This book series suffers from audio sound effects. They’re distracting, unneeded, and can even be alarming. The underlay of when a spider is speaking is horrible and detracts from the performance, when driving some of the sound effects are even concerning. They persist throughout the at least next 3 books, had I known they were there before buying I would have skipped this series. Whole thing would be better without, Jeff/Annie are good enough narrators, why poison their performance?
