Lol well now, that's the best kind of movie review you could get. Unfortunately I had to re-shelve the book as I wasn't feeling in the mood to continue with that and The Hate U Give. Enjoying reading some predictable smut lol sometimes it's what I need when life is a little stressed.

Still listening to
which feels a little weird. A few times I had to rewind cause I missed something and a lot of times I find it hard to connect with the characters but it's still a good read so far. I think I do much rather enjoy actually reading but this was my first time listening to audio.
I also finished reading
and nearly half-way through
...I think I'm going to read everything else by this author, which I have lined up...rather enjoying her writing and ability to suck you right into the story.

I also finished reading

It took me a while before I learned how to focus without rewinding Sylvia. Hope it gets better for you.

I can Honestly say I hated audios the first time I tried them. The second tim I was still meeh I really got into them after starting The Night Huntress Series!! I think it takes a good narrator that can really pull you in. But I too have had to rewind more than a few times but I dont mind when I get do much more done and easier on the eyes !!
I don’t know what I would do without my audio books. I just don’t have the time to read and it makes me sad. I would properly have to be locked up if it weren’t for audios.


Oh L.J Shen I have her Sinner of Saints books and also Blood To Dust. I've heard they are her best so I'll be getting to those soon!

Agree 100% Tracy !! Now that I am use to them I would rather have audio than Ebook not that I dont still love books I still buy pretties for my bookshelves!

You are on point with narration :) I will continue on with this one and keep at it and hopefully it will fit just like it has with both of you

I'm over halfway through the first Sinner and Saints book and really enjoying it. She really knows her stuff that's for sure.

My son hates reading, which is weird considering, but I was listening to Maze Runner and he really got into it. Wouldn’t let me listen to it without him.

I finished listening to
and thought it was ok. Didn't really connect with the characters or found myself lost a little but it was my first audiobook listen so that may have had something to do with it. I'm not too keen to continue on with the story but if I do, it will be a long time away.
I'm working my way through some smutty books lol
so that's two HotHoles from this Saints to Sinners series down, two more sexy boys to go.
I also finished
which I absolutely love.

I didnt love this one either, well I liked it and had no problem moving on to the next book which I thought was much much better I didnt like the final book I felt let down and very underwhelmed ...

Right now I'm reading

I felt the same way about Darkest Minds. Never really got into it enough to be hooked to the series. I read the first two but never got around to the third and haven't thought much about it. I liked the idea behind it, I just thought it wasn't executed well.. very slow and the characters just never got enough depth for me to care about them..

Sorry your first audio wasn’t a wow. Hope you try it again. Just takes a little getting used to.

I loved Children Of Blood and Bone!!


Yeah the Idea behind it was brilliant but I can assure you it failed miserably in the last book! I was sooo disapointed !!

Definitely no depth to the characters...I'm glad I won't be pushing through the series then to finish it off.

Those types of books are my favourite kind. The ones you can visit over and over again and never tire of them. What was the first book like in this series?

Same I was hoping to be able to enjoy this new series , I saw the raving reviews for all of her previous books. To get caught up in the story there are 7 books before Tempest and Slaughter !! Maybe I'll give them a go they do have great reviews so that looks promising.
