OMG!!!!!!!!

OMG what a great series. I love the "in Death" books. If you like romance, murder, mystery and suspense this is for you.

Enjoyable but predictable

Would you listen to Ceremony in Death again? Why?

Well actually I have listened to it again when I didn't anything new and enjoyed it the second time as well.

What other book might you compare Ceremony in Death to and why?

Don't usually read this type of ficton so can't really comment

What does Susan Ericksen bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

You get to know the characters, it really is like there are different people telling thes stories

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No

Secondary Characters were my favorite.

Any additional comments?

These are not "heavy" storyline books, but are fun to listen to. Peabody and Rourke were my favorites in this one with their subtle humor as well as the magic/evil aspect. As always, the narrator makes these books their best!

A great addition to this wonderful series

Any additional comments?

I am addicted to this wonderful exciting series. J D Robb has a way of making you want more, so more i will have :)

Holy crap!!!

First of all... I love this narrator. Her voice is not only soothing, but clear. She’s got voices for everyone and her comedic timing is impeccable. I can feel and even see the book in my mind as clear as a movie, the way she narrates the story.

The book itself... just fucking wow. Nora Roberts is talented. And more than that, she’s thorough. This book dips very deep into the occult and paganism. Having done many years of my own research into said topics, I say with pride and appreciation that Nora Roberts is the first fictional writer (for books, tv shows or films for that matter) to use accurate information on witchcraft and the occult. Either she’s a witch herself or she spent a great deal of time doing much of the same research I’ve done myself. Satanists and witches/wicans/pagans, while they might have similar styles of practice, are vastly different. Both in creed and in beliefs. She explores the ignorant sides of today’s reactions to the subject of the occult but she also presents the facts. Unfolds them as Eve investigates further into her case. Eventually she even explains the difference between witches and satanists. And let me tell you, almost all of her interpretations of the two religions are true. The only deviations I could find, I firmly believe were more due to plot progression than Roberts personal beliefs on the subject.

Long story short, I’m thrilled and pleased to have read a book that so accurately depicts a lifestyle and religion that’s hard pressed for more positive representation in the media and entertainment industries. She was already an amazing author to me before I read this one. Now...? She’s the best!!!!

Easy to follow

Good reading series, not hard to follow and characters are unique. Bit of suspense, romance and murder!

Great story

Great story!! A little different than her others! I can't wait to read the next one!

My favorite one yet!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I do constantly! I recommend this series to most of my friends. We all like the cop shows on TV and this series reminds me of Law and Order or something.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

YES. I love the incorporation of Wicca. Very good plot in this one.

Which character – as performed by Susan Ericksen – was your favorite?

II love them all! I cant pick just one favorite, but her narration of the men, Rourke particularly, is very impressive. I plan on getting all of the books!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes! I listen to them at work so it makes me excited to go back to work the next morning to see what happens!

Loved it. i hate having to write these things.

i hate having to write thede things. i loved it. that is all I haveto say about it.
