Funny, sweet, and sexy with a little action thrown in

Revisado: 12-26-24

This was a great listen. I always love Greg Boudreaux as a narrator, he has a great voice and is consistent with the character voices.
The stories and characters kept me engaged and had me cracking up throughout.
Very enjoyable “read”

Very disappointing listen

Revisado: 11-28-24

I love the story and world building. Always fun.
However, I was very surprised at how bad the narration of this is.
Dick Hill has read most of this series and while he wasn’t always consistent with his voices throughout, he did a good job.
With this book, suddenly he has changed the pronunciation of many names, and added some very odd accents for characters that have been in many of these books.
Not sure about the time between recording this book and the rest of them but this particular book is very off putting when teaching the chronological end of the series.

Fun listen

Great narration, (Greg Boudreaux is one of my favorites) with very good characterization and lots of laughs. Just a light, fun story.

Great story, poor narration

Revisado: 07-29-23

Really enjoyed this installment in the series from a story perspective but the narration left a lot to be desired.
Way way too many pauses between one person speaking and the next so it almost doesn’t sound like a conversation. I thought a few times that the playback stopped or my earbuds gave out.

This went past believable

Revisado: 05-30-23

Generally a good story but the ease with which the team was captured and the penultimate torture/exposition scene was beyond my “suspension of disbelief” threshold. Very “B-movie villain” scene.

Deaths that were unnecessary to the plot and yet another DS who was colluding with the bad guy. This makes two in a row related what is basically the same case/cases and the same bad guys.

And really no mystery at all from the beginning that the two were colluding with one another and that the DS was linked to Bosco.

A disappointing installment of the series in my opinion

Narrator failure

Revisado: 10-03-22

I’m not sure why a different narrator was chosen for this series, rather than the original narrator for the first series in this universe but the choice was not beneficial for the story.
Not only are the voices not even close to the first series, pronunciations of most unique words are completely different. It would have been nice if the narrator would have at least listened to the first series of books for pronunciation alone if nothing else.
What is completely infuriating though is the sheer lack of differentiation between voices, very often you can’t feel the difference between two voices in a single conversation.
Also, total failure at most of the feminine voices.
And giving Zalasta what amounts to an Irish accent? Ridiculous.
The story is fabulous, of course, and I only made it through the whole thing because I do love it and wanted to have the audio version.
I would not recommend this listen to anyone, however.

Disappointed

Revisado: 07-16-22

While I love this series and all the characters, this book was a let down. It really could have been a shorter story the way it was presented.
Although the third book in the story, it did not progress the timeline any farther and gave very little new information. I feel like we already knew a great deal of the storyline from the Segonian.

Like a few other reviewers I noticed a naming error in the preview/teaser for the next book so I hope that is corrected before the book is released.

Just one reason

Revisado: 06-24-22

Just one reason for the low performance score is the female narrator’s attempt at a British accent. It would have worked if Liam was an old, stuffy aristocrat in a Victorian era romance. It did not portray the fairly young man that Liam is. Almost made me return it at first hearing it but I love Teddy Hamilton so I kept on listening.

Good story, lackluster narration

Revisado: 06-15-22

Really enjoyable story in the series but wouldn’t have bought if it wasn’t a book in a series I enjoyed.
Narration is overdone, pretty over dramatic, for the book, like everything was a suspenseful moment and/or climax.
Be sure to listen to the sample before buying!
