"Deadly Nightshade"
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?Yes, I love Victor J. Banis' Deadly Series. I hope all of the Deadly books will be in audio eventually.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Deadly Nightshade?The moments with when Stanley realizes how beautiful Tom was and how misguided his affections are. The mystery itself is really fun. This is for adults.
What about Roy Wells’s performance did you like?He reads the book, does not really get into the characters but the reading is good and the story is clear.
If you could take any character from Deadly Nightshade out to dinner, who would it be and why?Stanley, he is a hoot. Fun and tough at the same time. You don't really think about how tough gay men are until you read something like this.
Any additional comments?I hope the rest of this series is done in audio.

"It just stopped"
After listening to the book for about 15 minutes I almost deleted it. The narration would not have been my first choice. I decided to continue and I got sucked in. I guess I was curious how the author was going to twist out a happy ending. The social rift between the two characters was very strong. Rather than find this ending the book just stopped. Perhaps it will show itself later in the series.

"The ending left me scratching my head."
Any additional comments?Spoiler alert: The book was funny, flowed well and the story was original. (Wasn't very hard to figure out who the bad guy was though.) There was a severe lack of character development (all characters) I felt would have made this book great. The Narrator wasn’t horrible but he wasn’t that great either. In some parts of the story his inflections were off. Not making a question sound like a sentence, not delivering sarcasm in the intended form, showing surprise when there wasn’t a call for it. I lovedry humor but it has to be read well and sadly this wasn’t. It was difficult to follow the dialog because of his reading. Here is the spoiler alert: The major problem I had was the ending. I only like happy endings in the books I read. This was not. The ending wasn’t written in a way that left me on pins and needles to see a sequel. This book had all the elements of a great romance book but the ending was so real life I felt in the end I had just read something from the Oprah book club. Not my preference. I do not know yet if I even want to find out if they get their stuff together in the future.
