Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,184
Bryce Quinlan never expected to see a world other than Midgard, but now that she has, all she wants is to get back. Everything she loves is in Midgard: her family, her friends, her mate. Stranded in a strange world, she's going to need all her wits about her to get home again. And that's no easy feat when she has no idea who to trust. Hunt Athalar has found himself in some deep holes in his life, but this one might be the deepest of all. After a few brief months with everything he ever wanted, he's in the Asteri's dungeons again, stripped of his freedom and without a clue as to Bryce's fate.

There’s a problem, though. Clive’s been cursed. A little stabby, stabby from a demonic knife catapults them into a race against time to find a cure.

The Cast of "Auf Wiedersehen, Pet"
Reviewed: 02-05-23
Not finished listening yet, but feel now I've started, I'm going to finish. The voice telling the story, gives me a mental image of the cast of "Auf Wiedersehen, Pet" (1980s geordie/ Newcastle TV program), i.e. a group of Northern 40- something year olds, have all been transported into a video game. Think the story would be better without all the swearing, but that's just me, as the bones of the adventure is really good. Love that the main characters come from Sunderland as many people won't know where that is, but the constant reference to drinking and drunk and disorderly behaviour means that this book should NOT be used as a review on Trip Advisor for the city or the people in it. Desperate to see if he gets is hand fixed, which I am guessing doesn't happen for a while yet.

Last book but not in order
Reviewed: 01-10-20
I had expected this book to continue on from the story of the previous one but it seems to go back in time and should have probably been the second book, however when Tayeeta is in Babylon in one of the previous books there is no mention of his first visit. Good story, different narrator to the previous books who is still good but disappointing that it didn't continue on from the last book.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 679
Harley Merlin can sense people's emotions, among other things. It's how she snagged her first job pinpointing cheaters at a casino. But she has no clue where she got these freakish powers because she spent her childhood jumping from home to home in the foster system, and her father left her with nothing more than a cryptic note. Then she crosses paths with a terrifyingly real monster. Which is when a mysterious and annoyingly arrogant young warlock named Wade Crowley steps in, introducing her to a hidden world of beasts, magicals, and covens riddled with secrets.

Really liked but Series finishes at Book 6
Reviewed: 15-08-19
Loved listening to these books but the Audible series finishes at Book 6 out of 11 which is disappointing as this is the second Bella Forest series that this has happened with. Won't be buying her books again. Good books, which I enjoyed but haven't got time to buy the books to read them.

The stunning debut fantasy novel from author Peter V. Brett. The Painted Man, book one of the Demon Cycle, is a captivating and thrilling fantasy adventure, pulling the reader into a world of demons, darkness and heroes. Voted one of the top ten fantasy novels of 2008 by amazon.co.uk. Sometimes there is very good reason to be afraid of the dark…Eleven-year-old Arlen lives with his parents on their small farmstead, half a day's ride from the isolated hamlet of Tibbet's Brook.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 115
Paul Collier reveals that 50 failed states - home to the poorest one billion people on earth - pose the central challenge of the developing world in the 21st century. The book shines much-needed light on this group of small nations, largely unnoticed by the industrialized West, that are dropping further and further behind the majority of the world's people, often falling into an absolute decline in living standards.

Loved it as it answered a lot of questions but...
Reviewed: 27-12-18
Well written, well narrated, answered lots of questions but also made me think of plenty more. I would like to see the next book provide individual suggestions for each country as to what should be done in/ for each to pull them out of poverty.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 652
Why do most diets fail? Why does one person eat a certain meal and gain weight, while another eating the same meal loses pounds? Why, despite all the advice about what to eat, are we all still getting fatter? The answers are much more surprising - and fascinating - than we've been led to believe. The key to health and weight loss lies not in the latest fad diet, nor even in the simple mantra of 'eat less, exercise more', but in the microbes already inside us.

A life time's education
Reviewed: 07-08-18
I've tried all of the diets out there and had a yo-yo relationship with my bathroom scales. I know that all of the advice goes back to eating more fruit and veg but didn't really understand the true reason of why until now. It makes so much sense and will allow me to make more informed decisions when it comes to my eating choices and habits. Wish I had read/listened to this book years ago.

Really enjoying the series, when normally book series get boring the further in you go, this seems to get more exciting and interesting.
