TREASURES (audiobook)
A story of family... the Osbornes -- two sisters and a brother --
united by family ties but split apart by different dreams. Lara, the
happy young wife, longs for the family that will make her life whole.
Connie, wild and lovely, is more like her brother Eddy -- bright,
ambitious, and ready to seize all that life has to offer. A story of
choices... Connie is looking for wealth -- to make or to marry. Lara,
staying behind in a small Ohio town, finds everything she cherishes
threatened by fate and by her own blind commitment. And Eddy, as Wall
Street's "wonder boy," can make millions... if he ruthlessly uses his
family and friends. A story of marriages... Lara's held together by
devotion, Connie's shattered by infidelity and betrayal, and Eddy's
rocked by shame and prison. Torn by conflicting loyalties, they are a
family caught in the tides of scandal... and swept toward a fate where
dreams may end or be born again.

Setting aside his wildly popular Forgotten Realms books for the moment, Bob Salvatore continues to wade into his character-development-heavy Demon Wars saga with this meaty kickoff to the latest DW series. If you're familiar with the series (and if you're not, start with The Demon Awakens), you know that this ain't Icewind Dale. The generously developed characters take center stage, and they--much to our initial dismay, perhaps--are far from invincible. (More than a few hearts were broken when Elbryan the Nightbird, Touel'alfar-trained ranger extraordinaire, bit the dust in the last book, Demon Apostle.)

unabridged audiobook + text
The Demon trilogy by R.A. Salvatore began with The Demon Awakens and continues with The Demon Spirit. Corona is a fantasy world regularly menaced by the "demon dactyl" who organizes the usual suspects--goblins, dwarfs, giants--in hope of wiping out humanity. Having been comprehensively blown up in book one, the now bodiless demon resorts to corrupting the soul of the abbot who is Corona's chief religious leader. It's an easy task, since despite a few good monks the church is already a murderous, hypocritical outfit.
R. A. Salvatore - Demon Wars 03 - The Demon Apostle
unabridged audiobook + text
This is the third installment of Salvatore's Demon trilogy that starts with The Demon Awakens and The Demon Spirit.
Once again the demon dactyl of Corona seems defeated. Ranger Elbryan Wyndon goes north to protect the new settlers from goblins and powries, but his beloved Jilseponie returns to Palmaris. There Father Abbot Markwart is consolidating his power over Church and State with the aid of gemstone magic and the demon's power. Pony's determination to stop the evil abbots puts her and Elbryan in deadly peril, for even the king has been turned against them.
