Nice wee listen!!

Really quite enjoyed this! It wasn't one of those listens which leaves you completely blown away, but it was wholly enjoyable.
I thought the narration was excellent!
All in all, worth the listen and I'll be checking out Book Two.

Fun story, not complicated, good for a rainy afternoon

I got this book for free so wasn’t expecting much, however, it was easy & fun to listen to, nothing complicated, I’m looking forward to the next one. Perfect if you want a bit of light reading to chill out with.

Bad narration

Good story but the narrator is hard to listen too, draws every syllable out, painful

Okay

Not sure as yet on this one. I like the concept and everything but found myself a little let down overall with the story overall. I will continue on with the series and see how it develops. An acceptable read nevertheless.

interesting story line, great narration

interesting story line, I'm looking forward to further understanding the different families and their powers in future books. This book was clearly just setting the scene for further exploration of their world. an enjoyable listen. the narrator performed exceptionally well, an easy to listen to voice.

Similar to the Rivers of London series

I enjoyed this story, I’ve been hankering for a series set in the modern day that delves into occult stuff but isn’t too deeply into the fantasy element- something similar to Rivers of London. I wanted modern dialogue, an interesting main character, a mystery to solve. This was a pretty good choice.
I wish the Angel and ghost characters had some more character development but I suspect that this was written to be resolved over many books, so don’t be expecting that. Not the most enthralling story though, but interesting enough to make me want to read the next book.

Why matching a narrator to a story is so crucial

I quite enjoyed this book - though it's not on a par with something like the Dresden Files it was decently well written. But I think the choice of narrator was unfortunate and detracts from the listening experience..
This narrator is good at conveying emotion, but her overall style put me in mind of nothing so much as a Playschool presenter. The lead character is, I think, meant to be a modem female version of the hard-boiled (or perhaps soft-boiled) detective type, but this does not match up at all with the narrator's style, which seems more suited to lightweight romantic novels. I can tolerate it, but it's far from ideal and will make me hesitate about buying the next in the series.

Found the story to be a bit of a non event .

The story didn't really go anywhere felt like an extended introduction to the characters and the plot got a bit lost. The listening experience was saved by the great narration.
