This week . . .
Guild Codex Universe by Annette Marie
#19 - The Unbreakable Bladesong Druid (GCU: Unveiled #4) - 4.5
KU, read this one. End of the Saber/Zack arc. Supposed to be more coming from the Warped arc and I'd really like a full Darius story but haven't seen any mention of that happening. I have a feeling the next Warped book will tell us what's going on with Kit and Darius during the events of this book. 19 books in and I still think this is one of the best things on KU.
Romantic Suspense by Karen Rose
#22 - Say You're Sorry (Sacremento #1) - 4.5
#23 - Into the Dark (Cincinnati #5) - 4.5
Listened, male narrator for a change but makes sense since POV is more hero than heroine in this one. Don't care for the narrator's character voicing, female horrible but male also bad, story is good enough that it faded into the background. Another long book I couldn't step away from. In #23 my favorite narrator is back but I think this is her last one in the existing Karen Rose titles (Hillary Huber). A couple devastating scenes in this one but so good. Last of the Cincinnati stories.
Hard Play by Nalini Singh
#1 - Cherish Hard - 3.5
Listened, narration is good.
Hidden Legacy by Ilona Andrews
#6 - Ruby Fever - 4.5
Listened, narration is very good. Wrapped up the loose ends but opened the way for the Arabella's story.
Fallen Angels by J.R. Ward
#5 - Possession - 3.5
#6 - Immortal - 4
Listened, narration is good. Narrator is better than who they use for BDB. Took a while to re-orientate in the series but after a bit it started to come back to me and I didn't feel the need to relisten to the earlier books. Filled in a couple holes that appeared in BDB #23. Series finished but guessing I'll be seeing some of the characters appear in later BDB books, especially Lassiter (in 2023).
BDB by J.R. Ward
#24 - The Jackal (BDB: Prison Camp #1) - 4
Listened, same narrator as the rest of BDB, OK. Spin-off series slow to start but got interesting.
Inkeeper Chronicles by Ilona Andrews
#1 - Clean Sweep - 4.5
Listened on Scribd. This is the first time I've listened to an acted book with multiple character actors, sound effects and everything. It took a bit to get used to it then I really enjoyed it. The actor they have playing Sean has the kind of voice that would be great for the BDB series. The world and characters are interesting and the dynamic between the MCs is fun so far. I've already started #2.
