Buffy's Ramblings

Cursed by Fire (Blood & Magic Series, Bk 1) By Danielle Annett Narrated by Nicole Poole Blurb: Blood is going to spill … It won’t be mine. Someone is feeding the flames, leaving a trail of bodies in their wake. The victims are innocents, chosen to pit the shifter Pack and the vampire Coven against one another. If war breaks out, humanity won’t survive. But controlling fire is my thing, and I won’t let that happen. I’m a mercenary, but this is about so much more than money. It’s my city and someone is threatening it. I won’t stop until I find them. When the good guys start to look more like villains, I have no chose but to question everything I knew, including the people I thought I could trust.  It turns out the humans might not be as helpless as they seem, and I'm in more danger than I realized.  Available for purchase at  Audible MY REVIEW Title:   Cursed by Fire Series:   Blood and Magic Boo...

I absolutely LOVE the Immortal Guardians series by Dianne Duvall!  I'm the type of person that will not only reread books, but have them in multiple formats.  I have the paperbacks, ebooks, and audiobooks.  Audiobooks are special because the books are given voice.  I like audiobooks because I can listen to them while I walk (which is my preferred form of exercise), but I generally have to listen to ones I've already read or I miss things.   While these were not my first audiobooks, there were the ones that made me fall in love with them.  Dianne Duvall created this amazing world with her Immortal Guardians, and Kirsten Potter brings that world to life.  It is because of her that I've become pretty picky with my audiobooks.  She does an incredible job giving each character a distinct voice that even matches the book's description.  You end up feeling like they're real people and your friends.  She captures the tone of each sc...

Tavia Gilbert is my second favorite audiobook narrator.  The Night Huntress series is another favorite and she does a wonderful job bringing the characters to life.  She captures every nuance in the characters and every emotion in any scene.  In addition to the writing, Tavia Gilbert's performance keeps you emotionally invested and completely riveted throughout all the books. She also narrates the other spinoff books set in this world and there were a couple of those between books 6 and 7.  I notice that Ms. Gilbert doesn't quite sound the same as Bones in book 7 as she did in 6.  This threw me off just a little bit, but everything is still great.  This is another set of audiobooks that are captivating and I can listen to them over and over again!
