Narrator Jeannie Sheneman brings listeners to Boneyard Key, one of the most haunted towns in Florida. Cassie Rutherford has moved into the old Hawkins house, not knowing she's getting a ghostly roommate. When her laptop won't charge in her new home, Cassie meets Nick Royer, the owner of a local café. Nick is a bit grumpy, and Sheneman gives his voice a bit of gruffness. As Nick and Cassie grow close, Sheneman adds warmth to her narration. She enlivens the audiobook through its secondary characters: gravelly voiced Elmer, the late owner of Nick's shop, who has lingered to give him advice, and Nan, the octogenarian psychic whom Cassie consults about her house. The listener can easily picture all the haunted happenings through Sheneman's performance.

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.

A fully immersive and emotionally resonant listening experience.
This monster romance follows Anna, a museum worker whose life changes when Frey, a cursed gargoyle warrior, comes to life and claims her as his fated mate. As they navigate the clash between her modern life and his ancient instincts, danger, mystery, and a powerful curse unfold around them. Narrated by Emma Wilder, the distinct character voices feel natural and consistent, uplifting the story and making it easy to connect with both Anna’s vulnerability and Frey's intensity. Wilder’s emotional delivery is rich and nuanced, capturing quiet, intimate moments as well as high-stakes tension. Dialogue flows smoothly with a conversational rhythm, and the chemistry feels palpable. Wilder’s subtle tonal shifts and strong control of pacing keep the story engaging.
