Just picked up shiver myself. I like the cover for perfect. And may I ask what the “longish story” is for I’ll be there? Hate to say I’m just as intrigued by as the books, lol.

Nice books. I’m tackling a Tale of Two Cities this summer, too, for school. Very jealous of Fury and Perfect ;)
Enjoy!

Also, I ordered a copy of I’ll Be There immediately after reading Angie’s review of it. Can’t wait to get it! Looks really good.

I’m so happy you downloaded Shiver, because I’d been meaning to continue pressuring you to read that one. I suppose listening to it is also acceptable. I hope you love your new books!

Great set! Lucky you for Fury. I need to download Shiver ASAP while I can.

Ooh thanks for the Audio Sync plug, downloading Shiver now. Elizabeth Miles lives in my town of Portland, ME and just now realized that AudioFile is based in Portland as well. I just love those local connects ;)
