Darkwood Manor

De: Jenna Ryan

Narrado por: Liz Bieler

An estate haunted by over a hundred years of tragedy - and Donovan Black stood at the heart of it. Like Darkwood Manor, Donovan was an utter mystery. An FBI sharpshooter who couldn't break away from his past, he only wanted to make sure that history didn't repeat itself - especially now that the manor had a lovely new owner.

Isabella Ross had either discovered the perfect vacation spot or her final resting place. Now her only hope for survival is a man who doesn't want her around - a man she can't seem to resist. But the secrets in his family's attic threaten to consume them both, and something - or someone - won't rest until the manor house is empty....

Meh

I wanted to like this book. I got to chapter 9 and couldn't take it. The author needs a lot more descriptive words. Characters would change location and I had no idea where they were, how they got there, what they were doing; it was very distracting from the dialog. Finally I just skipped to the last chapter, (before the epilogue), and it told me everything I needed to know. Closure!

Liz Bieler, the narrator, was wonderful! She did a great job alternating between male and female characters. Her narration was animated without sounding overdone.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Any additional comments?

I usually listen to non-fiction audiobooks but I plan on giving fiction another shot.

Good Story but

didnt want to wade thru the sex and romance to finish. I know this supposed to be a romance but the story is great but it gets washed out with the tide of passion. Oh well. On to the next book.

Mystery, Intruige and Romance!

If you could sum up Darkwood Manor in three words, what would they be?

A great gothic romance to listen to!

I felt the voices really made the characters come to life. The narrators tone was smooth and I liked how the voices changed for each person, making it easy to engage with them. I found the narrators voice enhanced the book--- and added another layer of interest for me.

Any additional comments?

I would listen to more books by this narrator........ she allowed me to engage in a guilty pleasure-- "reading" without actually having to read!
