Narrator Brittany Pressley jumps into action, ramping up the tension as this story opens where the previous audiobook left off. Sonya has inherited a mansion filled with ghosts and a curse placed by a witch centuries ago. The witch, Dobbs, has cursed seven Poole brides to die on their wedding days. Pressley embodies evil as she voices Dobbs, who still inhabits the mansion. Sonya, along with her cousin, Owen; her friend, Cleo; and Sonya's boyfriend, Trey, attempt to break the curse. Cleo is from New Orleans, and Pressley adds a touch of Cajun to her speech. Pressley delivers a vivid performance as the emotions of the four range from joy to terror to determination in their attempt to prevail against Dobbs.

A gothic audiobook that deftly tugs listeners through myriad dark and romantic emotions.
A talented ensemble delivers this polyamorous horror audiobook set in 1850s London. After Agnes is hanged for witchcraft, Irene, voiced by Charlie Albers, uses forbidden necromancy to bring her lover back to life. But when Agnes, voiced by Ella Lynch, wakes, so does a new hunger for raw flesh. James Meunier portrays St. John, Irene’s undead husband and protector of generations of necromantic grimoires. In a story full of introspection, flashbacks, and the horrors of necromancy, each narrator sinks into their character’s raw emotions and conveys them with an intensity that will wrench listeners’ hearts.

Berman’s narration immerses listeners in this world.
Fred Berman brings to life the story of Luke Teivel, the son of Lucifer, who has been kicked out of hell and is now working as a detective for Infernal Affairs in Savannah, Georgia. Luke's new partner, Sorcha O’Malley, who can see ghosts, is coping with the murder of her twin sister. College students are being killed, and someone is trying to frame Luke for the murders. Berman ably handles a variety of creatures, from Luke’s hellhound mother to his imp companion, Helly, to the witches he interrogates. Berman gives Luke a deep, masculine voice that turns menacing when called for. He has a comedic touch when performing the demons Luke has imprisoned in his office wall.
