Publisher's Summary

In this thrilling and suspenseful fantasy set in the world of the New York Times best-selling Others series, an inn owner and her shape-shifting lodger find themselves enmeshed in danger and dark secrets. 

Human laws do not apply in the territory controlled by the Others--vampires, shape-shifters, and even deadlier paranormal beings. And this is a fact that humans should never, ever forget.... 

After her divorce, Vicki DeVine took over a rustic resort near Lake Silence, in a human town that is not human controlled. Towns such as Vicki's don't have any distance from the Others, the dominant predators who rule most of the land and all of the water throughout the world. And when a place has no boundaries, you never really know what is out there watching you. 

Vicki was hoping to find a new career and a new life. But when her lodger, Aggie Crowe--one of the shape-shifting Others--discovers a murdered man, Vicki finds trouble instead. The detectives want to pin the death on her, despite the evidence that nothing human could have killed the victim. As Vicki and her friends search for answers, ancient forces are roused by the disturbance in their domain. They have rules that must not be broken--and all the destructive powers of nature at their command.

Solid Anne Bishop - narration sub par

This narrator drained almost all of the enjoyment out of this experience for me. I found her accent/intonations and treatment of punctuation pretty unpleasant, but it was her character accents/voices meandering like a drunk driver that really tipped me over the edge. In back and forth character conversations the voices blurred into each other and made it hard to follow, and WTF was with her Sanguinatti voices? Yikes. Just. Pick. A. Lane. And preferably an accent you can 'do'.

The were periods of lengthy 'narrator' voice that indicated she COULD be enjoyable to listen to when neutral, so it was her character choices that grated on me. To be very fair I don't know if the accents she was going for are indicative of the region of the US that corresponds to this region of Thaisia.

The story is a solid enjoyable Anne Bishop in the world of the Others. Humans are unbelievably stupid shallow and evil. Except for the designated Good Humans who exhibit basic courtesy. The others hate and mistrust all humans who are just 'clever meat' except for the designated Good Humans, who they fiercely protect almost instantly for no better reason than the aforementioned basic courtesy. Given just how easy it is to get along with the Others, and just how inevitably fatal it is to be a dick it gets hard to believe humans can keep on being SO STUPID. But then you turn on the news and think ' Yeah, I guess it is not a stretch'.

I like Vicki's character, it's nice to not have the lead be a stupendously beautiful ingenue. I always have a soft spot for practical characters.

Couldn’t stop listening

Great voice to listen to. The story was good, just like the other books. A very good and tidy ending to the story. I liked the characters of the Others especially those that live in the lake. It really helped to have listened to the previous books for the back story. I am looking forward to more books. The story was similar but not a repeat of the other books.

Another brilliant offering from the world of The Others

So many laugh out loud moments, particularly as an Australian, appreciate some of the new characters introduced.

Loved It!

What made the experience of listening to Lake Silence the most enjoyable?

An outstanding new storyline in one of my favourite series!

Any additional comments?

I've thoroughly enjoyed all of Anne Bishop's books (I just wish more of them were available on audiobook!), but this is one of her best.
