Very good production of a good story

Revisado: 04-30-25

This production drew me in immediately and made me feel invested in following the characters through to the end. I don't usually like to listen to dramatized versions of books - I did like this one. I'm not familiar with the author before this, but it was good enough to make me curious about their other writings.

Storm Front is an impressive first novel.

Revisado: 12-24-22

Jim Butcher is brilliant. James Masters is a great reader for these books. The Dresden Files series starts out with a great first novel. Butcher's writing gets successively better and better. Every book (and short story) in the series takes you deeper into Harry Dresden's life. I don't usually appreciate first person narrative, but The Dresden Files has changed my mind. Butcher's urban fantasy works have had a huge influence on the genre. Harry grows as a person and all the supporting characters are three-dimensional with an important role in Harry's life. James Marsters' performance brings everything into detailed focus and makes it easier for the audio reader to follow the story. These audiobooks are worthy reading and I reread them all periodically. I never get tired of the stories.

I'm so glad that Kimberly Alexis is backing reading more of the Anita Blake novels!

Sweet and bitter together. Very short!

This is an excellent vignette told from Big Cat's perspective. Well read by Kristine Hvam.

This needs to be re-read by Kimberly Alexis

Revisado: 11-10-22

The performance by Cynthia Holloway was worse than all the other Anita Blake novels she's read. The book itself is well written and the story gets an A+. My only wish is that there be less heterosexual hot & steamy sex and more homosexual encounters that are just as steamy.

Please bring back Kimberly Alexis

Revisado: 11-07-22

Please re-produce these books with someone better, preferably Kimberly Alexis. I won't re-read any of the Anita Blake books performed by Cynthia Holloway. She makes the characters very flat, snide and unlikeable - 2 dimensional. I plan to return all these books read by her.

Steamy and somewhat violent urban vampire fantasy.

Revisado: 11-04-22

Reading performance is poor, but slightly improved the previous novel in the series - Cerulean Sins. Characters are still difficult to distinguish. She is no longer attempting to read the characters with French and British accented English - also no poor attempts at US regional dialects. The story is a good one, as the main character, Anita grows into her powers and begins to resolve the problems in triumvirate.

Mediocre reader ... at best

Revisado: 11-01-22

Worst attempt at a French accent in English I've heard in many years. Almost quit reading. Most of the characters sound snide or snippy and at times are indistinguishable. Please re-record using *Kimberly Alexis* - her attempt at French-accented English is passable. And her character portrayals are well-defined without being pushy.
The story is quite a good alternate history & urban fantasy adventure.

Phantastic Western short story

Revisado: 09-15-21

Engaging character. First person narrative. This story gives the reader a good hint at the nature of the upcoming series.

This apocalyptic novel should be one book

Revisado: 09-15-21

Although the performance was excellent, the narrative of the book itself is too fragmented by dividing it into Three arbitrary 'Parts'. The characters are engaging and the story is a kind of interesting, but too predictable.
