After listening to the other 5 books, I was of course anticipating the completion of the series...however, this particular installment was drawn out, boring, and left many loose ends and unanswered questions; such as....what the heck happened to the kitsunai who gave stephan the bouquet? We never heard anything else about him, and the whole subject of stephan becoming human was just forgotten...I did notice, that though this was to be the completion of the series, the door WAS left open for more books....

I always enjoy the twists and turns...once Sookie gets out of one situation she falls right into another.I am happy with the way the series was wrapped up....despite all the "team Eric / team Bill" nonsense, it was always inconceivable for Sookie to end up with either of them, and there has always been an undercurrent throughout the series, that if you paid attention, led you to Sookie and Sam ending up together. It was blazingly obvious at the end of the last book, but the author didn't do the cheesy "and they lived happily ever after" ending, she made it very realistic and kept Sookie true to herself first. Before buying this book I read a lot of complaints about this and that, how the series had been going downhill, etc., and I disagree with all of that. Yes, it would have been nice for Sookie to ask Bill how Bubba was doing, so we would know what became of him, but the book coming out in October should take care of that.

None that I can think of....

Unlike some narrators, she has been consistent with the voices of the characters throughout the entire 13 books, so you are never confused about who is speaking.

Yes

I think, after reading some highly uncomplimentary reviews of this book, that people should remember that this is fiction, for entertainment purposes, and ultimately the author's creation. Anyone who feels so strongly that this book is crap is more than welcome to write something better.....

Love Jess from Dance with the Devil, and glad to see him get a story, but I'm very confused...I downloaded this book the day it came out, and listened to it many times, as it was so very different from the other DH books, with the native American theme and all.....
Then, in anticipation of the upcoming "Time Untime" I listened to it again this week, and it was different ...I mean, the end was different.... Much more detail, and I am VERY confused....

He really has no range.... All his characters sound "American" despite the discriptions of their ethnic backgrounds....While, in comparison to Maggie meg reed, carrington macduffie, and (shudder) William Dupree, he's the lessor of all evils, he can't seem to remember that he's done these books before, and doesn't carry through with his characters.... The main discrepancy being Nick, but there are many more....Sin, Zarek, Dev, etc.

Probably, out of morbid curiosity

The narrators nailed it..... I loved all "Amy"'s sarcasm.....The narrator did such a good job that I can easily forgive her one mispronounciation.....it's Fes-teeeeee-va....

And the twists and turns....don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't read it yet, but it was totally " M. Knight Shayamalon" for me.....things you totally didn't see coming....

Nick, of course.....

Wondering if the very unpleasant, mind-boggling, unsatisfying ending for poor Nick might be leading up to a sequel?

Sherrilyn, yes, Maggi, no

One that was not included in the audio abridged version

She had a very annoying voice

Trust me, this book has been butchered enough, and anyone who follows the series would agree that integral parts were cut from the audio. As an editor, I'd put them back...

yes, PLEASE....Re-do this audio book UNABRIDGED, with Holter Graham or Fred Burman, who have done the rest of the series....

It's definitely a different type of story than I usually listen to

The personal journey Christian undertakes to make a better life for himself and Ana.

Where to start? She does better in sounding more mature in regards to Ana's character, losing the "valley girl" intonations, but Christian and Jack Hyde sound absolutely ridiculous! Who talks like that? I didn't have a problem with those characters in book one....

And she definitely hasn't learned to correctly pronounce several words....

I listen to books constantly as I don't have time to sit down and read them myself.

I really think the author should be consulted when choosing a narrator to insure that the audio comes off the way she meant it to when she wrote it....

Not sure how I ended up with this version, but I don't think this narrator took a breath through the whole book. She reads at warp speed, but I can't listen at warp speed, and the hissing sound of her 'S's grated on my nerves...
