The Elite by Kiera Cass (Narrated by Amy Rubinate)

Aside from the scandal, I ended up really liking The Selection last year because I thought it had a really cool premise. I was eager to see what happened. The Elite was a nice follow-up that will satisfy the fans but I wish these books had a bit more action and that the action was better developed. Aspen and Maxon often seem like the same person trait-wise. But I did enjoy this one specially at the end. The audio was very well narrated again and you can be sure I'll be listening to the third instead of reading it. This reader is very good. 
Book:  ★★
Narrator:  ★★★★
Recommended audio? Yes.


The Crimson Crown by Cinda Williams Chima (Narrated by Carol Monda)

I dont know if I will ever accurately convey the awesome that is this series. Not only the books though, because as excelent as the books are (the best high fantasy series EVER!), the audio versions are also the best audiobooks I've ever listened to and I am so so sad to see this series end. Carol Monda narrates all 4 books and she is beyond awesome. What an ending! I LOVED the ending and loved this book maybe more than all the rest. Please do yourself a huge favor and grab these audiobooks and you can thank me later! :) 
Book:  ★★★+
Narrator:  ★★★+
Recommended audio? HIGHLY! 


You Look Different In Real Life by Jennifer Castle (Narrated by Samantha Quan) 

This book was a nice surprise for me. I ended up really enjoying it and I think it was really well developed. The plot was always realistic and the friendship dynamics captured me entirely. The reader did a really great job being Justine and the plot was fresh and original. If you love realistic fiction, you will devour this one. Every character was multidimensional and interesting. I loved the diversity within the group, it brought yet another fresh aspect to the novel.

Book:  ★★
Narrator:  ★★★★
Recommended audio? Yep.
