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.

Narrator Jim Frangione returns the listener to the vampire world of the Black Dagger Brotherhood. Vampire Apex is working at an estate in northern New York, where he encounters Callum, a wolven with whom he has a shared past. Apex had fallen for Callum, but Callum had been tortured and wasn't able to deal with the emotions he felt afterward. It's been 30 years since they've seen each other. Frangione conveys all the angst they both feel. Also at the estate is Marisol, who is in danger, and Frangione brings out all her anxiety. Frangione provides the vampires with deep voices that match their powerful personalities. The listener will become immersed in the story through Frangione's fine performance.

Helen Laser returns for another fun performance of the Glimmer Falls series. In this sequel, Astaroth, a bargainer demon who is one of nine members of the high council, is sent to Earth. Unfortunately for him, the first person he meets is the powerful witch Calladia, who becomes his enemy a mere few hours before he develops amnesia. But with Moloth on both their trails, Calladia is forced to help Astaroth regain his memory. Laser's voice and intonation lend a natural storytelling element to her narration, and her character portrayals are distinct. Action scenes are thrilling and filled with colorful details, and the steamy chemistry between Calladia and Astaroth is quirky yet compelling. Listeners can't go wrong with this contemporary fantasy bundled with an amusing romance.
