Narrator took away from story itself

This was an intriguing plot with a decent mystery and personal story that kept me listening, but I nearly didn't finish because the narrator was so awful. She didn't enunciate the endings of certain basic words such as saying "ninetin" instead of "nineteen" and it was really off-putting, but what really bothered me was her mispronunciation of the last name Ortiz.

I can't understand how someone in this country, living in this day and age (when all you have to do is Google something you're not sure of), doesn't know how to pronounce a very common name like Ortiz, or how the producers of this audio book let that happen. I'm not even Hispanic, and I found it incredibly insulting. It's like mispronouncing Miller or Smith.

I won't be listening to any more books in this series.

Distracting pronunciations

I started counting and negatively reacting to the narrator pronouncing “ate” as “et” and “anything” as “enah-thin” and “nineteen” as “nighting”. It distracted me from the content.

Narration Is a Distraction

The narrator needs to expand her vocabulary , maybe read pronunciations of certain words., and most importantly learn how to pronounce nineteen, detail, Tyvek, anything, just about any word ending in ing, chevette, and others too numerous to mention. I've seen other reviews with similar comments and don't understand why the producer of the recording doesn't correct these distracting mistakes.

Terrible

I could not stand the narrator's voice. Her mispronunciation of several words was nerve grating.

The story was not remotely plausible.

loved it

I love the series it was it's been phenomenal I got one more books left and I'm very excited to start it

Great Book

Wish I had realized this was the third book. would have started with number one. Really enjoyed it.

Enjoyed the characters and story

The narrator mispronounced a couple of the words which always distracts from the story. The last five chapters could have been wrapped up into one, a lot of fluff. A few of the supporting characters could have been developed a little more, but coming in at the third book may have been the reason. Overall good story. Will have to go back and read previous 2 novels to see if my opinion changes.

Worst narrator

This narrator is unable to portray the variety of characters present within this story without sounding like the same character every time. It is confusing to the reader. Also an inability to pronounce words as they are naturally is very distracting. I am kind of disappointed, though I did enjoy the first book of this series. This narrator really really makes it hard to keep my attention on the book which is unfortunate considering it can easily keep my interest actually reading the written book. I do hope she explores alternative narrators, they really can make or break the story. It

Slow start

The only reason I gave this 4 instead of 5 stars is the slow start. I almost gave up on it, but in continuing I was surprised how it picked up and I was able to get involved in the story. Well worth the read.
