The two readers are the worst aspect of this.

If there was only one reader preforming this story it would feel like it had a much better flow. but for as fast as it goes it's a fun time. A gory romp full of werewolves, murder, and mayhem.

Loved the handoff reading.

I was not expecting a man/woman dual reading experience. Definitely add a lot to a light story.

Werewolf Noir

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would recommend this story to anyone who likes werewolf fiction, mystery, or detective noir.

What other book might you compare Skin Trade to and why?

It has more in common with L.A. Confidential than Cycle of the Werewolf.

Solid Werewolf Tale... Strange Narration

I really enjoyed Skin Trade, despite the fact that it was WAY too short! My only problem with this novella was the fact that it was narrated in a funky manner. Two narrators seem to be tag-teaming the narration which makes this tape sound strange. One or the other, please...Or have the man narrate the male parts and the woman narrate the female parts... But instead they seem to be taking turns by chapter. Very weird. Overall, a great tale. Wish George had made it full length instead of just a short story!!

It's not Song of Ice & Fire, but still good

If you are looking for something similar to the A Song of Ice and Fire series, you will not be happy. But, if you like the werewolf/vampire/supernatural and also hard-boiled mystery stories, then you will enjoy this.
I wouldn't say that the narration enhanced the book, but it didn't detract either, which can happen in many disappointing instances here.
