for justice. Now Roxanne will do anything to protect her patients from the killer on the other side of the sterile surgical field – before he can silence her as well.

In this gripping, sinister medical thriller, Dr. Shira Shiloah will leave listeners wondering about the potential evil lurking behind every surgical mask.

The Exit Strategy by Lainey Cameron

April 5, 2021

FTC: I received a free copy of this book from Audiobookworm in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and the opinions expressed in this review are one hundred percent true and my own.

The Exit Strategy by Lainey Cameron was an okay book. This book bothered me because I hate men when they act when they are caught. I felt bad for the characters because of Ryn’s husband and how he acted. The author did a great job of making the characters come to life to me. She did such a good job that I spent most of the book frustrated at all of the characters. I also really enjoyed the narrator of this book. She did a great job of making the characters come to life and sound different enough that I didn’t get confused about which character was talking. I became more and more stressed as I was listening because I got so caught up in what the jerk had done. I would for sure check out other books by this author in the future because she did a great job of making the book come to life to me. If you are looking for a different type of book to read, I would pick up a copy of this one.

About The Book

Author: Lainey Cameron

Narrator: Susan Marlowe

Publisher: Lainey Cameron⎮2021

Genre: Women’s Fiction

Release date: January 23, 2021

Winner of 2020 Readers’ Favorite Award for women’s fiction.

“A provocative, edgy page-turner. With whip-sharp prose, the characters are ingeniously crafted.” (Wall Street Journal best-selling author Kerry Lonsdale)

Tech executive Carly can’t wait to marry the man of her dreams. But her world is turned upside down when she discovers her fiancé is already wed to Ryn — her company’s top investor! Can the two women overcome heartbreak together?

Silicon Valley investor Ryn Brennan is on the verge of achieving everything she dreamed. She’s succeeded in the sexist venture capital world, has a supportive husband, and is about to close the deal of her career. Everything is going exactly as planned, until she meets her husband’s mistress, across the negotiating table.

Carly clawed her way back from being a teenage runaway to become an accomplished scientist, caring single mom, and co-founder of her startup. Once she marries her loving fiancé, she’ll secure the complete family she craves. But she’s blindsided to discover her not so perfect fiancé is already married.

In an industry full of not-so-subtle sexism, can the two women rise above, and work together to overcome heartbreak, and ensure their success?

Fractured Love by Callie Bardot

March 27, 2021

FTC: I received a free copy of this book from Audiobookworm in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and the opinions expressed in this review are one hundred percent true and my own.

Fractured Love by Callie Bardot was an excellent wrap-up for this series. I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about this book, but in the end, I loved this book just as much as I did the second book. If you want to read my reviews of the other four books in this series, you can clickhere, here, here, and here. This is the final book in the Adrenaline series, and I am sad to say goodbye to these characters. The one thing that I didn’t enjoy about this book was the voice the narrator used for Jamal. His voice just got my nerves, and it isn’t one that I got used to even after listening to the entire audiobook. By the end of the book, I only listen to it because I had to know how it all ended. Other than Jamal’s voice, I enjoyed this narrator, and I would listen to other books by him. I did feel bad for Heat because of his childhood and how his parents made him feel. I felt terrible that Heat was scared to be who he was supposed to be. I did love getting to know these characters, but I am sad to say goodbye to them. I loved that this author included part of the LGBT community because it made the series come to life for me. If you are looking for a great series of books, I would recommend you pick up this series and give it a listen.

About The Book

Narrator: Jonathan Tratar

Length: 7 hours 57 minutes

Publisher: Callie Bardot⎮2020

Genre: Romance

Series: Adrenaline, Book 5

Release date: Dec. 16, 2020

From the Amazon best-selling Adrenaline series, comes the final book in this rock and roll suspense adventure.

Rock star Trevor “Heat” West has a burning secret. His former best friend – the guy he’s still in love with – thinks he’s gay. Given Heat’s upbringing at a military academy with his dad as the dean, it’s a secret he simply can’t afford to accept. He’d just as soon drink battery acid for breakfast.

But then he meets Jamal, a statuesque guy who plays the piano like nobody else and sings like a hot fantasy.

Heat despises Jamal. Jamal reminds him of everything he’d like to forget and wounds too painful to face. But his attraction to the keyboardist proves too compelling to resist.

As they go on tour together, all of Heat’s inner walls begin to crumble. Then he finds Jamal carries secrets greater than his own. And, as his heart begins to give way to self-acceptance, he learns Jamal’s secrets might cost him his life.

A M/M romance novel.

About The Narrator

Making funny voices has always been something I have done, to an almost compulsive level. I would emulate cartoon characters, parents, teachers, politicians, ect. Then focus shifted to martial arts, rock climbing, just other passions and whatnot. In all honesty I feel as though I was lost for a few years. No direction. I then got into the modeling and acting industry. Almost three years as a model/actor, of middling success, before I decided to have a go at being an agent. This move went very very well. Two years later, unfulfilled, I quit my job, bought a mic, and haven’t looked back since.

The Key To Love by Callie Bardot

March 20, 2021

FTC: I received a free copy of this book from Audiobookworm in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and the opinions expressed in this review are one hundred percent true and my own.

The Key To Love by Callie Bardot was a great book. This is the 4th book in the Adrenaline series, and I like this book more than the third book. I loved that we got to get to know Keys. I also loved Mia and felt terrible for everything that she and Keys went through. I almost wish that this book had been the third. I think that would have made the third book make more sense when I was reading that book. You don’t have to read them all in order, but I would recommend that because if you don’t read them in order, then you will ruin the other books. I enjoyed the narrator of this book. He did a great job of making the characters all sound different, so I didn’t get lost as I was listening. There were several adult scenes in this book. They didn’t bother me, but I know some people wouldn’t enjoy them, so I wanted to let you know they are in there. I enjoyed the author’s writing, and I can’t wait to listen to the final book in this series. If you love rock star romance books, you will enjoy this book as much as I did.

I have reviewed the other books in this series. If you are interested in seeing those reviews, you can here(3rd book, here(3rd book, and here(3rd book) to check out those reviews.
