Someone Please Help the Narrator

Revisado: 01-08-24

I really enjoy this series even though it’s a bit pretentious but the narrator absolutely ruins it for me every time. Please help him out with how to pronounce the following words:

Secreted: definitions - to sneak or hide something away IE a secret NOT something that is discharged). He’s saying it like the second word, not the first. I don’t think the author meant the reporter would discharge the video from her body like a slime lol.

Skeletal: definition- shaped thin like a starved person. He’s saying something crazy like skel-eeee-tul.

Again - he’s just saying it really strangely like he’s fancy and British and I can’t deal bc he’s clearly neither of those things. Just say again, bro.

Always The Same With This Author, Why!?

Revisado: 12-26-23

She is SO talented and such an amazing storyteller but it’s like she’s a one tricky pony, always with the same overall bad guy (I won’t say it here but if you’ve read her other books you know exactly what I mean). I keep wondering why I buy these books and each time I do it thinking there is no way she will do it again….and she does.

It’s clear she must be working out some family issues or something but please if that’s the case go to a therapist and give us some new stories where the ending isn’t so darn predictable!

4 Chapters In and NOTHING

Revisado: 08-19-23

Yikes, when I tell you this author digresses into constant thinking from the character I’m not kidding. We are on chapter 4 and so far the character has actually walked out and back into a building. That’s all that’s actually happened. I’d keep listened just for Julia who is my fave narrator and why I bought it but nah, I’m good.

Narrator Cannot Pronounce Words

Revisado: 07-27-23

I took some stars off JUST for the narrator because he drives me nuts every single book. The way he pronounces secreted and a few other words wrong really triggers me lol. I wish they’d have him go back and fix it.

Weird Similarities in Series Storylines

Revisado: 07-08-23

I used to read Kim Harrison books and thing DANG this lady must be into some STUFF. I think the same with this authors books. Like hon, WHAT did your family do to you!? You can tell these books are therapy for some deep rooted family issues because she basically write the same book twice with new characters. Like spoiler alert but it’s the same twist - the person you suspect is bad and then surprise another person the protagonist is related or close to is also bad and then SURPRISE on and on and guess what it’s not a surprise when you just keep doing the same thing. Also, that’s all this book and the first have in common cause it’s all new characters and literally nothing else in common. It’s not a series, why is it labeled as one? Super frustrating bc the first book was SO GOOD. I’m so disappointed.

Police Can’t Pull You Over For No Reason

Revisado: 06-21-23

For some reason this really infuriated me LOL. The amount of stress I’d go through all for them to congratulate me for driving well? I’d legit sue them. I enjoy all of Donna’s books but don’t put things like this in them when they are so far from true and it isn’t a cute trope in the days of police misconduct and brutality imo.

Good Narrator, Slog of a Story

Revisado: 05-24-23

Good grief I listened for hours waiting for anything to happen and then I realized the author must just really like word vomit and nothing was going to happen. They need to consider an abridged version without all the pointless back story.

Ehhhh

Revisado: 05-21-23

I had a hard time getting into it because the narrator is pretty bad. In particular the portrayal of the character named Dusty is really annoying and sort of “screamy”. However, that’s just the start of the issues for me. I never realized how right wing Bobby A was as a person…which really wouldn’t have been a huge issue for me as I can deal with the gun toting “this man is so impressive women’s panties fall off” a lot of men write their protagonists as. What I couldn’t get past though was the obvious and just totally unrealistic portrayal of Trump. It’s hilarious they have to rewrite that guy to make him seem charismatic, intelligent, and like he wouldn’t fit one second pick economic benefits over people’s safety. Puh-lease bro. Also, the very sickeningly sweet tie in to Twister was gross to me. Get your own story my guy, don’t steal from others who did it better anyways. That’ll be my last B. A. book.

Where is the Love!?

Revisado: 05-20-23

This last love story fell really flat to me. It was all Doyle is closed off to love and like zero romance between him and Riley and then boom we are in love? Like he was more romantic with Annika. I just didn’t and still don’t see it.

As far as the plot of the series as a whole….it seemed like the gods created a problem and then decided that banging humans and making their offspring fight their battle was the solution. I’m just left thinking….why? Really weird but I enjoyed the adventure even if the plot still makes no sense as a whole. Just don’t think to hard on it I guess.

Great Narrator, Boring Story

Revisado: 02-04-23

There was just SO MUCH unnecessary commentary and endless backstory. I’m shocked I made it through, frankly. I kept thinking there was just so much more that could have been developed with the story like make one of the agents a nice guy and let that be the love interest and have that play out instead of a 30 second synopsis at the end. Or make the fox actually something of interest which I expected to be the case the entire time. It was such a let down. Was the most boring “thriller” I’ve ever listened to.
