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

overdone bad accents

narrator's accents were off the chart bad. french sounds like italian. italian sounded made up

I love it

It was great form begin to the end and the voice acting was great to

A gripping experience

The story has beautiful, layered plot, full of excitement, tenderness and something more... Definitely worth recommending for all those who search something that will make them smile.

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.
