Steamy and Surprising

Would you consider the audio edition of Stalker to be better than the print version?

Both are good. I like audiobooks for when I'm working or commuting. I love to actually read when I have down time.

Any additional comments?

Ms. Wild does it again! I really loved this book, so the audio version was a must-have. I like the narrator, and of course, I love the story. This one isn't for the faint of heart. It's definitely an adult book. I'm a fan of insta-hate-turned-love, so I enjoyed this. :D

Deviously Delicious

Have you listened to any of Jennifer Ann’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I am new to the audible book thing but has this was only the 3 book I have listened at all it was the first of Jennifer's and I must say she did an awesome job. I found her to be able to voice the characters really well.

Any additional comments?

A dark and twisted tale filled with love hatred and betrayal. Stalker is a sit on the the edge of your seat thrill ride. I absolutely loved Phoenix and all of his darkness. Vanessa eventually wore on me though I struggled with connecting with her and thank god for the flashbacks because if it was not for those I would have despised her. I knew from killer that I hated Arthur I just could not pinpoint why. Now I know he was just as bad as his brother Phillip. It seems everyone fro Vanessa past was a bad seed except for Phoenix though her actions put him on a destructive path. Will their be redemption for the two lovers or is their past too much to overcome. Grab Stalker or the Stalker Duology and find out. You will be in for a Deviously Delicious Treat. 4.5

Fantastic

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes I would definitely recommend this to my friends. I loved how the male parts were narrated by a male and the female parts narrated by a female rather than the one or the other inflecting their voices to differentiate between them. It made this book stand out from all the other audios I have ever listen to and made this one so much better.

What other book might you compare Stalker to and why?

I couldn't compare Stalker to any other book. It is highly unique not only for its plot but also its narration. The plot is twisty and turny, I never knew what was going to actually happen in the end. The dark and twisted characters had me enthralled and unable to stop wanting them to win each other. And the narration was the best I had heard ever.

Which scene was your favorite?

My favorite scene is at the end. It is the big twist and I loved it.

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

YES!! It was so hard to turn it off for any reason. I will be listening to this one again.

Any additional comments?

I have been very verbose about the narration, but I can't seem to brag on it enough! Jennifer Ann was THE perfect voice for Vanessa. It matched the one I had in my head perfectly after reading the book. Phoenix's voice was vastly different but once I got use to Clarissa Wild's vision of it I really got into it. They worked well off each other and they brought this book to life. This was truly one of the best audio books I have listened to and I loved how it was made immensely!! I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys audio and twisted characters.

Stalker has come to life

Where does Stalker rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This book was one of my favorites I have listened to so far. I couldn't stop listening and didn't want the book to end.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Stalker?

I think the end of the book was the part that I remember the most. It was something I didn't see coming and it was perfect! It was not your normal ending and will leave you like 'What?!'

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed this book. It was well written and the narrator kept me listing. The performance of the book was perfect. It was a book I didn't want to end. This book flowed in all parts and all of the characters came to life with every word. I can't wait to see what other books Clarissa Wild writes.

Exciting!

I'm not going to lie it took me a few chapters to get into it but once I started learning about the characters and how they intertwined it kept me very interested. I especially like how this author wasn't afraid to get graphic or worry about offending people. It def went dark a couple of times and I really liked that. I would def be interested in listening to more like this.

Not for the faint of heart

Clarissa Wild didn’t lie when she said this was a dark enemies to lovers story! This is not for the faint of heart and graphically displays the depravity of both Phoenix and Vanessa. The narrator, though new to me, did a good job! Overall, it was okay.

Loved this story, so many twists and turns

I always take it with a grain of salt when people say a relationship is built from Stockholm syndrome in a book and this is one case where I'm glad I didn't listen to that nonsense. I could explain each piece of my reasoning, but there are some things that just can't be reasoned away or explained to those that don't want to hear it. The characters in this book are not heroes, they aren't even close. So if you're looking for a white knight and an innocent woman in distress, you won't find it here so keep moving. These characters had so much depth to their personalities and they were so complex that to try and level them as one thing is a disservice to them. The author did a wonderful job of fleshing out two people that were of their own mold and for together despite the ways they'd hurt one another, or maybe even because of them. The narration was subpar, I must admit, and both male and female narrators sounded like basically just reading from a script. That said, it didn't ruin the story for me at all and it couldn't keep the writing from enthralling me. If you're very picky about narrators, you may want to listen to the sample first. Like I said, they were horrible and they used inflections to show emotions, but they still sounded flat. If you're looking for something specific, like a little light kink, once again, move on. This book is raw and gritty, and makes no apologies for it. There's physical and emotional abuse from all directions when they're in the thick of it too. But at it's core are two messed up people that share a crazy, special kind of love and I truly enjoyed hearing it. This one certainly is not for everyone, but if you want something real, this is it.

I am stalking the Stalker

I love books and audiobooks by Clarissa Wild. I will not lie about that. The characters and the storylines are always amazing and full of depth. The characters in this one make you take a look at yourself and wonder what lies you would be caught in. I have to say though having a certain surprise from Clarissa may have made me love it even more. The narration was spot on for this audio just like her previous audios!

TERRIBLE Narration

What disappointed you about Stalker?

I hated BOTH narrators in this book! The male sounds like a bumbling moron with a lisp, a stark contrast to the character he portrays. The female lead is mono-dramatic and lacks any talent.

What could Clarissa Wild have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Chosen better narrators.

How could the performance have been better?

Different Narrators!!!!

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

The story line was adequate, but I much would have rather read the book and not wasted my money on the narration.
