Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard, Narrated by Amanda Dolan

Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The audiobook of this was wonderful. Narrated by Amanda Dolan, I fell into this story easily. Her voices consistent, I cannot imagine anyone else narrating these books.

This story seems familiar, and like the somewhat typical story of an undesirable rising to power by luck and chance, but it is more. I felt like I’d heard this story many times, but since I enjoy it, I didn’t mind. Then suddenly after I’d listened to about 80% of the book, something changed.

I’ve read reviews where people gave up reading this book 40%, 50%, 60% into the story, because they were bored. Don’t be them. Wait for it…

Black Fall by D.J Bodden

Black Fall by D.J. Bodden
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I absolutely love this book! There is nothing old and stale about this vampire story. I didn’t want it to end, and find myself wondering about the characters and what they might want to do next.

The writing is excellent, and it is obvious Mr. Bodden has a talent for detailed descriptions that do not bore, but add much more to the story. Something that stood out to me is the amazing writing of the fight scenes. They are so awesome that I could actually see the fights in my mind as I read. I am quite impressed; it’s difficult to write fight scenes that don’t become either confusing or boring.

Finally, I want to take a moment to mention how I appreciate Mr. Bodden’s use of the supernatural in this book. I won’t spoil it for you, but I will say that this is so much more than a vampire book. So. Much. More.
