A Midsummer Night's Scream
The Dulcie O'Neil Series, Volume 7
By: H. P. Mallory
Narrated by: Kate Tyler
This is an audible book I requested and the review is voluntary.
I enjoyed this book, it had the paranormal fun I like but it ended in "to be continued" which I didn't like.
This book has pixies, fae, werewolves, vampires, and more. It has action, romance, adventure, and sexual situations so think 18+. I was thinking this is going to be a 4 star book but then when it just stopped and said, "to be continued", well I hate cliffhangers!
The narrator was great! She made the voices wonderful! All the men, creatures, or women! Great performance!

I have loved this whole series. But after waiting a long time for this book I was really disappointed.

The book was hard to get into and actually took until about half way before I thought it was interesting.

Then just as the story was getting good it ended in : To be continued....

I do like this authors books, and I hope the next one will make up for this book's shortcomings.

Short like her other stories, which I love her others, but this one seemed very repetitive and the scenes seemed to drag on. I found myself skipping over sentences just to get to the point.

I love HP's books, but this one as glad as I was to find ourselves in the Dulcie story line again, was incomplete and slow moving.

The book is about how someone kidnaps Dulce, which doesnt happen till HALFWAY through the book. Most of the book was her and various men exchanging comments about how hot she was and how much they wanted to get in her pants. Her boyfriend was MIA most of the book, which is fine, but their one sex scene together was rather terrible. I think it was supposed to be hot but I would have told him to go screw himself if he talked to me that way. He doesnt seem to respect this supposedly smart, courageous and strong woman.

The story continued, dragging on, and then ended just when things got interesting. Literally ended. To be continued right in the middle of the story. No wrap up or anything.

Very annoyed and disappointed that I paid for half a book, and not even a book to her usual story level.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.

Its been two and a half years since the last book in this series and I am not sure why the author bothered, because she hasn’t really got a new story to tell. Most of this book consists of an inane dialogue between Dulcie and Jax , followed by an equally ridiculous conversation between Dulcie and Bram. You could have more fun watching paint dry.
This is a pity as Dulcie is a great character and deserves a much stronger story than this and definitely better protagonists than Bram and the extremely pathetic Jax.

Also I hate cliff hanger endings, how long will we have to wait for book 8, two, three years???

Mostly fluff...

There's is very little substance/content to this book. At least 50-100 pages could have been cut out. The rest is fluff and/or Dulcie's internal (repetitive) dialog. After awhile I started scanning through the book just so I could skip all of the fluff. Incredibly frustrating!!

Need to read

I can't get enough of hp's books!! They are just that good. From start to finish you'll be glued to this book. Forgotten friends or enemies reappear. I didn't even see this coming. Can't wait to read the next book.

So we are introduced to yet another person obsessed with Dulcie. We get a twist in the story line that came out of nowhere...but not in a good way. I loved this series at the beginning but it has seriously lost some steam.

Now what??

Oh my...this book is one big set up, and of course, Dulcie walks right into it. Not much from the other characters in this one. I'm gonna start the next one...these books flow nicely together.

This is book 7 of the Dulcie O'Neil series. If you have been reading this series, then you know that book 6 came out in 2012 and this one finally arrived in 2015. Three long years before we finally to get know what else is happening in Dulcie's world.

Knight is in the Netherworld for business while Dulcie is holding down the fort at the ANC headquarters. She is bored until Knight shows up with a prisoner. Jax has turned himself in, supposedly wanting to get out of a life of crime. Of course, things are not as they seem and Dulcie is in trouble.

I really like this series so I am glad the author brought it back. Hopefully, we don't have to wait 3 more years for the next one. This one left me hanging, wondering what happens next. Gotta love those cliffhangers!

It was great fun to visit Dulcie, Knight and company again; it has been far too long since we were able to travel with them. This book was centered more on Dulcie than anyone else, except for Jax the new Loki she encounters. I know many of the reviews were not happy with the way the story unfolded but other than, it did not move as fast as I would have liked, I thought it was very interesting. The mystery part kept me guessing the entire time and other than I really dislike cliffhangers, I totally enjoyed the book.

Hurry up with book 8!

I loved the continuation this book finally gave to Dulcies story, but I must admit seeing "to be continued..." at the end of a book in the middle of a thrilling scenario is a readers worst nightmare! So I hope the next book in the series comes quick...
I'm a reader of all of HPs series, so to anyone who likes paranormal romance books, I suggest they become acquainted with her too! She's a great author and makes every series different and interesting in its own way!!!

Boring drawn out scenes....

I love HP Mallory. I have read all of her novels, and I loved her series about Dulcie. It pains me to only give her 3 stars on this book. But, there was a lot of talking and very little action, even though it was pretty clear what was going to happen. I ended up skimming the remaining half of the book....Hoping the next book to this series is better.

I love Dulcie, & was so excited to hear about a new book; but this 7th book was hard for me to get through. I can't understand what it was but this book didn't do it for me. I still plan to read new books if there are any, & perhaps its just me, so with great hope i await news of another book and pray my desire to not put Dulcie down will return.

I love Dulcimer series, but this was so boring,I'm reading and reading waiting for some excitement,finally when something happens it's someone from the past,not someone new.Dulcie should have more self esteem, more confidence, for all the things she'd been through there should be more strength in her character. There should've been more to the story and not for the story to end abruptly

The way this book was marketed I expected it to wrap up Dulcie's story and end the series. I really didn't expect it to end with a cliffhanger! That said, it was short and I don't think much was covered in terms of story.

OMG! was so happy to see Dulcie back! This book had me on the edge of my seat. There were times I was talking to the book. I just couldn't believe the things that happened. The End, The End..... wow. so upset in a good way I guess but upset. can't wait for more.
