Love the ending, but narrators need work

I love the book I love the ending I actually scream like a school girl at the ending and just because Adrien deserved to be happy.
But this narrator ruined the books for me.

it's hard not to compare with Chris Patton because he nailed it. I miss my old Jake.

Another hit for the holidays.

Another masterful work by Josh. If I had a concern it is minor. The new narrator is very good with a couple caveats. Lisa’s English accent is a bit forced and the difference between Adrien and Jake needs to be more pronounced but overall excellent narration. Looking forward to the follow up events (no spoiler here). Thanks Josh and my cat Jake thanks you too.

Needs work, women aren't caricatures

The book is good, it certainly ends with all the best yummy feels. It was wonderful to see Jake fully accept himself, and to see Adrien get off his high horse, and for their relationship to be complete.

The audio? Not so much. I think I hadn't bought it because I'd heard so so reviews of it originally, but I just re-listened to the entire original series and jumped on the wagon. While I understand that the original narrator, who is wonderful, couldn't do this book, this narrator should have made an effort to see how the characters were handled.

Also, maybe don't make every female character a caricature. I wanted to stop him ever narrating anything again with the way he read Natalie. That was pure freaking awful. But he did well with Jake and Adrien and, thankfully they were ninety-five percent of the book.

Perfection!

Yes! Brilliant as always Josh Lanyon. A perfect novella to top off the series. The chracters were in tune, the narration was wonderful. I can't say more. It's a short book packed with lots of things happening...so much! Just read it! 3 hours well spent!

Love Jake and Adrien!

Am I disappointed that Chris Patton was unable to do this audiobook? Absolutely! However I think that Kale Williams did a fine job representing Adrien and the other characters. My main disappointment was his Jake. It was not distinctive or gruff enough. This book is an utter delight for Jake and Adrien fans though and the audiobook did not take anything away from my enjoyment of the story!
