The Undead Next Door

Terrible narration - couldn't finish

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

I'm not sure who would enjoy it. The narrator did such a terrible job with the accents that I could only listen to about 10 minutes of it before I turned it off.

What was most disappointing about Kerrelyn Sparks’s story?

My review is based solely on the audio version of this book. I don't know if the story is disappointing or not. I could not get past the first chapter. In that time the story seemed interesting. I have read other books in this series by Kerrelyn Sparks and really liked them. I have not listened to those audio books however.

How could the performance have been better?

The accents, especially the French, were cartoonish and over played. It is difficult to connect with the romantic hero of a book when he sounds like Pepe Le Pew. The book would be better with a narrator who could do subtle accents.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Undead Next Door?

I cannot judge the story in this book because I was unable to listen to much of it.

Any additional comments?

This audio book was a waste of my joining credit. Don't waste your money or credits on this.

Excellent!

I really enjoyed this book and got into the story very easily. This narrator does such a superb job of reading the different accents and she gives Bethany (the little girl) just the right touch. Very enjoyable listening!

Disappointed listener

What did you like best about The Undead Next Door? What did you like least?

After loving book 3 and the narrator with the Scottish accents especially angus and Emma, then this one just ruins the whole feel of the characters feels like you are listening to a whole different series. Enjoyed book 1 & 2 also including the narrators, but it won't stop me from listening to the rest of the series I am hooked

Would you be willing to try another one of Deanna Hurst’s performances?

Not if she is doing Scottish accents

What would have made this romance irresistible?

The narrator from book 3

Great fun!

I found this book a really fun read! Liked the story line and love the characters!
The one thing about the book is the title! Just don't understand why it has the title! The Vamp doesn't live next door!
I am also glad to see that the writer and the editor use correct grammar! Reading is the best way to learn the English language! Correct grammar should be requirement. For writers and editors?
I really think you will enjoy this book,

amazing

love this series can't get enough listen to them all night long at work😀amazing books

Love the story / Narrator so-so!

The narrator had trouble with some accents. Couple of glitch with the sounds, too. voice would go up and down. But I do love this series and will continue to get more of the books, just hope the narrators get better as we go along.

narration is funny

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Get narrators who can do accents.

What did you like best about this story?

The story was fine.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Very much. The accent were bad.

Do you think The Undead Next Door needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

No, the books do well connecting the stories.

Most irritating narrator ever

What would have made The Undead Next Door better?

A decent narrator.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

Predictable. The book really left no lingering emotion when it was over. It was just over - nothing to think about or evaluate.

What didn’t you like about Deanna Hurst’s performance?

The narrator's accent imitations were so annoying I couldn't concentrate on the story. She was also a very slow reader and I just kept thinking - get on with it already!

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

This book definitely wasn't my favorite in the series. In retrospect, I would have skipped it.

I love the undead

Would you consider the audio edition of The Undead Next Door to be better than the print version?

What did you like best about this story?

Sparks allowes her people to b real, not even the heros make misstakes,or is that stakes

What about Deanna Hurst’s performance did you like?

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
