Birds of Prey

Interesting concept on the short stories. They had to be about a bird of prey. I used it on my cross-country trip.

Birds of PreyThe introduction was amusing as Harlan Coben delivered one bad pun after another.The Coffin Bearer Tessa Gerritsen--A short intense suspenseful story that reveals a horrible secret and a dangerous pact.Precious Cargo C. J. BoxOMG!! A totally unexpected ending.Owl Kathy Reich'sCreepy and kind of weird, but not really.Kudzu Ace AtkinsVery emotional, sad tale involving greed, family, and loss.Predator or Prey? Heather GrahamThe not so bright move on Haley's part. The indecision. The terror, and the California Condor.Silent as a Shadow S. A. CosbyDesperation, old legends, karma, and the owl.Jail Birds Hank Philippi RyanLooks can be deceiving and arrogance and cruelty ultimately pays a priceThe Falcon Robert DugoniThe theme of this story is be careful who you trust. Another intense, suspenseful story that left me holding my breath.Watchers Allison BrennanA suspenseful thriller that causes the heroine to make a potential life changing choice.Red of Beak and Claw Gregg HurwitzI hate to say it, but this did not hold my attention. I felt like it was a rambling commentary on a relationship. I think the relationship was comparing a vampire and its human prey to a vampire finch and its prey. Whatever it was, it didn't do much for me. I just waited for it to end.Hawkshaw Hunting Kelley ArmstrongAn intriguing story about a city that doesn't exist, but does, and piqued my interest enough to start reading the Casey Duncan series.This audio book was engaging, intriguing, and entertaining. I would recommend for that reason, and also if you want to.sample some authors that may be new to you.

Most are a little different, some hard to understand, a few were really good and some I couldn't wait for them to be over. Some suspense, a few thrills, some cute and funny.The narrators did a good job, they showed emotions, good character voice, being music as nice. No repeating of words, no volume changes and no background noise.

I really enjoyed the unexpected turns and twists in the plot. The characters were believable, and the language /dialect was spot on.

Like to listen to books while driving. These were suspenseful and engaging.
