This book is great. There was so much drama and real surprises. Things really happened that I didn't see coming. The narrator in this series is really very good.

The people come to life with the audio, they have a personality

That would give the ending away don't want to do that

consistency, she is very good at keeping the characters voices the same. You always know who is talking.

Could be great detective series only with Vampires.

Out of the norm, unusual story lines with unexpected endings, but still believable in a strange way. Hope this series goes on for years.

I did not like this book for a few reasons. I am surprised that its audible ranking is as high as it is. Here are the reasons I did not like this book.

First off, I hate books where someone dies and the character is lamented over and over. This happened in this book. It drove me crazy.

Second off, the end of this book really was a bit too much for me. I dont want to spoil anything for people, but lets just say it was really out there. Yes, this is a book about vampires, so its already really out there - but come on... sometimes things are just a bit too hoaky.

For the most of the middle half of the book, I was sure I would just give the book a one star rating. It seemed the book was in a holding pattern of nothing exciting happening and Merrit being sad about her loss. The end of the story came quickly, despite its extreme unbelievabilty, it did make the book a bit better, because at least something happened.

This brings me to the third thing that bothered me, *this is a slight spoiler* quit messing with the main characters! Last book, you kill Ethan off in a very unexpected way, this time I was equally unhappy. Cant say more than that without giving too much away - dont want to ruin the surprise. :-)

I really looked forward to this next book in the series as I thoroughly enjoyed the previous four. But I found the story and the characters to be almost fillers along the way until the next installment.

So much of the previously exciting story fell flat as Ethan is in dream sequences that were described in a detached manner. All the evil goings-on were similarly described with little impact in the "real" world. The business side of vampires kind of left me cold and Merit's vampirism has become so ordinary that she sometimes just seemed human.

But still, I have really enjoyed this series and will certainly listen to the next book.

I should start with the fact that I really hated the ending of book 4, so I had a skeptical feeling going into book 5. And the thing I liked least about this book was that it took forever to get to what everyone was waiting for! I actually skipped through it a bit. And I think she "jumped the shark" at the end bringing *SPOILER ALERT* Ethan back that way.

On the positive side, I still enjoy the characters and I am actually looking forward to the next book to see where she will take it. And I really enjoy the reader. I have no problems with her.

loved it great story i would listen to it again

I really expected more from this book. In each of the four previous books Chloe Neil showed growth and greater skill in her writing in each installment. Unfortunately, Drink Deep is a step backwards.

Ms. Neil reverts back to the lazy conversation descriptor "sardonic eyebrow" on several occasions and any ability to describe her environments and bring them to life through words remains absent. Her heroines remain the same vacuous escapees from a high school beauty pageant and the men, supernatural or not, have all the depth of a six -week-old puppy looking for attention. Cynthia Halloway, of whom I'm no fan, only adds to these problems with her atonal Larchmont lockjaw portrayal of these characters.

The plot, if that's what you can call it, was predictable from the beginning. From the aspiration of love from a new suitor to the "ghostly" dream sequences, from the resurrection to Luke coming over to the dark side... oh, wait, that was her girlfriend, Mallory.

Previously, the books have been an amusing read. They have made for a fluffy filler in between novels in my more preferred epic series. Book 5 was simply painful. I'm in no hurry for the next one.

Well, I was nervous to read this after the last book. It seems to drag. The end is ok though. I will continue to listen to the series, but it lost a lot of appeal.
As for the narrator, I hate her!
Still worth a credit.

Because the author, or who ever, changed the reader... I refuse to continue "listing" to any book who changes narrators in the middle of a series.

I've given this book, number 5, low ratings simply because I'm not buying the rest. I'm sure its good, not heard it yet, but thats it.

Not sure who changed it, the author or the reader, but I'm done with this series.

Great series! Couldn't stop listening to it. I wish the next one would hurry up and be released.
