Helen Laser narrates this third book in the Glimmer Falls series, in which supernatural inhabitants live mundane lives in a suburban town. Introverted werewolf Ben Rosewood is in for a surprise when he drunkenly orders a crystal on eBay only to find it contains a trapped vampire succubus--and she's NOT happy. Laser's somewhat androgynous voice allows her to smoothly voice all characters of all genders. In an admirable effort to create distinction among the characters, some of the women end up with unflattering voices. Laser's amazed inflections at the end of sentences can be a bit much for what's supposed to be a sexy romance, but perhaps they fit this cartoonish town.

A dynamic performance of this series follow-up.
Narrator Fred Berman returns listeners to the world of Infernal Affairs in Savannah, Georgia, in this sequel to Hell To Pay (2026). Luke Tievel, the son of the devil and a hellhound, investigates crimes of a paranormal nature with his human partner, Sorcha O’Malley. Luke’s current case is the decapitation of two werewolves. Berman conveys Luke’s frustration as he tries to solve the murders as well as the mystery of why creatures are after Sorcha. When Luke was banished from hell, several demons followed him, and Berman gives each of them a unique voice, infusing his narration with a touch of humor. Berman’s tone vibrates with power when Luke confronts his enemies.

Review Posted Online: yesterday
Frangione is the longtime narrator of this series, and his familiarity with it adds to the listening experience.
Narrator Jim Frangione once again draws listeners into Ward's world, where humans coexist with vampires (unbeknownst to the humans). The vampires are being hunted by creatures known as Lessers. Vampire Allhan has an unexpected encounter with Princess Dennesha. Passion flares between them, but both are struggling with secrets: Frangione conveys Dennesha’s frustration with her destiny, and he fully expresses Allhan’s agony as he’s torn between trying to protect his sister and betraying his adopted family. The vampire race is protected by The Brotherhood, and Frangione perfectly brings the brothers to life.
