"Diagnosis: Wolf by Poppy Dennison"

Thanks to his good-for-nothing brother, Andrew Hughes is up to his eyeballs in debt and needs a job fast. When a nursing position opens up in Myerson, Arizona, Andrew has no choice but to take it, despite a warning about how difficult a patient Caleb DiMartino can be. Andrew can deal with a little trouble-but Caleb's strange family, the armed guards, and the unknown cause of Caleb's mysterious illness may be beyond his skill set.

"Landslide by Mary Calmes"

For three years, paranormal courier Frank Corrigan has been working for incubus demon Cael Berith. Cael knows Frank is his mate, but Frank is pretty sure Cael doesn't even like him, never mind want to spend the rest of his life with him, so their personal relationship is at an impasse. When Frank's sister, Lindsey, gets bitten by a werewolf she's sleeping with-and possibly witnesses a murder-Frank rides to her rescue. If he's lucky, he might just save his love life too.

I really did like these 2 stories they where really cute and a great way to spend an evening all snuggled up. Don't let the weird cover turn you away. It really gives off the wrong vibes for these romances. The cover feels more horror, when they're really not that scary. Of course my complaint being I wish both where longer and their own novels. That way they could both be fleshed out and the worlds explored fully and more satisfactorily. However I feel like they where both really good short stories. So it is what it is.

BUT I did have an issue with the sound quality of the tract. Not so much the narrator who did a decent job. Though I did think he did a better job in the second story. No it was the echo tinyish sound coming from the narrator's speech. Not sure if it was on purpose to play up the horror feel they where getting at, but it drove me a little crazy. Not enough to not listen, but it would yank me out of the story at points.

So for the whispersync price definitely give it a go. Though listen to the sample to make sure you're all good with the sound.

Great short stories, off narration

Both stories were awesome, I greatly enjoyed, but narration was sadly lacking. I was disappointed.

Diagnosis Wolf by Poppy Dennison- 2 stars
This was pretty disappointing for me, mainly because the story really made no sense. The whole plot sort of fell apart at the end... like completely. I also didn't really buy the shifter world and how easily Andrew adapted. I also didn't really warm to him much, and I felt sort of "meh" about his relationship with Caleb overall.

However, what might have been a decent story in ebook form was made much worse by the narration by Jeff Gelder. He read in a strange silted manner, and paused at weird moments. It broke up the sentences in a strange way, and it felt jarring to listen to. Also, he didn't have much differentiation between the voices of the all characters, which is a pet peeve of mine. I'm not saying he is the worst narrator I've heard, and his voice has a pleasant sound, but his reading style irked me. Also, the recording is a little off quality-wise with some slight echoing in the background.

Landslide by Mary Calmes- 3 stars
Very classic Mary Calmes. VERY.

I also wasn't completely wowed by this one, but it was charming to have the guy who everyone wants be a husky bear versus a classically good-looking stud. Imagine a Mary Calmes book with an incubus... yup, you got the whole story. The side plot with Frank's sister, Lindsey, was a bit distracting for me, and I wasn't sure how or why Frank ignored Cael's insistence that he was attracted to him for so long, but I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the story overall. Just easy listening.

In terms of the narration, I think Jeff Gelder did a much better job with this one. He still sounded choppy to me, but more animated and into the story. He did a wider range of voices here, and I enjoyed his narration more than I had before.

A pleasant way to pass the time.

Not bad, but with some issues...

Wow, the narration on this is truly awful. Fortunately, I've also been reading the print version when I can't listen. The stories, as written, are a lot of fun. None of that emotion is present in the narration. I've listened to this narrator before and liked his work. He definitely has a great voice, but he really missed the boat on the emotions within these stories.

Narration makes this suffer

Diagnosis Wolf:
Andrew is a nurse sent to the house of a shifter (not a werewolf) who has been possibly poisoned by enemies of their family. Caleb (the shifter) finds Andrew to be very attractive and it’s his protective instincts of Andrew that help him to start the recovery process. Andrew’s brother has gotten into deep water and is hoping to use Andrew’s connection to the rich DiMartino family to get out of debt. When push comes to shove, Caleb and his family manage to solve the medical mystery and defeat the bad guys (with Andrew’s help, of course.)

Landslide:
Frank is a special human, immune to most effects of paranormal power and as such acts as a liaison between the various “species”. On one mission he meets Cael, a demon of great power, who claims to be his mate. Frank doesn’t believe him and makes the poor demon wait 3 years before finally succumbing to seduction and finding true love. In the meantime they defeat some bad guys and mostly make you giggle.

**

This is the first time I’d read anything by Poppy Dennison and it was wonderful. It is a full story, richly detailed, and though it lacks the “fated mate” scenario in some shifter stories, it has enough of those elements to keep my sappy heart happy. The love was sweet and the sex was hot and the action exciting.

And then there’s Mary’s story… how can you NOT love a Mary story. Frank is hysterical. Ever the doubting Thomas, he thinks Cael (like the vegetable Kale) is “repulsed” because he’s not a twink and therefore not Cael’s type. Of course, Cael is ridiculously patient and let’s the misunderstanding go on for three years… three years! (Mary must have a thing for three years… remember Sam and Jory?!? ) But when they do get together it is sweet and sexy and very, very satisfying.

Audio Version:


Jeff does a nice job with both narrations. The recording takes a minute to get used to, there is a vague tinny sound to it, but it kind of lends itself to the creepy nature of the stories and it blends into the background after awhile.

He didn’t do any over the top voices or any serious “acting” but he doesn’t distract from the stories themselves either and it was a nice listening experience.

I give the book a 5 of 5 stars, the audio a 4 of 5 stars

Fun stories good narration

But the quality of the narration had an odd echo and the narration monotone and uninspired, I’m sorry to say. Although I listened to the whole thing, I couldn’t do it one sitting. Definitely not worth a credit.

I tried

Normally i dont by short stories or books with more than one story since i mostly find that the stories are to short to get a feel for the charaters and - probably like everybody else - i have a tendency to skip books where i dont like the cover - and i really dont like this one. BUT since the stories are by Mary Calmes and Poppy Dennison, i thought i would try it anyway.
The best story is - in my oppinion - PDs, which is the first in the book, but the story by MC is also worth a listen. And i love Jeff Gelder - very good narrator. And its a pleasure to hear one of PDs stories told as it should be, since her other books have an mediocre narrator.

Surprisingly worth the credit

DO NOT LET THE BOOK'S COVER FOOL YOU!

This book has two awesome m/m romance paranormal stories hidden under that crazy looking cover....

Story 1: Dennison write some of the best mm shifter books.... this story was so cute about a nurse who becomes the mate of a sickly wolf shifter....he is only stick b/c he was poisoned by silver....but the story is fast paced, funny, and sweet with...oh yeah... nice sexy time!

Story 2: It's a Calmes story....enough said! Great paranormal incubus story, with crazy family drama and awesome secondary character in an awesome world with demons, vamps, shifters and such... it was so enjoyable...

Both stories are well worth a credit, sale or buy...

Narration was good... no complaints here!

2 awesome stories in 1 book!

OK so first off sound quality was AWFUL!!! There was a constant echo that would bring you out of the book and as soon as you got back in you would pop out from it... Stories were a good way to have back ground noise as I cleaned at my old job. The narrator did a decent job of doing voices but when he wasn't he was mostly monotone and had no enthusiasm in what he was saying...
