Distracting accent in female narrator

The story started off well and I was enjoying it, but I found the female narrator’s accent very distracting. Sometimes the heavy accent (Canadian?) was so strong that I had to think a minute to figure out the word she said, and I finally had to quit listening because it was so distracting from the story. A DNF for me.

Nothing special, drags in the execution, not bad but not worth hours of my time either. Listened to parts of several of the deities hoping it would get better, but there’s nothing to set it apart from other just okay futuristic romances out there. Not worth keeping.

Story is a typical Kristen story, killer characters and personalities, lots of action and fashion, along with good dialogue. But it’s a bit slow in areas and of course has that annoying British slang when the characters and setting are purely American. I like this new series, sort of following along with the Angels AND the Phoenix office of The Hot Bunch. And of course Tex - not a good story without Tex, although I’d have liked to have seen more of him. And I like that some of the Denver characters are moving to Phoenix- lived there most of my adult life and like hearing about familiar places. Really enjoyed seeing “Sniff” all grown up and finding his place. Will be following this series as I have been since she first came on the market all those years ago, and as I have all of her series. But I sure wish she’d get an editor who’d stand up to the British slang - it’s jarring and unnecessary and out of place. She’s too good an author to let those kinds of mistakes / crutches make her work less than it could be.

Loved the characters and how they were able to build a relationship, admit their faults, and fight for what they needed. Great story, and the narrators added to it with their portrayals of the characters.

Love Kristen Ashley - always auto buy and preorder. But this performance was marred by the actor’s habit of seeming to gasp after words and using over the top
emotions for the characters so they sounded more like caricatures. Disappointing.

This is a great series, and I wanted to love this. But the narrator voices were all wrong and just ruined the experience. Sorry to have to say it, but the narrator is crucial in listening enjoyment, and these just didn’t do the writing justice. Even if the story is wonderful, the wrong narration makes it unenjoyable. The male narrator sounded much older than the character. He’d have been great for the character Dragon or Doc, but the others were men in their 20s and 30s, and his voice sounds too old for them. Don’t misunderstand - he’s a great narrator, showed good emotion and character changes, but he’d have shined in another story. The female narrator was obviously new or untrained - her voice was fine, but emotions were way out of the norm, overly-dramatic, yelling and sounded whiny instead of scared or sad. I am a big fan of this author, love this series, and was so looking forward to listening to it, but I haven’t be able to get through more than a few chapters before giving up in frustration. A.J. If you’re reading, I’d love to see the Voodoo series in Audible, and would buy every one of them as soon as they come out in audible, but please find the right voices. I would have loved listening to this series if the narration had been good, but I just can’t buy them when I can’t enjoy them.

Love Susan’s books and auto-buy every one. But this narrator makes no attempt to change voices for the characters or show any emotion. And I hate to say it but I actually had to stop listening because it gave me a headache. Her teeth whistle sharply when she makes S sounds, and I found it really hard to listen to until I finally had to turn it off. I won’t be buying stuff by this narrator - I know she can’t help it, but it really hurts my ears.

I am a huge Susan Stoker fan and have all her books in ebook and audible. And I love them. This new series promises to be as wonderful and exciting and sexy as the others, and I love this story, the characters, and how Susan is setting up for the series. However, not liking the new narrator. I like her voice tones and cadence, and she reads quite well, but she over-pronounces the words. She also made Caite sound whiny and weak, Rocco sound like one of those "all muscle, no brains" types, and the other guys sound a lot alike so it became difficult to know who was speaking. But overall, it was an enjoyable story, and I wouldn't stop buying Susan's books over this narrator - she did an acceptable job.
