One Silent Night

A Dark-Hunter Novel

De: Sherrilyn Kenyon

Narrado por: Fred Berman

While the world carries on unawares, Stryker, who leads an army of demons and vampires, is plotting an all out onslaught against his enemies—which, unfortunately for us, includes the entire human race. To avenge his sister, Stryker prepares to annihilate the Dark-Hunters. But things go awry when his oldest enemy returns. Enter his ex-wife. Zephyra. Just when he thought nothing could stop him, he's now embroiled in a centuries old war with a shrew who gives new meaning to pain.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"This series puts a contemporary spin on classical mythology...irresistible." (Publishers Weekly)

“A new twist on the gods of mythology, ONE SILENT NIGHT continues the saga of the conflict between gods and men. Never skipping a beat, mega-talented Sherrilyn Kenyon creates a fast moving plot that doesn't stop and with characters that stretch the imagination. An incredible read.” —Single Titles

“Brisk, ironic, sexy, and relentlessly imaginative.” —Boston Globe

worst narration ever

I loved these Dark Hunter books, but frankly, I can barely stand to listen to this one. I just can't stomach the narration. I have never said this before about an audio selection and am usually pretty easy to please when it comes to narrater if I like the story, but he bugs me so much it is ruining the story. I am going to read this one myself and abandon listening.

Endured

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

I love the series and this was the first book I can truly say " I just endured" the narrator made me feel like he was reading to children. The changes in his voice were childlike. The story was not one of my favorites.

Would you recommend One Silent Night to your friends? Why or why not?

I would only recommend this if you read it, don't listen to the audio version. The narrator takes away from the experience.

Would you be willing to try another one of Scott Brick’s performances?

No

Was One Silent Night worth the listening time?

No

great

What made the experience of listening to One Silent Night the most enjoyable?

Book love it Awesome book marry me baby i wisb i was one of the ppl in this book. Hahahahahh

Love the series but couldn't stand the narrator.

Would you try another book from Sherrilyn Kenyon and/or Scott Brick?

I would and will read all sherrilyn Kenyon's books but cannot listen to another book narrated by Scott brick.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Overacted the parts.

Do you think One Silent Night needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

No because it already has more to the series

Any additional comments?

Please do not use this narrator anymore. He makes the books sound corny.

whiny!

This book might have been good if almost the entire thing wasn't Zephyra whining about how much she hated Stryker. It got old really fast. And I certainly didn't like either of them as characters. Stryker might be saved but Zephyra is a big jerk. Note: the narrator for the audible book is awful and makes it all the worse to read.

Bad narration

I have every Dark Hunter Series book. Loved this book, but the narrator was horrible. I will not purchase another book narrated by Scott Brick.

Sherrilyn, please don't leave us to this narrator!

Where does One Silent Night rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

The story is was very good, but it was so painful to listen to that narrator, that the overall enjoyment plummeted.

What was one of the most memorable moments of One Silent Night?

Honestly, all I can hear is the sniveling voice of the narrator when Media was introduced. I cringed.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Scott Brick?

Oh, God...anybody else! I could have done a better job, and that is not saying much. Please beg Fred Berman to read. He has the best pronunciations and really does Simi justice. Of course, you can't go wrong with Holter Graham.

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

I was repulsed by the horrible narration. At first I thought is was a joke or some idea that was going to be worked into the story. The wining, condescending way he represents women should repulse Sherrilyn as much as it pulsed anyone, being the strong woman that she is.

Any additional comments?

Oh, no...not Dream Warrior, too. You used the same awful narrator? I am just starting Dream Warrior, and am tempted to actually not read it. Hey, it's painful. A book series that is in my top 5 favs of all time is being ruined by this really inept narrator. Please don't use him anymore, Sherrilyn. I beg you....!!!!

Not a fan of the Narrator

I love all of her books! I've been re'reading' them through audiobooks. I loved the first two narrators, but I couldn't get over how different and unappealing his voices were from the previous narrator.

he makes the woman sound like men and the men sound like old men struggling to breathe.

I'm hoping the next book has a different narrator!

3 Because of Narrator

Is there anything you would change about this book?

The book itself was good. Have heard better from the series.

How could the performance have been better?

The narrator is why I gave a 3 for overall. I had a really hard time with the voices he used for different characters.

Could you see One Silent Night being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

No

So disappointed......

I usually do not write reviews, but I feel I have to for this book. As a fan of the Dark Hunters series, and in anticipation of the new book release, I decided to listen to the whole series as a refresher to get reacquainted with the characters, story lines and sub plots. Having read the books and had the characters come to life in my imagination, I started listening knowing that performances by the narrators would not be the same as what I think they would sound like; ie accents, tone and attitude. So, I take the performances with a grain of salt. And at the risk of sounding judgemental, I was sorely disappointed with this book. Actually, I'm almost offended. I realize that this is my opinion, and that others may have enjoyed the performance. But, I was truly unhappy listening to this. Being one of the shorter books in the series, it took me forever to get through this book. The characters were reduced to whiney, sniveling characters. The narrator managed to make the female characters sound more manly than the males. And if not that, they were reduced to some sort of "valley girl" type character. This is only my opinion. But had I not already read the books and been such a big fan, and been knew to the series and if I had listened to this one first......I would not have listened to anymore in the series. And that would have been extremely sad. A down right shame......
