Chaotic Goddess Swaps - Books N' Bloggers Swap

My swap partner for my first time participating, was Tula over at Primary School Library Diva . She sent me some amazing books, a bookmark, and a coloring journal. How cool is that?! I wasn't so creative, I'm sorry Tula! Next time, I will remember how awesome my first swap was, and make it more fun!

Thanks to the Chaotic Goddess's Beth & Angie, for putting this together, and for the hard work that I'm sure goes into it!

Review: Bird Box

Bird Box by Josh Malerman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

"Written with the narrative tension of The Road and the exquisite terror of classic Stephen King, Bird Box is a propulsive, edge-of-your-seat horror thriller, set in an apocalyptic near-future world—a masterpiece of suspense from the brilliantly imaginative Josh Malerman.

Something is out there . . .

Something terrifying that must not be seen. One glimpse and a person is driven to deadly violence. No one knows what it is or where it came from."

That's all I had to read, and I started it. Bird Box is fantastic! It was intense and harrowing, with a lead character who had me feeling her emotions all through the book. Cassandra Campbell was the narrator, and she did a superb job. I would definitely listen to her again.

Review: Blue Lily, Lily Blue

Blue Lily, Lily Blue by Maggie Stiefvater
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I liked this book best so far. I'm not sure if this is because I know the characters now, or if the story is progressing in a way I like. Either way, it's still keeping me interested and curious.

My favorite is still the narrator Will Patton. He is amazing, and his voices are spot on. No matter what he narrates, I will listen.

Review: The Angel of Death

The Angel of Death by Elicia Hyder
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I tried to pace myself, but I read this every chance I got! I love this series, and I feel like these characters are my friends. I wonder about them when I'm waiting for the next book, and I re-read the books when I have a lapse in good books keeping my attention.

Angels, Demons, and Humans. What more is there to say? Read it. Seriously.

Review: Second Coming

Second Coming by Amanda Carney
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was such a great PNR! The cliffhanger in book 1 picked up at the same spot in book 2, and wrapped up nicely by the end. With the introduction of multiple paranormal character types, the story takes off, and becomes quite intense. I hope that Amanda Carney continues to write about these characters, I'd love to know what happens next in their lives.

Review: First Fruits

First Fruits by Amanda Carney
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Different, but not. It's a paranormal romance, for sure. It's not too weighed down with sex, but it's there. What's extra nice is the fact that there is a very good story, and it takes the stage throughout. If you've ever read the Anita Blake Vampire Hunter series, you know that what started out amazingly good, turned to nothing but group sex and almost no story. I don't see this happening with Amanda Carney. There is real talent there, and it's based in a solid story.

Great book for discussion too, if you belong to a book club. Add this one to your lists! I'll be reading the next in the series soon.

*I received a free copy of the book for an honest review.

Hounded (The Iron Druid Chronicles #1) by Kevin Hearne (Goodreads Author) (Narrator: Luke Daniels)

Hounded by Kevin Hearne
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was into the book from the first sentence. It was fun, interesting, and has a great foundation for more books. I'm happy I have this book a shot.

I liked the narrator very much. Luke Daniels did some great voices, especially for Oberon.
