Rachel Morgan: The Hollows (6) - Where Demons Dare

By: Kim Harrison

Narrated by: Gigi Birmingham

Length: 16 hrs and 30 mins

Publisher's summary

The sixth book in Harrison’s New York Times best-selling urban fantasy series starring Rachel Morgan. A pacey and addictive novel of sexy bounty-hunting witches, cunning demons, and menacing vampires.

Having barely escaped being skewered by the criminal vampire overlord of Cinncinati, Rachel now has even bigger problems to contend with. The demon, Algaliarept, although banished back into the ever after has infected others of his kind with his interest in a witch who can channel demon magic. Rachel soon finds herself with not one but three hellions on her tail - and one of them is even crazier and more dangerous than all the fairy assassins, weres, and vampires on the planet.< /p>

Published as The Outlaw Demon Wails in the US.

Change of Narrator

If you could sum up Rachel Morgan: The Hollows (6) - Where Demons Dare in three words, what would they be?

Like any Star Trek Next Generation Episode its always good when Q Turns up. So when Al turns up again I say yippee.

What does Gigi Birmingham bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I like her new voices for the different characters but her male voices are just two high. The only thing that bites his her pronunciation of ley line and Piscary

Good story, lousy delivery

The musical interludes are really annoying and pointlessly break up the narrative.

New narrator is okay but mispronounces a lot of words and damn Jenks' voice is annoying.

Glutton for punishment

This series is driving me crazy, the sheer stupidity and indecisive behaviour of the main character is beyond belief. Rachel constantly takes one step forward and then two backward, considering she is supposed to be a 26 year old woman she acts like a braindead teenager with no ability to educate herself. Please let the character grow up because at the monent she is just tedious.

Horrible naration

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Gigi, find another job, please. Listening to your voice was a painful experience, God bless this is the only book from my favorite series narrated in a way that almost killed the story.

Any additional comments?

Despite your criminal choice of the narrator I am not returning this book, I bought it to listen to the story and I want to keep my collection complete. Please do not switch narrators in the middle of the series, I am paying for this terrible experience.

Loved the story

Love this series but please change back to prior narrater. I almost couldn't listen to it but book is to good to miss

Terrible narration

Not sure why they changed the narrator but Gigi Birmingham was not a good choice. Pronunciation was completely different from the previous books which made for confusing listening. There was not enough variation between the characters voices, everyone sounded the same and Trent sounded like a woman.

NEW narrator doesn't work for me

The new narrator doesn't have the range and keep mispronouncing key words and pulling me out of the story.

Her Rachel sounds almost like a valley girl and the serious voices are gone, as well as some accents changing.

Bad Narrator.

Cant stand the voice of the narrator. Its loud, hi pitching whining/moaning sound. Hard to hear and listen to. Bad performance.
