The Last Kiss Goodbye

A Novel

De: Karen Robards

Narrado por: Ann Marie Lee

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY RT BOOK REVIEWS

When New York Times bestselling author Karen Robards brought her irresistible brand of hot passion and chilling suspense to the paranormal romance scene with The Last Victim, it was just the beginning. Now her series cranks up the deadly danger and intense desire to the next level, as sexy serial killer hunter Charlotte Stone returns to action in her thrilling second adventure.

THE LAST KISS GOODBYE

Dr. Charlotte “Charlie” Stone has dedicated her career as a psychiatrist to exploring the darkest territory of all: the hearts and minds of serial killers. It’s a job she’s uniquely suited for, thanks to the secret talent that gives her an uncanny edge—Charlie can see dead people, whose tormented spirits cry out to her for the justice only she can provide. This blessing—or curse—gives Charlie the power to hunt down and catch madmen and murderers. It’s also turned her love life upside down by drawing her into a hopelessly passionate relationship with the lingering ghost of charismatic bad boy Michael Garland.

But there’s little time for romance with her supernatural suitor when murder comes pounding at Charlie’s door in the form of a terrified young woman fleeing a homicidal maniac. Saving her life places Charlie squarely in the cross-hairs of a sadistic predator nicknamed “the Gingerbread Man,” notorious for manipulating his victims like pawns in a deadly chess game. And now the queen this psychopath’s bent on capturing is Charlie. Refusal to play will only put more innocent lives in danger. Matching wits with this cunningly twisted opponent will require all of Charlie’s training and expert skills. But even with her devilish “guardian angel”—not to mention her favorite flesh-and-blood Fed, Tony Bartoli—watching her beautiful back, the Gingerbread Man’s horrifying grin might be the last thing Charlie ever sees.

narrator great

one of the better narrators. really enjoyed listening to her. she made it come to lofe

A fun but predictable listen.

The story was entertaining and the narrator was very good. However, way too much time was taken up with the main characters (one of them a ghost) having long drawn out conversations when other characters were also involved in the scene.

Guessed this early

I did enjoy listening even though I guessed this one early on. On to the third book.

Love love love this series...good story... Perfect narration. Two thumbs way up. One of my all time favorites

Michael’s voice

This would be SO much more enjoyable if Michael’s voice was a sexy man’s voice.

can't wait to get the next one

I am in love with this storyline. I am going to purchase the next book right now. Can't wait to see what happens next.

sexually intense, very little story line

I don't normally leave reviews. I felt i had to this time. This is the first book I've read by this author or at least the first one I remember. It will definitely be the last. The book, the entire book was about having sex with a ghost, ad nauseum. If the author had focused on what should have been the story line I believe it would have been a good book. As it is, it's just garbage. I wonder if I can get my credit back. 😓

love it

love it this book is intense and mind blowing you can't stop listening once you start
