🎧AUDIO VERSION🎧 ⭐️⭐️⭐️/ 5

Narrators: Marie Hawkins and CJ Grey

Now, as an audible addict I have to say this production was sub par. Errors in production were evident and the voices were not as enjoyable as other audible productions. 

ARTICULATION  - clean, clear, precise (albeit too precise on occasions) 
BREATHING – controlled, volume is consistent, projection is appropriate, low mouth noise
DELIVERY – editing issues throughout. 
EYE BRAIN MOUTH CONTROL – accurate on most occasions
CONSISTENT – lacking energy, poor articulation within various characters. 
ANALYSIS – story arc and characters not delivered well. 
CHARACTERISATION – lacking in tone, attitude, age, and accent. Voices were a poor match to characters. 
SEPARATION- some spillover between narrator and character. 
INVESTMENT – lacked emotionally connection to the story which lead to a poor picture vocally. 

STORY: 

Ok folk, if you have read the Becka Mack series Playing for Keeps, you will be disappointed with this book. Very closely related in content but not executed as crisply or exquisitely as Becka Mack’s writing. I would suggest you read this first, then read Becka Mack for the next standard. 

The story plot was a little disappointing and predictable. It would have been lovely to hear of more of the other characters woven throughout to build the anticipation of the next book.  Not worth a full audible credit (luckily I didn’t as on got this one on a sale day).
