One Voice - 2 Characters ???

I had a hard time following who was talking because the narrator give a new character the same exact voice. Plus, too much was about the new character. It's a forgettable book, unless you give it a 2nd chance. Still, I wanted more about the original character.

The narrator…..

The story was cute, the characters enjoyable, but the narrator. I actually bought this book several years ago and didn’t start it due to the same narrator. I decided to try her again and for the love of all that is holy….she is just brutal. The odd pauses. In the. Middle of sentences. Was. Driving me. Nuts. I honestly wondered if there was a sale on commas and periods and she was reading the book as it was written…….
I can’t listen to another book with this narrator. I don’t mean to be unkind, but she needs better direction from the producers or something. Ironically, her blurb after the end is perfect so I know she can do it!!!

fire the narrator

Mindy doesn't write bad books.

This narrator can make dentists rich with listeners teeth grinding. horrible experience, I didn't finish the book.

don't waste a credit, by and read for yourself.

Decent, quick read, horrible narration

The story was cute fluff, vampires, witches, sphinx and other supernatural stuff. Loved that it was centered around a stolen library collection, as a book lover and volunteer librarian it resonated with me.
The narration was bad, choppy and didn't flow well at all, also a few cases of mispronunciation. I wish I had a physical copy of the book instead of audio copy because I doubt I will ever listen to it again.

2 hour distraction...ok. Narration is not good.

Narration is very odd. Weird pauses and breathing breaks. Distracting from the story. Reading is segmented in unnatural places during story telling.

Cute

Cute book. Not awful. Not great. It's a cute story with a bit of fun thrown in. I will keep an eye out for follow ups.

Immaturity

I admit I finished all four of the books in this series while being constantly irritated by the immature behavior that the protagonist continues to display, and her failure to learn anything from past experiences. Her childish rebellion more closely resembles a fourteen year old than a supposedly almost 30 year old. The narrator adds to this illusion, as her voice and reading style sounds like a fourteen year old. But, the storylines are creative, if contrived, and I consistently wanted to know how it would end.

Just can't listen to any more

Would you try another book from Mindy Klasky and/or Emma Galvin?

I might, might read another book by Mindy but not if its narrated by Emma, I have attempted to listen to this book four times and just can't do it. The story might be good but the narration is ruining it! It sounds like a monotone 12 year old narrating. There is no variation at all between characters making it very difficult to follow.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

Don't know

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Emma Galvin?

Any one

Narrator is HORRIBLE!

I could not find the story amid the jerky pauses and sing song presentation. Absolutely dreadful!
