“Wickedly hot.” (Romance Reviews Today)

Whiny narrator and cliffhanger ending

I liked the story well enough, though I think it would have been more entertaining reading it rather than listening to it. The narrator's voice was whiny and too old. It made the snarky humor more annoying than it would have been on paper, and the sex scenes sort of squicky because I'm picturing a too-old and unattractive heroine due to the voice. My biggest issue, though, is that this is not a complete story. There is a sequel and this book ends on a cliffhanger. After over 10 hours of listening, I was not amused to get an incomplete story. There should be a big warning that this is not a stand-alone volume. I don't appreciate having to pay for another full audiobook.

Entertainng Story

If you could sum up Zen and the Art of Vampires in three words, what would they be?

unresolved romance

Who was your favorite character and why?

Magda - she has a gusto for adventure

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

gives the charaters their own personality

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I cannot say I was particularly moved by the book but definately entertained.

Great book

I really like the world building, storyline, and characters .
The only thing that I find annoying is that the story feels like it has an incomplete ending. I never got to find out how Alec, Cristof, and the Beloveds story works out. It terrible to get through the whole book and not really know how it ends. I’ll read the next book in the series and hopefully it continues in it.

Ending?

I feel like I am missing the last chapter of the story. The ending was very anticlimactic. Edit: just got the next book and the story continues. All of the other books wrapped up the story line so I didn't expect it to continue to the next book. looking forward to hearing the rest of the story.

Yeah- there’s a cliffhanger

So there is a cliffhanger. End of that now

It’s one of those things where the heroine is caught between two sexy vamps and a slightly deranged guy who is in charge of a religious cult like organization. Someone dies. Pia is accused of her murder. Dark ones help her. Then cliffhanger.

I probably wouldn’t listen over and over. Not a bad story just not a repeat listen for me. Nicole Poole is brilliant as always.
