Have worn my iPod all day!

I have really enjoyed this story and most of the narration. I'll admit Dick Hill gets a bit carried away with Hoyt's voice being too sonorous a few times, but he separates the voices very well and only makes the women sound whiny when they actually are according to what's being said. I can't understand how anyone could think of it as boring. I have not read The 7th Sign Trilogy so cannot comment on that. I found this story to be riveting and am going to get the next one right now. Those sales for "first in a series" catch me every time.

If you like paranormal stories of witches, sorcerers, vampires, and shapeshifters, with some violence, romance and a bit of sex (they don't stop at the bedroom door but it doesn't dominate the story), I highly recommend this audiobook.

'Magic and mayhem abound'

This would have to be my favorite trilogy from the most marvelous Nora Roberts, told with dramatic depth and passion by Dick Hill. Brilliant, simply brilliant!
Irish legend and magic roar with uncompromising fervor from centuries past to modern day, where the heroes and villains must inevitably face-off in the final chapters.

This character driven tale took on a life of it's own right from the start and I thoroughly enjoyed, and was captivated by each and every word!
Marvelous story Nora! Your creative genius, attention to detail, wonderfully woven plot and dramatic incline to the awe-inspiring conclusion was nothing short of devastating! I was a 'wet noodle' by the end, happy to curl in contented bliss after such a wondrous ride...

Very enjoyable

I could not stop listening to these three books - this being book one of the trilogy. The beginning of this book was a little hard to get into because it's difficult to put everything into context. But as soon as the characters are established it becomes very enjoyable. By the time you get to the end of book one of this trilogy, you won't be able to wait to start on book two and three.

What have you people been smoking?

This narrator makes the book even better. After listening to these via my public library I actually bought them on Audible. Each character has a different accent, a specific voice and is well performed. Far from being a bland-hum-drum-disappointingly-watered-down-version of just another paranormal romance, it stands out for me in a sea of other wanna-be's. Each book just gets better as the series progresses. I have no idea what the other reviewers are talking about and believe that either they're high or delusional. Trust me and buy-on my fellow listeners. You won't regret it.

VERY GOOD LISTEN

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

Yes. The story line is good. I'm a fan of "good vs. evil" especially with a few twists, turns and romance.

What did you like best about this story?

Keean's character.

What does Dick Hill bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

His voice, of course. His Irish brogue; his ability to go from deep, husky male baritone to small, quiet and soft female voices. He brings you into the scenes through his inflections and it is if you are watching a play. Wish he would narrate more recent fiction, especially those with southern drawls, Irish brogues and lovemaking.

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

Yes

Any additional comments?

I read this book many years ago but it was "flat" compared to listening.

Performance not that great

I have read these books before and really liked the story so I figured I would get it on audio. it was very very difficult to understand. I actually kept going back and listened to chapters two or three times

Horrible sound quality and narration

Would you try another book from Nora Roberts and/or Dick Hill?

I regularly listen to books by Nora Roberts and might have liked this series if there had been another narrator. Dick Hill has a good voice but it is not suitable for the female characters. Further, the sound quality is so bad that for some of the female characters, Mora in particular, it is difficult to understand what he is saying.

What other book might you compare Morrigan's Cross to and why?

The story was interesting but the narration got in the way.

Would you be willing to try another one of Dick Hill’s performances?

Perhaps, but not for a book with so many female characters.

Narrator is unbearable

The story is the same as ever other and can't even hold my attention. What did hold my attention was the horrible voices of the narrator and his need to make wet smacking noises every two seconds. It was a waste of a credit!!!

pleasurable passing of time

this book was my first Nora Roberts book. I don't think it'll be rembered for years to come as a classic of modern writing, however, i just enjoyed it. i wound up getting all 3 books in the tril. i must admit that i have an easy time of just "rolling with" stories (not too judgemental) so i am more forgiving than some but im not like a plot slut or anything, it was a decent book. i did really get into it and cried and laughed and all that.
