About this listen
When the Earth is threatened by a slowly expanding sun, mankind embarks upon a mission to send a mammoth Worldship to settle a new planet across the stars. The preternatural races step out of hiding to work with the humans to save what they can from their dying world. With the aid of the Fae, shape shifters, vampires, and other creatures of supernatural lore, the Worldship, Leviathan, is complete 1,000 years later.
It is a time of celebration on the Worldship, and Knith and her growing circle of family and friends are enjoying the holiday at House Shade. Knith, Aurora, and Caitlyn have to make an appearance at the Capitol celebration, where everything goes awry.
The gifting ceremony is interrupted by a citizen who contracted some sort of alien contagion, and the powers that be find themselves trying to contain the spread of the pathogen while the medical staff, aided by Aurora and Caitlyn, race against time to find a cure.
Then, the aliens came....

For solitary novelist Jorie Price, true love seems as fictional as the shape-shifting creatures she writes about in her paranormal romances. Griffin Westmore doesn't believe in love, either, but she's one of those not-so-fictional shape-shifters who secretly live among humans. When Jorie's writing gets uncomfortably close to the truth, Griffin is sent to investigate and, if necessary, kill the author to protect the secrets of her kind. But when Griffin unexpectedly finds herself drawn to Jorie, her world is turned upside down.

Incimplete?
The story seems decent enough, mainly geared towards those already familiar and up-to-date with the series. The difficult part is the audio recording itself. I believe the rough draft recording was turned around and published without any refinement, numerous mispronounced or misspoken words, misplaced pauses or emphasis, and the culmination is in chapter 4 around the 8 min mark where it's almost like we're hearing half a conversation. It's very difficult to follow.
