Born to Darkness

Yes! I've already listened to it a second time. The story is terrifyingly plausible in its plot.

No one can give you an adrenaline rush like Suzanne Brockmann. She takes you from 0 to 100 miles an hour in seconds with heart pounding action and rapid-fire dialog. I met a whole new cast of characters of diverse paranormal talents from telepathy, telekinesis, to dream projections and beyond. But, most importantly, Suzanne Brockmann creates characters of toughness and tenderness, strength and vulnerability, integrity, tenacity and compassion. Characters I can't help but love. And woven into all this are three very sweet, very different, love stories. So I feel like I've been double (triple) dipping!

Patrick and Melanie are exceptionally talented narrators. They have the ability to increase the adrenaline by ramping up the action scenes and then dialing it way down for a tender love scene. Each character is infused with their own special personality. I don't know how they work their magic, but that's exactly what it is! They both seem to have a particular gift for understanding Suzanne Brockmann's wit and humor and give an excellent performance, especially in delivering the snappy dialog and the irreverent banter of the characters. In my opinion, Patrick Lawlor is one of the most gifted narrators available today. I will frequently shop for audiobooks by looking for what he has available. And I am so glad to see that Melanie Ewbank has returned. She is a strong and talented narrator and I look forward to hearing more of her work.

I loved Born To Darkness. I can't wait for the next installment in the Fighting Destiny series.

I was really suprised with how much I liked this book. I love the Troubleshooters series. I easily relate to the military lifestyle and jargon etc. Her characters are awesome and very relatable. Nothing has changed here. What kind of threw me was the sci-fi addition of the story. Brockmann did an excelent job there too. The narrators did their usual fantastic job. You will recognize the voices of your favorite characters from Troubleshooters in here too, that might throw you for a minute but these characters are solid also. I won't give away any spoilers here. If you are a Brockmann fan you won't be disappointed.

I would definitely recommend this book - there was a lot going on. 3 separate romances, trying to figure out a new "world". I am not usually a fan of sci-fi but I really enjoyed this book and was disappointed when it ended - because it totally left us hanging and somewhat confused.

I loved the vulnerability of the characters

Can't really say without giving away too much

Are you Greater than.........

Hated the ending - it just left you hanging. I realize there will probably be a sequel but I like the first book to actually have an ending. This had a to be continued.

Among the top, as Brockmann is a favorite author, this is not surprising. What is, however, is the supernatural in the novel. I was a little leery of how it would work, but have to admit it was done to perfection. I hope to enjoy this new Series as much as I have the Trouble Shooters so far. I cannot wait until the next Fighting Destiny book is out.

I wanted nothing more than to keep listening until the end in one sitting, but the story was too long for such an endeavor.

Edit it by 25 percent. Move the plot of finding the young girl forward.

Probably not.

Mac and Shane

I wasn't ready for the gay sex and the men spooning. I'm fine with gay characters in the story, but this could have been a very interesting science fiction boo. It got off on graphic sexual tangents. I felt there was too much nuance on the various psychic powers. I abandoned the story about 8 hours in. The main plot was the rescue of a kidnapped teen, and I kept waiting for that plot to move forward, but it kept dwelling on how various touching and sexual contact increased the powers of the characters. I was in the middle of a research study. To me, that got old.

Born to Darkness ranks in the Top 10% of all of the Books I have read or listen to.

Elliot - Honest, smart, caring, and a true person. Not imposing or afraid to take a risk.

Mac was my favorite character. Mac really cared about the young girls in trouble, and would risk her life for them and her friends.

Several scenes were great. The one where Elliot and Steven discovered the attraction and need for each other was special.

Great book. I can't wait for the next book in this series. I will be waiting.

I would say this is a book I will listen too again and again. I am sure I missed things with so many twists and turns.

Shane! he did not give up no matter what. Mac is a tough women to love she is a bit like a hedgehog, prickle until you can get her to open up and feel the soft underbelly.

So many twists and turns in the plot.

This book brings the Troubleshooter's Series to the table.

The 'waking up

Yes but impossible to do.

This could be as great a series as the Troubleshooters.

The story is hard to listen to due to rape, torture and murder of little girls - usually enjoy Suzanne Brockmann books but the villians were just too awful.

I would buy another book but not in this series (it seems it will be a series as questions were left unanswered)

I like these 2 narrators and have enjoyed them narrating previous SB books.

I kept taking my headphones off to let the story continue without me listening - never want to hear little girls tortured and screaming.

Sexy characters and would have enjoyed this much more without all the details of the crimes being committed.

I loved this book. It was a bit long in some places but worth it. I was a bit off on the things that happened in parts of the book. Such as graphic upsetting parts on what happened to the young girls. The graphic sex parts was fine with me as I have listened to other books by SB. I know some would find it too much. So it would be nice if audible would add something to say there is such things as graphic sex talk. Same sex love senese. So some people would know what's ahead for them. I was OK with all of it. And as always Suzanne Brockmann did not disapoint me.
