Negative Positive
Title: Way below Nora's usual standard
Review: I ordered this book after reading all of the high praise here, but I just can't agree with them. The one thing that I've loved about all of Nora's books is that there is always one part of the characters that you can identify with. They're human, they're believable, and you care what happens to them. And that's what I found lacking in these stories. I found the characters dull and boring, sometimes even laughable (Night Shadow with its Batman-like figure). The stories were tedious and predictible (the last one being the best of the lot). Since they are by Nora Roberts, Night Tales is of better quality than most romance novels out there, but I've been spoiled by her better efforts. Skip this collection and go straight to Night Shield.A few reviewers mentioned that these resembled the J.D. Robb books. I've never cared for those (too dark) which is probably why I didn't like these.
Is the review positive or negative?
