    Story

    I really enjoyed this book as it doesn't focus on one event happening to Rachel but there's a series of things that happen to her which keeps it interesting. Another reviewer didn't like how Rachel objectified men by expressing attraction to some of the men in the book. IDK, when one sees someone of the opposite sex that is attractive - one appreciates the view - I don't know what the big deal is. Wasn't a main point in the book. If you liked the other books in the series - you will definitely like this one.

    What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

    4 hours into a 10 hour book and the 2 romantic leads still have yet to have any meaningful interaction. They're association is barely better moved along then it was at the beginning of the story. Additionally, their personalities are so uninteresting - as much fun as watching paint dry. There really was nothing engaging or entertaining about this book what so ever. After wasting 4 hours I couldn't bring myself to listen to the rest. I gave the book more then enough time to pick up and become good.


    What could Karen Witemeyer have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

    A more interesting storyline, relationship of the two leads progress faster, have the leads actually have a personality beyond shy and or uptight


    Would you be willing to try another one of Therese Plummer’s performances?

    Sure


    What character would you cut from To Win Her Heart?

    The sheriff interested in the female lead


    Any additional comments?

    I will never get a book from this author again

    With her knack for being in trouble's way, Sookie witnesses the firebombing of Merlotte's, the bar where she works. Since Sam Merlotte is now known to be two-natured, suspicion falls immediately on the anti-shifters in the area. Sookie suspects otherwise, but her attention is divided when she realizes that her lover, Eric Northman, and his "child", Pam, are plotting to kill the vampire who is now their master. Gradually, Sookie is drawn into the plot - which is much more complicated than she knows.

    Is there anything you would change about this book?

    The ending, left too many questions unanswered/resolved so it didn't feel like a complete story as a result.


    What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

    Incomplete


    Any additional comments?

    Sookie just seems like a really weak minded female and it gets annoying. How can one be so conflicted with a circumstance she was OK with for years? She acts like everything is a surprise when its in line with everything she's experienced before.

    Clouds are brewing over Cadogan House, and recently turned vampire Merit can't tell if this is the darkness before the dawn or the calm before the storm. With the city itself in turmoil over paranormals and the state threatening to pass a paranormal-registration act, times haven't been this precarious for vampires since they came out of the closet. If only they could lay for a bit, and let the mortals calm down. But that's when the waters of Lake Michigan suddenly turn pitch black - and things really start getting ugly.

    I liked the storyline, it held my interest. The ending was unexpected and very welcome because the ending of the last book was so disappointing. For those upset about the last book they should really listen to this one before passing judgement. Everything ties together in the end.

    Times are hard for newly minted vampire Merit. Ever since shapeshifters announced their presence to the world, humans have been rallying against supernaturals---and they're camping outside of Cadogan House with protest signs that could turn to pitchforks at any moment. Inside its doors, things between Merit and her Master, green-eyed heartbreaker Ethan Sullivan, are tense.

    Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

    Yes, enjoyable story


    Would you be willing to try another book from Chloe Neill? Why or why not?

    I will reluctantly listen to the listen to the next in the series - but the ending of this one ended one of the main storylines and you never get the happy ending you assume was meant to come.


    Which scene was your favorite?

    When Merit wants to sleep next to Ethan.

    Gail Carriger created a fascinating steampunk vision of Victorian England in her “intoxicatingly witty” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) debut novel Soulless—the first in the best-selling Parasol Protectorate series. Changeless is the second in the series and finds Alexia Tarabotti, now the Lady Woolsey, quite put out after her werewolf husband goes missing. So, armed with her trusty parasol, Alexia boards a dirigible and heads for Scotland to find him.

    Most of the book is setting up the story and it really doesn't get good until the last quarter of the book. The first half of the book really feels like a waste of time


    What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

    I was disappointed that just as the book was starting to have action and a progression in the storyline - it ended with an unresolved problem

    We're the D'Artigo sisters: Half-human, half-Faerie, we're savvy---and sexy---operatives for the Otherworld Intelligence Agency. But our mixed-blood heritage short-circuits our talents at all the wrong times. My sister Camille is a wicked-good witch whose magic is as unpredictable as the weather. My sister Delilah transforms into a tabby cat at the worst possible times. And me? I'm Menolly, acrobat-extraordinaire-turned-vampire.

    This book spends too much time going over the sisters' histories needlessly. It seems like the author didn't have enough to make the book long enough so she just reiterated information we already knew about the characters.

    Don't re-hash old info


    Was Demon Mistress worth the listening time?

    eh

    I wish the characters had more going on in their lives, personalities and everything in general then sex.

But her insight failed her when she didn't foresee the death of one of her clients - or that the lead investigator for the case is the gorgeous blind date she just met. Now, with the police suspicious of her abilities and a killer on the loose, Abby's future looks more uncertain than ever.

    What made the experience of listening to Abby Cooper, Psychic Eye the most enjoyable?

    I really liked this book as it was entertaining and engaging. I enjoyed the mystery unfolding and the budding romance. I didn't find it predictable - though maybe others solved the murder way ahead of time, but I wasn't just trying to enjoy the ride and not solve the mystery. I liked that Laurie is going slowly with the budding romance and isn't having them jump between the sheets ASAP. I definitely recommend this book and I look forward to listening to the next in the series.


    Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

    Waiting to see how the mystery was going to play out. Wondering if she and dutch were going to take it to the next level.

When I solicited him to model for my erotic photography book, I didn't expect such a heated, passionate photo session. And now that we've crossed that line, our bodies aren't the only things that have been exposed."

    Would you try another book from Megan Hart and/or Lauren Fortgang?

    Probably not


    Has Naked turned you off from other books in this genre?

    No, just turned off to the author


    What does Lauren Fortgang bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    Well, she's good at creating distinct characters


    What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

    Annoyance. This book was one giant excuse to have a ton of sex scenes, I know entirely too much about Olivia's crotch area. The story is weak and there is no romance or romantic chemistry between the lead characters. Crazy how Olivia's best friend, Patrick, was so quickly extracted from her life after they were so tight for years. A lot of the things seem a bit random and don't make sense. The only reason I gave the book 2 stars overall instead of 1 is because I could bring myself to finish it.

    What did you like best about The Bone Doll's Twin? What did you like least?

    I like the premise of the story. That the story didn't evolve more during the book


    What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

    This whole story was a set up for the next book. I kept waiting for the story to evolve into some interesting conclusion but it ended like a dud. In a series - there has to be a complete story and then a cliff hanger for the next book. It shouldn't be one giant set up for the next book. I won't be listening to the rest of the series.


    Which character – as performed by Victor Bevine, and Lynn Flewelling – was your favorite?

    n/a


    Do you think The Bone Doll's Twin needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

    There has to be a follow up book as this book was one big set-up for the next book


    Any additional comments?
