Now I loved "Hello" and as all other fans waited patiently for this cd. I bought it the day it came out and was completely blown away.

I will never understand how she remains a "hidden treasure" and doesnt have the huge success she desreves.

This cd is all over the place but in a good way. You have flamenco, folk, rock and dance all in one place. With lyrics that are painful, piercing, honest and lovely. Her voice is amazing and I never tire listening to it.

I love this cd. Ive had it for years and keep pulling it out and get shocked everytime I listen.

If you like Amanda Ghost, Goldfrapp, or Air you should definately give this a go.

This book was very anticipated and it does NOT disappoint. Its even a little better than the first because you start off right with the peculiars and not leading up to it. I actually said outloud last night while reading it, "Wow, he is so damn clever"
I hope there will be a third in the series because I definitely miss reading it when its over!! MUST READ FIRST BOOK IN SERIES TO GRASP AND UNDERSTAND SECOND.

I'm really enjoying where the story is going. That one was a bit different from the first, with more angst, but I'm enjoying learning more about Henry.

And we finally got the sexy times! Yay! And I loved how it played out too

Loved it, great second installment in the series, plot moves along at breakneck pace. I listened to the audio version and found myself looking forward to listening to it every time I had some drive time. I can definitely see a movie being made of this series!

I liked this one a lot more than the first one.  The characters felt more well rounded, and I got to see more of who Virginia is when shes not so concerned about her weight because her weight isn't who she is as a person.  Also, I must say, Im a huge fan of the cover change.

I liked the parallels that were drawn between the first chapter of this book and the first book.  Im a sucker for anything parallel, so I definitely appreciated that.  I also liked that although its a sequel, it stands on its own.  While I would definitely recommend reading the first book first, you wouldnt be totally lost if you just picked this one up.  Although this one is being released 15 years (!!!!) after the first one, it picks up just 5 months after the events of TEMBAOBRT.  I kept reading and looking for little tidbits that would make it obvious that this one was written in our present day (ish) time, and not 15 years ago like it takes place in, but there wasn't too much.  I couldn't remember how much they used their cell phones in the first book, but that would be about it.

Virginia is still dealing, understandably, with the information that her brother date raped a girl at Columbia.  We get to see that situation continue to play out throughout the book, and theres a pretty solid conclusion to that at the end.  Im not sure if I totally agree with it, but its definite, so I like that its not open-ended.  Carolyn does a great job of making me care about Byron and not painting him as a static bad character, but as a character who made an awful decision.  She never tried to justify his actions, which is obviously good.

I totally guessed who Sebastian, her new love interest, was from pretty early on.  It was a good plot twist.  Slightly predictable, but good nonetheless.  I felt that at the end they moved a bit fast but other than that, they were super adorable.  Virginia says what were all thinking, and its super cute.

Overall, I enjoyed this book.

I think that this was even better than the first one. There were some amazing plot and character twists, and the story was better before. I can't wait for the next book (as with everything Brandon writes.)

I received an ARC copy for free in return for an honest review.  All the characters and elements that I loved from the first book are back, but the plot is even more enticing, with Maggie trying to solve two mysteries, a death and a haunting.  Approximately midway through the book, there is an incident, which I did not see coming, and this twisted everything and added immensely to my enjoyment.  I love the humorous moments, especially the hysterical scene involving two elderly gentlemen, who just happen to be naked and under the influence of moonshine and some brownies, with the ingredients containing more than chocolate.  Later in the book, there is an equally amusing scene, which brings to mind the phrase, turnabout is fair play.  The hunky Garda Sergeant is back and Maggie feels the pull of attraction, even when they are at odds over the murder.  Ultimately, not only are both cases solved,  but a piece of history is preserved in the process.  This second in the series expands on the promise of the first and allows the reader to feel even more of a kinship with the interesting and varied inhabitants of Whisper Island.  I hope to be returning soon for further adventures.

