Historia
Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Historia
Here are the thrills, grandeur, and unabashed fun of the Greek myths, stylishly retold by Stephen Fry. The legendary writer, actor, and comedian breathes life into ancient tales, from Pandora's box to Prometheus's fire, and transforms the adventures of Zeus and the Olympians into emotionally resonant and deeply funny stories, without losing any of their original wonder. Learned notes from the author offer rich cultural context. This volume is a doorway into a captivating world.

Steven Fry is a treasure
Revisado: 01-31-24
I've always enjoyed the Greek pantheon and the flaws in the gods being so comedically relatable. Steven Fry brings such life to these stories it felt like hearing them for the first time. just a wonderful listening experience all around. I highly recommend this book.

Historia
When magic is up, electricity dies, cars stall, and skyscrapers tumble; when it's down, phones and guns work, and defensive spells can't protect your house from the creatures who stalk the streets. Equally dangerous are the competing factions of The Pack - a highly organized and military clan who governs Atlanta's were-bears, -wolves, and -hyenas - versus the Masters of the Dead, power and knowledge-hungry necromancers whose minds control hordes of blood-crazed vampires.

The first book in My favorite series
Revisado: 10-12-22
This is the first book in the series, and the world building can be a little slow. (That is the most critical thing I can say, the rest is amazing and the rest of the series is very fast paced.)
The characters are engaging and complex, funny and well thought out. the performance by Renee is flawless and her range is incredible.
I highly recommend this whole series and will definitely be listening again.

Historia
Dina Demille may run the nicest Bed and Breakfast in Red Deer, Texas, but she caters to a very particular kind of guest… the kind that no one on Earth is supposed to know about. Guests like a former intergalactic tyrant with an impressive bounty on her head, the Lord Marshal of a powerful vampire clan, and a displaced-and-superhot werewolf; so don’t stand too close, or you may be collateral damage.

like advertised, it's a movie in your head
Revisado: 07-10-22
the voice acting is faultles,they do a seemingly effortless job of really pulling you into the story. The story was a great as I've come to anticipate from written duo Ilona Andrews. the characters and worlds are always complex, engaging, and fully thought out. You never see the end coming, and it's always a welcome surprise. You won't regret this credit.

Is it just me or did he just give Andrea an accent?

- De: Ilona Andrews
- Narrado por: Steve West
amazingly written
Revisado: 07-27-18
The story is a book branching out from the Kate Daniels series. As usual Ilona and Gordon have written a fast paced, and engrossing story. The characters are complex and their world well thought out.
the only issue I had is with Steve West, his voice was good and the characters were consistent, that being said I really wish someone else had read it.
Maybe I'm too emotionally invested in the books, or I have been spoiled by Rene Rodman's flawless performance of the previous books. It feels like he just winged it. He didn't do ANY research into these characters. He pronounced names wrong and gave characters weird accents. I tried very hard to give him the benefit of the doubt, because its Hugh's story, not Kate's story. however when he gave Andrea a Italian accent I was a bit insulted. She's been a part of the series since book 2. She is from Texas, how would she acquire an Italian accent? Or Raphael for that matter, being a native of Atlanta Georgia.
A brief listen to other books, or even if he bothered at all the simply peruse the books he would have known this about the characters he was trying to perform as.
Tl;Dr
the book was awesome and adds another piece of the amazing world of Kate Daniels, however the narrator didn't do any research at all and failed to contribute in any real way to the book.
hopefully Steve wont be reading for these books in the future; at the very least learn where the characters are from before deciding on an accent.
