Haunted

Anna Strong, Vampire, Book 8

De: Jeanne C. Stein

Narrado por: Dina Pearlman

Anna Strong—kick-ass bounty hunter and vampire—has made some enemies in her time. But it’s not just her old foes she should be worried about…

Anna’s shape-shifting friend Culebra finally opens up to her about his life before he owned Beso de la Muerte, a bar catering to supernatural clientele. As if summoned by the conversation, Culebra’s past stumbles into his bar in the form of an old buddy cashing in a favor.

Soon Anna, Culebra and her ex, DEA agent Max, find themselves deep in Mexico, dealing with drug cartel infighting, old vendettas and missing girls. Mexico just may prove to be Anna’s best match yet…

Decent Transition Story for the Series.

I was wondering where this series was going to go next. This book is a good transition story for the series as a whole. Quite Enjoyable.

IT JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER....

Would you listen to Haunted again? Why?

Yes, I have the entire series and had to listen to them all right before this one came out. When I find a series I enjoy I will listen to it often, and this is one of them.

Any additional comments?

Ana continues to grow into her powers and into the person she will become. I truly have enjoyed all the different paths her life has taken through out each story, and am looking forward to the next story.

good story series

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

I speak Spanish as my first language and I was very surprise with the poor effort they had put in the translation and pronunciation.
most of the story happens in Mexico!!!

Hard not to get pulled in

This book started out rough, Anna attitude is tough to handle at times, but about an hour into it, the book got a lot better. The story took off and I was hooked, it was just a rough start. Honestly though I am not sure how many more books they can continue to write in this series without really ruining the entire storyline.

Vile bra and Max’s Stories are compelling

The performance this time is quite good
We learn more about Colebra
Anna is forced to be more introspective

This series is becoming a winner

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would be willing to recommend this book to anyone who reads fiction. I had no interest in the vampire genre at all until I read a book by Jeanne C. Stein. She is the one who got me interested in the genre and her books are still the best.

Have you listened to any of Dina Pearlman’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Dina Pearlman has read all the books in this series and it is clear that she is getting a better grip on the characters in each new book. This is her best yet.

Any additional comments?

This series may not have many installments to go and that is a real shame.

Slow

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

It was Ok, the story was very slow.

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

Predictable

Which character – as performed by Dina Pearlman – was your favorite?

All of them

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

Yes

Any additional comments?

Yes, make her a VAMPIRE and not this stumbling, inept, embarrassing one.

No Hable Español

I have enjoyed this series, however, I see that it's winding to a close and I can't say I'm sorry to hear that. The earlier stories held my interest much more than the last couple. I found Haunted a little frustrating because of the frequent use of Spanish phrases without adequate translation. I don't speak Spanish, I'm reading (or listening to) the book in ENGLISH. I realize the story is set in Mexico and the author could have added a few Spanish phrases with a translation written in and it wouldn't have bothered me. It just seemed to me that she assumes everyone understands Spanish and we don't. I'm sure I will read the last book to finish off the series, but I can't really say I'm anxiously awaiting it.
