I didn't finish The Mirk and Midnight Hour because I was thoroughly bored. I thought I was going to get a completely different novel than the one I was reading. I was expecting much more magic and fantasy. I got to disc three and just didn't really care about any of the characters. I wasn't invested enough to stick it out. Autumn liked it. (read her review.)

I gave up on All the Birds, Singing after the first CD. I had no idea what was going on. The story was all over the place. The shifts in time were abrupt and not clearly marked. I just couldn't get into the groove of that. The past excerpts seemed to go in reverse order further confusing me. I shouldn't have to work that hard for a good story.

With The Here and Now, like Autumn (see below), I gave up on this one about 20 minutes into the book. It wasn't what I thought it was going to be. One thing I didn't buy into is if you are trying to keep a low profile, why would you allow your children to go to school and interact with other people. You can't control everyone. I also saw the potential for YA insta-love angst. Just, please no more!

The Sleep Room: Again, another audiobook with another English accent. This time it wasn't so awful. Male reader and his wasn't bad, but it was a snoozefest. Ha ha see what I did there? It's a book called The Sleep Room and I called it a snoozefest. I'm being a bit harsh. It wasn't too bad, it was just a bit dark and dreary and slow and I think at the time, it wasn't something I was in the mood for. It's probably more of a winter time book, dark, rainy, weekend book. Not a middle of a bright spring day book.

Give Until You're Mine another try but reading it. She is a great author, I enjoyed this one.
I am not an audio fan.
