Boyd & Cilla's story is ONE star, Deborah & Gage's Story Only marginally better |
Nora Roberts is usually a master storyteller, but Boyd & Cilla's story moved at an excruciatingly slow pace. Cilla wasn't even pleasant and Boyd came off as an overbearing doof, when I'm sure he could have been much more if he'd had a different heroine and a different story. I appreciate that Ms Roberts did her research into radio DJs, but after the initial set-up of Cilla's occupation, it got really boring.
Gage & Deborah were a bit more interesting, but not much. At least they were likable people. |

You're either one or the other. |
To keep it short:
Night Shift: I didn't like Cilla at all. Her continuous nagging and obstinateness drove me up the wall. I pushed through the story running on pure stubbornness. Boyd bothered me with his terrier with a bone act. It was hard for me to like him at all dogging her.
Night Shadow: More up my alley. I liked the supernatural twist and Superman/Louis Lane touch. The court scenes were interesting and short enough not to drag the story. Deborah was interesting and knew when something was looking her in the face. No denial, no useless worrying. Gage gave just a touch angst with his Survivor complex but didn't dwell so much I wanted to choke him.
If you like a touch of the abnormal, you'll probably like Night Shadow. If you like a nervous, twitchy heroine, Night Shift serves well.
Based on what I've read and the way I feel, there's a slim chance you'll thoroughly enjoy both. |

A Great Addition for all Nora Roberts fans |
|
This is a collection of short stories that all have a common theme. If you enjoy Nora Roberts, this is definetly one you will want to read. I bought my copy in an airport and it really helped over a long flight and long layover. Made the trip very enjoyable! |

Excellent, fast-paced read |
|
When I first picked this book up, I was skeptical of the second half (Night Shadow), but was more than pleasantly surprised to find out what an excellent read it was. Truly wonderful writing, wonderful story, characters, and plot!!! Great book for anyone who likes the idea of a super hero. I likened the male lead to a Batman of sorts - troubled, but doing what he feels is necessary. Great interpretation of the archetypal male hero. |

So unlike Nora Roberts |
|
I was so dissapointed in this book. The first book "Night Shift" was very good. The second half "Night Shadow" was ridiculous. A woman who falls in love with a man who transitions from a normal man to an invisible man, is just so....stupid. To say I was disspointed doesn't begin to sum it up. I couldn't even finish the book. |
