Raintree: Inferno

This is the first of a phenomenal series written by 3 different authors! This was intriguing and sexy and tantalizing. I couldn't wait to get to the second book - Haunted. If you like little bits of paranormal in your mystery romance novel this one is perfect!!

I've read many books (and listened to them too) that had no conclusive ending and it doesn't generally bother me, but this one cuts off so abruptly that I had to check to make sure I wasn't missing a file. It is LITERALLY only 1/2 a book. So if you can put up with that, the story is not bad. It's a little too heavy on the romance novel kind of genre and there are a lot of explanations on the "powers" that I THOUGHT they were leading up to (but never go into in depth), but it's fairly interesting. Not a heavy read, so if you're looking for a little escapism and don't mind that it is predictable, then go ahead. I do still feel gyped because they didn't publish the whole story...a blatant attempt to sell two books instead of one.

I enjoyed the audio book as far as it went. It got finished before I did. Had to verify that it was not an imcomplete download because it didn't really end. Not going to get the others in the series as they might finish in the same way.

The story was pretty good, though the protagonist was a little too alpha male for me. Also I liked the idea of two narrators (one male, one female). However, the voice of the female narrator quickly got annoying. Her narrator voice was fine, but the character voice for the protagonist female was nasally and winy. It was a quick listen despite that.

Linda Howard is one of my all-time favorite authors. She's written 2 of my favorite paranormal stories, "DREAM MAN" and "SON OF THE MORNING."
In this book "Raintree: Inferno," the sexual tension between Dante and Lorna is sooo electric you can feel your skin tingle!
I agree with other reviewers that the female narrator's intonations did not endear the listener to Lorna's character and is, at times, quite grating on one's nerves (it bothered me too!). Still, if you can ignore the female narrator's voice and concentrate on Stefan Rudnicki's voice (male narrator), you'll enjoy this book.

I can't say that this was a great book. The story was hard to follow because of the narrator. Her voice grated on my nerves to the point that I would have to stop listening after a short time. I will however read the other two books in this series and hope that the other narrators do the books justice.

Though I am a Linda Howard fan, I felt there was a lot missing in the plot of this book. I just recently started listening to audio books and I cannot say that I enjoyed listening to this book either. The voice for the heroin made me cringe. It was like hearing nails on a chalkboard. I hope that the sequels are more enjoyable.

I love Linda Howard books and have them in print, on kindle and audible. This book was ruined by the female narrator. Her nasal tone, volume, pitch, emotion were wrong. It became so irritating that I stopped listening to it. It was just painful. I dreaded hearing her voice. The best narrator for Linda Howard is Natalie Ross (Kill and Tell, After the Night)
