Cost of Honor

Honor Series, Book 10

By: Radclyffe

Narrated by: Keira Grace

Length: 9 hrs and 20 mins

Publisher's summary

Secret Service Agent Oakes Weaver is in the midst of the biggest assignment of her career - leading the advance team for President Andrew Powell's impending trip to Philadelphia where everyone expects he will be nominated to run for a second term. The last thing she needs is a tragedy among the president's inner circle that might not be an accident, or the sudden recruitment of Ari Rostof, a woman who might be a lot more than she seems. But Oakes doesn't get a say in policy, she only has to secure the president's safety - at all costs.

First Daughter Blair Powell and her spouse, Cameron Roberts, are among the reelection campaign members accompanying President Andrew Powell to Philadelphia. While the president may be protected by his Secret Service agents, those close to him are literally in the kill zone, and his adversaries will stop at nothing to further their cause - even mass murder.

Narrator used

I was excited for the next book I. The series to come out. I was disappointed when the narrator was not the same as the other books. This narrator made the characters to feminine.
Just changed the whole perspective of the listening experience. If another book comes out I hope the original narrator is used

Different tone for Honor Series

I am not usually a reviewer when I give 4 or 5 stars. However, I wanted to this because of some reviews I have seen regarding the switch in narrators. I love an Abbey Craden narration and will listen to a phonebook narrated by her. Keira Grace brought a different tone to the Honor Series. It was softer than previous books. I think it works because there is less violence than in past Honor books. No one was killed other than Andrew's campaign manager. Craden tends to have a brooding voice and it was not needed in this book.
All of the main charcters, especially Cam and Blair seemed to be more calm and less harried when trying to find the bad guy.

Loved the story, hated the narrator

I have absolutely loved the Honor series by Radclyffe... After discovering her on Audible escapes about a week ago, I have plouged my way through all ten books and they have been a great source of entertainment over a summer break. She has a brilliant writing style with the ability to draw on all your senses with her descriptions. 9 out of ten books have received a 5 star rating from me, except this one.

The cost of honor was completely lost in the narration... It honestly sounded like it was narrated by Siri. Her voice was monotone and her dialogue completely unannimated (imagine a sex scene narrated by Google assist ... You're welcome!) and the quality of the audio sounded like sound fillers were added in mid sentence. I would have deleted it if it wasn't for the fact that I wanted to complete the series.

PLEASE bring Abby back!!

great Book

Loved the book, however had a hard time getting into it as they changed the narrator from Abby Craden and you get used to the characters and this new woman's voice is terrible. It ruined it for me.

Waited a long time for a new Honor series...

Disappointing. Not her strongest book. Comes off as rushed. She usually has a good build up. Not so much on this one. This installment comes as a set up for the next one.

Narrator was robotic at times. Next book, wait for Abby Craden to be available please.

Narrator?

Abby creighten narrated the previous eight books, had a hard time adjusting to a new narrator!

Narration is horrible

I couldn’t make it through this book. The series is awesome and past narration has been on point. I couldn’t differentiate characters and the voice was so monotone I had to stop listening. I am not usually so critical but this was not a good move.

Freaky, quasi- mechanical voice?

It was disconcerting to listen to this book as half of the audio intermittently sounded as if it was a computer generated voice. This was weird and very mechanical. I love the series but the performance definitely missed the mark.

wrong narrator

Detailed crossover story lines, but good grief the narrator just mangled the telling. There is so little difference in voices from one character to the next that it is somewhat painful to keep listening. It was really obvious since the entire series up to this book was done by Abbey Craden and she really distinguishes one character from another. Great book, not so good narration

Not my favorite

Ok story, not as good as the rest. Also, the first 9 books had a different narrator-Abby Craden, who I love. So WHY on the final book in the series would they switch narrators? The whole thing was just off.
