Clines: Kills over a dozen human characters,

including several prominent ones and all the Marines, but makes sure that both the cat and the dog are okay. Well, I'm glad Tramp and Glitch are fine. Or at least this Tramp and Glitch.

(spoiler show)

I checked my various Overdrive sources, hoping that one of them would have one of the other audiobooks set in this universe that I haven't listened to before. Sadly, I'm not that lucky. Actually, it looks like the next two works might be Audible audiobooks, in which case I don't think it's possible for libraries to buy them for Overdrive.

Relistening

Familiar Diversions

I finished Binary Witness and needed something new to listen to while working. I have several audiobooks I haven't listened to in my Audible Library, plus access to audiobooks in three different library Overdrive collections, and yet here I am, relistening to this. I just don't want to have to concentrate on a new-to-me story, and Ray Porter's narration is nice. I plan to fast forward through the "romance" part, though, because Clines doesn't do romance or sex scenes well. Thankfully that part is brief.

Patient Zero ★★☆☆☆

Portable Magic

I had high expectations for this, after really enjoying Lullaby. After a little over 20 minutes, though, I had to admit defeat and DNF it. The story wasn't terrible, but it could not catch my interest. Too much testosterone, maybe. I always enjoy Ray Porter's narration, but even he couldn't elevate the material enough to keep me engaged.

Audiobook, borrowed from my public Library via Overdrive.

Interesting concept with some good lyrical narration.

For me, this book didn't feel quite finished. It read more like a draft than an ending piece. I didn't connect with any of the characters, there wasn't a whole lot of plot, and I didn't really get a good feel for the Seep. While I enjoyed the ideas and descriptions of the "soft" invasion, it was really just background to a rather boring journey of a woman finding a new identity. There were some interesting components, but the story felt more like an exploration of topics brought up at a dinner party with friends, rather than a complete book.

This book did some interesting things, but for me it wasn't enough to pull me in or make me think. It just presents some things then lets them slip through its fingers instead of really fleshing out the details or giving them full contemplation.

Overall, an okay read. Not a great fit for me.