This book was even better than the first in the Tales of Nevaeh! So much more of the story is told, with more characters and even more magic. I am amazed at the way David Wind is able to tell a story so compelling it is hard to stop reading. I read both Born to Magic and The Dark Masters in a week, so the only negative is now having to wait for the third book to be released. I know it will be well worth the wait.

This book was so much better than the first.  By this point you know a lot more about the characters and why/how they relate to each other the way they do.  This book had some "turn up the air conditioning" sex scenes in it but the main draw for me was the relationship that continues to grow between Eva and Gideon, including the things he does to prove his love to her.  I am really looking forward to the third installment in this series to see how it all gets wrapped up!

I loved the first book, and was super excited about the second. It did not disappoint, I still love the characters even if I wish Ildiko would have been a little less pragmatic about the future that the elders were planning for Brishen. I want to keep reading more about these two, but I will keep reading this series even though Grace plans on shifting the focus of her next book to Brishen's cousin and her suitor. If you loved the first book as much as I did, this is definitely worth the read!!

Witch's Nocturne picks up not long after Blood Fugue (Moonsongs Book 1) ended, and it was great getting back to Jenny and her friend Marshall. Jenny is starting up her PI business and Wesley doesn't waste any time getting her involved in a new and intriguing case. The story moves quickly and builds to a suspenseful and genuinely scary climax that leaves the reader immediately anxious for the next installment.

Jenny is a fantastic character, with a funny and engaging voice, and I can't wait to find out what is next for her and her buddy Marshall following the developments in Witch's Nocturne. In addition, Wesley expanded Jenny's universe with the introduction of some new characters, some friendly, some anything but, and I am anxious to see what role these characters will play in the series as it continues.

Definitely looking forward to Book 3!

The first book was good, the second one was much better, and this one here one is my favorite so far. Owen's growth from childhood to manhood is realistic, and his character is highly likable.

I already have the rest of the series waiting in my cell phone to be listened to. By the way, the narrator is fabulous!

I am anxiously waiting for the 3rd book! I have enjoyed these characters and their developments.  Also, I am such a music fan and love the use of modern music to send messages through the book.  I downloaded many of the notable songs on iTunes just so I could hear their message!

Really great follow up to the first book.  To be honest, I was wondering how long the author would be able to keep up the hilarious internal monologues and he doesn't disappoint.  Pacing is a bit slower in some parts vs book 1 but overall still hard to put down.  Don't want to give spoilers but there are a few moments where you question the incompetence of Rezkin's companions but I let it go and suspend my disbelief because the rest of the book is so good.

The real question readers need to ask after they finish this is, "WHEN DO WE GET BOOK 3??"  =)

I really enjoyed the first book in the Frontlines series, so giving book two a shot only seemed natural. I really hope that Kloos can create the same magic, the same intensity, the same well developed story. Many times a second book in a series will lack in the same energy and intensity as the first. I really hope that Kloos can keep this from happening.

I have suddenly found myself listening to more military science fiction than ever before, and I have to admit that I love it. Every author letting their imagination go wild and create awesomeness from nothing.

Lines of Departure is, so far in my opinion, even better than the first book. Filled with meticulously crafted military battle scenes. Enough action was packed in to get me jacked like I drank too much coffee. I listened to this in one sitting and I think many other will do the same.

Kloos was able to dynamically evolve all of the characters that I loved from the first book. While introducing many others. A majority of the story took place on a distant ice planet where the situation becomes FUBAR. I cant say much because I do not want to give anything away.

If you enjoyed Terms of Enlistment you will love book two. If you were on the fence about book one you will love book two. I cannot wait until book tree comes out as I will be waiting in line for it.

In over 1000 audio books that I have listened to in my life. I have never heard a performance like the one Luke Daniels gives in Lines of Departure. He injects every sentence with so much energy and emotion. Daniels is truly at the top of his game. While there was a plethora of characters for Daniels to keep straight, he gave each their own voice with ease. At part he made me jump out of my seat by actually yelling when a character was.

Another reason for the success of this audio performance was Daniels ability to change the pacing on a dime. Slowing down for the sentimental parts. Then exploding into a frantic blitz action and battles, without missing a beat.
