Narrated by Mike Paul Genre - Historical Fiction Format - Audiobook Rating - 5 out of 5 stars Narration Rating - 2 out of 5 stars I loved this book but the narration left me feeling a little let down. The narrator was very dry and had only three voices. One for the Nazi’s, one for the Jews, and one for the women. I like when all the voices are just a tad different. Now with that nastiness done I loved the actually book and storyline. The author brought to light a whole new side of things about the war and especially people who fled Germany before the war even started. In the beginning the main characters have fled Germany years before the war started and are living in a refugee camp. All that changes though.  The Nazi’s get a hold of the refugee camp and turn it into a prisoner camp. While this camp is not a “death” camp they are shipping people to the death camps from it. At first the main character is lucky and is picked as a informal police officer and life is good but...

Genre - Historical Fiction Rating - 5 out of 5 stars This book had a very slow start but once I got into it a bit I was wowed. This was a great book about the nurses of WW2 and how strong they were, especially when working on the frontlines, and behind enemy lines in this case.  This book is about four nurses that go on a secret mission behind enemy lines. They did not know what they were doing when they first started out. They are just told that there is a solider behind enemy lines that needed their aid. It turns out that they were to help a solider but also go on a mission to find the German Reich’s secret weapon known only as the Giant. They decide to accept this mission and the insanity of WW2 starts. This gives us a peak (although fictional) behind enemy lines and what would have happened had they been caught. I must warn people that this book is not for the faint hearted. There are some bad things that happen along the way. There is talk of bombings and graphic descriptions ...

Series - Kate Burkholder #13 Narrator - Kathleen McInerney Genre - Suspense/Mystery Rating - 5 out of 5 stars Narration - 5 out of 5 stars I can’t say enough good about this book! It was excellent, with a lot of twists and turns. Also, although I have read a few of the first books I was able to catch on quickly to what had happened in the books I had not read. It is definitely one that could be read as a stand alone. This continues the story of Kate Burkholder and her solving of Amish deaths. This one is about a girl that has been shunned from the Amish but came back into town and ends up murdered. There is blackmail and intrigue in every corner. The narrator who has done all the narrations for all the books is excellent! She keeps you on your toes as you listen and makes you want to come back for more. She is excellent at using the Amish language and makes you feel like you are listening to an actual Amish person while listening. So I don’t do spoilers but I have to say in...

Genre - Fantasy Narrator - Christina Delaine Rating - 5 out of 5 stars Narration - 5 out of 5 stars This was a nice light hearted book about a psychic that has lost her spark and is losing interest in the craft. Then she discovers that she can read dogs thoughts and talk to them.  She never met her parents so as the book progresses she is looking for her mother. She is also a traveler that likes to wander from one place to another but keeps finding herself stuck in a certain small town. Always coming up with problems with her vehicle or something that she thinks she needs to stay in town for. The narrator is great, she just adds to the light and cheerful mood through out the book. I really liked the way she did the voices for the dogs thoughts. With a little romance and drama thrown in it is all in all a great book. Will she stay in the small town or move on? Will she find her mother and find answers to questions she has had for years? Well I guess you will have to read/...
