Dark Side of the Moon

De: Sherrilyn Kenyon

Narrado por: Maggi-Meg Reed

Susan Michaels was once the hottest reporter on the Beltway Beat until a major scandal ruined her life and left her writing stories about alien babies and Elvis sightings. Life as she once knew it is over, or so she thinks, but then she gets a lead on a story that could salvage her extinct career. She heads to the local animal shelter, expecting a hot news tip, which she gets in the form of a major police cover-up . . . for a ring of soul-sucking vampires out to take over Seattle. So much for saving her credibility.
And if that isn't bad enough, she gets talked into adopting a cat and finds she's allergic to it. A cat that turns out to be a shapeshifter who claims to be an immortal vampire slayer on the prowl for the same corrupt cops. Her first thought: seek professional help.
But as Susan's drawn into Ravyn's dark and dangerous world, she comes to realize that there's a lot more at stake than just her defunct career. Now it's no longer a question of bringing the truth to her readers; it's a matter of saving their very lives and souls.
Ravyn's life was shattered over four hundred years ago, when he mistakenly trusted the wrong human with the truth of his existence. He lost his family, his honor, and his life. Now, in order to save the people of Seattle, he's forced to confront that nightmare all over again, and to trust another woman with the secret that could destroy him.
In the world of the Dark-Hunters, life is always dangerous. But never more so than now; when a very human woman can shatter their entire world with just one story. The only question is . . . will she?

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Taut action and jaunty humor... Contains a delicious balance of suspense and sensuality and provides a tantalizing setup for the sequel." - Publishers Weekly

"[Kenyon] is one of the defining authors of the new wave of paranormal romance." - Booklist

"Kenyon's writing is brisk, ironic, sexy, and relentlessly imaginative. These are not your mother's vampire novels." - The Boston Globe

Love DH series, not this version of this book

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

So I love the DH books and I love Sherrilyn Keyon work, but this book (or this version) was just painful to get through. Where was Fred Birman? Gosh, listening to the narrator was like as painful as having someone stick needles in my eardrums just for fun.
Skip the listening of this one, get the book and read it.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

It was a good ending, just painful to get through it. I'm going to return this one.

Would you be willing to try another one of Maggi-Meg Reed’s performances?

No, Maggi-Meg Reed's performance in this book was not so fun for me. Maybe she would be better in another book.

Was Dark Side of the Moon worth the listening time?

Nope, not this version. I'm going to go and read the book just so I can feel in all the blanks left by this listening.

Any additional comments?

Don't do abridge version of your books, Sherrilyn Kenyon, it is a blasphemy to your books and an affront to your readers.

Cliff-Notes on Raven & Susan

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Wow, this book was fantastic however I felt I needed more than the base story. Very happy to see Nick was back.

Dark Hunters ♡

I gotta admit, I was a little leery at first when I saw there were only four chapters. Sherrilyn Kenyon has outdone herself again though. It's well worth the read. The story flows from beginning to end.

Great story, can't wait to read more.

It was a fun and exciting step into an unseen underworld of beasts and ancient organizations. I thoroughly enjoyed the first of many to come.

Dark Hunters Rule!

Kenyon's Dark Hunter world grows bigger and hotter with each installment. You can't go wrong with any of her books, and on audio they are even more sexy with the character's accents done with professional narration. *Important to read this series in order*

Skip the Abridged version

Go for the full version
This one is not worth it the entire story is better

Audio books should never be abridged

this book really was butchered, Kenyon shouldnt have allowed an abridge book to be released it isnt an acurate depiction of her writing. Also I didnt like this female narrator. STICK WITH THE SAME NARRATOR when you are doing a series. Other than that it was alright!

Bring us an unabridged version, please!

This was one of the first audiobooks I listened to and I loved it. It was a great story. I thought the narator did a great job. Among others it assured I would be hooked on audiobooks. After listening to the unabridged versions of her later books I realized how much I had missed in this book because it was abridged. Now that they're making audio versions of her earlier books in the series I keep hoping they'll come back and remake an unabridged version of this one. I'd gladly buy it! Seems I'm not alone. Is anyone listening?

WOOOW!!!!

This book was the first one that I have ever listened to in this series and now I have to start at 1. I am hooked!!! Where is the unabridged version? This was too short but it was an excellent listen and the narrator was perfect.

Dark Side of the Moon

What I love most of this book is the imposiability of the relationship but the force of two people to look past the apperance and look inside there hearts.
