Thanks to Rosenblat’s talents, listeners will be drawn into this adventure.
Narrator Barbara Rosenblat returns listeners to the planet Harmony, which is populated by people originally from Earth who have developed different psychic abilities. Alice Radstone has returned to the Hotel of Dreams, where she was accused of killing a husband she doesn’t remember. Rosenblat immediately builds the tension as Alice finds herself trapped in a hotel room by kidnappers—and with a dead body in the bathtub. Despite the chaos in her life, Alice manages to keep calm, which Rosenblat reflects by giving her a self-possessed tone. Owen March arrives in time to rescue her from the kidnappers, and Rosenblat easily conveys his commanding presence. As passion sparks between the two, Rosenblat adds heat to her narration.

Petkoff’s strong performance brings to life all the creatures of this fantastical world.
The mythical realm of Skein is inhabited by vampires, werewolves, witches, demons, and Berserkers. Narrator Robert Petkoff is masterful navigating the wide range of characters, giving each a distinctive voice. He lends the werewolves a Scottish lilt, and his tone drips with evil as a particular vampire. The Accession, an ancient cycle of battle, is about to begin. As all the factions come together, connections are made: A vampire princess escaping her sadistic brother ends up wed to a Berserker. A werewolf finds his mate in a demon witch. A vampiress and an incubus form a partnership.

Expressive narration and spot-on comedic timing make this audiobook a delight.
Narrator Alex Finke perfectly delivers the blend of sarcasm and dark humor in this tale of alternate worlds and fictional nightmares. With a slip of the tongue, Roxie Mitchell unintentionally wishesto become the heroine of her favorite romance author's next book—unaware that it’s a crime novel. As Roxie finds herself escaping a murderer, stealing a car, and ending up in London to catch a serial killer, the hardest part is trying not to fall in love with the character of her dreams. Finke’s enthusiasm is infectious as she voices the cast of characters caught up in the adventure.
