An excellent performance from all narrators. Shane and John’s voices were distinct and Emma’s voice of not only Beau but Danny’s is exquisite. I could listen to her rendition of Danny all day.
ARTICULATION - clean and clear.
BREATHING – controlled, volume, consistent, project appropriate, low mouth noise
DELIVERY – solid and in the spirit of the text and author’s intent. Timing and pacing is extremely appropriate. Varied and not too predictable. No editing issues.
EYE BRAIN MOUTH CONTROL – accurate and effortless delivery.
CONSISTENT – high energy, good articulation, breath and pitch control.
ANALYSIS – understands the story arc and characters.
CHARACTERISATION – brings to life. Distinct and consistent in tone, attitude, age, accent. Voices match characters. (Shane East brings all those Jesse vibes back!)
SEPARATION- clear and decisive for all performers.
INVESTMENT – the emotional connection helps with visualisation.

📚 STORYLINE 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ 😘😘
Now, it’s been quite a while since a book that is well into a series made me giggle from the first chapter! What a glorious start to book 4 before we are slammed back into the notorious Mafia world.
Seeing the 2 marvellously messed up male lead characters becoming even more … drool worthy and the 2 women becoming a lot more stronger was such a delight. The twists and turns had me guessing the entire way through. Very, very clever and in hindsight, the clues were all there. Yes, I got it wrong and what a whiplash of plot lines. JEM is clearer the master at this genre.
Some great giggles along the way. Honestly 💩 stories are always just a great giggle and the boys sure didn’t miss the boat on this one. Too funny.
I throughly enjoyed this book and eager to get to the final books. Many hints and clues into the final book plot are thrown into this story. Well done JEM,. This series has had me hooked and has simply got better and better with each story.
