Dead as a Doornail

Sookie Stackhouse Southern Vampire Mystery #5

De: Charlaine Harris

Narrado por: Johanna Parker

Sookie Stackhouse enjoys her life, mostly. She's a great cocktail waitress in a fun bar; she has a love life, albeit a bit complicated, and most people have come to terms with her telepathy. The problem is, Sookie wants a quiet life - but things just seem to happen to her and her friends.

Now her brother Jason's eyes are starting to change: he's about to turn into a were-panther for the first time. She can deal with that, but her normal sisterly concern turns to cold fear when a sniper sets his deadly sights on the local changeling population. She's afraid not just because Jason's at risk, but because his new were-brethren suspect Jason may be the shooter.

Sookie has until the next full moon to find out who's behind the attacks - unless the killer decides to find her first.

Ugh The audio is so annoying

I’ve listened to this series a few times now and everytime I get to this book it’s a shock. The narrator sounds so different all of a sudden. Her voice for Sookie, her tone and expression are exaggerated and just wrong. The actual audio is not great either as there are a lot of mouth sounds. I don’t know what changed behind the scenes when this was recorded but this book is not enjoyable. The difference in the audio keeps me fully separated from the story.

Read the series twice and wan't to read them again

This series is my favorite of my books. It keeps you wanting more and more. A definite must read for all Vampire fans. Just excellent and the Narrator is excellent.

Loved It

Any additional comments?

Great narration. I like to list this first as it can make or break a story.

Loved this story. Easy listerning and very entertaining. Will be impatiently waiting for any new books in audio from this author.

I really enjoy it when readers with similar reading interests list their favourite authors and series. It really helps me find new authors too follow. Mine are Charlaine Harris, Jeaniene Frost, Jennifer Estep, Faith Hunter, Molly Harper, Ilona Andrews, Kresley Cole, Deborah Harkness, Nalini Singh, Coreene Callahan and Sherrilyn Kenyon.

Happy Reading

Great book, sorry about the narrator.

Would you listen to Dead as a Doornail again? Why?

Never in a million years.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I like Erik - and Sookie of course.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

She has the WORST accent and just ruins the book entirely! She isn't a bad narrator but she cannot do mens voices and accents!

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

Yes I got mad and turned it off. I have the written books, thought the audiobook would be great for bed time - but the narrator turned me off it completely. I will read the darned things myself!

Any additional comments?

ugh

Fangs for another Sookie story

This is a solid continuation of the Sookie Stackhouse story - although not my favourite. It still had me listening almost continuously & I find these stories are so much more satisfying than others of the genre. Johanna Parker's narration is a real treat too. I think I could listen to her read a shopping list.

I love the Sookie Stackhouse Series!

I love everything Charlaine Harris does and this is no exception! What a great listen! Thoroughly enjoyable and of course snaps to the narrator who, as always, does a fantastic job!
