the story lines and plots

I loved everything about this booktge writer is a GREAT story tellerI hate that it ended 😔 however I have more stories to escape to

Meh.

I’m really starting to hate this narrator, the way she reads female characters makes them all sound laughably stupid. I’ve listened to many, many books with this narrator and she always reads the women with this horrid, childish voice with a stilted.

I’m rarely this hard on narrators because I know they may read reviews but I cannot hold back any longer. This narrator is the worst I’ve heard and I have hundreds of audio books in my library.

Several great stories on this collection

Enjoy all the writing from these authors. I thought the stories must be great. I was so right. This book will be in my must read again collection. Actually it's must listen to again. The narration is excellent with Scottish voices.

Not as good as the rest of the series

I just couldn’t engage
The characters were not very compelling
The narrator was very good though

Vampire

Out of the three stories I liked the first one the best. The other two seemed repetitive. First time I have read vampires in the highlands
