Review: Phoenix Awakens
Phoenix Awakens by Eliza Nolan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This story was basic, and simple. The perfect combination for a teen romance. The vernacular is definitely current teen, made apparent by the use of “anyways” and “you don’t even know”. Although slightly annoying to me, it’s fine for the audience this is most likely written for. The over arching storyline is quite interesting, and I will be happy to read the next installment when it’s released. The narrator was very good with different characters, and had a nice voice acting quality to her. No dull reading of the text. This is certainly worth the listen!
Disclosure: I was gifted this audiobook in return for an honest review.

This is the type of book that I don’t feel the need to “review”. So many others have, both short and long reviews, that my thoughts have already been covered. Good stuff.

Review: The Butterfly Garden
The Butterfly Garden by Dot Hutchison
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is not the type of book I would normally read. I almost stopped a few times because it was horrifying to me. It was a good story though, obviously, I gave it 5 stars. It just challenged me in a very personal way. I would definitely read another book by Dot Hutchison!

Review: Crimson Death
Crimson Death by Laurell K. Hamilton
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Too much sex. No… too much of the same stuff from the last 15 books. Each time the sex started I was able to easily skim over it all until it was over. That saved me from suffering through 1/3 of the book. The actual story, the parts where Anita just does her job as a Marshal/Necromancer/Vampire Queen, etc., is better in this book. Still not the same quality as the first books, but interesting still.
I won’t spend money next time around. I’ll wait for a library copy. Also, someone show Ms. Hamilton how to use a thesaurus.

Review: The Life We Bury
The Life We Bury by Allen Eskens
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I only read this book because it was given to me in a book exchange. I used one of my audible credits so I could listen as I read. Before the first chapter was over the Narrator had me thoroughly engrossed. He was so amazing, and the story was so interesting that I listened nonstop and finished it in one day.
The story is more than one type of story. It’s more than the story of Mr Iverson. It’s a story about perception. Perception of ourselves and each other, and the assumptions we make.
It’s a terrific book, excellent writing, and spot on narration. Read it, better still, listen to it.
