Summary

Amelia

Lego sets, Star Trek and junk food in my pajamas, these used to be how I would spend my safe and lazy days off. Now, what am I doing with my time? High-speed chases, running from Hellhounds, fighting witches, opening boxes that threaten the entire Vampire race, and stabbing bitches with my shoes.

But hey, at least I get to wear a pretty dress on my date. Now all I can hope for is that it isn’t one where people end up shooting at us again. That would be nice.

And all this was because I fell in love with a Vampire King. A Vampire King, who claimed me.

Changed the narrator 😩

I’m not sure if the reasons of the change of narrator but I was a little disappointed, while she was ok she wasn’t able to really express all the characters in the the way the last one was able , the story still kept you on the edge wanting / dying to know what was going to happen next but I just found the narrator a little flat … it’s always hard to adapt to change with regards to narrator but I will stick with it as the content of the book is just so good .

Fabulous listen

Enjoyed this book very much - surprised at the change of narrator and found it a tad harder to get into at the start, but still enjoyed.

narrator was flat making the performance boring.

The narrator was flat making the performance boring. As the book progressed she got slightly better but I found myself distracted during this entire book.

Story is wonderful..... poor editing.

A great continuation of the Transfusion tale. The narrating was good for me I had to increase the speed to 140. I think it has been set at the incorrect speed. Maybe Audible can fix. Love all Stephaine's books this issue wouldn't put me off.

Narrator spoils the the whole feel of the book

I was so excited that they had found a new narrator and they were to put all the series on to audible however I wish they had stuck with the original now. The only thing they had got wrong in the first three was they portrayed Pip as an old lady, she just needed to listen to the Afterlife saga as the narrator had nailed it in so many ways.

I hate to put down any actor or narrator and always try to get through any issues however this is a big thing to first change the narrator part way through and then put in one that is dull and lifeless. I am sure in other books her work is ideal however this time it is so very wrong.

This narrator is English and reads like a robot, rarely getting the characters to differ enough from each other - I sometimes miss that it is Lucious telling us his side. There is little feeling in her voice and it spoils many of the magical moments between these two lovers. The story is awesome and I have read all the books but I love how audible can bring to life a story and gives the listener an immersed experience. Stephanie is the best author for this genre I have known, bringing to life her characters and their feelings. I am afraid this narrator is so flat that I may not be able to get the rest of the series and I feel bereft, After listening to Afterlife the narrator they would really work for this series too, what a shame.

I can't even face listening to book 5.Bad narrator

what a shame. The story was great, but the narrator was mono tone. There was no passion in the voice, and to be honest, I lost concentration and drifted in and out of the story.. I'm really disappointed after listening to all of the afterlife saga. Bring back Rebecca Reinsford amazing voice...
