Story
In this award-winning Audible Studios production, Trevor Noah tells his wild coming-of-age tale during the twilight of apartheid in South Africa. It’s a story that begins with his mother throwing him from a moving van to save him from a potentially fatal dispute with gangsters, then follows the budding comedian’s path to self-discovery through episodes both poignant and comical.

Story
Seventeen-year-old Ryann Carroll thought she knew who she was - a small-town Southern girl just trying to survive her parents' messy divorce and find some peace for herself. She thought she knew what she wanted - a summer job, a car, a first date that didn't suck, and no complications from a serious relationship. But now, she's not only in love, but her boyfriend, Lad, is a member of an ancient race that's lived secretly among humans for thousands of years. Things could hardly get more complicated than that.

Story
Seventeen-year-old Lad knows the law of his people all too well: Don't get careless and don't get caught. It's allowed his race to live undetected in this world for thousands of years, mentioned only in flawed and fading folklore...Lad's never been able to forget about Ryann since that night 10 years ago. When he sees her again, his fascination re-ignites and becomes a growing desire that tempts him to break all the rules. He's not even supposed to talk to a human, much less fall in love with one.

I love to listen to ya books. This one didn't disappoint. It is my first book by this author, and it would not be the last. The story is excellent, different from the regular elf story. The narrator does a great job switching between female/male voice.

Ever since Reyes Farrow escaped from a hell dimension in which Charley Davidson accidentally trapped him, the son of Satan has been brimstone-bent on destroying the world his heavenly Brother created. His volatile tendencies have put Charley in a bit of a pickle. But that's not the only briny vegetable on her plate.

First of all I love this narrator, her voice is the soul of Charlie! 12th is one more book of the series and one more time no boring moments. I don't know how Mrs Jones does it to keep a series with 12 books so refreshing. love it!

In Hemlock Hollow, life isn't easy, but it is simple. Things in my community haven't changed much in over 300 years, since the time my Amish ancestors came to what is now the Green Republic. I milk my cow by hand, make fresh bread every morning, and hope to be courted by Jeremiah, a boy I've known since childhood. When my father falls ill, the English doctor says a hospital outside the wall can heal him. Jeremiah convinces me to go on rumspringa, to experience the outside world as an Englisher.

Interesting Concept
Reviewed: 09-18-17
What did you love best about Grounded?
What a different concept. It's a dystopia, it's paranormal, and it has Amish people in the story!
Who was your favorite character and why?
I love the H and the contrast of his relationship with the h and Jeremy. I love how the heroine grows along the story. Proving how strong and independent she can be.
What does Valerie Gilbert bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
She just not only narrates but interpreted like an actress. Love even her male voice, and usually, I hate when the female does the male voice!
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
no

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
If you are a huge fan of the series, it may be worth reading, otherwise just read a review with spoilers. You will not miss much.
What do you think your next listen will be?
The Throne of Glass.
How could the performance have been better?
The accent was a bit too much but maybe is the story.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
disappointment because it feels like a filler.
