Hideous narration

Especially the adults trying to do baby voices - couldn't be worse. I won't finish the book for that reason. I just can't listen to this.

OK

Decent, nice twists. Some of the characters are a bit simplistic, but then I have only read a couple of the earlier books in the series.

A little slow to start

I have listened to all of these books to this point. I agree with another reviewer that, initially, there were way too many characters to keep up with. It took me a while to pull it all together (4 hours). The narration was different because of different narrators. It was ok, not as bad as some say. I will still get the next book. This was probably my least favorite of the series.
I think it is interesting that mostly all the women in these books have red hair - or a shade of red and the men are described as well-toned and absolutely gorgeous. Except for the villains, of course.

Violence with Tender relationships

What did you love best about Backfire?

The friendships and the love.

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

Not really. Too much predictable gore as it moved into the climax.

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

"He said." "She said." too often. Sometimes a male voice, then a beat, then a female voice saying, "he said." Sheesh - no exclaimed, or shouted or cried, just 'said'.

Narration really slowed down the suspense and hampered the storyline. Are these narrators tired of doing this?

Sometimes male and female changed off with each other with no rhyme or reason, just enough to make the story not flow.

Any additional comments?

Disappointing.

Must Be a Fan of the Author

This is the second book I own from this series. I purchased because I like Deanna Hurst Narrations. But this series is not for me
I don’t care who the reader is in future. I have met this author at a book signing years ago. Her Classic historical romances are terrific and not to be missed.
Were my comments of help?
