Is this the beginning of the end?

I look for to the Abby Cooper mysteries. This book was no different. For the most part I enjoyed it. The mystery was solid, Dutch and Abbey were great. However, the book lost a star with Abby's sister Cat and MJ. #1 I don't like when books go back and forth with the past and present. It doesn't increase the suspense it only becomes a distraction. #2 The inclusion of MJ and Gilley was annoying. The two characters were out of place and didn't add to the progression of the story. They could have been eliminated and Candace and Milo could have played a bigger role in the story. #3 Cat was completely out of character. In the past she has always been a little over the top. But she has never been so obnoxious and over bearing. I expected her to plan an extravagant wedding, but I also expected the wedding to be sophisticated and stylish. The wedding that she planned did not reflect anyone's style. It was actually tacky and offensive. If it was meant to include humor into the story it fell far from it's mark. #4 although Abby's parents were mentioned in the book and it was explained why they would not be attending the wedding, I expected them to attend anyway. In previous books they were described as social climbers and wanting to be in the center of attention. Plus they have a relationship with Cat. The addition of the parents could have served as comic relief and unnecessary drama instead of including MJ and Gilley, and going back and forth with the past and present. I found myself skipping through the book at some points because it was too much. I will buy the next book but if it continues to over exaggerate comic situations I might have to say goodbye to Abby and Dutch.

I'm Forecasting a Big HIT!!!!

This series keeps getting better and better, it's a MUST READ!

I think this is might be my favorite of the Psychic Eye Mysteris. I love that Victoria added M.J. and Gillie to help out on this adventure. Hopefully they will pop in more often in the future and maybe work together to solve the next mystery.

Narration is fabulous as usual too!

Congrats Victoria, this book was FANTASTIC, looking forward to reading it a 2nd time!

Whoa. What happened to Bryce

Everything was great except.... in an effort to give other people a different voice she made Bryce sound like a whiny baby. No man as good looking as he is supposed to be would sound like that 🙂. I hope his voice is different in the next book. It was hard listening to it in this one.

Thrilling

thrilling as usual and the characters feel like friends looking forward to the next book

Confusing!

I have liked all the Abby Cooper books, until now. I found this book very confusing, switching back and forth from present to future. I also felt like this story was forced. I didn't enjoy it at all, but I had to keep listening to find out if Abby and Dutch finally get married. Spoiler Alert: What do you think?

Jumps in time too much!

Love the series but this one is hard to follow because it keeps jumping in time from before the wedding to after then back and forth many times. The transitions are not well defined and it takes away from an otherwise good story figuring out pre or post wedding action.

what happen to Brice?

Would you try another book from Victoria Laurie and/or Elizabeth Michaels?

Yes...I would read more of Victoria Laurie... I've read (or listen to) all eleven books in books in row in a matter of a few weeks. And I liked the story line.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

I do not know what happen to Brices voice... in this book he sounds like an old lady. I was almost not able to listen. .. I even went back to the other books and his voice was fine, but this voice was horrible.

Any additional comments?

Reissue with the original Brice voice... how could this have been released. ...

Good, but not my favorite

The story was good, it just appeared to be needlessly long. Also, what happened to Brice Harrison's voice. It was different and very distracting. But I still love Abby and the gang.

Love the Premise of the Psychic Eye Series, But...

What made the experience of listening to Deadly Forecast the most enjoyable?

The swearing that Abby does is just out of control. The author has her say all the time "swearing doesn't count..." and gives an instance. ENOUGH ALREADY!!! It is a great book series, but Yikes is about all that is needed as an exclamation.

Would you recommend Deadly Forecast to your friends? Why or why not?

Oh, yes, here is my other beef: Abby eats junk food and supposedly is slim. This makes for truly fictional story. At least her best bud eats well.

Which scene was your favorite?

I really like how committed Abby and Dutch are, how Abby loves her friends, how patient she is with Kat, and is a all-around caring person (but with a big bad mouth on her). Perhaps the author is trying to balance Abby's goodness with a lousy vocabulary in moments of difficulty. Whatever it is, nix the bad language; okay?

What a wedding

Great story line kept you drawn in the whole time. Never would have guessed the bad guy.
