Not much in the way of bedtime stories. Lots of prattle about the author history etc. not helpful for sleep. Narrators are ok.

After receiving a frantic letter from her newly-wed cousin begging for someone to save her from a mysterious doom, Noemí Taboada heads to High Place, a distant house in the Mexican countryside.

Terrible
Revisado: 01-24-22
Just plain stupidly terrible. Bought for a book club. Yuck. Disgusting seems. Mushrooms really. Bleck, yuck, terrible. Narrator had read every word like a robot. Story is not scary just gross.

Historia
Around the world, black handprints are appearing on doorways, scorched there by winged strangers who have crept through a slit in the sky. In a dark and dusty shop, a devil's supply of human teeth grown dangerously low. And in the tangled lanes of Prague, a young art student is about to be caught up in a brutal otherwordly war. Meet Karou. She fills her sketchbooks with monsters that may or may not be real; she's prone to disappearing on mysterious "errands"; she speaks many languages—not all of them human; and her bright blue hair actually grows out of her head that color.

so full of action you have to take it slow

Good writing. A little hard to follow the the back and forth of the time line. I will probably listen again just to get all the nuances of the story.

Don't bother

This was the biggest waste of time. Very wordy. The dragons kept saying my female. "I love the female". Just plain stupid.

OK not great
Revisado: 12-25-12
Writing and performance were just OK. The action dragged. the narrator did not alter her voice enough for different characters so you were sometimes not sure who was speaking.

Historia
Perhaps James Joyce's most personal work, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man depicts the intellectual awakening of one of literature's most memorable young heroes, Stephen Dedalus. Through a series of brilliant epiphanies that parallel the development of his own aesthetic consciousness, Joyce evokes Stephen's youth.

Very tedious
Revisado: 11-18-12
I got this for a class I am taking and had to go get the print version. It was very tedious to read. He is a brilliant author but it is just not my thing to look up all the motifs and hiden meanings. The reader has such a thick accent I had a hard time understanding. It is not an Irish accent it is Scotch. He sounded like Shawn Connery but read to fast to be heard well.

This has got me hooked on the series. I will be listening to more of these. Very descriptive of the people and the surroundings. There are lots of twists and turns to follow. Very erotic descriptions.

Good but not as good as the 1st book
Revisado: 11-18-12
I liked the descriptions of the lands and even the hotel. Very vivid I could see the places. The story was a good one with lots of twists and turns. It is just a little under the 1st in the series and the mating that keeps happening is kind of unbelievable in a group since it is supposedly so rare in the weir kind.

Not that good
Revisado: 11-18-12
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
No, even though this fantasy I want it to be believable and I did not find this believable.
Would you ever listen to anything by Thea Harrison again?
Yes, recommendations from other listeners for the next book in this series have made me get the next in the series. Besides the writing is not all bad.
Which character – as performed by Sophie Eastlake – was your favorite?
Dunkin was the most beleivable and had a very little part. Pia too.
Did Serpent's Kiss inspire you to do anything?
not really
Any additional comments?
I really liked the 1st book and the second was good. I am hoping this was just a bad shot.

Historia
Oliver Sacks' The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat tells the stories of individuals afflicted with fantastic perceptual and intellectual aberrations: patients who have lost their memories and with them the greater part of their pasts; who are no longer able to recognize people and common objects; who are stricken with violent tics and grimaces or who shout involuntary obscenities; whose limbs have become alien; who have been dismissed as retarded yet are gifted with uncanny artistic or mathematical talents.
