Messy narrative

Revisado: 09-05-24

I had to stop listening. I gave it several hours but the more I listened the more aggravated I got with the story. I imagine it all works out in the end, but I just found it such a mess.

An Utter Delight

Revisado: 07-19-21

I am so very happy I took a chance on this book during a Daily Deal. I was sad to come to the end and wanted to simply stay in this story with these characters for quite a while longer.

Disappointed

Revisado: 01-22-15

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I'd recommend it to anyone who is following the Fever series but not to anyone else.

Would you ever listen to anything by Karen Marie Moning again?

I'll come back for the next installment but I'm pretty sad about the mess that is Burned.

Have you listened to any of Phil Gigante and Natalie Ross ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Phil and Natalie are great. I'm always happy when they are the readers.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

NO

Any additional comments?

The reviewer who said that Burned was for all the Iced haters has it spot on. I was just SOOO disappointed in how this was handled. KMM is a much better writer than this and her plots are always solid and interesting - its a pity she felt compelled (I'm guessing) to write this story to appease the haters.
When I came to the end it felt like I was half way through an okay book that just suddenly stopped rather than ended. This was NOT a cliffhanger, just a sputter and die. KMM has made my head explode with her cliff hangers so I know she can do this.
I've listened to Iced four times since I got it a year ago. I'm not sure if I'll ever listen to Burned again.

If Mispronunciation Makes You Crazy

Revisado: 02-05-14

Would you be willing to try another one of Nellie Chalfant’s performances?

no

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

I always enjoy Stephanie Laurens stories

Any additional comments?

I still just can't believe that Nellie Chalfant didn't know how to pronounce SIGNIFICANT words in this book. If you're familiar with Stephanie Laurens books you'll know how many times the word TON is mentioned. Ton as in Bon Ton -- NOT as in TON of bricks. I like this story, but literally found myself cringing every 2 to 5 minutes because of a mispronounced word. Once in a book, maybe twice you'll hear something and think "huh?" but this goes way beyond. If that sort of thing interferes with your enjoyment please try another title.

Abandoned after 20 minutes

Revisado: 05-26-13

What disappointed you about Whiskey Beach?

The narrators voice was so appallingly bad my flesh crawled. I have never had this reaction to a narrator before. I've also never abandoned a book with NO intention of ever trying to listen again. Just could not get past the smug, effeminate and graceless voice and performance of the narrator.

Would you ever listen to anything by Nora Roberts again?

Of course, provided its a different narrator

How did the narrator detract from the book?

see comments above

Any additional comments?

truly a disappointment and a complete waste of a credit.
