Narrator could be better

Revisado: 07-24-23

I love this series, so I am sticking it out. However, the narrator talks like she’s got cotton balls stuck in her mouth, and I can’t tell if she has a British accent and is trying to speak with an American one, or vice versa. I say this, because there will be times when her English-speaking character will have a slight British accent or her British character will have a slight English accent. She has read all of these books so far and they all sound the same. I wish they would get a different narrator.

good story, okay narration

Revisado: 04-26-22

I read this story prior to audible coming out and really enjoyed it. The narration is okay, but I can't figure out if she's Irish trying to do an American accent or American trying to do an Irish or British accent. It's really bizarre and she waffles back and forth saying one word that sounds American and another word that sounds British and then another word that sounds Irish. It's really odd and distracting. I will probably listen to the second and third book as it was okay enough to continue listening. It's just a little weird and I wish she would figure that out before doing the next in the series.

As far as the story goes, it's not my favorite of Stephanie Hudson's. I prefer the Transfusion series overall, but one is okay. I am interested in it enough to continue with the rest of the books when they come out. Ella, the Fernando lead, is a little irritating at times. I understand why she is due to her circumstances, but it sometimes seems like she is creating more of the issues then helping.

funny and lighthearted

Revisado: 09-17-21

this book was a little different than the ones I normally listen to. It's very sweet and there were several times when I was laughing out loud. The narration was great. she made the characters like bowl and believable. It was a fun story to listen to and I would highly recommend for a light-hearted romance.

good story, OK narration

Revisado: 07-21-21

I enjoyed the story and the fact that this is a spin-off of her Fae Chronicles series. I've read previous reviews about the narrator's voice and still decided to give this book a try because I liked the other Series so much. I do see what others have said about her sounding like a teenage girl. I do wish they had a narrator that had a more mature sounding voice but it wasn't so horrible to get past that I couldn't focus on the actual story being told. Wurster read, and I will probably finish the series.

So touching

Revisado: 04-04-21

I have listed to a lot of books bestirred narrated by Luke Daniels, so I was interested when I saw this book came up as a suggestion. I have never experienced grief like this first hand so I can not sympathize with him but the picture he painted made me empathize in a way I never have before for someone. The story was beautiful and tragic and funny and I do feel privileged to have listened to it. I am thankful that he he felt moved to share his son's story and appreciate that he was courageous enough to narrate it, as he lived it and can portray the depth of emotion like no one else could. And while it was a beautiful and touching story, it might be a while before I can listen to it again.

great story, not great narration

Revisado: 02-22-21

As always I love Stephanie Hudson's stories. However after having Draven built up in the Afterlife Saga, hearing the voice portrayed in this work was a complete let down. Russell Bentley might be fine narrating other stories however he does not have the deep brody authoritative sexy voice that I had built up in my mind. It's a little weird now to picture Draven's character with his voice. I have not at this point finished the story, however I know I will since I have to complete all her books, but it is difficult so far and I'm only on chapter 5. Also the Vincent character sounds like a whiny teenager versus the sultry character he is also supposed to portray. I wish they would audition people for these types of stories, and at least let the author has a say. I doubt this is the person she would have picked to read for Drazen.

good story, not good narration

Revisado: 02-13-21

like other reviews I read, the narration was not great. Her regular reading voice would have been fine for the main character's voice instead of the bizarre English, Scottish accent that she tried to do. It would be nice if narrators that are new to storylines would listen to previous narrators to see how they portrayed the characters voice. While I understand this is a different story line the characters are still the same and it's bizarre to hear Ari, who had a more sultry English accent in the Afterlife Saga then to go to this weird English, Scottish accent where the narrator can't choose how she wants her to sound. I ended up finishing the book via Kindle instead of Audible. I prefer other narrators to this one.

interesting story, so-so narrating

Revisado: 02-06-20

I really enjoy Lauren Blakely's writing and I love listening to Andi Arndt, she is fantastic. But the make performer was throwing me off and I couldn't get into his reading due to all the odd pause and emphasis on words that didn't for. He had a weird hitch in his speech I didn't care for at all. I'll finish the other 2 books because I was interested in the story enough to want to know what's happens. Just not a fan of his narrating.

not my favorite is the series

Revisado: 08-25-18

I was really looking forward to this book, having listened to all the others twice. So when I gunshot get to it, it was a let down. SPOILER ALERT: I didn't feel the end justified the means. Atticus already paid dearly throughout the series, even to the point of losing his life. The whole ending was just depressing and left you feeling bereft. There were a lot of loose ends and unanswered questions. I get the premise of actions having consequence but it seemed that Atticus was the only target for those consequences and no one else got their comeuppance or "learned their lesson". I thoroughly enjoyed the series up to this book and will more than likely reread them all again...except this one.

I just love Jim Butcher! everything he puts out is amazing and this was no exception. the POVs from the side characters really help to fill in the story deeper. again loved it!
