Among the Living

PsyCop, Book 1

By: Jordan Castillo Price

Narrated by: Gomez Pugh

Victor Bayne, the psychic half a PsyCop team, is a gay medium who's more concerned with flying under the radar than in making waves.

He hooks up with handsome Jacob Marks, a non-psychic (or "Stiff") from an adjacent precinct at his ex-partner's retirement party, and it seems like his dubious luck has taken a turn for the better. But then a serial killer surfaces who can change his appearance to match any witness' idea of the world's hottest guy.

Solving murders is a snap when you can ask the victims whodunit, but this killer's not leaving any spirits behind.

Warning: This audiobook contains explicit adult content.

Great in book form, even better in audio!

What made the experience of listening to Among the Living the most enjoyable?

The narrator did an excellent job assigning different vocal personalities to his characters, I really appreciate that. I've read this series and knew it would be tough to find the right narrator, but Gomez is perfect. Vic's personality comes shining through, but my favorite spot on voice was for Warwick.

What other book might you compare Among the Living to and why?

Gosh that's hard, Jordan Castillo Price has such a unique voice in fiction. This is contemporary but not, believable psi-fi, moody, edgy, and hot all at once. Every part of my brain is fully engaged in her story telling. Maybe Jordan Hawk or early Anne Rice would be comparable?

Have you listened to any of Gomez Pugh’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Many, but the power and confidence of Jacob paralleled to Vic's seeming insecurity is interesting. Particularly since Vic was such a rock for his new partner during her crisis. IF that makes any sense.

Any additional comments?

This is so much more than what some might expect of m/m genre. Yes it's a romance, kind of, but more than that it's enthralling, and imaginative.

Interesting Story!

Any additional comments?

This was an interesting, entertaining, nicely performed mystery, paranormal read. I was bummed about Lisa, I liked her character a lot. Good audio

What made the experience of listening to Among the Living the most enjoyable?

I like the fresh take on the genre! Interesting view on checks and balances for the psychic use in law enforcment

Have you listened to any of Gomez Pugh’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I enjoy this narrator I believe this is the first one I've listened to but I would do so again!

Good Things to Come from this Series.

What did you like best about Among the Living? What did you like least?

3 1/2 stars.

This Audio Book "read" like a short story. It was not great but not bad either. A very good back drop to what I can tell will be an interesting series.This book wasn't long enough to get me invested in the characters. But at the same time, I do want to know where all the relationships and the stories are going to lead.

I felt like this was like the poor man's version of the 'Pindone Files' by Ann Somerville. Which I loved, but also was not spread out over multiple books in a series like this is.

In "short" this was a fast m/m read(listen) with some surprisingly fantastic female characters (which shocked me for an m/m story)

The big win with this audio was the amazing narrator. I can't say enough about Gomez Pugh and his fantastic portrayal of Vic and Jacob. Pure Perfection.

Have you listened to any of Gomez Pugh’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No. This was my first book narrated by Gomez and he was amazing. This book would not have held on it's own if I was reading it. Gomez Pugh is undeniable Victor Bayne.
