About this listen

The world of Harmony has its wonders, one of them being Rainshadow Island. Just beneath its surface, a maze of catacombs hides a dangerous secret….

Halloween - with its tricks and treats - is a dust bunny's dream come true. Just ask Lyle, Sedona Snow's faithful sidekick. But for Sedona, it's a nightmare. Though her new job managing a small hotel and tavern on Rainshadow is helping her move on from her tragic past, a bizarre disaster down in the catacombs has brought a pack of rowdy ghost hunters to her inn. And now, Sedona's ex has arrived on the island, claiming he wants to get back together, just as a newcomer appears to have a strong interest in her. Cyrus Jones is the new Guild boss in town. He has his own agenda when it comes to Sedona, but even the best-laid plans are no match for the passion that springs up on Rainshadow.…

Always a Fun Read

Cyrus Jones and Sedona Snow are two of my favorite characters in the Harmony and Rain Shadow tales. Barbara Rosenblatt does a wonderful job of bringing them to life. Ms. Rosenblat remains one of my favorite narrators. She's able to make the men sound macho and the women sound sexy. It's always disappointing when the narrator has to struggle to make the men sound masculine and the women sound feminine without sounding like they're still in high school. Thank you Barbara.

Good book, but...

Would you consider the audio edition of The Hot Zone to be better than the print version?

Like previous reviews this is Jayne Castle as her best, but the narrators 10 pack a day smokers voice just about ruins it. Most of the time the narrators voice sounds so masculine that you really have to listen carefully as to what parts are being read, if it's the female role or the male role. As for the story its self Jayne Castle once again hits it out of the ball park with another great Rainshadow tale. You get to visit all the previous characters along with learning the story of Sedona Snow and Cyrus Jones. Overall this is a great book and I highly suggest skipping the audio book and go straight to reading this one.

Love this book and all of Jayne Castle’s work

Jayne Castle seemingly effortlessly balances strong female characters with crazy sexy alpha male characters. Throw in a dust bunny and I’m hooked. Thanks Jayne. Please write more.

My Favorite of the Harmony series

What did you love best about The Hot Zone?

It's hard to pick out just one thing. The characters really come to life, and are especially unique. The setting includes finding the Preserve's monsters,getting caught in terrifying psi storms and exploring some amazingly beautiful new tunnels.

What other book might you compare The Hot Zone to and why?

All of the Rainshadow books are good and worth the read, this one just kicks it up a notch.

What does Barbara Rosenblat bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I tend to skim books when I read visually. I probably would have missed some of the enchanting details. Ms Rosenblat's has a wide variety of voices and does tone and inflections masterfully.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I did listen to it in all one sitting. I bought a sansa clip, just for that purpose.

Any additional comments?

Highly recommended :)
