Would you try another book from Kyra Davis and/or Gabra Zackman?

Yes, I am a fan of this series. this book was not my favorite

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

Maybe clear the mis-understanding up sooner, and not have her whine the first part of the book. This book for me was painful to get through.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

I think the narrator was fine as always. It was this book

Do you think Vanity, Vengeance and a Weekend In Vegas needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

Yes, this cast of characters are still some of my favorites

Dr. Melanie Lipton is no stranger to the supernatural. She knows immortals better than they know themselves, right down to their stubborn little genes. So although a handsome rogue immortal seems suspicious to her colleagues, Sebastien Newcombe intrigues Melanie. His history is checkered, his scars are impressive, and his ideas are daring. But it's not his ideas that have Melanie fighting off surges of desire.... Bastien is used to being the bad guy. In fact, he can't remember the last time he had an ally he could trust. But Melanie is different....

Ever since he saved Dr. Mackenzie Grant's life, panther, shifter, and sorcerer Kalen Black has had trouble keeping the beautiful doctor out of his thoughts and his heart. The brush with death awakened an intense passion between them - one that for the first time had the notorious loner letting down his guard. With the Alpha Pack battling an evil Fae who is slowly gaining control over Kalen's mind, Kalen can no longer trust his own actions, and he breaks off his affair with Mackenzie in order to keep her safe. But when Mackenzie learns that she is carrying Kalen's child, no amount of danger will keep her away from the man she loves.

What would have made Black Moon better?

Maybe if he had resisted evil throughout the book instead of at the very end and if it had a better herione it would have been better

Has Black Moon turned you off from other books in this genre?

no I like this genre

Would you be willing to try another one of Kirsten Potter’s performances?

Sure, I guess the narrator can only work with what she is given

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

No, I expected more after the first two books

Awakening after all this time in a world of absolute darkness and oppressive heat, Dax wonders in how many ways the world above must have changed. But it is how he has changed that fills him with dread and loathing. Buried alive for hundreds of years in a volcano in the Carpathian Mountains, Dax fears that he has become the full-fledged abomination that every Carpathian male fears, a victim of the insidious evil that has crept relentlessly into his mind and body over the centuries.

Overall, I like the couple and how they interacted.

Which scene was your favorite?

I liked how some of our favorite characters interacted with each other

Any additional comments?

Window Rock, Arizona, is the last known location of Honor Roberts, who vanished when she was just 13. It was her only sanctuary from the Breed research that would surely have ended in her death - one such insidious experiment should, indeed, have killed her. That she lived is both a miracle - and a great mystery. Stygian's mission is to find Honor Roberts, no matter the cost. Now, with the help of Liza Johnson, assistant to the chief of the Navajo Nation, he is closer than ever to his goal. But will the discovery of Honor Roberts mean the destruction of the mating heat that has developed between Stygian and Liza?

What would have made Stygian's Honor better?

It would have been better if the book was shorter. I felt like I was listening to the same chapter over and over.

What could Lora Leigh have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

The book could have been much shorter. I guess the plot after the first chapter

What didn’t you like about Brianna Bronte’s performance?

I didn't enjoy the book so it made listening to her performance unpleasant

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Stygian's Honor?

I would have cut half the book

Any additional comments?

I don't recoment this one. The book was too long and the heroine unpleasant
