Publisher's summary

Following the murderous events of the “gripping…thrill-ride” (Karin Slaughter) Serpent of Heaven, Lizbeth Rose is awaiting the arrival of her sister Felicia and her husband’s younger brother Eli in Texcoma. Both needed to leave the seat of the Holy Russian Empire in San Diego after Felicia’s burgeoning wizardly power in death magic became the reason for kidnapping and assassination attempts from her mother’s family of high-powered wizards in Mexico.

Yet bad news has traveled ahead of them, as Eli is called back to San Diego, taking Peter along with him, splitting them apart in more ways than one as their enemies’ plans for revenge come to fruition.

Highly Confused

I have the kindle edition as well as the audible and I’ve noticed some major differences in the two. Chapter 10 when Eli says he’s leaving is completely different in the kindle version. Then later on in the audio version the narrator says Lizbeth and Martin were together, but the kindle version does say Tarken which is correct. So are there 2 different versions of this story? I admit I listened to it all but haven’t finished reading it yet. I only got the kindle version because of the whole Tarken/Martin mix up just to see if that was truly how it was in the book. I enjoyed the story and I can’t wait for the next book. But I truly wonder if the audible performance was rushed, or if the book itself went through some last minute changes after the audio had already been recorded.

split perspective

I’m not a fan of back and forth 1st person perspective. Please just pick one main characters’ voice to write in, whiplash distraction doesn’t add to the content and for me it drastically devalues the experience.

Harris Delivers

Harris is the best storyteller. In a series, she weaves a beautiful story and wonderful characters. Narrator is perfect.

Did NOT see that ending coming…

…but it was perfect. The stage is set for another book, of course—which I’m looking forward to. And the narrator is amazing! Listening to this was pure pleasure.

Great story

Love everything by Charlaine Harris. And Eva's narration is perfection. The only complaint (ish) I have is they could be longer.

Loved this book and the narration!!

Eva Kaminsky’s narration of this book is masterful. She’s perfect for this story from the consistently amazing Charlaine Harris. This latest installment in the Gunnie Rose series is both heartstopping with action and with emotional blows. Get ready for a wild ride but also grab your tissues for some shocking scenes! You won’t want to put it down!

So sad the next book isn’t out yet.

This book came across different that the others. But I still enjoyed it and I listened too fast and now I have to wait for CH to put out the next one. I was really hoping that the wizards ball would be in this book.

Gunnie Rose #5

Charlaine Harris is one of my favorite authors and the Gunnie Rose series fulfills all my rather high expectations of her writing.
Eva Kaminsky is an outstanding narrator, imbibing each character with a clear individual voice and emotional inflection.

Normally a big fan, but..

This audiobook fell flat with me. It read a bit like a television episode, where just enough drama happens to justify the story. This seems to be such a trend in science fiction and I hope it doesn’t become the norm for CH.

Story Keeps Growing

This is a good addition to the series that expands Lizbeth and her sister's relationship. The narration was excellent as usual.
