Bite the Big One!

A Paranormal Romantic Comedy

De: Sharon Karaa

Narrado por: Emily Gray

Jennifer Owens has her fair share of troubles, what with being pestered by dead people and having to dodge the spells cast by her best friend, Becky, who is the worst witch in the history of witchcraft. On top of that, she has to contend with a sex-mad octogenarian who seems to be stalking her. She doesn't think things can get any worse. But then she becomes the target of a band of vampires who wanted to protect a secret that only she can unlock, if only she can figure out what it is! A steaming hot vampire slayer is determined to be her knight in shining armor, but is he real or another one of Becky's silly spells? And would they be able to figure out the vampire secret before she becomes their dinner?

Ok

I listen to a lot of books and this one was just ok. It really wasn't very funny or witty which is surprising given the reviews. I typically love this type of book but this one was off the mark. The plot wasn't particularly engaging. The characters weren't developed enough to draw you into the story either.

Even if you are able to buy on sale, I say skip it. There are better books in this genre.

So fun!!

Characters are charming and story line is so original! Sharon K is awesome!! So fun!

Not quite one thing or another

This is a cute story, complete with a witch with a bit of a hiccup to her spells, a group of confused vampires, a very hot vampire hunter, and oh yes, a talking dog, thanks to the witch who gets things just a bit wrong. The dog's owner, an ordinary mortal who must live with her best friend's wonky spells, is just trying to live her life.

I am not sure why I don't like this book as well as I thought I would. I think it is trying so hard to be funny that it seems a bit strained. It also can't decide if it is British chick lit (the dog can't decide if it has a leash or a lead), light romantic paranormal, or just screwball comedy.
The narrator is wonderful and makes some rather silly banter work. She even does a good aggravated dog.

Fun escape from the normal. Enjoyed 20 June 2020.

I really enjoyed this book. There were so many times I laughed out loud. I also liked the narration. I did listen at a 1.4x speed. Really, the only thing that I didn’t care for was a much longer gap between the chapters. I am so glad that I found this book while looking for funny books in the audible escape subscription. Now I am going to listen to the rest from this author. Enjoy.

Meh...

I'm just not impressed. Maybe it was the narration. I couldn't keep the characters straight because they all sounded the same. I finished the book two days ago and I don't even remember the story.
It wasn't awful. Just meh.
