Great read

Any additional comments?

This was a thoroughly enjoyable read. Not predictable. Strong characters and ensemble cast. While I am not necessarily a western reader, I loved this story and recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good book. The narration was superb.

Not my favorite

I love Beverly Jenkins. I think her books are amazing. This book didn’t touch me like the others. I kind of feel like it was because of the narrator. I don’t know that the story line was weak so much as the narrator did not do a good job of portraying the characters. I was disappointed because normally I can’t get enough and I found myself wanting this one to be over so I could move on to the next.

Interesting story

Night Hawk was a very well rounded and complete story. I really liked Preacher. He was in The Taming of Jessie Rose, and I had no idea that he had his own story. It was a pleasant surprise. Maggie was an okay heroine, though far from being one of my favorites. I think my subtle dislike for her has a lot to do with the narration.

The narrator, Kevin Free, was horrible with the female voices. They all, especially Maggie, sounded like a man trying to sound like a woman, which was creepy. The voices were jarring and continually pulled me out of the story. The whispered voice of Preacher was much better, though I kept expecting to hear him say, “I’m Batman,” in that Michael Keaton way. Other than Preacher, the narrator did not do a good job at varying the voices. At times I wasn’t sure who was speaking.

That being said, I enjoyed the book overall.

Great listen

Beverly Jenkins is a GOAT when it comes to African American historical fiction! This was another great story line with so many twist and turns!

The set of the story in the 1800’s about biracial characters

I like how the meeting of the two main characters developed a wonderful life. Each learning how to love each other.

Took me by surprise

It was good. It just through me off hearing a male voice. I did truly enjoy the story. I was cracking up laughing at times while I was driving by myself. People in the car next to would just stare at me. I almost died when they had to give up the steak
So a paying customer could eat it.
Good book over all

loved it!

i absolutely loved it! i was intrigued from the opening sentences and I couldn't wait to log back in to listen!

Narration is horrible.

I have read all of Beverly Jenkins' books multiple times. The narration of this book is a disservice to a wonderful story. Please consider doing this again with a new narrator.

great narration

love the story and the real history incorporated in it. loved the narrator. he did a great job giving life to each character.

Very Good, but NOT The Revolutionary War Era

What made the experience of listening to Night Hawk the most enjoyable?

I enjoyed the story overall and liked the heroine very much - it gave very good information about the West and details about the plight of Natives and Blacks during the time period after Reconstruction (better than the South).

What was one of the most memorable moments of Night Hawk?

The heroine's escape from the Preacher! :)

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

The performance could have been better - I didn't care for Ian's voice and some of the minor characters.

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

Life Beyond the Pain.

Any additional comments?

I think I would have enjoyed it more with a different narrator.
