50% of The Voice on the Radio was just Reeve retelling the first two books. (

Continuation of the Janie series. This time it mainly focused on Reeve who has gone to college and become a DJ. He uses his time at the station to broadcast "janies" which are stories about Janie's kidnapping. (

I am still enjoying this series, however, with each book I dislike Reeve more and more. I didn't like him in the first book, all he cared about was sex. I understand that is how most teenage boys are but it made it very difficult to believe that he really cared for Janie they way she described that he did. He was ok in the second book but in this one he was just a complete ass! Hoping he will redeem himself by the end of the series but I am already half way through the fourth book and it isn't looking good. Other than that I love everything else about these books! (
