Resumen del Editor

On the waves of the North Atlantic, a poison spreads, sapping the life from humans and striking madness into immortals. Patrick Murphy, the immortal leader of Dublin, has been trying to stem the tide of Elixir washing into his territory, but nothing seems to stop the vampire drug. While others in the immortal world work to cure the creeping insanity that Elixir threatens, Murphy has been invited to London to join a summit of leaders hoping to discover who is shipping the drug. If Murphy and his allies can cut off the supply, they might be able to halt the spread long enough for a treatment to be found for the humans and vampires infected.

Anne O'Dea, Murphy's former lover, retreated from public life over 100 years ago to help immortals in need...and to heal her own broken heart. Though powerful connections keep her insulated from the violence of vampire politics, even Anne is starting to feel the effects of Elixir on her isolated world. The human blood supply has been tainted, and with Anne's unique needs, even those closest to her might be in danger. Not just from infection but from Anne's escalating bloodlust.

When Anne and Murphy are both called to London, they're forced to confront a connection as immortal as they are. As they search for a traitor among allies, they must also come to terms with their past. Behind the safe façade of politics, old hungers still burn, even as an ancient power threatens the fate of the Elemental World.

The Scarlet Deep

Elizabeth Hunter hits a home run again with this action packed paranormal romance novel. Excellent character, plot, & storyline development! This book can be read as a standalone novel or as part of the series. Patrick & Anne's story is explosive, dysfunctional, & passionate. Additional characters from the Elemental World are in this book.

Enjoyable

I didn't enjoy these characters as much. It's a good story but I didn't root for them the way I have others.

Good But Not Great

I have totally enjoyed the Elemental Mysteries and Elemental World books and have waited patiently for this installment to arrive at Audible. Overall, and especially if I consider it on its own, it is a good book. The plot moves quickly, the characters are well developed and the final outcome wasn't obvious. Dina Pearlman did a great job as she always does.

However, there was not as strong a sense of connection with the characters in this book. I felt this way partly because I've grown to love reading about Gio and Bea, their tumultuous relationship and their extended family. And while this book included some of those extended family members, it didn't feel connected to the books that came before it.

Anne seemed too cerebral and reserved to believe she had once been part of a passionate love affair and to believe she had the ability to engender that passion from another person. And Murphy, while interesting, seemed tame and rather middle-manager-ish for me.

That said, I still enjoyed the book, was happy for a chance to revisit the remarkable world Ms. Hunter has created. I hope the rest of the existing books and novellas in this series are picked up by Audible. I will read them all.

You can always rely on ELizabeth Hunter

If you haven't read /listened to the other books in her different series's then do so! She ties them in with The Scarlet Deep. They are all excellent books, passionate and they are hard to put down.

Captivating!!!!

Once you start this series you cannot let go!! I can't wait to see what happens next!!!!

Loved this!!

Elizabeth Hunter books are some of my favor to listen to. Elizabeth is a wonderful author and Dina Pearlman is such a good narrator.

PERFECT!!!

Where does The Scarlet Deep rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Well, this book is among the best books I listening (or read) ths year. I think I'm a little suspect , because I love this series from Elizabeth Hunter.

What other book might you compare The Scarlet Deep to and why?

I don't know... is difficult to compare stories.

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

Dina Pearlman met the right tone, the right way to narrate this story.

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

No.

Any additional comments?

I recommend this book, because it's very, very good, with the right balance of mistery, action, love and intrigue.

It's the little things.

Elizabeth gives such worldwind adventures to her characters. Dine Perlman does a good job of adding to those adventures. Ann and Patrick were delightful. I really loved Patrick and the way he was with Ann. No real apology in it even when Ann made it so hard.

The stories of the secondary characters are great for the in-between of the larger stories. I live for them as much as I do the big books.

Scarlet Deep

Once again, Ms. Hunter has done an excellent job tying this story with the rest of the series! Just outstanding!!

Great

ANOTHER AMAZING STORY IN THE SERIES. THESE BOOKS ARE SO ENJOYABLE!! ALWAYS LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT! DINA IS AWESOME!!
