Smoke and Mirrors

by Jayne Ann Krentz.

This one was well done with multiple voices for the different characters, sometimes that throws me off but I liked this one. The mystery was good in this one and of course the characters were great. I think my only complaint was that sometimes (more in the beginning) the two readers seem to overlap each other a bit - almost sound like interrupting, rushing along, and sometimes the scene didnt' call for it so it was out of place and threw the listener off.

Silent in the Sanctuary (silent series book 2)

by Deanna Raybourne.

I love love love this series! And I'm catching new things this second time around. For example the reference to the Duchess of Devonshire - since I saw the movie The Duchess I now understand the reference to Devonshire! It's great!

I just finished this book and I'm not sure if I'll do book 3 yet or not since I just listened to it recently. I did not purchase it in paperback yet because it's not mass market so I may wait. That means I have to decide what to read next!

Truth or Dare (Whispering Springs book 2)

by Jayne Ann Krentz.

And the second one does not disappoint :) I figured this book would deal more with her psychic ability which was great. The same two characters (not usually the case for a JAK/AQ series but it was very enjoyable. Plus there were a lot more characters to get to know and like and more than one romantic couple which made it even more interesting!

Silent in the Grave (silent series book 1)

by Deanna Raybourne.

I loved this even more the second time through. I even found a passage I wanted to mark because of the great foreshadowing. I absolutely love this series and I can't wait to start on the second one again now :)

An Assembly Such as This

by Pamela Aidan

A novel by Fitzwilliam Darcy. This is Pride & Prejudice from Mr. Darcy's point of view and is done in a trilogy. This is the second time I've read this but since I re-read P&P just a short while ago I had to give this another go-round.

I love this trilogy - almost as much as the original P&P! Reading this again was a real treat, except for the ending, once Darcy goes back to London I seem to lose interest. Due to this I'm skipping the second book and starting the third right off now which is Darcy going to Lady Catherine's where he will see Elizabeth! What a treat it is to re-read these, I finished this one last night and started the third before going to sleep.

Light in Shadow (Whispering Springs book 1)

by Jayne Ann Krentz.

I bought both Whispering Springs books in audible format and wasn't sure which one was first :) But this must be the first one... I figured after I listened to one minute of the second first by accident!

I really liked this book, it's almost Arcane Society like but without the society. I'm hoping the second one goes more into the psychic ability. This had some good mystery and almost an Amanda Quick feel with the "fake marriage" theme. I'm very excited to start the second (Truth or Dare) next!
