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.

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.
