Recommended if you like Mercy Thompson and (early) Anita Blake (though both of those series are still better.First 8 only of Anita Blake that is ) ). I'm just sad they've only done the first three in this way! Please, please, please record all of the series like this! I found this author as I listened to the Forty Proof Series, which was alright, not amazing, but this series (thus far), is much better in my opinion. ![]() New York Times bestselling author Deanna Chase Mayer’s books rank right up there with Kim Harrison’s, Patricia Briggs’s, and Ilona Andrews’s. If you’re a fan of Ilona Andrews, you’ll love Rylee Adamson. ![]() The characters are really brought to life and the sound effects made for an exciting and dramatic experience. Praise for Shannon Mayer and the Rylee Adamson series Steamy, action-packed, and full of heart. The acting was good (I really liked the voice for the main character, which is the most important). I wasn't sure what to expect from this format, but it turned out to be excellent! I thoroughly enjoyed this dramatized adaptation, the most I have enjoyed an audio book for a long time. I chose this over the standard narrated version as the narrator on that was absolutely awful, so flat and dull. ![]() ![]() ![]() To be chosen-to be a dragonrider! To sit astride the neck of a winged beast with jeweled eyes: to be his friend, in telepathic communion with him for life to be his companion in good times and fighting extremes to fly effortlessly over the lands of Pem! Or, thrillingly, between to any point anywhere on the world! Flying between was done on dragonback or not at all, and it was dangerous. The very thought of that glorious moment made Keevan's breath catch in his throat. ![]() It was very near hatching time, when the baby dragons would crack their mottled shells, and stagger forth to choose their lifetime companions. A good record was especially important now. Sloth was not tolerated by the Weyrleader of Benden Weyr. Keevan would arrive, tail fork-end of the group, breathless, chest heaving, and maybe get a stem look from the instructing wing-second.ĭragonriders, even if they were still only hopeful candidates for the glowing eggs which were hardening on the hot sands of the Hatching Ground cavern, were expected to be punctual and prepared. Just as he knew many other things that his foster mother told him he ought not to know, Keevan knew that Beterii, the most senior of the boys, set that spank-ing pace just to embarrass him, the smallest dragonboy. ![]() Although Keevan lengthened his walking stride as far as his legs would stretch, he couldn't quite keep up with the other candidates. ![]() ![]() ![]() They play host to nightly parties for the dead before guiding souls through the gate to the afterlife and safely on their journey back to the stars. The House with Chicken Legs tells a tale steeped in Eastern European folklore as the audience are invited into the netherworld of this house of bones which is home to Baba Yaga and her granddaughter Marinka. Its easy to see why The House with Chicken Legs was such a great choice to showcase the very varied talents of Les Enfants Terrible as they celebrate 20 years as a successful company. This lively adaptation of the hugely successful children’s book by Sophie Anderson is brimming with energetic performances, Eastern European folklore, music, puppetry and animation. This brand new collaboration with Les Enfants Terribles is no exception. HOME excels at being a welcoming venue for vibrant, colourful and riotous productions such as the Emma Rice’s Wise Children and The Tiger Lillies Corrido de la Sangre. ![]() Directed by Oliver Lansley and James SeagerĬo-production HOME and Les Enfants Terribles ![]() ![]() ![]() In the series, Kate navigates dating other men. ![]() Although both versions hint that Johnny might be secretly in love with Tully, Kate’s love life plays out very differently. In the book, unlike the Netflix series, Kate and Johnny never get divorced, only separated. That, plus the fact that there’s a sequel to the novel-” Fly Away”-has left viewers hungry for a second season, which hasn’t yet been confirmed by Netflix. Much of the series is spent on the flashbacks and it covers only about half of the book. While the novel tells Tully and Kate’s story chronologically, the Netflix series jumps back and forth using fashion and hair choices to clue the viewer in to the time. The most amazing part? Many viewers seem to have loved it just as much, and it spent weeks on the Netflix Top 10 list.Īlthough both the novel and the series follow the friendship over three decades through family drama, romantic escapades and more, there are some major differences in the storylines. Based on the much-loved novel by Kristin Hannah, “Firefly Lane” is the coming-of-age story of two best friends, Tully (Katherine Heigl) and Kate (Sarah Chalke). ![]() ![]() “Firefly Lane” on Netflix proves that a series can get just as much hype as the book. ![]() ![]() ![]() The detailed and clever worldbuilding more than justifies a sequel, and Tchaikovsky pulls of an impressive feat in making Rex’s character evolution genuinely moving. Redmark has been retained to suppress anarchist terrorists there, but as Rex comes to suspect that some of those he and his unit have slaughtered were innocents, he must weigh his desire to be a “Good Dog” for his masters against his desire to do real good. ![]() His obedience is tested on a mission in Campeche, Mexico. Rex is the leader of the Redmark corporation’s Asset Protection team, whose other members include an augmented swarm of bees, a weaponized bear, and a dragonlike lizard.

This “Good Dog” is almost eight feet tall, with guns mounted on both shoulders and “super-dense muscles, impact-resistant fibres in his skin, hollow bones that were strong as titanium.” In short, he was made for combat. ![]() I am a Good Dog”-Tchaikovsky appeals to the cliché of a pet desperate for approval, which proves grimly ironic as Rex’s true nature is revealed. Clarke Award winner Tchaikovsky ( Children of Time) takes readers inside the mind of a weaponized bioengineered animal in this imaginative triumph, the first in a series. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
