Story4 out of 5 stars 383
Meet Jessica Jones: retired superhero, private investigator, loner. She tried her best to be a shiny spandex crimefighter, but that life only led to unspeakable trauma. Now she avoids that world altogether and works on surviving day-to-day in Hell’s Kitchen, New York. The morning a distraught mother comes into her office, Jessica would prefer to nurse her hangover and try to forget last night’s poor choices. But something about Amber Randall’s story strikes a chord with her. Amber is adamant that something happened to her teenage twins while they were visiting their father in the UK.

A good first installment for Marvel Crime Novels
Reviewed: 07-04-24
Marvel doing a series of crime novels with it's street level heroes is an awesome idea, and after listening to the first book I'm excited for more. The book stayed true to the core of Jessica Jones, while also giving some new elements. Also, touching on Jessica and Luke's relationship, and giving us Danni Cage too, as well as a lot of the subtle mentions of other Marvel characters and elements was very well done. My only issues was the lack of action in the book. Stll, overall, very worth the listen.

Teagan Frost's life is finally back on track. Her role working for the government as a psychokinetic operative is going well, and she might even be on course for convincing her crush to go out with her. But, little does she know, that sh*t is about to hit the fan.... A young boy with the ability to cause earthquakes has come to Los Angeles - home to the San Andreas, one of the most lethal fault lines in the world. If Teagan can't stop him, the entire city - and the rest of California - could be wiped off the map.

Amazing superpowered story

Loved this book, even more than it predecessor. Love the different voices for the different perspectives and how well they paint the picture of the story. I really hope to get an audiobook of the third and upcoming fourth one. Because just reading the book isn't enough.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 146
Dinah Lance was eight years old when she overheard the impossible: the sound of a girl singing. It was something she was never meant to hear - not in her lifetime and not in Gotham City, taken over by the vicious, patriarchal Court of Owls. The sinister organization rules Gotham City as a dictatorship and has stripped women of everything - their right to work, to make music, to learn, to be free.

Black Canary sings a unique tune!!
Reviewed: 01-05-21
When it comes to DC material, especially involving the Batman world, I will most likely give a shot. This is part of the reason I checked this one out, also I am a fan of Black Canary. At first it feels very YA and kinda teen drama in dystopian era Gotham, but once you really get into the story it is really good. Of course, being a fan of the DC Universe, I had to get pass certain inaccuracies like Batman dying of old age before second Black Canary is born when she and Oliver are suppose to be the same age as Batman. Still, how Dinah discovers herself as a hero and how her relationship with Oliver develops is pretty well done. Also, the realistic idea of women having pretty much no rights and power due to a shadow organization like the Court of Owls is intriguing and engaging. All and all, if you are a fan of both the character and the surrounding universe, or of dystopian sci-fi stuff, it is definitely worth checking out.

When The Sandman, also known as Lord Morpheus - the immortal king of dreams, stories and the imagination - is pulled from his realm and imprisoned on Earth by a nefarious cult, he languishes for decades before finally escaping. Once free, he must retrieve the three “tools” that will restore his power and help him to rebuild his dominion, which has deteriorated in his absence.

An Amazing Graphic Novel turned to an Audio-movie
Reviewed: 07-21-20
The Sandman audio drama (audiobook does suit it) is an awesome listening experience that can be enjoyed on it own or while reading the actual graphic novel. The use of amazing voice performances from, especially James, Kat, and Taron, as well as added sound effect makes you feel like you are watching a movie. Also, the way the characters are brought to life is so great. From James versatile portrayal of Dream, Kat's fun loving yet grounded Death, and others that give the story so much life. I turly hope this will not be the last Audible "audio drama" of this caliber, and I truly hope to enjoy more DC and other comic adaptation like this as well.
