This story is ok. Typical of early Keira. But Collins fancied it up. Really enjoyed this.

This series is decidedly lackluster in the romance but fun in the mystery and the ghosts are the best part. I disliked the secret keeping and lack of relationship between MC’s but was invested in the mystery and the HEA for the ghosts haha.

I love Greg but this book was rough. It’s not his fault the book was awful, but he wasn’t on either. It’s probably because of how old both the book and the audio are. Won’t be continuing.

Kirt is typically not the kind of narrator I enjoy, but thanks to one of his most popular series, I’ve become attached to his narration. He did a great job with this. The story was surprisingly angsty and lovely for the most part. I have a couple of plot niggles but overall I enjoyed it.

I’ve read this book before and was unsure of Philip’s narration based on the clip. But he was incredible. The accents alone but he did such a great job with the emotion and subtly on such a long and poetic book. So glad I grabbed it.

I expected gay steamy action adventure, what I didn’t expect was basically the exact same plot of Temple of Doom and unfortunately one of the male MMC’s was just like the FMC from the movie and the other a reality tv star rather than Indiana Jones. Shrieking and swooning at everything and constantly having to get rescued. This author has never quite worked for me but I wanted to try because the plot is right up my alley. But it did not work.

But Joel is awesome so those stars are for him.

Joel, as always gets 5 stars because his narration is always impeccable. But once again, this author has left me fizzled out and left wanting. While I was expecting a nice comforting romance, I just ended up being bored by the repetitiveness. It was basically the same scenes repeated with different lines. At the apartment, at a hotel, on the road. At a ballpark. All talking in circles about the same things. There was just nothing to break up the monotony and by the end I didn’t care which made me sad.

I am a pretty huge Joel fan but this one was one of my least favorites. I 100% blame the writing. This story was bland and predictable.

You know those educational videos they showed us in school in science class in the US when our teachers were hungover or just done with life, and the narrator was joyfully describing the process of digestion like we should be really excited about it? That’s how Nick Russo’s narration of Charles sounds in this audio. I kept waiting for him to start talking about the miracle of molecules or the wonder of the nervous system.

Besides that, he did great for Brian and when any emotion was shown. The story itself didn’t hold up from my first eyeball read but I am still happy to read Brian’s HEA.

I tend to not leave a review of a book in an audio review because I’d like to give the narrator as much credit as possible regardless of how bad the book is. This book… is trauma porn. It has a lot of issues in the storytelling and blurb and content warning inaccurate. For those who need CW/TW, there is multiple on page suicide attempts and several scenes of on page physical abuse of an MC.

But the narrator is great. He’s new to me and I’m pretty picky, so despite not enjoying this very depressing story, I enjoyed listening to him.
