Audio Review: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

🎧AUDIO REVIEW🎧

Narrated by:  Santino Fontana

Getting this story was rather interesting.  This is the story of how Coriolanus Snow became the President that he was during the Hunger Games.   The most intriguing part is that he was a mentor in a very primitive version of the Hunger Games.  And it even seems like he is the reason that the HGs are what they end up being by the 74th year.  The tributes are treated better.  The arena is more interesting.  They involve the people in the Capitol and the Districts more.  Snow was a mentor to the District 12 Girl!  Lucy was such an enigmatic character that is later embodied in Katniss!  They have so much in common.... so you can totally see why he has issues with Katniss..... But basically through the process Snow falls in love with his tribute.... and does all he can to help her because he doesn't want her to die.  Well...... she wins.  But he gets in trouble for some of the things that he did.... and they are both sent back to District 12 where they grow closer..... until Snow makes his decisions on the life he really wants to lead.  And you find that he is 100% Capitol and will do anything to same himself.  Listening to the audio on this was probably a good call for me because there were parts that I really felt dragged on and I may not have been able to maintain my focus if I had been reading it.

  Timeless by Kaylene Winter          4.75 🌟  4 🔥 Absolutely LOVE this series!! And I am not sure if I am ready for the Encore books yet..... but I will get into them soon! This is a childhood friends to lovers story that spans decades. Both Fiona and Zane have a lot of family issues to sort through on their own and they have always been a huge support for each other.... the one thing that was always solid. Until her mom took her away claiming that Zane was going to be just like his father. These 2 go through so much to be together that I was feeling gutted through out the entire book! And I was constantly getting mad at the different obstacles that kept blocking them from their happily ever after! And when they are together..... they are HOT 🔥🔥🔥. The only thing that I was unhappy about with this book was ..... DAMMIT! When can we find out if Carter and Lianne get back together FOR GOOD?!?!?

                                                                               Stealing Heats by Lex Martin     4.25🌟 4🔥      This book was JUST what I needed!  It was hot, fast-paced, a bit of suspense, and a woman-you-love-to-hate!  Brother's best friend, but with the added angst that the brother died Rhett wants to save his family's ranch and the only way he can get a loan is to be married.  Paige needs to rehab an injury, but has no insurance to do it.  So win/win.  And then they go and let feelings get involved.  But with the way that Paige seamlessly fits right into his family with all his brothers, there was no way that feelings wouldn't come about.... not to mention the history and Paige's ch...

  Promise Me Not by Meagan Brandy          5🌟 2🔥 Definitely worth the wait! This was a SUPER SLOW BURN book! So if you are looking for spice, it isn't here!  But if you are looking for a heart felt, gut wrenching tale of love lost, then found again.... you are in the right place!  Mason was such a hot AF super alpha and was ready to take charge right away.  He knew he wanted it all and he wanted it with Payton!  Chase was sticking his meddling nose in where it didn't belong (AGAIN) and I was ready to figure out how to jump into the book just to punch him in the face!  But then look at him trying to redeem himself!  We shall see!  This story must have been a tough one for Meagan to tell.... they guilt and pain that Payton feels through out the whole book, over EVERYTHING and EVERYONE that she really has contact with.  But most of all the guilt about Deaton (the decease father of her son), Little D(eaton) and Mason. I...
