Reseñas de la Crítica

"Wickedly witty." ( Booklist)

The narrator is terrible.

great story! I've read it before. The narrator smacked and had a terrible voice.

Love anything read by Barbara Rosenblat

l love this story. Barbara Rosenblat brings the characters to life and makes the story fun.

My first introduction to Katie MacAlister's world

The first book of the series starts off with great character development and storyline. I can't wait to read more of the series.

You Slay Me, With Dry Mouth

If you could sum up You Slay Me in three words, what would they be?

Constant swallowing and smacking.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

The story has from funny parts especially the commentary from Jim the Newfoundland. Great zingers that had me sometimes wondering if my dogs are saying the same thing to me. This series has a lot of potential like the Dark Ones series. It took me 3 months to use a credit to listen to the book, because I was not impressed with the preview snippet. I was bored so I took a gamble with my credit.What I did not like about the book is the background noise. I could actually hear the narrator turning the pages as she was reading!!! The narrator has a smokey voice that sounds like she is smoking three packs a day and the character is in her 30s not her 60s. The worst part is the constant swallowing and smacking. I had to adjust the audio on my phone and radio to get through the book. I will continue to listen to the series, because the story line is interesting and Aisling's sidekicks are funny, but I do hope that the next books have better audios. The smoker's cough voice of Barbara is not too bad. I am getting use to her voice, but the smacking, paper shuffling, and swallowing needs to be addressed pronto.

How could the performance have been better?

The whole audio needs to be redone to eliminate all the swallowing, pages turning and smacking done by the narrator.

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

I cannot see this book being made into a film. There were too many problems with the audio on this one to imagine the story line.

A++ Series

If you haven't had the pleasure of listening to the Aisling Grey Series or to Barbara Rosenblat's brilliant narration then look no further. Get this book now! You will not regret it. This book/series is witty, charming and romantic. This is one of my all-time favorites. Who knew dragons could be so sexy???
5 Stars all around.
