The problem is the fault of the editor not noticing when the book was being recorded.

My complaint isn't her voice but all of the swallowing and smacking and as good as the book was, this was distracting. I have listened to Barbara Rosenblat readings before and have liked her in the past, I believe this was her poorest reading. I wasn't a huge fan of Drake's personality though. The story is a comical paranormal romance with a lot of blundering going on, kinda a reminiscence of Stephanie Plum trying to get fugitives. The side characters Jim and Renee were great and made for some comical relief. This was a funny book, but you have to keep in mind that the heroine is an idiot and just go with the flow. There were too many problems with the audio on this one to imagine the story line. I cannot see this book being made into a film. If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be? The whole audio needs to be redone to eliminate all the swallowing, pages turning and smacking done by the narrator. How could the performance have been better? I am getting use to her voice, but the smacking, paper shuffling, and swallowing needs to be addressed pronto. The smoker's cough voice of Barbara is not too bad. I will continue to listen to the series, because the story line is interesting and Aisling's sidekicks are funny, but I do hope that the next books have better audios. I had to adjust the audio on my phone and radio to get through the book.

The worst part is the constant swallowing and smacking. I could actually hear the narrator turning the pages as she was reading!!! The narrator has a smokey voice that sounds like she is smoking three packs a day and the character is in her 30s not her 60s. I was bored so I took a gamble with my credit.What I did not like about the book is the background noise. It took me 3 months to use a credit to listen to the book, because I was not impressed with the preview snippet. This series has a lot of potential like the Dark Ones series. Great zingers that had me sometimes wondering if my dogs are saying the same thing to me. The story has from funny parts especially the commentary from Jim the Newfoundland. What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting? If you could sum up You Slay Me in three words, what would they be?
