Storyline is what I liked

Unfortunately, the narrator killed this incredible story for me. I'm hoping to either have a re-record or a new narrator for the second.
I absolutely love this book so I was very excited, but disappointed in the performance. From inconsistent voices to awkward pauses.. even listening at 2.0 it didn't flow.

Great story, but the narration didn’t work for me

Story:
I really liked how this story followed Arabella’s journey from the human world into the supernatural. She has a lot to figure out, but with her mate and Alpha Grant by her side, it feels like she’s not facing it alone. The mix of highs and lows kept me invested, and I’m definitely looking forward to the second book—hopefully with a different narrator.

Narrator:
The narration didn’t work for me. At times it sounded like lines were recorded separately and stitched together, and the delivery was often flat or off. All the characters sounded the same, regardless of gender, and there were even moments where a male voice was used when a female character was speaking. It pulled me out of the story, which is disappointing because I really enjoyed the book itself. I wouldn’t listen to this narrator again.
