Fantastic !!!!

I love this series! Best one yet! Please keep them coming. Great narration. Loved the change in writing style.

Crazy about series

Terrific narration. Question, does Texas not issue marriage license? Only problem I had why no one looked up Mimi's to find our intended's name. I am moving into next book now.

I see tears

If you could sum up Deadly Forecast in three words, what would they be?

what Love is

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

oh beyound true, u kept listening and your right with abby the whole time, u understand her frustration with seeing what she does and her body rebuilding it's self

Which scene was your favorite?

Dutch on the bridge with abby, refusing to let her go

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

I did both all the time

Abby and Dutch are heading toward the altar

I loved this book! Finally Abby and Dutch are heading toward the altar. Unfortunately they run into about every problem a wedding ever had, plus a few more. Abby and Dutch very much want to marry, but so many people become involved in either planning the wedding or carrying it out, that pandemonium ensues. Top it all off with Abby’s feelings of physical dread, and we must wonder if this is going to happen at all.

The first clue that this wasn't going to go off without a hitch was also what kept it from five stars in my opinion. Early in the book and throughout, we got the events occurring from 2 hours counting down toward zero interspersed with events in order. In both the print and audio versions (unabridged), the differentiation between the present told by Abby in first tense and the countdown sections told in third person point of view by an unknown narrator were not differentiated from each other well enough. These future sections spilled clues as to what was going to happen throughout. I won't share any, but I felt as if I were being given spoilers every so often.

The overall story has Abby Cooper, psychic intuitive and civilian profiler to the FBI working with her partner and best friend, private investigator Candace Fusco. They are trying to figure out who is killing brides. The FBI agents get to the same case after they process many scenes they eventually attribute to the same guy.

When Abby and Dutch moved to Texas for their FBI jobs, several of their friends and colleagues moved as well. We sort of picked up and moved them all within 6 months of each other to the same town. When Dutch buys property to build a house for Abby, he hires Abby’s old handyman now contractor to build it. General contractor Dave keeps waiting for Abby to stop by to choose all her colors, floors, furniture, fixtures, appliances, etc. but she keeps putting Dave off. But not more so than Abby's sister Cat who has flown in to what morphs into her version of an elaborate wedding.

As the wedding approaches, Abby is filled with a sense of dread that has flooded her with fear that something will stop the wedding. Abby is so afraid for Dutch to be near her, since her fear involves physical danger to herself, and she doesn't want Dutch anywhere near that danger. He understands that fear from his own former cases, but Abby can't believe Dutch isn't furious. At the end, it does not turn out how Abby feared most but much the opposite. I doubt there will be many dry eyes at the end.

Best story!

I love listening to psychic eye and the characters. This is the best story yet. I kept finding time to keep listening. Great performance except for the voice of Bryce who needs to be more masculine.

Not too happy

What did you like best about Deadly Forecast? What did you like least?

I did not like how Abby kept the gloomy forecast going all through the book only to be wrong about it. Frankly it was a drag down for one of her books.

What was most disappointing about Victoria Laurie’s story?

THe story line for sure

What aspect of Elizabeth Michaels’s performance would you have changed?

maybe getting happier would have helped but all I heard was her falling down, getting her boyfriend upset & her hips colllapsing on her.

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

no

Series is on a roll...

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

Yes, mystery, mystique and romance, what more could a girl want?

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes, I thought I figured out the perp early on....but I was wrong.

What does Elizabeth Michaels bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

her voice is very pleasing to listen to. She gives life to abby and dutch

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Psychic My Ass...ops, that will be twenty-five cents please.

Any additional comments?

Thanks, I need a little entertainment in my life. LOL

love the story

I loved the story. Ms. Laurie is an amazing author. What I didn't like was how the narrator changed some of the voices. Kat and Bryce are the two that were the worst, especiallyBryce. Bryce sounds like peewee herman and Kat is just all wrong.
The story is heart pounding as usual and Abby is Abby. She is brilliant but continues to make poor choices.......following her heart and not that big brain.
I am anxious to hear the next book.

Horrible narrator.

I love this series. I do, but the narrator has ruined the enjoyment for me. She’s awful. It’s so hard to force myself to finish the books with her narration. And her voices are awful. Why would you make Harrison sound like a small geeky nerd? And that’s the only voice she changes. Just his. You can never tell who is speaking because she doesn’t change her voice at all. This narrator did the author a HUGE disservice by narrating her novels.

Fantastic!!

Loved it great couldn’t you put it down three I didn’t realize that he was the killer. Candace left a book can’t wait read more.
