That is until one of them saves her life. Dodging the Mediators and the demons alike, Ayala’s new knowledge of the hybrids’ free will challenges everything she’s ever known about her job.

Enjoyable tale.

The narration was OK. not my favorite, not the worst. The story is good. I skipped parts to get through it faster. I will try the next one.

Good story, mediocre performance.

I found the storyline good enough that I am curious to read more books and see what happens with the characters. My only objection would be the narration. The performer, does well enough with the narrative and voice of the main character. However, when it comes to other characters, especially men, she falls woefully short. Their voices come across as stereo typical and forced. She does not realize that it is the content, wording and flow that allow us to perceive the differences between characters be they men or women. Her rendering of male voices I find so ridiculous, that I'm not sure I can even listen to another book. Rather than buy sequels from audible books, I will more than likely buy them from Kindle and read them myself. I'm sure my imagination will be a vast improvement over the Audible performance.

excellent

loved it. really. going to buy extra credits now to get more of this series. kick ass heroine. urban paranormal.

Unique Story with Rough Narration

This story was unique and, after a slow start for the first half, finally picked up and got more interesting and complex. My biggest issue was with the narration. All but the main character sounded like cartoon voices; it was distracting and detracted from the story a lot. :(

Ok, found a good series!

This was an entertaining, hold your interest, Sci fi ? mystery.
I wanted to listen right through but was unable. Picking it back up was like easily falling back into the story. Hope the next one is just as enjoyable!
