Reseñas de la Crítica

"[Caine] can deal out amazing plot twists as through she was dealing out cards." (Charlaine Harris)

LOVE THIS SERIES

Cynthia Holloway is an absolutely amazing narrator. The characters all have different voices and personalities. I originally read the first 6 books as they were released and was so excited to find the entire series on Audible.

One of the first series that made me a big reader

What did you love best about Last Breath?

It is just another amazing book by this author. I love them all

What did you like best about this story?

,!!!!!!

Have you listened to any of Cynthia Holloway???s other performances before? How does this one compare?

She is amazing

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes as always with this author

I Can't Help Myself - I <3 Morganville.

What made the experience of listening to Last Breath the most enjoyable?

I know the Morganville books are not technically "good" books, but I always enjoy my time in Morganville. The clip along, the characters are enjoyable, the plots decent. Caine has a good niche here, and I'll follow her as long as she wants to take me there.

Most enjoyable to me is probably the quick and fun pace, these stories are an afternoon, a moment, a good meal - a fun night with your friends. They aren't War & Peace, they don't try to be, but they give you a fun ride while you're there.

Would you be willing to try another book from Rachel Caine? Why or why not?

Yes, though I much prefer her YA to she "adult" novels.

Which scene was your favorite?

Any scene with Myrnin, particularly behind the wheel of a car is my favorite.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I always laugh out loud with Caine. Especially when Myrnin or Shane has a particularly wonderful piece of dialogue.

Last Breath; Book #11: What's Worse than a Vampire?

Cynthia Holloway is perfection

I admit I was worried that this series had started to run out of steam after reading the tenth installment, Bite Club, but I’m happy to say that the latest Morganville book put my mind at ease. Last Breath offers lots of surprises, reveals, action and emotion that make it one of the most satisfying of the series so far. Literally no one is safe this time from Morganville’s latest threat where the twists just keep coming. I couldn’t have predicted any of the events that occurred this time around, and I love that Rachel Caine is taking so many exciting risks with her characters and providing such a juicy storyline this late in the series.

This time around in Morganville there’s a new threat that even has the vampires scared. Vampires are disappearing left and right and Amelie fears that the dreaded enemy that has hunted them for years has finally found them. It’s interesting to learn about this new threat and what makes it so powerful and lethal to everyone in Morganville. Claire, Shane, Eve and Michael are facing a huge challenge, and I was holding my breath to see how they would come out of it. Through multiple narrations of Claire, Michael, Eve, Shane and Amelie, we get more character reveals that give a new insight into our favorite Morganvillian’s. There is also plenty of Myrnin as well and he plays a key role in this book.

The characters go on quite a journey this time around. And the relationships they have built with each other and the other members of Morganville really make the events that occur that much more touching and meaningful. There is just the right amount of time spent with each character to move the story along and keep things interesting. The beginning of the book really threw me off track with how I expected the story to go, and the action just kept ramping up. There are plenty of emotional and romantic scenes though that balance out the drama and suspense. In fact, some of the biggest insights and vulnerabilities of the characters are revealed this time around.

This is the third installment I’ve read via audiobook, and I think this is now my favorite way to experience this series. The narrator, Cynthia Holloway, does an expert job with the characters. From Myrnin to Amelie, Claire to Shane, all of the character voices are distinct and believable. They match up very well to the character voices in my head, and the narration conveys the appropriate amount of emotion and intensity.

Nail biter!

The story kept me on the edge of my seat, especially toward the end. Each of the characters has grown and strengthened so much over the series. The series is best read in order.

Had me hooked!!!

This book was the best one in the series in my opinion. I really enjoyed it listened to it in about a day could put my ipod down. The story was gripping and had you wondering what was going to happy next. The narrator is a great story teller. The writer did a good job on this book, yes it's young adult but still a good listen.

loved
