Joel Leslie does an amazing job bringing life to SJ Himes’ characters. These characters are written with great depth and development and Mr Leslie brings all that depth to his narration. Angel is a conflicted and imperfect character doing the best he can to keep his brother safe in a world of vampires, witches, and otherworld creatures. Simeon provides a steady balance to Angel which is greatly needed. Side/secondary characters aren’t as developed yet, but the trade of potential drives one to keep reading the series and watch them all come to life.
