Another Great Audiobook by Graham Masterton

This latest story is as you’d expect from Graham Masterton.

The plot and storyline is brilliant.

I’ve really enjoyed listening to it.

Great story shame about narration

A good tale totally ruined by the whiney narration. It took days to get through it as could only stand so much at a time. I hope the next book has a different narrator.

Shame

Well, I couldn't wait for this book to finish!
Don't get me wrong I love this series on the whole but this narrator was just AWFUL!!!!
It's never a good idea to change narrators during a series as you become invested and it's like going back to a friend with each book. A different narrator is like changing the whole cast of actors, it just doesn't work!

This narrator has the MOST IRRITATING way of reading. She has a sing-song repetitive pattern which is so monotonously annoying I was tempted more than once just to skip this book altogether!

I have to admit also that the constant sex scenes are in my opinion really unnecessary...I'm certainly no prude but it just gets boring eventually and I end up fast forwarding to get back to the story and plot.

I'm now looking forward to the next book, read once again by the original narrator...yay!!!

great storytelling

great storytelling although spoilt by the gratuitous sex scenes, that don't bring anything to the telling.

Another Great Story

Graham Masterson is clearly masterful at using words to paint an extremely detailed picture, perhaps to the extent that some of the violent scenes may appear a tad gratuitous. That said, if you know that going in, you simply need to appreciate the talent involved.

My last Masterton book review.

When a writer uses rape as titillating entertainment, a line is crossed where the merits of any story become snared or soiled in by the act described in such a detail, making the rest of the story banal and sordid. This is the problem with this particular book, it is not a matter of morality, just not entertaining or valid to expand on the plot or build a better character.

Not for me, degradation of people and animals is not entertaining or something I want to spend time reading.

Couldn't get past chapter 3

I love the Katie maguire books but this is the 3rd one that has been ruined by a terrible narrator. I got to chapter 3 and couldn't carry on, she is reading so slowly that it got frustrating and boring

So much so, she made another excellent Graham Masterton story very tedious. Great shame... 😢

Why oh why

Against all of my better judgement I go back to the Katie Mcguire series and then finding myself writing practically the same review over and over...

KM is a brilliant female protagonist, sharp, fearless, clever.... So why detract from what makes her appealing with some god awful sex scenes? Katie's inner slut, Katie's lesbian threesome, Katie takes it up the bum - REALLY? This does not add to her character, it doesn't explain who she is why she's the human she is... I'm not aware of masterton going in to such depths with any of the male characters.... This is a middle aged man's fantasy, a strong, potentt woman he can bring down to a base level. Perhaps to make her more appealing and less of threat to his middle aged male readers.? Once again... A shame!
