Narrator Eileen Stevens is a warm guide through this unexpectedly comforting romance, which embraces life, death, and everything in between. Florence Day can see ghosts. She's also a ghostwriter for a famous romance author, but after a traumatic breakup, she no longer believes in happily-ever-afters. Enter her handsome new editor, who is demanding her latest manuscript. Stevens is especially convincing and charming as smart, anxious, gentlemanly editor Ben. Then Florence gets bad news and reluctantly departs New York City for her small South Carolina hometown. Stevens brings Florence's family--they own a funeral home, of course--and the town's cast of characters to vivid life. As Florence plans a funeral, takes moonlit strolls in a cemetery, talks with ghosts, and falls in love again, listeners will be rapt.

Listeners will be fully immersed in the small, quirky town of Cape Carnage.
Samantha Brentmoor and Robert Hatchet mesmerize and delight in a duet-style narration of this steamy, dark rom-com with the perfect touch of suspense. In this sequel to Tourist Season (2025), Nolan Rhodes continues to dig up more secrets in Cape Carnage and discovers that Harper Starling isn’t who he thought she was. As these two serial killers fall in love, their loyalties are tested, and they question whom they can truly trust. Brentmoor’s light, alluring voice perfectly captures Harper’s quick wit and feisty sass in an expressive, nuanced performance, while Hatchet’s rich timbre poignantly complements Nolan’s conflicted, dominant, and protective demeanor. Together, Brentmoor and Hatchet fashion vibrant and evocative character voices.

Eyre’s satisfying performance brings an emotional end to this series.
With this installment, narrator Justine Eyre concludes Singh's series about archangels, vampires, and the humans who share the world with them. Elena was transformed from a human into an angel at the start of the series and has spent a millennium as archangel Raphael's consort. Over the years, Elena has lost human family and friends, and Eyre brings poignancy to her narration as Elena remembers those she has lost. When Elena becomes pregnant with Raphael's child, Eyre expresses the couple’s joy and worry. Raphael is a powerful being, and Eyre aptly communicates this. She also handles the multiple characters who interact with Elena and Raphael with ease.
