I bought and read the books for this series and had to hear it when I realized it was on audible. The story has a slow start but once into it i couldn’t put it down. The voice of Sabine is irritating in the beginning but then as the character matures she loses the sarcasm and slang of her teenage years. The story evolves and becomes both mystery, intrigue and romance. I believe it is more difficult for male readers to play the female characters than female narrators. The male characters are done so well that the reader will overlook that as the chapters are read. Well done! I can’t wait for book 2.
