Why is Arron Shedlock even listed on this?

Aaron Sherlock only narrates the 5 minute epilogue/teaser for book 2. Completely unnecessary and seemed like a money grab to get Shedlock fans to purchase. I would’ve rated the performance a 4 for this but female narrator who carried this production shouldn’t get dinged for poor casting decisions on unnecessary male talent.

Samantha Cook does an AMAZING job narrating this fun story in its actual entirety (epilogue not withstanding).

Really hope rates paid to the talent were based off of their recorded time and not name recognition.

I really tried to make it through to the end of this story but after 4.5 hours I had to call it quits…and that sucks. I hate giving up on books.

I’m giving the story 4 stars because of the character & plot build but I had to rank this audio book low because of unfortunately poor casting. I’ve listened to both narrators in other works and there were fine,but they were completely miscast for this book. Both sounding decades older than their 29/30 year old characters.

While having a mature voice, Ms Taylor could’ve benefited from a younger sounding male counterpoint to balance things out. Instead, Rock Engle came off as a late 50s-60s Casey Kasem impersonator. Not sexy or romantic at all. If this were a noir story he would have been perfectly cast. Another unfortunate issue with Engle was his pitchiness. This is unlistenable with ear buds as some of the pitch & emphasize was so high or inappropriately placed it literally had me jumping and not a could way. My ears literally hurt listening to this.

Sorry ladies.

Cute story with a nice tie-in to done of the author’s other books. I wasn’t a 100% fan of the narration though. The male narrator was new to me & overall did a fantastic job except in the same two areas I was having issue with on the female narrator: both lacked when it came to doing voices from characters of the opposite sex from the narrator, and in several places their narrations didn’t match the tone of what was going on in the story. The supporting female character voices the female narrator used were also “off” - same voice tones used for a 20 something year old & matriarch characters - everyone sounded older and stuffier.

I love this series & gave the first two books 5-stars across the board. I couldn’t in good conscious do that this time all because of chapters 29 & 30. It’s unfortunately something I have seen in books written by more than one person before, and it could have been avoided had the book been edited properly. I won’t spoil the story but chapter 30 refers to an event not having happened yet — where in chapter 29 the event was very explicitly described in detail. Timelines and cohesiveness in a story are important. Will this keep me from completing the series? Nope. Not at all.

Great stories, but I should’ve broken up listening to them to appreciate the storylines a bit.
Narration was out of this world. Great “narrator” voice and very specific & well executed characters’ voices which she maintained from one story to the next, when she could face easily reset in each book.

I purchased this audio book not only for the story but for the talent. I really enjoy Joe Arden as a narration. He. Was. Not. In. The. Book. There was only a female narrator whose style of reading I am not a fan of - ends if sentences ending in a question or like an unfinished run-on. Unfortunately the storytelling affected my ability to enjoy the story, which was only so-so. I’m admittedly hard on storytelling that involves law enforcement and this story took way too many liberties in that area than I could ignore.

I usually Brynn Asher’s stories but I had a hard time suspending reality but I can’t get into a story of a heroine would leave an abusive controlling relationship into a new relationship with a super alpha. I mean, there’s Alpha and then there’s gaslighting, which is where I felt this went. Narration was wonderful. I’ve never experienced a bad reading by Aiden Show.

Just not feeling it. Not a lot of substance to the story. While I love these narrators I don’t like how their portions are divided. It’s not by character. Both narrators reading from multiple POVs (same & opposite sexes), and too many different accents & voices. Just hard to “get into.”

It was great to hear some of Eddie Vedder’s stories but there was no real connection of thoughts. What was the point of making the recording? There’s usually a story behind these words/music recordings. I’m not sure what he was trying to say, and in that sense it unfortunately it just came off as an opportunity for him to make a few bucks. The music was great. I loved the new arrangements of some of the older songs & it was great to hear and understand the lyrics.
