    About this audiobook

    #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts presents a passionate story from the thrilling Night Tales series.…

    The moment her eyes locked on Colt Nightshade, she knew he was trouble. But Lieutenant Althea Grayson prided herself on being in control, and she wouldn't let her new partner ruin that. The man was a renegade, no respect for rules—and the worst part was he got to her. The way he challenged Althea's thinking, stared right into her eyes…and held her in his arms. What defense could her heart have when Nightshade didn't play fair?

      NIGHTSHADE. Enjoyable romantic thriller where lone PI teams up with Police Lieutentant to search for a missing girl. I would have liked to known more about Colt's background as it touched briefly on his close family, air force, ranch etc. whereas Althea's past was more to the fore.NIGHTSMOKE.Another good one from Nora Roberts. The characters were attractive and the story was a little to neatly wrapped up for my liking. Nemesis, a ghostly shadow that haunted the streets and helped the police in catching the culprit was not properly explained enough. I just didn't get that, at all.

      A pair of romantic suspense re-issues.Nightshade follows PI Colt Nightshade and Lieutenant Althea Grayson as they attempt to bust a violent porn ring and rescue a runaway.Night Smoke features an arsonist whose latest target, Natalie Fletcher, can't help but find Inspector Ryan Piasecki, the arson investigator assigned to the case incredibly irritating - and more than a bit attractive.Originally published by Harlequin Romance back in the early '90's both of these have a surprisingly contemporary feel. Strong pre-shadowing of the relationship and type of story NR tells in the Eve Dallas books. Quick reads, both of them.

      This book was horrible! I get that it was written in the early 90's so, it's on the dated side. But, it was still horrible. To be honest with you, I honestly can't determine if the storyline was horrible or if it was the narrator. Because, she was horrible too. Her female and male voices sound the same in each book. There's no distinction between the characters. I'm listening to Nightshade but, I hear are Cilla and Boyd from Night Shift. It's definitely going to be hard getting through the next two book in this series with Kate Rudd as the narrator.
    • 5/5
      Not for the faint of heart! The underlying subject of this entire story is child abuse. There is also the exposure of the vivid portrayal of bullying that can occur after one family has experienced a horrifying tragedy and the child(ren) still need to attend school and how judgments of well-meaning parents create the backdrop of the bullying. John Saul exposes evil with graphic images, gripping details, in a fast-paced, page-turning novel. Particularly in the climate of America at this time (2016), the novel cries out, "Let the innocent be innocent when one doesn't know all the facts!" I tried to solve the mystery as there are clues all along the way but I never suspected the ending.

      Great book and well detailed storyline and dicovery of ones self and how that individual can get stronger after a painful and hurtful memories of their own. But reaching insider and finding the strenght to save another person.

      Well what to say about this book......sigh.I am going to have to put it down and that is super rare for me not to finish a book by author, John Saul. I have read a lot of his books and usually give his work high ratings as I love his stories, but this book was just super slow with lots of repetition with things happening to the characters. The same things would happen and it just went out like that for most of the book as I did read up to about halfway. I also did not find the story to be that spooky - I was not scared out of my wits like I normally am with ghost stories written by this author.The other reason I am laying it down as there is quite a bit of emotions with one of the characters that has Alzheimer's as that rings too close to home for me as I was my mother's caretaker up till she passed away as she had Alzheimer's and everything that happens in this story with that character just brings back too much of what I went through with my mom. It was heartbreaking to see my mom go through that and to read a story about it just brings all that heartache back, so I just cannot read this book as it is very emotional for me.I gave it one star but normally I do not rate books I do not finish - I just made an exception this time.

      The Hapgoods appear for all the world to be a loving, happy, content family. That all shatters quite quickly when grandma Emily, suffering from Alzheimer's and seemingly intent on making everyone around her feel lower than a snake's belly, moves into the Hapgood's estate. Constantly comparing Joan Hapgood to her beautiful, smart but dead older sister, Cynthia, Emily strikes out to totally deflate her younger daughter. Teenage grandson, Matt, starts having violent, erotic dreams that plague him. Then the body count starts to rise.

      John Saul weaves a fascinating prose with dark family incidents. Trepidation, dread, doom all gathering. It's a enjoyable read of horror and suspense.

      Meet New Hampshire couple Bill and Joan Hapgood and their teenage son, Matt. They have a huge home, many friends, and the glow of Matt's glory as a high school football star. Life couldn't be sweeter, right? Wrong!

      Trouble begins when Joan's mother, Emily, accidentally burns down her own house and moves in with the Hapgoods. Matt is terrified of his foul-tempered grandmother, who refers to him as "Joan's bastard." Emily's odd behavior reaches a fever pitch when she insists that the bedroom of her long-dead (and much-favored) elder daughter, Cynthia, be recreated, prom dress, dolls, and all. The household's normal warmth vanishes, "the sense of welcome and comfort was gone." Matt complains of strange, perverted dreams in which the staggeringly beautiful Cynthia visits him, leaving behind the pungent scent of her Nightshade perfume. Joan also feels the presence of her dead sister, and has painful flashbacks to a childhood best left forgotten. A murder and three disappearances befall the small town, Matt spirals into depression, and Joan loses her mind. Throw in child abuse, torture, and a wickedly irritable ghost, and we have one whopper of a nightmare.
    • 4/5
      Very good and eerie mystery starting off with an abused child and cycling up into horror. The story centers around teen Matthew Moore, whose life and whose mother is turned upside down when his grandmother, in early stages of Alzheimer's, moves into their home. The story is well-written and as the mystery is revealed in stages, it keeps you hooked.
    • 2/5
      The story centers on a family (literally) haunted by a dead family member. This was my first novel by Saul, and given that what stopped me reading was the clunky style, above all, I imagine it will be my last. I hated Saul's way with point of view. A true, good omniscient point of view needs a strong voice and masterful style, or it comes across as just sloppy head-hopping, which is what we have here, as well as frequent rhetorical questions and other cheesy flourishes and melodramatic prose. There are far too many really well-written and gripping horror novels out there to waste your time on this one.
    • 4/5
      When the very first chapter of a John Saul book features cruelty to a child, you know that he's playing to an old and successful formula. Nightshade is full of menace, with twists and turns, some more obvious that others. It's a story of paranoia, revenge, lust and betrayal, with a supernatural curve of course. Gripping from start to finish, and Nightshade is no short story, Saul has penned another decent horror tale. Recommended for any horror fan, especially if you're bored of the torrent of vampire and zombie books which currently fill the bookshelves.
    • 5/5
      This book is a very adapted taste. It was very well written and will keep you guessing till the end. There are parts of the story that are very strange and unnecessary, but the book as a whole is amazing. If you are looking for a thiller that will give you chills, this is the book for you.
