  1. I read MURDER AND MAYHEM and TRAMPS AND THIEVES by Rhys Ford, narrated by Greg Tremblay. I enjoyed the first book a bit better due to the humor, but both books were entertaining and had both a strong romance and a strong mystery. Tremblay’s narration was excellent. I’d give content B+ and Narration an A for both books.

    I then relistened to a couple of easy books due to life stress.

    Right now I’m trying to force myself to finish TRUST WITH A CHASER by Annabeth Albert, narrated mostly by Marc Bachmann, with parts by Iggy Toma. (This is my TBRChallenge read for this month.) This isn’t working for me on any level. The story is unoriginal and frankly boring. The writing feels stiff (I usually enjoy Albert’s writing) and the narration isn’t helping at all. I don’t like Bachmann’s voice for Nash, for one. He sounds like a chain smoking 50 year old. But it’s his narration style overall that doesn’t work for me. I would blame my dislike on the narration alone, but even Iggy Toma sounds stilted so I think it’s partly the writing.

    1. I continue to hold out hope for another Rook and Dante book, but it’s fading… ;(

      I like Trust With a Chaser but I do wish it had been Iggy solo. I’m literally just finishing up my review of the final Rainbow Cove book (Cooper North’s narration is awesome) so watch this space!

      1. I would definitely read another Rook and Dante book!

        There was too much repetition for me in Trust with a Chaser. Nash with his “duty,” Mason with his family troubles, and the unsuitability of their relationship went on too long with no other story arc to add depth. I guess that’s why I like RS, you break up the relationship pathos with another plot line, giving the characters something else to talk about and think about. Plus Nash was so far in the closet he was living in Narnia, so his 11th hour 180 was not believable to me. (For once the family drama didn’t bother me because it all seemed a little cliched.)
