Interesting

I finished this book with no small effort. Can't say it kept me at the edge of my seat. Can you say Eve Dallas and Rourke?

Nora Robert's 5 book "Night Tales Series" (1990s)

This is a collection of 5 books "Night Tales Series" that are interconnected with characters. Having read all of Nora Robert's books for almost 4 decades, I was disappointed listening to these 5 books now on Audible. I didn't care for the narrator at all. I do realize that these books were written quite a while ago (30+ years). I had actually read them these years ago (before Audible) but had forgotten until I started listening to them on Audible (2019). Special Note: Nora Robert's is by far my favorite Author. In my opinion, the quality of her writing, development of characters and storylines improves each and every year. I sure hope she doesn't retire soon!

Disappointing

Any additional comments?

The narration was stilted and book itself reminded me of a remake of Batman. Didn't finish it. Love Nora Roberts, just not this one.

A Nora Roberts fan

Really did not like narrator!!!! She really spoiled the story with over acting. Get the book. Do yourself a favor and avoid her.
Do the authors have a choice of narrators?

Nora Roberts never disappoints!

loved it, her novels your typical romance, but appeals to your sense of a romance story with twists of intrigue, great story telling. it leaves you wanting to finish in one sitting!

Good!

Really good book. nice to have an addition to the first book. can't wait to get to the next in the series.

Better than anticipated

I had reservations on the book because I wasn't certain that the narrator was ...well, good enough. My initial reaction was pretty much, a disappointment... but I thought I would give it a bit longer - at least 1 chapter. The narrator was surprisingly very good and she brought the characters to life. So, those who read the reviews & "buy" based on the reviews, remember that many do what I was going to do… I was NOT GOING TO GIVE it a chance. Seriously, DECIDE FOR YOURSELF & REMEMBER, after you allow 2-3 chapters and you decided for yourself, you can always return the book for refund/credit.

Riveting and wonderful

I loved the story and plot. Interesting and straight to the point. One thing I didn’t like was the narration. The way the narrator made the female characters sound like they were always crying when they weren’t.

Great Performance - Great "Superhero" Story

What did you love best about Night Shadow?

I'm a huge fan of the author's, and I love superhero movies, so this was a great surprise for me as I got into the book.

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

When Deborah realizes that they're both the same man she's in love with.

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

I thought her performance was "spot on" and really brought the book to life.

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

IDK. Maybe that he was as vulnerable as the people he helped.

Well Written

Nora Roberts has once again Out Done Herself this is the shortest book of hers I've listened to just a little over 7 hours But I've enjoyed it as much as the one's that were 20 or more hours long
