The first story in The Bite Before Christmas was very poor indeed. Instead of solid plotting it used pornography as a means of interesting the listener - this didn't work. I would rate this part of the book with one star!

However the part written by Jeaniene Frost was very good indeed. Although a short story it was well plotted and very entertaining, and I would highly recommend it, particularly to those already familiar with Cat and Bones. This part of the book I would give five stars.

Unfortunately this has the effect of giving the whole book a three star rating.

A tale of two halves - one very bad, one very good

Where does The Bite Before Christmas rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It is a reasonable read both stories are a good standard. In my opinion the Argeneau slightly better - maybe.

Any additional comments?

Wouldn't be in my top ten but it is a book I know I will read again.
