"A deliciously witty, funny must read/listen"
A scintillating novel, witty dialogue, funny storyline and compelling characters. This is a first rate chapter in the Nice Girl Universe. Amanda Ronconi is the perfect narrator for Molly Harper's novels. She interprets the nuances and intentions of the author superbly. The narration adds to the pleasure of this novel.
"Narration Disappoints"
Narration
Yes
Eve, Peabody & Dr Mira all sound the sound alike. There is no passion in the narration.
As always the plot is superb. The narration is so disappointing. Eve, Peabody & Dr Mira all sound the sound alike. What happened?
"A cure for insomnia"
Not listing to it.
Never in audio.
Irrelevant
In audio format, all but the last chapter
i enjoy reading Ms Hatcher's novels but this is a novel not meant for audio. The plot and pace of novel are too slow. I fell asleep listing to it. The only way to get through it, is to skip chapters. Read it, don't listen to it.
"Mind numbing boredom"
Lack of decent plot, weak characters and dreadful narration
No
Most of the characters have dreadful British or wheezing, "I am at death's door" accents. The child sounds like a mouse high on crack. The narration does not brighten the mood or experience.
Half the book
This is the most disappointing and unsatisfying (and last) of all Lynsay Sand's novels I have read/heard. Her novels have progressively lost their zest. I keep buying them and hoping the original exhilaration will return but alas no, this one is the worst. The most interesting character is the dog. The intriguing, multifaceted characters of the previous novels appear as poor imitations, the main characters of this novel are dull and flat. The plot is unerring in its intention to drive the reader/listener to commit ritual suicide. The dreadful narration adds to the depression.
"Great Narration of a Great Read"
One of my favorite novels. A great plot with witty & funny characters. The narration does it justice, it is a pleasure to listen to.
"A Must Read"
Molly Harper just improves with every novel. I enjoyed it thoroughly. A super plot, intriguing characters, witty conversation. The best of the Nice Girls novels.
"Truly dreadful"
The most interesting part of the book was the bad knees of the male lead. The narration is unspeakably Awfull.
"Stunning Novel - Dreadful Naration"
I am a fan of Kerrelyn Sparks. This was the first of her books I read and remains one of my favorites. The female lead is a strong, take charge character. The male lead an agonized, without being annoying handsome vampire. A funny, interesting plot. The narration however was most disappointing. All accents -Scottish, Russian, Brazilian- sound the same. The heroine even when in mortal danger sounds as if she is on the brink of an orgasm or ready to sing "happy birthday Mr President" a la Marilyn Monroe. The narrator also appears to have been on a tight deadline as the narration is abnormally fast.
"Average"
The narration is average and unsuitable. . The novel was so-so. The characters are strong and inserting but the plot is terrible. The villains just don't die. I had to FF. The last words of the main characters at the end of the novel with the bad narration are vomit worthy.
"Splendid"
This is a book well worth reading but most enjoyable listening to. Amanda does justice to the characters and the plot. The novel is a worthy new chapter in the "Nice Girl" universe with delightfully funny and charming characters, (the requisite surly vampires hero) and a riveting plot. Molly Harper's vampire novels are the only ones that do not want me to stake and bake the vampires.
